Hellooooo
It is so great to come in and read everyones posts! : ) I know I said it before many times, but I can't stop saying it! It is so great that we all have each other here, I love it! It feels so good to be abe to come in an d share our stories and the road of our journey together! For me, it makes a world of difference! I am sooooo happy, what a beautiful team! Ladies, congratulations on the weight loss and on the inches lost too! That is so super!
It is so inspiring, I feel that we support and inspire one another and that is just so cool!
I had a super day! My mom had the day off and came over, we always have a great time together. It was a beautiful sunny hot day and we layed out in the sun together and then when dh came home we all went for a walk. After, we came back and t hose g uys went in the screen porch on the deck (we put it up this past weekend) and I served them grapes, crackers and cheese. I held off as I was busy in the kitchen cooking dinner. You know, it rai ned quite heavy at one point and we c ould of cared less because we were sheltered in the screen house. I made broiled haddock, string beans, greek salad, and baked potatoes (except no potato for me). A nice healthy dinner! It was so much fun and I actually just sat down now a few minutes ago. I was busy going in and out and making trips back and forth and I love that!!!!!!!! what a great day! okay, ill stop now, hahahaha
sorry, I know i tend to ramble sometimes!
To top off a great day, I come in here now and read these great stories! how nice! I feel like we are all kicking butt in one way or another and then some........and also sticking together which is just so great! It is so inspiring to read of your losses and not only......but of the determination, etc. right on!
and you know? we still have another 2 weeks and then some! Nosnah, what you said about the SUN, etc. holds so true for me! It makes me glow, I just love it! Everything is just so alive and vibrant this time of year!
water addict, that is super! congratulations on the loss
Lekhika, I think your doing great, really! You not only managed to maintain a large loss last week but go on to lose another 1/2 lb. and an inch off your waist! That's great : ) For me, typically when I have a good loss like that, the following week I maintain or have a smaller loss........I know we are all different but that's how it typically is for me. I see it as my body stabilizing the new weight. Keep up the great work
pigginpodgey, it is not at all unusal for me to gain 4-5lbs. of fluid during or right before TOM. I know that others are not affected the same way as our bodies vary and some woman only may gain 1 or 2, etc. For me, ugh! I typically put on fluids like crazy but have noticed since eating healthier I am not quite as bad as before. I still get bloated, just dont feel it as bad depending on what I am eating. I know it's hard seeing that gain .....even knowing its fluids,,, we just dont like to see that on the scale. Hang in there girl, keep in mind that staying on plan and just keeping with the program will have you losing that extra fluid in no time, and very possibly then some! I n the past, I would get so discouraged and hang my hat up during this time! but you know what? I found that just keep on going would yield a loss of the extra fluid and then a nice drop following that! so keep it up girl
THose dried fruits are loaded with sugar! Good for you for reading the nutritional labels......we live and learn! It shows your dedication and diligence to your plan! THey say the fresh fruit is best........my dh loves that dried stuff too! ANyhow girl, as all I can say is, bravo bravo bravo! Your dedication shows 100 percent! keep it rocking, dont let that stupid scale get you down! fight it! TOM can be a real bugger, keep going on plan and those extra fluids will come off.
mascara, way to go!
Hi to you too jasonslea, its nice having you here
Lytricia, I am the same way about the sun! It never ceases to amaze me how affected I am by it verus grey weather! So nice to hear your news, as always!
I am glad you had a nice mom's day. As for the popcorn, have you tried pop secret? THey have a light version and fat free version I beleive. It is very tasty and pops better than orville redenbecker, it is quite good and low in cals.....you may want to give it a whirl. It tastes good in and of itself so you need not add anything. When is your daughters graduation? congratulations Lytricia, to you and your daughter!!!
this is wonderful.
