I sounds like a broken record, but...

DO MORE WEIGHTS!! I mean it--it will really get things moving again.

What is the point in stagnating here where you are when you can easily change it?

What, only one trip a year to vegas??? LOL JK That's about how often I make it out too.

So far it is off to a great start. Two teams of 3! I was hoping for a smaller group of people I actually talk to, and it looks like its turning out to be perfect!!

Sorry to hear that you are having a slow start to June. You'll get over the hump and be back to it. You are one of the most steady and committed guys I know on here. Just keep at it.

Thank you.
I think to get within 7 lbs was pretty good. It's technically a failure but I'm not looking at it like that *L*
Birthday was good. Went to Red Lobster. Went waaaay overboard! *L* I actually drank a Coca Cola on my birthday. 1st one in over a year. It actually didn't taste all that good. I guess I'm 100% cured of my soda addiction huh.

Well, looks like I'm back to where I started.
I'm doing something different this past week and oddly enough it seems to be working. Hopefully it will pay off. I've not exercised a single minute this past week. I've kept my diet the same. I'm hoping to start back exercising this next week and we'll see if it fires back up my weight loss.

I hope your plan works. Sometimes it's good to take an exercise break.

Glad you had a good birthday. You certainly deserved to treat yourself. Was the cola diet or regular? I suspect if it was regular, you'd enjoy a diet soda better. The regular was probably too sweet.

Scalena better get her act together. That's all I've gotta say.

Oh, 2 more months until football season begins!

It certainly doesn't seem to be hurting any. I haven't gained anything but yet I haven't lost either.
The Coke I had was regular. It was a good thing that it tasted bad because I don't want to get hooked on those things again. I'm perfectly fine drinking water all the time now.

I can't wait for football season! You might have heard, UGA VI died about a week ago They'll have a ceremony at the first game this year for the new dog. We might try to get some tickets for that game.

I got your post card this morning! Thank you. I thought the stamp was interesting. Looks like a movie poster. Cool!

Aww...poor Uga VI. He'll be chasing Vols in doggie heaven.

In addition to the other things, you might want to DO MORE WEIGHTS. At this point in your weight loss, you really do need to do them b/c otherwise you're just going to lose a bunch of muscle (if you haven't already) and lower your metabolism even further. I think now you have to choose between what's worse--going to the gym (or doing more weights at home) or sitting at a plateau for ages.

Yeah, I thought those stamps were weird--very different from the usual ones. I thought you'd like it. Glad you did.

Sorry I haven't been around. Going thru some things right now. Just seems like it's one thing after another sometimes. I'm not really doing anything on the diet front. I've stopped counting calories and haven't exercised in I don't know when. I haven't gained back any weight though so I'm ok for now. I guess my new habits that I'm in are keeping me maintained which is really a good sign so I'll be able to not go back to what I used to be. My legs have become more of a problem. I have to sit down quite often. Fairly painful and I don't feel like doing much of anything when that happens. My surgery has finally been approved and I'm scheduled for Sept 8th for my first one. I'll have to have 3 in all. It should cure my problems though and I should be pain free *knocks on wood*
Today I went to the dentist and I have a problem where one of my wisdom teeth was removed. So now I have to have a procedure done on that this coming monday.(at least the hyginest commented on how good I looked since last time she saw me) My daughter just had surgery yesterday on her lip for something I can't even pronounce. She is fine though and will get her 6 stitches out next week.

Reason I thought about getting on here today. It's been one year this past friday since I signed up on this site and today is one year since I started tracking my weightloss here. This is the longest I have ever stuck with any weightloss and the most I ever have been able to lose. Thanks to everyone on this site for helping me get where I am today. Even though I might be MIA some I'll still be around.
