weighed in.Only a slight 18 lb weight gain.My first weight gain of any weigh-in in 2 years of doing this.Has been a rough month but not really sure why the gain,have not changed eating habit that much but I have taken in more sodium and a lot less water.One month left to turn it around.Lighten Up in

this Sat.and not sure if I will show a loss.Weight has been all over the place this month.Should be able to hit the gym again soon so next month I am hoping for a big loss of at least 10 lbs.You can only go so far with diet alone.PT has me doing strenthening exercises for back so I should be able to hit the treadmill and elypticl soon.Lighten Up in

can't excersize but I started back therapy today,so hopefully soon I can get back at it.Really have to watch what I eat but I am losing weight so that is good.Had Dr. apointment Tuesday and he was very impressed with my numbers,everything was greatly improved and he said you even did it over the winter months and during the holidays.Lighten Up in

sure when I posted last but I have been going thru a lot with my back.Have not been eating well so even though I am taking steroids I am actually losing weight so I quess every bad situation even has

to do my best to keep losing but I am finding it extra hard.My back is really messed up,can not work,walk or exercise.I am on my second round of steroids and we know what those do to you.Living on pain meds untill things calm down enough so I can go for therapy.I was down my 5% at last weigh-in but it could all change this time around.I will not give up though.I will battle thru this and eventually get back on track,hopefully before next weigh-in so I do not get booted out.Either way I will keep at it untill I reach my goal.Hope everyone is making the grade so we do not lose anyone.Lighten Up in

happy with only losing 3 lbs but it was a loss nonetheless.3 weeks to the midway point so I want to go down at least 7 lbs in that time.I found that diet pop is really not diet friendly.Stick with water and make sure to get your protein and fiber.Lighten Up in

week to go till weigh-in and hopefully I did not eat to much this weekend.I have to rely on my diet because my back is acting up so bad I find it hard to walk at times.I feel as though I am in a groove though so hopefully the pounds keep falling off.Lighten Up in

got off track after our first weigh-in so it is good to be back at it again.Reading the paper about the one that only went astray during the superbowl and that was to eat 2 cookies made me a little ashamed of the way I have been cheating.I really need to work harder over the weekends and then I will see a big difference.It is coming slow but sure and I am doing it in a way that I hope will last.The exercise is the hardest part do to health issues so it is important that I eat right.Hope to see a lot of faces tonight at Cabanas.Lighten Up in

have been on a 4 day binge since our weigh-in.It took me 2 weeks to get my program working then I get a good weigh-in and now I blow it again.Had another good dinner at Cabanas but came home and ate Jelly Beans.Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning so I will try to restart again.I will do it and make it happen.Lighten Up in

was good,down 9 lbs but the the rest of the weekend was spent eating all the bad stuff I need to stay away from.Going to ramp it up now that I have seen good results,tweeking the eating habits a little to get more protein.Definatley hitting Cabanas on tuesday.Want to go heavier on the weights and start going to bootcamp.Hope everyone is doing well.Lighten Up in

our meeting at the health dept. tonight and then went to cabannas for our first free meal.It will definately be a regular tuesday night thing now.The food was great and the staff was even better,can not wait untill next week.My wife is going thru some medical issues that has kept us sidetracked but as we had dinner we really felt part of the group and are making plans to ramp it up a few notches.It gets more exciting as the program rolls along.Lighten Up in

it is less than 1 week to weigh-in and I am still struggling.I have lost a little but not good enough,but on the positive side I have a few extra days to lose because I thought wegh-in was this past Sat.I have found limiting calories and not eating enough protein is a bad thing,not only do you not lose as much but you do not feel to good either.Changing my eating habits a little to see if I can do better.Goodluck everyone and I will see you on Saturday.Lighten Up in
