So the weather in Texas has gone a little cold...nothing like Michigan, I'm sure. We're military. We just got stationed here in Texas four months ago after living in North Dakota for five years! ha. So I totally get that snowy freezing weather.....and I miss it! I never thought I'd say that. I've never been to Michigan or that area. I've always thought it would be beautiful, though.....

Glad to see you're sticking in there. Today's day 2 for me....and I'm just happy to be back in the swing of things!

PS-We just had some close friends move down to be stationed @ Fort Hood

This daily check in will probably turn into a weekly check in.I have never been into keeping a food diary,and doing one online can be a drag to write and read I'm sure. I am ON Board with No S all the way.Only time will tell~

January 21,2011:
Current weight:197 (-5)

Had a very good week.I have noticed some added benefits of living this lifestyle:taking care of some financial issues,spending,put myself on more of a schedule for keeping house,and family meals have become more of a priority.(One tough thing is that I work @ a restaurant,and good food is always around,and the cook always wants us to taste the special)
Looking forward to another good week,am going to try to keep these 2 S days damages to a minimum so I can see a loss next week

Thursday March 3/day early!

Good and Bad news:Start with the good news:
I have been walking the walk so to say.Days have been falling into place and the scale has been going down~~to be exact my weight this last couple days:193 (-9)Yippeee!!

Here's the bad news:After a DR. appointment with my daughter her weight was much different at the office.Soo, I decided to come home and properly re-calibrate the scale (has never been done).After this process (now accurate)my weight is 200 even.So that tells me I did not really start out at 202 it was really 209!(And my daughter's is 35 not 28~~good for her!)

So I will post for tomorrow:
200 (-9) And on with the show!!

Posted: **Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:39 pm**

So totally back to square one!

Went out and bought a new scale,and this one is 9 pds higher than the old one. So in 2 days I realize I am close to 20 pds higher than what I thought I was.It is hard because I base so much of my success on the scale. I know it's just numbers;and can't take away how far I've come already.I am very frustrated and do not want to be this way any more!

So today it is: 211

And this is the "new" starting point~check in next Friday!

Posted: **Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:31 pm**

That has to be painful and hard. Are you sure that this new scale is correct though? You said that your daughter was 35 lbs at the doctor - what is she on the new scale? Can you get yourself weighed officially somewhere?

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:00 pm**

The scale is correct.She weighs 34.8 on it.

Thank you for your words of encouragement~

I had a really bad day yesterday;finding out my weight is almost 20 pounds over what I thought it was,and my husband lost his job last Friday (main $$$ earner)it finally caught up with me and I had to vent!

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 7:40 pm**

Good Lord! No wonder you needed to vent. I'm really sorry.

The weight mixup is discouraging, but remember that you really HAVE lost a lot of weight and can keep doing so - you'll get back into the 190s and then even lower if you want.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 3:55 am**

You *may* be heavier than you thought, but it's all relative. Whatever weight you've lost, you've lost. The success is exactly the same. *Exactly* the same. Still be proud, and still feel satisfaction.

I wish your husband and you the best of luck in finding new work. That's tough stuff.

Posted: **Fri Mar 11, 2011 1:30 pm**

Awesome!!!

Posted: **Fri Mar 11, 2011 2:21 pm**

Fantastic!!!

Maybe you were retaining water or some sort of weird thing like that. Scales can be the very devil

Posted: **Tue Mar 15, 2011 11:42 pm**

You are doing great, not just on the scale but in sticking with it in spite of adversity. You have a lot going on and are still sticking with it.

Posted: **Wed Mar 16, 2011 12:23 am**

Keep it up, 'dee.

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2011 10:11 am**

TGIF! Hope everyone had a good week.

I had all success except Wednesday was a failure:something about pizza if you don't take the ONE plate right at the beginning!!

Posted: **Fri Mar 18, 2011 2:28 pm**

You are doing wonderfully Chickadee! You've got the right spirit!

Posted: **Fri Mar 25, 2011 10:49 am**

Had a loss this week~despite adversity!This IS a constant learning experience and there will always be small tweaks here and there.
A couple things I have noted lately:Dips are the devil! Really,how can you control these? Now I have to say Wednesday I went overboard on chips and salsa (so it could have been worse)while I was preparing tacos.I really tried to "virtual plate" the chips in a small bowl,but my kitchen is like Grand Central station so people were all eating from the bowl and then it turned into the bag!
Also,trying to overcome night eating syndrome.(problem than I have had for the last few years)I have always had issue with sleep walking and night terrors,now it is just staying away from the damn refrigerator!The thing that gets me is I can have complete control and have a success during the day,but when it comes to NES I am almost possessed and have NO control.So I am constantly trying to figure out ways in which to have the "calm night", last night was a success!

Posted: **Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:01 pm**

Chickadee! You are 2 pounds down since March 11? Fantastic

, You can see that the losses you were racking up when your scale was wrong were still losses and you are on the right track - I love your little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - you'll get there!

Posted: **Fri Mar 25, 2011 2:55 pm**

You're doing good, 'dee. Lots of self awareness, but not much self-anger. Good balance.

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:41 pm**

just checking in~have been spinning my wheels for the last week or more.

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2011 5:22 pm**

Hey sometimes just maintaining is a victory. You have a lot of extra stuff on your mind right now and you are obviously not snacking because of it. Sometimes also it seems as though pounds hang on and on for a week or two, then suddenly give up and drop off!

Posted: **Tue Apr 12, 2011 5:31 pm**

I'm reading the no s book from start to finish~(never done! only bits and pieces)
Really want to get motivated for Spring and trying to have a good week~~
