My 9yr old ds took me to the movies last nite (translation-he wanted to see cloudy with a chance of meatballs SOOO bad he was willing to spend his money for the tickets. hehe). I bought his popcon. Actually it was a kids pack with just the little space for popcorn. I got NONE! I was doing just great without it. I was feeling so good. And then I caved. Didn't even finish one "bowl" 'cause it was so darn saltly, but I am feeling the sodium in my fingers and toes..:corn: I'm gonna have to hit the H2O hard today...I want a drop!!! :tantrum:

Lori (i forget the numbers hehe sorry!) Love the hat! I hear ya on the daughters close thing...a few years ago I would have never thought that we could where anything the same..she now raids MY clothest..huh?! lol Not my pants-i am only 5'4" and she is 5'7"...but my shirts and some of my fav comfy sweat pants she had completely taken over...oh well..it could be worse-rite?

Congrats on the win!!!!!!!

Congrats, Slyv! :cheer: :cheer:

I went to post in the other thread this morning, grumbling under my breath about how I wished someone would win this dang challenge already and #79 would be over since it's kicking my butt... and hey presto! Someone HAD won! Prayers answered! Onward and upward, right?!

Great job. I just had a feeling we would be starting a new thread this am. And that is ok.

SW 253.4

GW 248.4

The good news is, with each of these challenges my goal weight number keeps getting smaller!! So whether I win or not, I keep succeeding!!!

Best wishes to you all today. Have a great one!!!

Thanx so much ladies...I'm tickled pink!!

Plainsgirl - :bravo: on not finishing the whole bowl and for not buying more popcorn because those were too salty! Small victories count, right!

Big Sexy - That is good! I think any negative # is terrific.

Ms Perception - I am over the moon! I had my head and heart set at getting to 299 at my WI, so to reach 295 floored me! :faint:

Fressca - You're so funny!

Jellofer2 - I agree with you...it's not the winning, it's the succeeding and hitting you own personal goals.

Here to another chance of this,,

I'm down 1.2 since yesterday. Yay!

I didn't even get a chance to join the last challenge! We went on vacation (it was awesome!) so I am up a little. I've lost a pound of what I gained, hopefully the rest will come off soon.

I'm with ya mothermavis- if I don't see 14_ anything on the scale soon-i might just kill someone!!! :mad:

side note-why is it that every time i weigh in the day after a run-i gain? Not a big one, just enough to not be a loss...I know i need to keep at it, and sooner or later I will start to see a loss...i already drink a bunch of water..maybe more-and more consistantly :^: is the answer?

SW: 232.4
CW: 231.8 (-0.6)
GW: 227.4

I want the 220s again!! I got there a month ago and haven't stayed...

Salty, slightly off-plan supper sent me up a bit, so nothing worth reporting here. I'll weigh tomorrow and report.

plainsgirl-Try to drink more consistently throughout the day and get (at the VERY least) 75 oz of water. I don't get a gain at all after I run, so I'm not sure why it's happening for you, but everybody's bodies react differently to things. Just keep up the good work and it'll all fall into place.

theresia-I really like your 30Day Shred goal symbols...very clever!

Still the same this morning, which I'm pretty surprised about being I ate Taco Bell last night for supper!

Nothing like clothes shopping to dampen the old appetite. After seeing my tummy in the mirror it was easy to skip the goodies during the grocery shopping that followed. I bought jeans in two sizes today in the hopes I will need the smaller size in the not to distant future. (They were really marked down.)

You guys are doing great...any weight loss is cool! I weigh myself everyday at home (just to see where i'm at) but I really only go on my official WW WI. I will post my results Wednesday night.

Well...here's the weekend damage. I really have to learn to deal with weekends.

GW: 141.6

Thanks, Lori! You're too sweet! But, NOW the official 10 pound countdown begins. I had to lose that silly .2 to get to my '10 pounds to goal' mark. I'm amazed to get this close, but still have to remind myself I'm not there yet and even when I get there, I'm not sure I'll be "done". I read a couple things that have shown my ideal weight range is 123-127. I just don't want to change my goal until I get there and see how I feel about it then, ya know?

Hurrah!!!

SW 253.4
CW 251.8
GW 248.4

Ok so that's -1.6. 240's here I come!!!! Another new decade. You all were right. I kept pretty close to plan. The scale ticked up. Was 255.0 yesterday am and today 251.8. Whoosh!!!!!

