I'm looking forward to my WI this afternoon. I "think" it should get me in the 25 left to lose club. This weekend on my Costco trip I bought a pair of black Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jeans - the ones with a little stretch in them to flatter (ha ha) my chunky areas. I'm keeping them even though there seems to be a lot of loose fabric just south of my bum!!! Look great from the front and sides. So if I need a pair of dress up jeans, these are it! (this is about as dressy as it gets in this burg). When this size gets too big I'll know I can almost fit in the sleeveless dress I wore to my son's graduation in 2011. I'm looking forward to that too!
My range per the clinic is 117-139. Currently at 130! Gonna go for 120. The husband still has about 30 pounds. We are phasing of Nov 1st to go through the steps correctly, then honeymoon in December!
I feel frustrated with the final 12 lb. - totally OP and marginally losing... i know don't complain, however it is difficult to deal with having a date in your head ( for a real breakfast) and keep dleaying.... i have learned alot in these 8 weeks, ( and for those of you doing this for 50 or 70 weeks WOW ) Well I will keep plugging.......Cheers all
Good afternoon! My WI showed a 1.6 lb loss. It must of happend overnight, because yesterday I had a 0 loss for the week! So needless to say...very happy with the 1.6.
Mandi - only 10 to go...you'll be there before you know it!
Lizzy - Nice loss, & welcome to the club!
Paulfromport - I think that as we get closer to our goal, our losses will become smaller. How about those inches lost, though? I bet you are losing inches! :-)
I have adjusted my goal weight several times. Right now I'm shooting for another 7 pounds to 140 which will take me over 100 pounds lost! That seems like something to brag about! Then I will have a bit of a float between 140 and 150. I am a solid size 14 right now, with a few size 16s and 12s depending on the brand. I feel really good at this weight.
I was thrilled recently to buy a couple of dresses for special occasions! I had not worn a dress in years because I hated the way I looked.
It has been a bit difficult to stay motivated to lose these last few pounds. I feel so good right now that sometimes I feel like I should just let that goal go and be happy with where I'm at. But another part of me would just like to get there, even if it's slow going. Soooo, I'm in!

You are inspiring, losing a 100, keep going, you are almost at the finish line.
As of today I am in the 25 to go club as well. I started with 42 so I am not even half way...but I want it!
My goal is the weight I was in college. Today I saw a number I hadn't seen in a couple years when I used to live at about that range so that is a plus for me!
I might be re-goaling. I am within 11-13 lbs of my goal weight which is what I think I weighed in about 1990. I've been thinking of maybe going/trying 10 beyond that. That would be a weight I haven't seen since the early 80's. I weighed 117 when I got married in 1982 and 107 when I graduated high school in 1973. I think those two weights are toooooooo skinny for my "mature" frame.
I have 20.5 lbs to go, still feels like its all in my belly and boobs, so I am willing to stick this out, just to not look like Im in my second trimester!!
Hoping to be on my way out by Christmas, but I'm not going to put timelines on this...cuz at my 0.5 loss this week I could be here for another 40 weeks!
Don't take that the wrong way...I am super happy it's going down, even at 1/2 lb a week, cuz the opposite would be 20 more pounds to lose in under a years time.
Hi, everyone. I am so glad to have found this thread! I have 16 lbs to go to reach my goal - 5 pounds more than what my coach set, but I am set on reaching my goal!
