I told the scale, “Hey, no take backies!”
Hi fellow Buddyslimmers! It’s been an emotional week but I’m proud to say I made it. I lost 2 pounds this week. Friday the scale said 3 but it decided to take back 1 of them today. The nerve!
So I survived the weekend somewhat ok. Last Wed I was upset about my husband’s job search that I didn’t want to run that night but with the help of my buddies support on here, I went. I walked Thursday but when Friday came around I just wanted a break so I did. The victory though is that I never once went crazy with my food. I stayed on track. Well, I did go a little hog wild last Saturday for my b-day but even that could have been worse and it was my official cheat day. It just proves to me again that I can have the best of both worlds if I try hard enough.
Things I’m happy about today - My son turned 18 today. Ladies and Gents, I made it! I raised a child until he turned 18 and I am so proud of him. I raised a boy and I think he turned out pretty good. He never gave me more trouble than I could handle. Oh, the teen years were tough but it was more of him wanting to be a man and have his say than anything else.
Have a great weekend Buddies!

You sound like such a good mom. I love that you realized his tough teen years were because he was wanting to be a man. That is so true. My youngest grandchild (there are 7 of them) just turned 18, and his mom is celebrating, too! She has 2 daughters in college, but Marcus was a special challenge. (again, wanting to be a man) Now I have 6 gr.kids in college and maybe one more, he’s thinking Marines…. mom and grandma are not so sure..
That’s a tough one. I agree, you have to have the best of both worlds, if you’re going to live a balanced life. Woman does not live on broccoli and whole wheat pasta alone. 
Hey WonderWoman!! Once again your title is accurate. You’re doing awesome!! Keep up the great work, and seriously CONGRATS on raising a wonderful son!! I am in the trenches now and I fully get how much work that can be. You have every right and deserve to be proud of such an accomplishment.
Also…congrats on being such a little hottie while getting it done!! WOOT!! Keep on keepin’ on girl!! xoxo
Great job! Wonder Wowan, 2 more pounds whoo! hoo! I am proud of you. Congrats! on raising a wonderful son. Luv ya! sista!
Fantastic job on the loss and Happy Birthday to your son!!!
Congratulations on your (mommy)graduation!
and on your 2 lbs! Not fair that your scale took one back. My scale has stopped moving at all. I don’t know what is going on. I know I need more exercise. I look at the people, like you!!! that are being so successful and they are workin’ it!
Gotta get on board!
Blessings!
Congats on your son! You should celebrate,I bet that’s such a great feeling. I have a soon to be 16 year old,and it is a balancing act,feeling like he’s still my sweet little boy, but seeing this handsome 6 ft. young man with hair on his chin! I haven’t had some of the problems that I hear of,my boy will still hug me in public,I mean that’s huge!LOL
Great job on the 2 lbs. I also lost 2 lbs. this week, and I too had a few days where I was a little down,so I will definately take that,and say, this is the start of a new week!
Yeah..that scale can be a little rude sometimes…its done the same thing to me…but, still got a 2 lb loss and thats great!!
Great news for your son…18..wow.
Just wanted to say…with your kind heart..your strength in dealing not only weight loss but life issues….I dont think you could have picked a better name for yourself on here…cause you are certainly a Wonder woman!!!
God bless and have a wonderful weekend!!
Love Debbie
Don’t you hate it when the scales take one back! I say meanie, meanie, give it back! Congrats on the 2 lb. loss!
Been there done that I raised three boys my oldest just turned 28 and I have one 24 and the youngest 19. I wouldn’t want those teen years again when they are 14 going on 40!
Big HUGS!
