I have a confession to make. I weighed myself last week, but I was so discouraged, I didn't log in to report my results. It just felt lame to make excuses.
I know that's wrong -- we need to be honest and report both the ups and down. I know it can be encouraging to me to look down the names recorded on "Mr. Linky" and see both pluses and minuses -- encouraging because it tells me we're not alone in having up and down weeks.
So -- I apologize for that.
I knew I had not been on track, but last week I was up by over 5 lbs. It was also "that time of month" (again! Only 23 days since the last time!) and I knew that was a factor, but I didn't realize how much of a factor.
This week I am down by 5 from last week, but I am not going to ask for my - 5 lb. button because I have only lost 4 since the beginning of the challenge. I've been up and down with those 4, but I am hoping this week to progress. A big event and some other busy-ness are over now, so I will be able to get back to tracking what I eat and focusing on what I need to do.

Hang in there dear, life happens. You are going to do better, bless you.
Good for you - you are being real about it and that is important! I think if you are still down next week you should definitely ask for your button. You go girl - you can do it!
Good for you! It's great that you are seeing results. This week is my bad week. Bleah. Next week will be better, though. :-D
It is so hard to look at that scale and see a change which results in a gain, I know that for sure. Take care of yourself. Hormones are not our friend. I try to weigh myself every morning at the same time. That way if it is up a pound I can take action rather than waiting until it is way up.
Congratulations on the loss, it's all a journey.
Sometimes you just have to take a week off, and you know what? That's O.K. The important thing is that you came back to us!
Kiss those 5 pounds goodbye and ENJOY IT! Good luck this week!
Oh, I'm doing the diet thing too. It's miserable. Just have faith in yourself (something I seem to be lacking personally). I just have to dig deep for some willpower.
