Well some how miraculously I have dropped 2 more lbs. Don't know how, but it happened...maybe it was all the raisin bran I have eaten....man that stuff really makes me go to the bathroom...
Congrats to all the losers this week! And for those of you who gained a little I'd like to say thank you - believe it or not you are an inspiration to me because you don't let the gains de-rail you in your weight loss journey and it gives me hope that I will have the strength to move forward when I hit a small weight gain.
I lost 4.4 lbs. this week - total lost in 2004 is 21.2
I agree Melsfolly - it IS an inspiration that you ladies post when you gain, rather than just hide away.
Dawn, I'm so sorry about your friend. That's a heartbreak.
I'm down 3 1/2 pounds! Atkins is magic for my body. I also rejoined OA, which I'm not sure I mentioned to you guys. It's really helping.
Congrats to all the losers! Please don't rob yourself of the joy of losing 1/2 a pound, or whatever amount you think is small. When you're on a plateau, or gain water weight, you'll be wishing for even a small loss! Every tiny bit is a step in the right direction!
i'm up .2 this week. and i'm actually excited about it!! i ate a barnyard's worth of buffalo chicken last saturday so i was sure i would have a 2 or 3 pound gain. so now i'm at 20 lbs gone even. but i've done REALLY good the last few days. i did go over a little today but i'm allowing myself friday's to be a little naughty. i'm feeling really motivated now so i know i can handle this!!! oh and today i passed up on offer for Mcdonalds!!!! one big step.....no that's not right.... one GIANT leap for me-kind!!!!!!
Congrats to everyone who's had a good week, to everyone who's not had a good week but not suffered too much damage on the scale and especially to those who've had a bad week and gained but REFUSE to give up or give in - you go girls (and boys)!!
As for me, down .4 this week...sigh, I figure I lose more than that after a bowl of bran flakes, but I'll take it. So my contribution to the "annual ton" now stands at 3.2lbs. Tis odd, my friend just gave birth (prematurely) to a baby that size (luckily the docs say he's strong and they're confident he'll be just fine.) As I looked at him through the hospital glass, I first thanked God he's okay, then I thought how tiny he looked and then I thought ...hmmm, you know that's a sizable hunk of fat off my body - am I warped for thinking that, OR WHAT??
Your not warped for thinking that!!!!!!! Just don't don't say that to your friend...lol.
Geeze, compared to my 11.5 pound preemie (37 weeker) I would really not know what to do with a 3.2 pounder. I swear, Aidan's head alone probably weighed more than that baby!!!!! Thank God for these little angel miracles.....!
