A ticker would be nice...LOL, I keep forgetting to make one - or putting it off - when I have the time to do it. Maybe this week (see, I don't feel like doing it right now. LOL

149.5# yesterday and again today.

Yesterday (Sunday) was an on program day!

I just need to string together another 3 days of staying on program and then I'll be back to feeling good about myself.

The waistband of my jeans is cutting into the fluffy fat, very uncomfortable. Jeans are also cutting into the bend of my thighs. That should be incentive to get myself back on track!

Hope everyone is doing well.

One day is better than what i am sitting here doing...I am planning and getting everything in order, but you are at least a day ahead, so that is a start. I also got one of the pedometers. Gotta start remembering to use it more. Hope you have a great week.

148.5# - weight is going back down slowly but surely. I made it through yesterday without anything carby or sugary (I did have extra protein and will continue to that until I get back into ketosis--not on program but the easiest way for me to avoid the sugar cravings).

Thanks sidrah...hope you can get yourself back on program.

Hey T-glad to see that you are still in a good mind set and fighting the good fight. I am glad that you let us know how you are doing, even when you are struggling (wish I could do the same).

147.5# Scale did not stop jumping between 147.0 and 147.5 long enough for me to decide which weight was correct, so I decided I should go with the higher weight, even though I really want to claim the lower one. Really looking foward to getting these last pounds off and then beginning transition. It is time to move ahead, get the weight off and then learn how to eat healthy, normal amounts so that I do not regain again.

Thank you Oksoonergal, I'm sorry that I did not say that yesterday.

This morning's weight was 147 (hooray!).

Busy day, left home too early and am wore out.

Leaving for the day soon, no time for anything but leaving behind a number.

Yesterday I was still having lots of cravings and hunger, I sure hope ketosis and the Medi-groove happen soon!

Quiet here, hopefully that doesn't mean struggles are happening.

147.5# again.

Still on program, still having a surprising amount of head hunger (thinking I'm hungry but knowing I should be solidly in the Medi-groove of ketosis). I'm going to cut out the Splenda coffee creamer that I've used. It may be the culprit of keeping me craving sugary foods. There are some cookies in the drawer & some muffins on the counter that DD made...they loom in my mind all day long.....oh, and the ice cream in the freezer has been calling out to me, too. Geez, surrounded by off program trigger foods (I did not bring these foods into the house and they are being eaten by the other 4 people here)-not surprising that I have longings throughout the day to shovel it into my face. Staying strong and staying out of them. Not one bite physically------but 10 million calories consumed mentally. This (staying on program) is not easy at all.....but it is so worthwhile.

I hope those who are struggling, will find the strength they need today.

Taking DH's car to mechanic's this a.m., then either going with my mom to her doctor appointment (bronchitis/breathing problems) or heading to babysit 2 grandchildren while DD takes 1 to the doctor. This afternoon, I was asked to go to an appointment with my brother to talk to radiation oncologist to see what the CT scan and the bone scan showed. He was told that the CT scan showed tumors on (or in) his lymph nodes--so that may mean Lymphoma. I'm feeling a lot of stress and working on ignoring the desire to eat my way through the day--instead I want to remember that God will not leave us, nor give any of us more than we can handle.

[oksoonergirl26]

Ah T-I am sorry about your brother's worsening condition, and I am sorry that you are having to deal with all this. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

[Tawanda]

Thank you OKsoonergal. Good news at the RO doctor...no lymphoma! Radiation for the other cancer is to begin within the next few weeks. He is happy to begin treatment and get rid of the cancer.

Went to bed at 1:30 this morning and got up at 4:45 so did not bother to weigh. Insomnia is the pits.
