Oh how I hate the ending of a 3 day weekend... ahhhhh... I just got the stress outta my shoulders. I planted my Alamanda's and swept then bleached my screen porch floor... Visited my parents house and took care of the cats and BBQ dinner for the week and now catching up on things... I still need to trim my trees..... but it was just to darn hot and humid (we had some nasty thunderstorms this afternoon. But I was at 243 this morning. I have not cheated all day... I do need to walk some more to get my 7000 steps in .. (right now I am at 5900). I am hoping for a good scale reading tomorrow.. (tho my Bratwurst was SALTY!)

I hope that everyone did have a very nice holiday and enjoyed family and friends (mine are all gone - moved or vacationing) but I have myself today and I had fun! LOLOLOL

Good day ladies! Well a Labour Day long weekend of eating everything in sight has sent me up to 248.2...so not cool. Why do we do that to ourselves?

Anyway, now I need to lose again just to get down to last week's weight and hopefully I don't stop there. I miss the lower end of the 240's...come back to me!

Hi ladies! I had a great holiday weekend. No cheating (squeeeeeeeee!) That's the biggest accomplishment that I could have had. Even at our pot luck, I did very well. I have ended up eating right at or 100 cals over my calorie allowance, but since I don't normally hit my limit I think it'll even out. I was at 247.0 today. Really wanting to see 245! I measured yesterday morning and I've lost 25.5 inches between my thigh, hips, waist, chest, and upper arm. I'll take it!

I made a healthy potato and cauliflower soup tonight. It was SOOOO good!

I'm going to start lifting light weights tonight so I'm not just doing cardio everyday. Happy Tuesday!

[Only Believe]

Knock Knock... guess who?????? It's the woman who saw 248.8 on the scale this morning!!! It may not stick because it was a 2.4 drop from yesterday's weigh in, but I'm going to take it and try to hang on for dear life. LOL

[mjmelwel]

Nagazim way to be such a good girl over the weekend!

Only Believe So happy to see you joining! Congrats on the weight loss and I really hope it sticks!

Last night I decided to try The Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss video. I do yoga a couple times a week generally and love it...well man that video made me feel weak! They changed my yoga class and it's too late for me so now I have to do my yoga at home and it was really challenging. I was down nearly 3 pounds on the scale this morning so I guess that takes care of my weekend weight.

Right now I'm also doing a cleanse called "CleanseSmart" by Renew Life. It's a really good one and I don't find it too intense. Hopefully that will help jump start some changes. Along with that I started juicing some of these garden veggies of mine!

Have a great day ladies!

Weighed in this morning to....

240.0

>:| It couldn't give me just one measly .2 less?????

[Nagazim]

Hi girls! Congrats MJ and Panda on your losses! Panda you're so close to being outta here!!

I made it to 246.0 this morning. My scale will usually give me 3 different weights all in the same 2 lb range and it's annoying. I'm trying to only weigh once. It's hard to not "make sure" though.

I'm going to start swapping around my cardio where I'll do the treadmill some days and Leslie Sanson DVD others. I need the variety. Dh declared today he's gonna start his weight lifting again. This makes me pretty happy since I love his muscles. He's not over weight just got lazy with lifting. Since we're all clean eating, hes dropped extra weight unintentionally.

I've set myself a couple goals. I want to be 229 by Halloween and strive for 199 by New Years. The onederland goal will require a miracle but I'm gonna try anyways!

ETA: I somehow missed ONLYBELIEVE being here!!! Wow! You're flying through these threads! I wanna sit extra close to you so you can take me with you on your way out! Way to go!

[belovedspirit]

I'd like to peek in and join you ladies in this this thread! I hope to only be here for a brief time, but it's great to be able to call this thread home for now!

[mjmelwel]

Way to go belovedspirit!! It's so awesome to see new people in here! Here's to a quick pass through for ya!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

HELLO ONLYBELIEVE and BELOVED! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy You all got here!.. So happy to see you both too! and so very happy to have you both in the 240's - Tho NOT for long as we are all going to head into the 230-220's and overwhelm them there.. ( My journey is really taking a long time this time and I had hoped a single decade woulda been faster.... Not for me - But you both will fly by me! ) Oh so happy to have you both here!

[belovedspirit]

Thank you so much for the warm welcomes, mjmelwel and Sue!

Sue, you are doing so well! I remember us in the 280s/270s thread, and now look at how far you have come! It's amazing!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you see a woosh soon. In the meantime, have faith and keep up the awesome effort; it WILL happen!

[Only Believe]

Thanks girls. I sure hope I can stay. I gotta go shopping soon, most of my things are getting way too big

[Only Believe]

247 this morning. Those numbers seem unreal. I was just reflecting back and I was 293.6 when I first posted back in the getting out of the 290's thread on May 29th. (295 was my start weight a few days before)
I'm keeping the denim skirt I wore that started it all.. I had went out to eat with hubby and I remember thinking that my skirt was getting too tight and it was one of the bigger things I had. If I gained any more I'd have to go buy new clothes. I was miserable that meal out and the next day was the start of my journey to lose. I put that skirt on the other day to show my hubby how big it had gotten on me. It looks huge on me now LOL I've lost 48 lbs and have exactly that much to go to reach onederland. I can do it again! Onederland is not some far off place in my mind any more. I just gotta do what I've already done, one more time!
If you haven't done so already, go back and check out some of your first postings. It feels great to see how far I've come... To onderland I go...

[pandathedestroyer]

239.8 as of this morning!!!!!!

This is the lowest I've been since I quit smoking almost a year ago! OMG.

Gonna give it one more day to make sure I'm actually down to this weight and then I'm gonna move my butt over to the 230's thread.

[Only Believe]

Pandathedestroyer it looks like your moving out just as I'm moving in. I hope those numbers keep falling for you and you get out of those 230's quickly. Congrats!
