Hi, happy Monday! I'm definitely still on holiday mode I think because last week was rough. I wasn't great with my diet...which the scale reflects that. I need to refocus and get it together.

This week I WILL get my butt back in the gym and get all my Protein and Water in.

My (Viv) weight is 219.6 lbs...no weight loss for me last week. :/

Keep the updates coming! I myself am down 4 pounds this week and where that came from I have NO idea haha. I followed my dietary goal of cutting down my liquid calories and apparently that helped a lot!

@ Michelle - Congrats on the loss!

@ Viv - Like I tell myself, better to maintain than to gain!

@ Jenn - Welcome to the group!
