JRP... GOOD for you and yes you have 5 weeks to get to your goal.. I really think you can!!!

LashOrty.... yep... anything with artificial sweetners hurt alittle... I would say to not drink too many Diet Sodas a day... Drink more water... That really does help!!

[Lulu NH]

Thanks for the kind words Wannaskipandlaugh Struggling today - retaining water and don't want to report a crappy number......but I am still checking in - not quite enjoying the journey but know I don't want to go back to 24W jeans...for real!!

JRP - Nice loss!! You will reach your goal!!

Lash0rty - About diet soda.....less is more!! I agree with increasing water!!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

Not happy today...... gained 2 lbs.. and not posting... I hope it goes away... I am sorry Lulu... maybe you and I caught the same "bug" of a scale reading Just alittle discouraged.... I know its just water but I was hoping for a better week after last week. But saving grace is my measuring tomorrow (I do it everymonth on the 5th from when I started in January)... I already know that I am down more inches.... So that in itself helps the mind!!!!

Wishing all a very nice and pleasant day!

News Flash: Pity Party Over!! - Big girl pants are on!!! 1st horrible day in a long time yesterday but I really should have owned it - just like the rest of the journey. Reporting 195 today and still feeling super bloated....time to keep marching downward!!

Thankful for the support of this forum - It helps me to stay on track - I WANT 150 and maintenance!! Eyes on the prize!!!

My underwear is baggier today... so I KNOW I am loosing LOLOLOL Just wish the scale would show it..


HOPE everyone has a good day and a good weigh in today!

[Lulu NH]

1.9.5. still very bloated and rumbly - c'est la vie!! Week 21 almost complete!!

WannaskipandlaughWoo Hoo for you!!!!! Can't wait to be able to tell you I'm making progress again too!!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

Oh Lulu you will make progress... Its been a week now.. So I am thinking that Saturday night - Sunday morning your scale will be DOWN!!!! That's my statement for the world to hear... and I am going to be 258 by Sunday... I am stating that too and telling my dear ole (excuse me for being new agey here) Guardian Spirits to help me shut my mouth and eat on plan and MOVE.. LOLOLOL They do whisper very loud... except I must ignore it sometimes

[Lulu NH]

Scale is not moving.....but I am going to gain 8 plus pounds today - my new nephew is being delivered this morning!!!! Happy Friday!!!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

OH wow... a new baby? You are going to be an Aunt? That is just wonderful... I think the Happy Fairy is going to bless you! Oh I hope that the delivery is easy peasy. Congratulations Lulu

I also have to appologize 2 days ago I was rushed and I had thought that your post said you had finally lost and I saw that you had gained.. and I congratulated you... I am a dufus head... I am so sorry.... BUT that means that the woosh fairy will visit you!!!

Oh hugs of joy for you and your family today tho... Very sweet and I am very happy for you!!!!

[Lulu NH]

Wannaskipandlaugh No need to apologize - just think I am having a rough couple of weeks again before I start making progress again. Probably have to make some adjustments to lose the next 5-7 pounds and get out of the 190s. Still hanging out at 195...which is better than where I started.

In my life - today my oldest graduates high school!!! and there will probably be water works all day!!! ((I'm a cryer!!! Sometimes I can't believe that this fat girl with glasses gets to experience so many wonderful things!!)) yesterday my nephew was born 8 lbs 9 oz 21 inches!! tomorrow - I start a road trip with my mom to visit the new baby - on vacation until the 18th - so limited weighing after today until the 18th. My sister hasn't seen me since March - so she will notice the change I have made!!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

oH LULU... Tears of JOY are always wonderful.. Those are the golden tears !!!! Such wonderful and awesome things in your life right now. How wonderful it is and I bet you are bursting with JOY! A HS graduate, a new gift of a nephew, and a trip to see him with your mom (alone time and time to talk which is ALWAYS Nice) Oh you are having such a glorious time in your life right now... I feel some of the joy here from you too!

I am stilled stalled too LOLOLOL 260 is my hurdle this time around hanging around here for 2 weeks and that is crazy nuts... but I will get over it and just feel like I am in the 250's YEP that is my motis opporendi! lol

Enjoy today and hug it like its gold! (It is!)

[wannaskipandlaugh]

SIGH and grunt growl gasp and ARGH... STILL 260 I have been hovering over this number for almost 2 weeks (besides the 2 lb uptick in the middle) REALLY??? What, Who and How many things, people etc do I need to pray to, bow to, grumble too to get a DOWNWARD Movement LOLOLOL Just myself Yep.. Told myself in the mirror this morning (after getting over Elvis loss) that I NEED TO DO IT! lol oh gotta love ourselves dont we?

[nonamortica]

Well I have no idea what happened, but I am up to 165 this week. I cannot account for this at all as far as my eating has gone. The only thing I did differently was to have a few gluten free crackers with my tuna salad on Saturday. I was hoping to be down farther but to no avail.

Losing with thyroid disease can be so frustrating. You can do everything right and still not lose.

Will persevere and hope for better luck next week.

[happierme88]

Im up this weekend to 203.5. Completely my fault tho...I fell off the Atkins wagon and into a pizza. I ate very well today and hopefully wont fall off again in the next week because Id really like to hit wonderland by next weekend!

Nonamortica, hypothyroid is such a pain! My mom has it and has struggled too. I hope the scale moves for you over the next week!

Lulu, congrats on the new nephew and your sons graduation! How exciting!!

Sue, I posted a longer message in the 5 lb challenge page, but stay strong and show the P___ who's boss!
