After the great kolache incident of 2011...I have gained 2.4 pounds. I feel crappy about it - but what can I do. My BAD choice, right? Just keep on keepin' on. Back on protocol today.

You should have seen the corn fritter binge I had last night. Thankfully, I was asleep and in bed while it happened. I shudder to think what the scale would have said if it had been a binge in THIS realm of consciousness.

Keep on keepin' on!

So TOM seems to have only lasted one day. Should i start injections back today?

Most people don't skip injections during TOM.

Good morning Spring Starters! Today is day 3 of VLCD. I've lost 4.4 in two days! Yippee! I'm 183 lbs now...going down.

That Is AWESOME! I hope to do as well ( I'm only VLCD 3). I'm right behind you!

It's a small setback however, not a throw in so don't give up.....I'm not speaking for all but I'm sure for most of us when I say "we've been there" (I have)! I gained the 2-3lbs as well and lost them within the next few days. It will come back off! :-)

Don't skip during TOM, that was based on old science, keep taking them as normal. With increased cravings at that time I think it's a disaster waiting to happen to try to skip then. I'd start back on them today and don't worry those didn't make you gain 2 pounds of fat, it will come back off. Consider a lesson learned and move on.

Today is day 1 of my interuption. Need to run to town and pick up a few things. Hope everyone has a great day!

I want to be posting my 10 pound loss to you all in a couple of weeks & dancing around in my size 6 jeans by my hubby's birthday. If I can just get over the BIG HUMP (that's 150 for me...) In my head, I'm 25 & in a size 4 again. Oh, to just be the weight on my driver's license? Cheers to all!

Welcome! I know how you feel about drivers license weight! That is one of my mini-goals. If everything goes well, I should hit it hopefully near the end of the round.

They happen, but you're right, it's definitely better than nothing.

I didn't get to be able to respond to you yesterday, but just wanted to say please don't get too upset about this. It happened and it's done. You lose so much a day anyways, that the Great Incident will be a distant memory. You can do it!

Way to go! The fun begins!

I can join the .2 club today! Oh well, it's better than nothing. Hoping for a big whoosh tomorrow. I had to use some Hydrocortisone cream yesterday for my eczema because my skin was so raw I was desperate. That usually makes me stall EVERY time.

I just found that I have to travel for work on Monday so I'm soooo mad. Now I have to find a way to sneak my food in during the luncheon. I don't mind doing it, but I hate the stares of people thinking that I think Im too good for the food there. Does that sound dumb? LOL
