Well I really thought I would achieve my 10% today. I only missed it by 200g last week, but no it wasn't to be, I stayed the same :-( I was really well on program too. After a big dinner party on Saturday night where I did well on choices and portion control I banked the excess points for the next few days. This week will be difficult, with my MIL 70th birthday on Thursday and mine on Friday. 2 special dinners. Good thing is with the MIL visiting we are doing quite a lot of walking. I hope to stay the same for the next week all things considered. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland
Stress, even from happy events, really taxes the system. You did really well at maintaining. But look at the positive language you used - you made good choices, and used portion control. That is a great victory! Enjoy the birthday celebrations - you deserve to have fun!

How frustrating, but still, think of it as a great maintenance practice! And it 's great to read you did so well at the dinner party. You will do the same this week, and I 'm predicting a great loss for you next week! -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/102.2/minigoal 99.9 Goal 68 Kg 134.1/102.3/minigoal 220.3/Goal 150 pounds NYNY 227.3/225.3/214

The 10% goal will come, just keep making good choices and exercising portion control. All that walking sounds lovely.

Aw - how irritating for you - I do feel for you. Still, I suppose (small comfort) it's better than gaining, so here's hoping that next week does it for you.......good luck with the special dinners, I know how challenging they can be 🙂

A maintain is better than a gain any day! Good luck next week. Get in lots of exercise and water and enjoy your week! -- Brenda 209/172/150 NYNY goal 160

Thanks Wendy, I am looking to my MIL birthday an mine, we are celebrating by going up the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland, a very high mountain with incredible views and loads of snow. Champagne of course as the MIL will be 70, i really admire her from braving this trip on her own, ( ok she was taken to the airport and we picked her up at this end but still) We did some gentle walking in the emmental Valley today along the river ( about 2km) for an "old girl" with 2 artificial hips and 1 artificial knee she did really well. I am proud of her. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland

Thanks Nathalie, I am aiming for a maintain this week, with MIL visiting and 2 birthday dinners, not sure my resolve will hold up to that. MIL will be 70 today so we are off to a Butterfly House, some walking but slow. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland

Thanks PR, I know I will get my 10% but I was kind of hoping for this week. The walking is slow but better than nothing, maybe I can do my exercise bike in the ams as well. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland
