Well, other than having to spend all day patching servers and PCs for the latest virus threat (I'm an IT Support Manager)...I'm back to being able to post and read on LCE.

Over the last four weeks, I really have not been able to stop by cause of vacation and work schedules.

The issue is that since I have not been getting my daily dose of LCE...I'M UP 7 POUNDS! :crying:

LCE helps me to stay on plan! I was so busy the last few weeks that I slipped up quite a few times (pizza, biscuits, etc). When I was stopping by here everyday (many times a day) it gave me the support to continue eating correctly.

So as long as I can get my daily LCE, I do not cheat. I guess LCE is now one of my daily supplements (from another thread )

I'll update my signature weight on Friday (after I get back to working out today...)

I probably would have given up during the last stall (which I hope is over) if not for this LCE forum. Knowing other people were going through the same thing and sticking to it really helped.

Maybe if I sat in the internet cafe on my cruise and checked in here, I wouldn't have cheated. But then the wife would have probably killed me, thinking I was doing work on vacation....

Now that I'm pretty well into maintenance, I don't relate as well to the "goal" and "stall" threads as I used to! However, I know the value of a support group to sustaining a lifestyle, and I'll always be hanging around LCE to a certain extent. I'm really grateful for all the advice and encouragement I've found here.
