Try not to "blow out" too much, it will make induction all the more trying. Have a great weekend and look forward to hearing from you next week.

I just started on this plan and I am worried about the big long weekend too. Especially since I am going to my brothers in VA. Im just gonna do my best and I guess if it doesnt work then I will be like you and start off right on tuesday morning.

Sounds like you know what you are doing by losing the weight before. Congrats on that and good luck toyou on tuesday.

GREAT PLAN!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you, I'm making extra food, so I dont eat anything illegal. You have lost quite a few lbs in the past, maybe you can give me some insight, and I can help you too. I have been there too, lost some and gained some plus more. Been there done that, and now I'm determined to do this. Hope I can visit you and we can help each other out. Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!!
Talk to you later, come visit me anytime. Look forward to hearing from you.

HI EVERYBODY! Great to hear from you!

Vicki - Life has been a daily blowout for months so I'm not really having a HUGE deal - probably just a bun and some beer. My biggest hurdle will be trying to stick to it with all the stress I am under (which is the reason I strayed in the first place).... another time.

Stacy - Good luck to you too! Try to keep on track if you are already on your way! Have lots of LC snacks around for you to munch on while everybody else is digging into the potato salad and chips!

Shannon - That sounds like a great plan - and I'll come visit!

Well - I am off and running - (so to speak).
How did everybody's weekend go?

I have re-started today and am rolling along!
Come visit me!
See you in my journal!!

Hi Scootergirl,

I too am starting fresh, although this is only my 5th week. I just have a new attitude towards this WOE now.

I realize that counting calories is important, along with having alcohol occasionally instead of 3 nights a week, and also LC Candies.

So I too feel like I am making a fresh start today.

Oh yeah I intend on doing sit-ups everyother day. Since I don't have time to do them at the gym, I have been skipping them. I used to do them in the evenings after dinner, so I'm going to start that trend again.

Good luck all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEE!!!

I had a deal with myself that I'd do my exercises whenever I watched a basketball game - I need to find something like that again!
Thanks for being there and good luck! Hurray for your new attitude!!

i did pretty good over the weekend. i had a few slip ups but nothing really major. my sis n law was real good, she tried to cook things that i could eat. she thought you could only eat boiled eggs and i got up for breakfast and here she was boiling me 2 eggs to eat. i came home 2 pounds less than when i left. i have done real good today i am just still having trouble getting in enough calories but im working on it.

glad you got started back today, good luck.

All the best on your fresh start today. Just remember to be committed, then things should fall into place

Good luck!

I have been doing really well - so far!!
Thanks everybody for stopping by!!
Come see me in my journal!

Wee One,
I'm in exactly the same boat. I go to the gym before work, so I've been consistantly running late and skipping abs. I'm thinking of doing them every night as soon as I get home from work, (which will also inhibit snacking.) I'm also going to start counting calories, and try to cut the drinking back to 2x/ week, tops. (I think that's my biggest obstacle.) Good luck. Let me know how you do!

I have the SAME problem.
I adore a cocktail. I have to be really careful.
