BMcCloud, Anne and GlennR - Yahoo, great going this week!
Loralei - Happy Birthday to your dad!
Fancyfinch - I totally get what you are talked about. Any boys reading this may want to put their fingers in their ears and close their eyes (really, just skip to the next post
). I used to have a monthly food blowout and I couldn't figure out why until I started tracking my cycle in my calendar. The week before my Auntie Flow would visit I would consistently eat every pretzel, chocolate chip and jar of peanut butter in the house. I've dealt with it by adding a pop up reminder in my calendar for that time to remind myself how I am about to feel and that psychological preparation enabled me to just eat more starchy foods and accept a few days of being hormonally hungry. I'm glad your tastes are beginning to change, that is huge!
Nurse Kim and Sarleney - Nice job! That's a great loss.
Welcome Asia - glad you will be joining us this week.
Hi Sirdle!
Kathy - what kind of weight class are you taking? There's an area that I need some inspiration and motivation.
Dave Dardinger - Fantastic! I hope everything heals up quickly.
Welcome back Mark! All losses count, definitely take them when you get them and celebrate.
Marlene - Great work this week. That's a great video too. For anyone who hasn't seen it, take a look at the link below:

Rresn50 - That's exactly it, fresh week, fresh start. You can do this.
Solstice - That's a fantastic loss (it's the same as mine this week
)
Robert - You're doing great. What kind of scale are you using? If you're keeping your percentage of fat low, by avoiding the oil, dairy and high fat plant foods, you needn't worry about all the complex carbs. It will right itself in time. Our bodies are amazing at this type of regulation when they're being given the proper fuel. Keep plugging away, you've already come so far. Be very proud of yourself! (I'm currently also trying to find my new normal, it'll take some experimentation)
