My positive thought of the day:

I did a full circuit of physical therapy this morning and then took the dog for a mile walk. So far I'm 100% on plan for food.

Good on you!! One day at a time :)

Hello NightKatt and everyone else!

Gosh I love this thread and NightKatt you are so wonderful to post... I love reading them!... My only thought of the day (when those Chocolate bars call you... etc) Remember... Anything you crave right now.. well ..... it will also be there tomorrow and if you really want it then you can have it tomorrow.. Its funny how the thought then just goes away and after awhile it just stops all together! :)

Love your pets and their names :)

I have 5 cats...
Sammie (named after that banned Sammy Sosa - Chicago Cubs) 12 years old Ti grrrrr and (he thinks) king of the house
DeeDee (12) (named after a best friend of mine) Torti shell and the grand dam of the family
Stephie (fka Daisy) (10) My sister (who passed in 2005) found this pregnant tuxedo cat on the streets and took her in and gave her to me before birth. I changed her name to my sister's name so that I speak my sisters name everyday.
TomTom (9) Stephie's long silky haired tiger son (and skinny as all get out) and talks to me constantly..
Trouble (9) Stephie's Long silky haired black daughter (with white belly button) who loves me and licks me all the time.

I am blessed as I have had cats all my adult life.. some have had kidney problems (my precious Mickapoos lost both kidneys when he was 4) and most of my babies lived to be 20+ (love mutts) as they are all my real children ( I have no human children)...

I don't know how I would deal with life, without them. It is so funny how each animal has their own personallity too .. :)


ANYWHO... NightKatt you are my Treat for the day and I love your picks.. You sure do look like someone I would love to be friends with and you ARE PRETTY!!!! All of you are awesome people! Just Awesome!

Have a great rest of the day!!

This will be a challenge week since I am eating out for three days...I will be as good as I can... :^:

:welcome3: Mara

My positive thought for today: I am attaining and maintaining my ideal weight.

I might have a current picture after my trip this week. At least I have heard threats of picture taking!!:mad:

I will have to join the measurement spreadsheet after this week.

Better late than never???:yes:

Can't believe it's almost September - I feel I just put by snow boots away!! :yikes:

I am going to "up" my exercise time next week. :tread::wl:

Nightkatt: off to have some more tuna!!!! :)

Wannaskipandlaugh - cripes have you got a shorter name?? lol .. you are lovely too thank you so much for the nice words. Im not sure about the pretty .. my sister got the looks, I got the brains, personality and sense of humour lol .. just kidding .. no personality hehehe. Please dont think I am putting myself down .. I have just never considered whether I am pretty or anything like that .. to me everyone has something about them that is "pretty", sometimes its not something you see though. I LOVE your thought about the cravings .. that is fantastic .. and definitely one I will remember and share :) Ive only had 4 cats in my life .. Silky was my brothers cat when we were kids (pure black), Tammy must have been part maine coon cos she was a HUGE long haired marmalade baby (who loved to go for a ride in the car - had to remember to check it if I left the door open!), then later on I fostered a few (Rosie, Brainy, Sherlock, Stormer) until I finally caved in and got 2 more. Blackjack reminded me of Silky in appearance but unfortunately he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and met a car. Mayday was one my daughter bought home barely fitting in my hand, he had been abandoned with his siblings, so I took all of them to the vets and he said Mayday wouldnt survive (he was the runt)... he is now a BIG ball of ginger fur which my daughter and her kids drag everywhere still lol.
Im not sure if its strange for animals to have so many different personalities ... I think a lot of spirits like to come back for a visit sometimes and pets are the best way they can be safe and show their personalities. My dad dog Buddy (son to Baer & Pepa) has a personality just like my late nephew, funny, full of life and determined.

Isles - Wahoo! 1.4!! Thats brilliant :) Im sure you are up for the challenge this week, just enjoy yourself and don't think too hard about each choice, just accept the choices you make. Have a great time .. and Im looking forward to seeing a piccy :) At least it will look like you are having fun Im sure .. mine is just ..... eh .. nevermind lol .

Isles - It always makes me giggle when I read of snow boots coming out and yesterday we were sitting outside enjoying the sunshine, our spring is hitting, the calves are being born on my sisters farm, daffodils are blooming ... and you are talking about snow boots lol .. measurements any time will be fine .. the date at the top of my chart will be last Saturdays, but Im sure that is close enough. Im being bad about exercise ... while I am getting my metabolism adjusting to the new eating regime Im not really doing anything exercise wise .. but as soon as the weight loss slows Im gonna kick start it properly, rather than 1-2 times a week as I am doing at the moment.

So today has again started of slow ... but I have done my weigh in ....
TARGET - 53 pounds

WEEK 1 - 12/8 - 317.3 lb Difference - 0 START
WEEK 2 - 19/8 - 312.4 lb Difference = -4.9 Total loss = 4.9

WEEK 18 - 09/12 -

Very happy with that result .. had to get on the scales 3 times to make sure I was reading it right lol. Over 1/5 of the way to my goal! I know its going to slow, but Im going to enjoy every loss regardless of how big or small .. and I know when the aunt arrives it will go back up, but as long as its coming off I will be happy :)

Wow! Great losses Nightkatt!

I skipped my official weigh in this week because I overslept and missed my medifast appointment (oops!). My unofficial weight today is down to 206.2! My fingers are crossed that it sticks!

Do you want me to enter that for this week then?? N thanks .. I am a little shocked actually .. I just hope that when I add in exercise it will be consistently good too lol

I'm in! I've lost 57 pounds, but now it's the homestretch and I'm slowing down. Time to start focusing on goal!
