Happy new year to you too Deb :-) 

Thanks Deb, I am one of those that can have big weight swings so doing daily weight checks could help me stay in control. Your advice always helps me and I appreciate your energy. 

Happy New Year Deb. I miss them too. Where is everyone?  

Hi Deb, It has been a while since I have commented but want you to know I still read all the comments. I am pushing myself to get back on my weight loss track. After my daughter's wedding in october I have kind of lost myself again. UGHHH. I gained 4 lbs, not so bad, then the holidays and another 6 lbs. I am very mad at myself but am working hard on getting my mindset to be what it was the last 2 years. I have started journalling again. yeah. I could use some encouragement from anyone reading this. I AM REFUSING TO GAIN THIS WEIGHT BACK. I HAVE COME TOO FAR…. I started walking 4 days ago. That's has been a hugh help and has made me feel so much better so quickly. I wore myself down from the wedding thru the holidays and we lost a family member between thanksgiving and christmas. There has been a lot going on in my household physically and emotionally. This is a new year and I am treating it as such. I am struggling not to pick up the extra candies, etc still lingering at my house. Last year, I didn't allow it at all around me for so long a period of time. I need help with this. My husband wants the goodies around for when he wants a sweet but he is not addicted to sugar like I am. He has had a piece of carrot cake sitting in our fridge for 3 days now just staring at me…… get it? Well enough belly-aching. I need to deal with it like I have before and be much more disciplined than I am. I am happy you are progressing so well, all of your words are encouragement to me. Happy New Year to you and all of the FS members out there. 

You had an awesome year Deb.... Good luck with your maintenance.... It's equally as difficult, trust me! Best wishes for 2015!!! 

Happy New Year, Deb!  

Deb, I do the average weight thing as well, especially works on maintenance, I don't stress over it but it will catch an upward trend quickly. CCerza, welcome back! Sorry about the stresses in your life, wishing you a more stress free 2015 and a successful renewal of your journey.  

Good journal - I think I too need to return to the daily weigh in too while I'm at it w/the food recording, etc. I think doing all of these components will help me get back on track. 

Your journals really mirror a life that filled with 'living, loving, learning! It's nice to have positive input. I often think of your avatar when I'm feeling the pinch in live 'Stay Positive'. It helps.  

Deb! Really love seeing you here,thanks for letting us know when to expect you :) I enjoyed that you posted what Dom taught you about wkly avg's on weight that I stopped reading your entry & avereged mine for Dec. Jeri is correct LOL it will catch an upward trend quickly. But as she also said,I dont stress over it.My reason? I know it can also hit the downward trend just as quickly :D It's nice to be able to remove some struggles from weight maintanence.....knowledge helps us to do that :D And I find that the more struggles are removed,the more I enjoy my Transformation Journey! :) My favorite "weapon" that Ive added to my "battle gear" from 2014------20 Days Is All It Takes To Be Transformed! (Weild this weapon regularly-for like silver that goes untouched, it will lose it's shine )  

Hey deb at the moment i mostly float around FS reading journals as i'm busy adjusting to my new life overseas. Love the weight averaging tip deb and mrs mole mine fluctuates a lot!
