Think most of that was water weight but the number looks good and I'll take it for whatever.

You're almost to your goal!

Yes but between now and next week is turkey day(s) and I intend to enjoy.

I'm not going to gorge but I'm not going to restrict much, too much, I don't think.

Today is a great day and shining so weigh in with a smile.

mightysparks, great loss; yip-yip.

funkykunky, every loss counts; good work.

dbcanada, good for you; keep the trend.

robin9395, terrific and congrats on making goal before month end.

gramma_onthefarm, sometimes it goes that way; don't be too hard on yourself, just stay focused.

amber_poole, good loss for the week; stay positive.

jojo7777, great loss; the body does strange things during illness.

michachu, every little bit counts. Is that for this week or for last week, which was missing?

foxylady_st, good for you; keep it up.

navane, at least the gaining has stopped so that is a plus. Congrats "Volunteer Firefighter", we need some of those dedicated people where I live too.

Hope everyone has a great day and stay positive with losing weight the healthy way.

robin9395, glad to be of help. Sorry, I won't be around
weekly all month as I will be traveling again for TG day.

amymarieky, good surprises are always welcome.

liposuctioned, WooHoo is right!

foxylady_st, results may show up next week; hang in there.

archer08 and enigma42, next week will show a difference; stay positive.

annschmech, glad to help; honor the trend.

jojo7777,  sorry to hear that. Stay warm.

Everyone is getting ready for TG day next week and taste buds are being set for turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and a bunch of goodies so just pace yourselves and enjoy the holiday. Try to limit heavy starches with just a savoring bite and heap up on the veggies.  Take a look at crustless pumpkin pie recipes too.

Congrats to all you happy losers and challengers.  The spreadsheet update is reported in  OP at Report 11/15/09 Week 2

I was down to 134 but had triple injection of cortisone Friday and think gain is due to water retention from medical procedure.  Hope to see progress next week.

Looks like everyone is hanging in during holiday month and an awesome reporting group. Keep on losing and eating healthy. If you're not losing, reevaluate meal plan and make some changes.  Good luck for next week.

Looks like everyone is doing quite well and hats off to those who posted a gain for accountability as it will come off.  good luck to all and stay positive.

In a large bowl, put 1/2-1 cup asparagus, spinach or other veggies, 1 tsp crushed garlic,  1 tbs olive oil and microwave 2-3 minutes at 50% power.

-meanwhile mix 2 eggs and 2 oz yogurt.

-add feta cheese to veggie dish, cover with egg mix; top with parmesan cheese, onion salt, pepper and microwave for 4 min at 50% power.

Not sure if this is an omelette, fritata or crustless quiche but it is quick and good.

Sometimes I use just 1 egg and egg beaters and other cheeses.

Well I didn't know I was on the Warrior Diet per se but that is how I ate for 40-50 years and why I ended up overweight and unhealthy.

Can't believe that I could gain 6#s so quickly but it must have been the eggnog pancakes along with a lot of other goodies.  I have quite a goal just to get back where I was last month.

Glad to see so many people returning and newcomers too. Every one of you have done a tremendous job in the past and have to be commended for progress so keep up the good work. You can do it even with TG Day coming up.

Get Fit Faster with This One Easy Rule

Glad to see everyone is doing so well and kudos to those who posted even though they show a gain as that is accountability in true form. You will succeed with a positive attitude and will power with mindset.

I may or may not be able to address each of you individually as I'm traveling and will be through November but just know that you can do it! Congrats to all who made goal and congrats to everyone for posting.

Next month's thread is at ***November***Weight Loss Challenge--Sign Ups Always Welcome!

Happy Halloween and stick with toothbrushes!

Exercise Alone Is Not the Answer to Weight Loss

jojo7777, thanks for the recipe and hope you are feeling better.

kchiafulio, glad you're back on the wagon; you can do it.

=========

I'll take a toothbrush please! Hope everyone is staying healthy and losing lots for the final week.

nassigkn and bellylaugh57, holding is good; you have great
losses for the month so far.

funkykunky, Youre still showing a loss; hope the stress ceases.

