Good Morning

Candy~ Lots of thoughts and prayers for your son, what time on wednesday pls? I can only imagine what you are going thru, I wish you and your family all the best, and speedy recovery for your dear son.

Lilly~ Im curious....did you hit a "self sabotage" point in your weightloss? This seems to be my downfall. What did you do to get thru it?

Maggie~ great going on the 4lbs!!

Not much going on around here today. Its suppose to get quite warm today...so Im not sure what we are up to.

Have a good one ladies!

Good morning all. I'm thrilled to report that I lost 3 lbs this week. THat is a huge deal for me considering that I lost 4 lbs total in the 5 weeks prior!
I finally hit the 150's and am so happy! I have actually increased my carbs a bit this past week because after looking at my fitday they seemed pretty low. (11-15).
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice and pushed me into not giving up!
Sometimes, I guess, we all need a little of that.

Wow, 3 lbs. is fantastic in a week. Other than induction , the most I ever saw was 2 lbs. a week. I weighed again this morning and am holding steady at 145 which I am happy about. I am still eating the same, haven't went up yet on carbs. (the thought of going up scares me).
Robin, I felt like I was sabotaging myself in the last 15lbs. Not really eating off program but the weight was very slow to lose. Only 3-4 lbs. a month. I lost 8-10 lbs. a month the first 6 months. But, now I have read where a lot of people have a hard time losing that last weight, so maybe it wasn't self-sabotage. It was just my body's way of gearing up for maintenance.
I'm looking forward to a fun day at the lake today with my kids, the change of exercise will be good. Walked outside 30 min's last night.
Oh, forgot to tell you all that I had a wreck yesterday. I am fine and my big expedition is fine, the car I hit while backing out at WAlmart isn't too fine. Their door is smashed in and will need replaced. Great luck for me , it was a brother of a local police officer that I hit and My DH is a state trooper. I didn't get a ticket at the scene but DH said they may still mail me one. (the other occupants weren't injured either). It scared me to death, I thought at first that I'd hit a person. 46 yrs. old and my very first wreck.
I was a little upset this morning to see that my goal pic's are no longer up there in the goal section. I don't know where they went.

Maggie, I jumped for joy when I hit the 150's, it just seemed so much closer to goal. I bet you are so happy. Keep it up and it will come off.

hello everyone, sounds like everyone is doing good and staying op...Still trying to get the house in order.. its a tough job.. 5 of us and me the only one trying, just as soon as i get it done seems like i have to start over..I'm just going to make sure my kitchen is the cleanest and not worry so much about the rest..I will be at the hosp. with matt the whole time he's in there (about 10 days if all goes good) The hosp. is a 2 hour drive from where we live, so i guess whoever comes back and forth from the hosp. can worry about it...I'm not sure wednesday what time the surgery will be...I guess early that morning if all goes well with the embolization monday and the steriods tuesday to take down the swelling...The surgery will be about 7 Hrs..
I'm sure i will get my exersize walking the floor...
Thank you all so much for the prayers and thoughts good vibes!! ...
Just as soon as i can i will let you all know how he's doing...I dought i will leave his side the whole time...If everything goes great after a few days i might let someone else stay with him and come home for a night..I don't know..
I'm sure my eating will suck while i'm down there.. If i gain i'll work on that later when everything settles back down around here..
Good luck to all and i'll be back as soon as i can...
Candy
