Don't stress, its probably mostly Water retention. I can gain 3 lbs overnight for no reason, then it goes away a few days later and I've changed literally nothing!

Same here!

Have a good cry... Nope

Well I will have my Good Cry for Day#11. Tomorrow another Endoscopy, maybe THIS ONE will show healing? Drawing or Painting? I paint with Words, I am a Poet after All. If I come up with something appropriate I'll be back. And even if I don't get something formulated tomorrow I will exhibit my Day#12 😃 Smile for tomorrow will be a Beautiful Fresh Day for Me!

Check in 6/11/2019 - I am back on the high end of my maintaining bounce range. I'm here to get my weight back down - VSG June 2014 /2017, High weight 254, - Goal for this month is to lose 4 pounds this challenge.

• 6/10 weight is 139
• 6/11 todays weight 137

Day 11 – drawing or painting a good cry. This is my last week with my grandkids. My son’s divorce is finalized. I don’t even know where to begin. How do you explain to a four and one year old that they won’t be seeing dad and grandma often. Grieving for what they are going through. Cried while running six miles.

@thatch Glad you caught your 3 lb gain quickly, are you going to change things up?

Yep, back on the wagon as of yesterday, getting in my 5 mile walks, drinking Water and NOT the sweet tea I drank all weekend. I had a party on Friday night and I ate party leftovers all weekend. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

*Guest* B-Side Question:

What is your current absolute favorite article of clothing?

[seaforest 562]

Whoops - missed posting yesterday. There was no crying. I cry when I feel like it and not otherwise. Also, burpees were a no go. Some of the exercises are beyond me so I'm giving myself a pass...and that includes today as well. (Although you never know, I might try later on.) I'm happy to smile as much as I can today and my mother's on her way for a visit so, hopefully, the smiling comes easily and naturally. I'm with GT - I always wanted my wrinkles to be due to smiles. Right now, my favorite clothes are the ones that I have shrunk into although I'm sad at letting some of the other pieces go. Today, I think it's the black pants that I'm wearing. They fit well and are comfortable and show off my trim legs.

Flutter kicks done, I prefer and need ab exercises. I had a good cardio workout today too. I smiled and said hi to everyone within reason so far going and in and out of the fitness center. I’m going shopping this afternoon so I will continue my smile mission. 😁

B side: Favorite piece of clothing. A casual dress from Boden US. It fits great, it’s comfortable and it’s easy to dress up or down. Currently I am on a white pants hunt and I’m not having any luck so far. I swear I have shopped everywhere. It’s so frustrating, and sizes are all over the place.

Way behind here!

I'm going to try to catch up on all the exercises, from the 8th through today. I hope there aren't people in the room below me!

I am doing well on my walking a mile a day, a majority of days goal, I'm 9 for 11!

Day 8 - Small things that make me excited

Keeping two house plants alive for over 3 months now (a miracle!). Butterflies in my yard. Climbing into a bed with fresh, clean linens.

Day 9 - Things that cause me pain

GOT, ever expanding "to do" lists, my deflate chest

Day 10 - What do you want to be remembered for

My sense of humor and empathy

Day 11 - Good cry/drawing/painting

Nope

Day 12 - Smile as much as you can

Working out of town, don't want to look like a grinning idiot all day, we'll see

B side - What is your current absolute favorite article of clothing?

I can't pick just one! I have become a complete nightmare about my clothing! I take so long to pick an outfit to wear, packing for a trip has become an ordeal. It's all cause I'm insanely full of myself currently, and I think I look cute in everything 🤣

One thing I did not predict, is how much I'd love patterned pants
