Hi everyone
I turned 50 a few months ago. I need to lose about 30-35 lbs but I'm starting with focusing on a 20lb loss.
My starting weight was 156- my highest weight ever. I'm currently 149.6.
I haven't changed my ticker to reflect my higher weight because my September goal is to be 143 point something!

Welcome to the challenge InATizzy. I think I recognize you from the 140 thread. This is a great group. We weigh-in on Saturdays but check in during the week too. Congrats on the weight you've already lost. I'm concentrating five pound increments.

Start 1/20 @223.1# & Target = 198.1
Aug 10 = 209.1 = -14
8/17 = 208.7 = -14.4
8/23 = 208.3 = -14.8
8/29 = 207.9 = -15.2
September 6 = 207.5 = -15.7

InATizzy - Welcome to the group! And welcome to your new life being a 50 year old. Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I thought I was going to be below 149 today but I wasn't. I really feel lighter! Lol. I can feel my stomach shrinking.
No plans for today. I was so busy yesterday, that I might just watch tv all day today.

[Corinna T]

Today was a good day overall. Willpower still in tact. Yeah! I hope it continues.

Sitting around doing nothing but watching TV sounds like a wonderful break. Only I would be so tempted to eat lots of food at the same time. Here is something I do to help me during those periods when I am watching TV. I put a pair of 3lb dumbbells on the coffee table just to urge me to do something different with my hands when I think I need food. They can be fun to lift during commercials. That keeps me from running to the kitchen for treats most of the time.

Hi everyone! - Missed weigh-in on Saturday but weighed this morning and am down 1 lb.

Inatizzy

Corinna - Good trick with the dumbells, I will have to try that (if I ever get the chance to sit and watch TV again!)

Renee - Staying the same is OK - Onward from here

Lizzie - I was up and down all week too, and I also will take my 1 lb

It has been a rough week for me. My emotions are all over the place and that makes it hard to focus on the important stuff. I was on 5 days off at work and I was running around trying to get everything done for me and everyone else, and feeling pulled in 4 directions at once.
I think I just need to slow down and breathe once in a while.

I am wishing a good week for everyone!

[Corinna T]

Good job Jude!!! Congratulations.

Recall the things that have held you back. And imagine how you now can get beyond them.

Think of the problems that have frustrated you so. And imagine how you can now rise above them.

Look at how far you've come. And imagine how far you can now go.

Think of all that you've learned. And imagine what you can now do with that knowledge.

Consider all you've done in the past year. And imagine what you'll now be able to do.

You're now in a better position than ever to imagine the very best. And what you can imagine will lead to what you can be.