Bahai99, you did good with a pound loss for the week; keep it up.

tenpets, your attack plan may get you what you want.  Stay positive and happy anniversary.

jojo7777, that soup sounds delicious; care to share? Hope you get better.

=========

Hope everyone had a good and healthy weekend.

cassenyalogan, terrific and congrats on going over goal.

starrstruck1956, good bounce and loss. Yeah.

woodlandfairie, you did very well and congrats for the mindful lifestyle change view.

amayou82, the streak is bound to change soon. Keep the faith.

gramma_onthefarm, Wow, you really put the heat on this
week; way to go. Your comments are very encouraging and helpful.

dbcanada, that's a good loss; be very happy and good luck with next week's menu.

craigversion2, yes current goal is quite high but you are losing at a very good rate and are learning what to expect from your body to chose future goals.

robin9395, great loss and glad the plateau is out of the picture now.

lulu_meek, congrats on making goal.

jdetam, sometimes a break is needed and may do some good. Stay positive.

iusedqu1nn, good for you; next week will show more.

enigma42, try to stay positive and stay healthy above all else.

favoritebook, you're doing great; don't be impatient with a
moving scale. The slower the loss, the more apt to keep it off - so I'm told. {{son}} too!

jojo7777, Red Robin can do horrors but glad you maintained.

sarahjcpatton, good loss; be proud.

scaleshy, right on! Wish I had the answer to candy other than hibernate. Congrats for goal!

ladychach, change in calories may take awhile to take effect but will show soon.

ranchobernardo, WooHoo you made goal; good job.

amymarieky, next week may surprize you; hang in and stay positive.

dinolike, could be high sodium intake but it will pass. Keep on tracking.

sweetjuney, you are getting there and that is what counts.

mraeann26, your body is probably adjusting to new environment. Congrats on making goal.

tonicstudio, good attitude; things happen and it will come off.

archer08, look at you go! Good job.

navane, I didn't start losing last 10 until I stopped eating processed foods which is difficult for you. Stay the course or maybe a break will do you good.

oakmommy24, that's not good news; glad you are back in the saddle and stay positive.

suckafolove, good loss and sorry to hear about your aunt.

foffles, one way to shake out the plateau is to eat way over maintenance for a day or so then cut back calories. Stay positive and healthy.

==============

Everyone is doing real well and the turnout was just great in spite of no loss. Be proud and stay accountable; you can do it! Commitment, perseverance and time will get you there but do stay healthy and happy.

Here's something to do about sagging skin but don't think I will follow it.

The reporting group lost 116.4 pounds at 1.1% average loss for month to date second week.  Way to go guys!  Keep thinking slimmer and trimmer for tomorrow's weigh in.

Here's an interesting article on Artificial Sweeteners which leads to three extremely interesting other links concerning not so good foods for eye opener.

=========

I had a real good workout yesterday at the gym with an hour on the floor doing stretches and weights then another hour in the swimming pool. Pool time is split between water aerobics and swimming. Three years ago, I could barely do one lap and now am doing 8. I could do more and have done 9-10 but 2 hrs exercising is enough in once stretch.

My weight is back down to 130.4 where I was 2 years ago and last July so I've met my original goal and should be satisfied. Got tired of wearing baggy pants and bought some new ones that fit. Now my mind has to adjust to that tight fit again and not think 'fat' because of the snugness. The new clothes aren't too tight, just not loose like the old ones. Strange what the mind does with the feeling of clothes for me.

I'm starting to talk myself into feeling comfortable with myself; maybe that is the first step to maintaining or accepting success(?)

Good luck with tomorrow and all future weighing.

Also, you can remove the recipe from the public browser if you want to put one in that is purely for your use. I sometimes put a recipe several times with different serving sizes for ease in adding to log.

How do you do that, remove from public view? 

I often make the same recipe with one modification but just add it as one serving and don't save the recipe.  If I could save it, not for public eye, then all I'd have to do is modify a saved recipe each time.

What you do, sounds great as I often don't eat a full serving or eat 1.5 and am stuck with how to enter into food log.
