I know some who can't sleep without melatonin--Whether it's causing sleepiness, or just part of their nightly routine, I don't know.

Not losing but not gaining. Fiber has calories so I have to eat less to account for that!

I did, however, get on the floor this morning to do exercises I have not done in years. I used to do 75 sit-ups a night and thought I would be lucky to do 5 but easily did 25. Went ahead and did the rest of all the back exercises I used to do.

Hugs all,

Good Morning Everyone,

I am not gaining weight or losing any, which is normal for me. I am still watching everything I eat and exercising when I can.

Good Luck everyone!

Good morning y'all

It looks like everyone is still going strong, making positive changes & moving in the right direction! Keep it up... we can do this!

Well, 1 more pound gone forever! Yep, slow & steady... but at least it's going in the right direction.

I KNOW that I haven't done everything in my power to get it coming off faster. I KNOW that I should exercise more. I am watching what I eat and limiting my indulges.... but I could always do better! Yes, I own my choices because ultimately it's up to me! I get in these lazy funks where I let life control me... when I should be controlling my life! Negative self talk pops in my head, and sometimes it's hard to snap out of it. I'm telling you, it's a daily struggle sometimes.

But, I'm only 5 pounds away from my first personal goal I set. I've been doing WW for 4 months now... and have lost 27 pounds. Must. keep. going!

I hope that everyone has a fantastic, healthy day!

Hey all!

Long time, no talky!

I have been out of the loop both here and with WW for a few weeks now. Still following the plan loosely but not focused as much as I'd like.

I went to Juney's birthday party in Portland for 5 days this past weekend and drank a LOT, ate a LOT, and generally opened the gate for some serious calories. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't eating butter from the box or licking cream from the walls but I certainly ate cake and pie more than a few times

I was fearful of weighing in but went ahead and did it this morning.

I gained 2 pounds.

ONLY 2.

I was all prepared to see a 6 or 7 pound gain and was overjoyed about only gaining 2. Hell, I can take a dump and loose 2 pounds.

I'll be hitting the elliptical tonight and had some strawberries and a banana for breakfast. Also pounding some water and plan to have a healthy dinner.

Glad to be back on plan and back in here with all of you!

I wondered where you were!! Nice to have you back Medusa.

Ahhh you made me laugh, 2 pounds and you could lose that in one crap.

Take magnesium, if you don't already. If you have a wacked out digestive system and have had life long constipation, chances are you lack that lovely essential element in your diet. I wish someone would have shared that little golden piece of info with me YEARS ago!!

Anyway... I am sure you had a great time with June celebrating a wonderful birthday!! Welcome back!!

I'm a Quinia pusher! High in magnesium and high in fiber.....low in calories. People who have migraines should eat foods with magnesium in them. Thats what fever few is! One of the ingrediants in Topamax, is Magnesium Oxide,
a combination migraine medicine. The pharmacist shared that with me, and also told me, when you are in the hospital and have any I.V.'s.....magnesium is mixed into
your I.V. solutions so you do not have constipation.

I had a really great time at my hip hop dance class. It was a lot of sweaty, nonstop fun...lol I think I'm gonna try out the kickboxing/dance mix class on Saturday. I do so much better with exercise when it's fun lol!

<insert envy face> I wanna do a hip hop dance class.

I do wwaaayyy better if I can smile while I am sweating and hurting!!

Kickboxing/dance mix class....now that sounds like it would take a couple (at the very least) of classes for me to get my feet to agree on which way to go and when!!
