The good news is that I am getting a membership to L A Fitness through work for $15 a month.

Just a reminder when you weigh in each Thursday if you are using a name that is different than your forum alias please include it in the post. It makes my life easier if I don't have to figure out who you are each week.

Thanks.

Hey Larry! I am glad you surfaced, I wqas wondering where you were! I don't think you could be any nicer but you can try if you want to, lol.

I ate out a lot this weekend while out of town and was able to find lap appropriate foods at each restaurant.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Joan

No change for me this week, still at 265. This is what I expected after the long weekend I am happy to just maintain.

Hi! I'm checking in today at 137

Okay, JulieG (nu2ywg) checking in today at 211.5, that's down 2.5! Yay! Only 3.5 lb from my goal for the month but boy oh boy it's a BUSY month.

Lucky Larry for the gym membership, that is fantastic! Joan, good for you on the eating out. I always have a bit of a tough time at restaurants, especially when we are eating with other people besides my nuclear family. For some reason, probably too much chit chat and not enough focus on chewing, I end up having a stuck-type episode. I don't usually have to throw up or anything but I usually get very uncomfortable and have to stop eating for several minutes and considering nobody but my husband knows I have had the surgery I usually excuse myself to get through it.

I hope everyone had a great week!

I'm still holiding steady at 229...at least that's not a again. Good luck everyone!

No change here....still 176.4

I hope no one minds if I 'm a late starter!
