eryn, thanks! You can imagine what a thrill it was to see that middle digit drop from a 6 to a 5! And serious weight loss while vacationing. Awesome! Great to see you! Delita

brseay! LOL too funny - I guess it is possible when your first meeting is at 7 and you get back to your room around mid-night and only eat two meals with no snacking. Thanks! Delita

Well done, Delita! How cool are you, a 40 pound ‘Healthy You’ award. I haven’t gotten back into the swing of things, no motivation, or shear laziness, not sure which. I guess since I haven’t gained back an ounce, I feel safe, but I’ve been there before too. Lost weight in the past and maintained that loss for years. It’s just not enough lost yet, I have a good 30 to go. Oh well!
Keep doing whatever you are doing, happy that you had a good time away.
Sandi

irisheyes - thanks so much! You know how this feels, kind of like stumbling forward. It does feel good to see those numbers drop! I am feeling better, etc. And you are such an encouragement!! Delita

Sandi, thanks. Know what you mean. Been there, done that. Keep reading diet blogs, etc. I’ve found it helps me to get motivated if I keep my eyes and ears on other people’s successes. Good to see you! Delita

Congratulations on your while-you-were-gone loss!! Woohoooo! I know you had long days without chances to eat between meals but you obviously didn’t use that as an excuse to overdo it when you could have!
.
Also, congrats on the 40-lb milestone! Excellent!!!

WooHoo indeed! Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t thought about it that way but you are right. I need to file that away under “remember on future trips.” Interestingly, I did have a couple *treats* (sprite, root beer, mocha, dark chocolate) but not even every day. Mostly, just made the best choice available at the place I was in. Hmmm… Wonder what would happen if I adopted that rule of thumb every day… =) Great to see you! Thanks - I do enjoy those milestones!

Great job DDDD!~! You are doing so good, I am redoing the jumpstart since I was feeling a little stagnant. this will get me revved up again!! LOL, Mel

Mel! So great to see you! I agree that the jumpstart should be perfect for that. I’m pretty much fully switched off the Flat Belly Diet now and mostly on Paleo (and very happy with it) but I still might apply some jumpstart days if I need to get re-energized at some point. Thanks for dropping in! Delita
