OK, I give up. I have been really bad. I kept meaning to get back onto my diet and kept putting it off. I was always going to start tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. However, tomorrow finally arrived, when I realize we had only about 2 months until our next cruise and some clothes were rather tight again. I got on the scale and after checking a couple of times (playing with the adjustment to make sure that it was at zero) and then getting really mad at myself for putting so much weight back on, I decided, I put it on and I can take it right back off. I also realized how much encouragement that I got from everybody, so I decided to resurrect this thread.

Last week I started and my first weigh in was Monday and I lost 9 lbs. My next weigh in is tomorrow and I am hoping for 3 more, but will see. I have only 46 days to go, so I have to stay focused. This next week I start at the gym.

It is really hard I know for everybody to stay on their diets, but I found this to really help and be an encouragement as well as having some accountablity to others going along with the same struggles and temptations.