After my MD appointment on Friday I have some great news. I have dropped from a BMI at 40 to 35. I have moved out of the extremely obese category into obese. I am 1 full pound away from my first 10%. so even with the up tick I was still feeling pretty good. I wanted to thank you all for being honest and posting your triumphs and your struggles. This is probably the best place for me to be.

I also decided that if I never win a challenge that is ok. Because everyone that I join, my GW keeps getting lower.

Have a great day all. I am off to spend some time with Bob harper doing his weightloss yoga!!!

WAY TO GO JELLOFER!


Ms. Perception~ I know what ya mean~I may go further than 150 when I get there...I will have to see also.
I keep having the number 138 pop into my head.
But I am already wearing 9/10 In sizes and 150 might do me well.
I actually have one pair of size 8 jeans Bootcut stretch that fits me great.
So I may be a good suitable size that I approve of when I reach goal But we will never know to we get there.
I do know in your avatar pic YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!

Great job, Jellofer! I'm proud of you for sticking with it 'til the scale cooperated! Thia IS a great place to be. We all need to know we're not alone in this and that others can help us with questions, challenges, etc.
So, tell me what you think of Bob's Weightloss Yoga. I've been curious about it.
Lori-Yeah. I think clothing size can help determine what's a "right" time to stop losing. We all carry our weight differently. 2 ladies could be the same height, the same size jeans but have very different weights. I guess I'm just thinking out loud (or typing, rather...LOL).

Don't feel well just going to post and run today...Everyone is doing wonderful :)

Losing for another Hope that you are feeling better soon. My husband has been very sick for the past 5 days and is just starting to be his self. Sort of.

MsPerception I love Bob's video!!! He kicks your butt. It is set up nicely with an opportunity to use it in your plan. You can pick from a couple of workouts. They recommend 4-5 times per week, but MyDH and I do it 3 times per week. I am also doing C25K. I still do level one, but have started to add level three. After the first couple of times through you don't hardly watch him anymore. I can't do it full out yet, but I have noticed an improvement. They also have modifications on there if you need them. He is motivating and is tough. I highly recommend it. We are planning on getting the Boot camp DVD that they recommend with it and then the biggest loser game for the wii. I have Jillians 30 day shredd and plan on starting that mid october. I think I will be ready for it then. Too heavy to do it . I struggle to much and really don't get a good work out yet. She is another one that will kick your butt!!!

Best of luck with them both.

ya, gettn the whooshs' to stick is the hard part. :dizzy: I am having a hard time getn on the scale every day. When I first started my weight loss journey 2 1/2 years ago I only got on it once a week. Only when I hit my "goal" last year did I start steppin on every day. I LOVED seeing the low numbers...now..it just frustraights me..but im with everyone else..if my goal weight is lower evertime one of the challenges start, half the battle is over-right?!

Have a great day chickies!!
today is yoga in the am and weights in the pm...

This is a tough 5 pounds to drop. I was sort of off plan the past couple days. To many nuts and sneaky carbs, still no bread or taters, but sneaky carbs. The ones that are in my protein snacks and drinks. Wasn't feeling great yesterday. Thought that I was getting my DH cold. Stayed home from class today and slept in. Felt good. Feeling better, but TOM is lurking.

Only prob here is that my on year anniversary with my bf is on sunday :love: and he is taking me out to dinner on Saturday...I want to enjoy myself, but I also don't want to blow it. :rolleyes: Sunday is also the one year anniversary of my first 5K...I plan on doing that by myself that morning just a "I can still do it" kind of thing.

Ruth135 you are on your way to that new decade,. I can see it. Keep up the great work......

Plainsgirl enjoy your 5K anniversary. Happy Anniversary to you.

I am feeling something happening here. Got on the scale this am and was 252.4 again. now after 12 + hours of work and eating right on plan it is down to 252.0 Is there a whoosh in my future. Stay tuned for an am update before work in the morning. This past week has been tough. But, I have eaten more nuts then I might should have and a little extra protein. But, I have also upped my exercise also. Skinny body would be good, but tight toned body is the goal.

Have a great night to all my chicks!!!!

I had to get on the scale three times this morning just to prove to myself that it was true! :D

I'll go start Thread # 81 - see you all over there!
