Hi everyone!! It seems that everyone is really losing!! I WI today and lost 1 pound. I have to say that I was disappointed as I didn't lose anything at Tuesday's WI. I have pretty consistently done cheese and bread for breakfast - not a realy big breakfast eater so she should I should switch it up because cheese has high fat content. I'll try that!
Ok on to tell you about wi today! I am down 3.5 pounds!!!! Deb there is hope for us up there on that plateau. Better than that, they ran a deal so that with each pound lost you get a week added to your program, so they gave me 4 weeks! Happy Dance time!!!!
I am sooooo excited to see the scale move!
Best of luck to everyone. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day
Congrats Feelinbetter! I am so excited for you! I am on week 2 of stabilization and I have lost 46.5 since the end of Sept. I am enjoying getting a few foods back that I haven't had, but still struggling with temptation. I don't ever eat anything that I shouldn't but the alcohol thing gets me and has gotten me the whole time. Our social life centers around that on the weekends... I know, I need a new hobby. Anyway, I have managed to lose, but I am worried about putting it back on. I have to do a lot of self talk to keep myself on track.
JewlieK: Love the "secret weapon" comment! That is great!

One of my favorites is 2 eggs (either boiled or scrambled) with the single slice of 40 cal wheat toast. I'm always running late so I've discovered the awesomeness of mixing the eggs up in a bowl and popping them in the microwave for about a minute and 30 seconds. They come out almost perfectly round and fit nicely right on top of my single slice of toast. I usually eat it in the car. While those are "cooking", I choke down my pills.

Thanks for the great advice - I really do believe that my issue with breakfast is time. I will try your method!!
I have been reading everyone's posts for the last couple of days, and you all are doing FANTASTIC!!! I am proud of this group. The inspiration that just flows through is so awesome. Thank you to all of you.
I WI today and only lost 1.5 lbs., but I know I'm losing inches. I have been trying to use the advice of some of you regarding the scale....not to live by the scale but by the way my clothes feel.
feelinbetter- Congratulations!! You should be so excited, you are so close. Your starting weight and goal is only 3 lbs. off from mine and I cannot wait to be where you are now. Size 8 is Great!! I am in a 14 right now that are getting a little baggy. When I started I definately had the muffin top.
I have 51 lbs. to lose on my contract and they only gave me 17 weeks. I hope I can make it. I guess I will have to be super strict to make it. I have been staying OP so hopefully it can be done. That comes to 3 lbs per week and I have only been averaging 2.5.
Christy;
We did have similar starting weights and goals. I remember when I signed up I kinda thought the counselor was taking me for 23 weeks and that I only needed 17 - I am glad she gave me 23 because it took that - and I'd have had to resign. But, you are staying OP (I wasn't 100% faithful - no major slips but a some minor ones and not much exercise), and if you exercise I bet you make it 17! You also look younger than me - I'm 46, so youth will be on your side too! Good luck and I'm going to keep my eye on your posts!

I am understanding that alcohol thing - I drink only 2 times each year, when I go out with college friends, but one of those will be the day after my stabilization party - I realize it isn't a great reward and will set me back, but at least it is a celebration!
