Congratulations on the 20lb mark!! That's phenomenal! Way to go.

I feel like I'm sort of peetering out on the energy as of late....I wind up getting on the treadmill and pounding out a work out but feel very meh about it lately....I need to get on the ball again with that..the weight is not going to magically disappear and I have 4 more pounds to drop this month! Then...it's vacation time! Oh how I want to be close to 120 then!!

haven't been around for a few days soz. my birthday and the 2 days following were kinda heavy so i didn't have time to get anywhere near a comp. but i weighed in yesterday and was 143lbs which is great considering a few minor slip-ups at my b'day gathering (beer, chocolate cake and peanut butter straight out the jar don't mix well)

It's so difficult to stay focused sometimes. I feel so blah lately, I can't seem to really find a happy balance of food. I eat the regular amount and feel like I've eaten SO much. I always get all anal when I am working to losing weight and don't want to be like this because I know that when I do reach my goal it's likely that I'll start eating junk, first as a reward, then as normal intake and I so don't want to be that way anymore.

I know the power is with me, there's no magic pill, there's no miracle cure. Instead of sitting here, pounding this out on the keyboard, I should get up off my lazy behind and get moving. THAT is the ONLY way!

Good morning to you all ladies! Peace be with all of you!

1lb down this week! So that makes it 20lbs lost exactly. I really want to start loosing 2lbs a week again!

Things have been crazy it has been public holidays here etc, anyway weighed this morning and have managed to stay the same over the celebrations so im quite impressed!! Getting back into the gym thing today!!
Well done everyone on their loses!

things have been crazy and missed a few weigh posts. However I am glad to say that I am at 7.8 pounds lost so far so am hoping to reach my 10 pounds for the month goal.

last weigh in was 246.2 on 6/17/07. So at my last weigh in I was at 250.8 making a loss of 4.6 pounds. Thanks for all your help ladies!

Hi ladiessssssssssssss, good afternoon. HOw is everyone doing?

I was laid up a few days with TOM but feeling good again as of yesterday. I overate one of those days and indulged in my choc. craving. I weighed in yesterday and no loss but managed to maintain. I really didn't expect a loss as I have been eating things off plan and beleive I maintained by watching out in between or not going overboard when I do eat. So in a nutshell, I am happy I maintained (and vaca not over yet) but I really want to lose more. I have been doing a lot of thinking and basically a re-affirmation of my plans and what I need to do. This month has not been my typical as far as exercise and not as diligent with plan lately. True , I was not feeling well but now I have no excuse and I sooooo don't want to lose my momentum or start slacking and told myself to exercise every day. It always works for me that way as I make it a point to workout when I am well and then something always comes up, etc. and on those days i miss a workout. Yikes, I am rambling now! lol sorry ladies.

The end of July I have a big party to attend and then in august will be on vaca with dh for 2 weeks, so my goal is to lose a.m.a. p by this time. It's our anniversary this friday and we are planning a special dinner, though n ot sure of the details yet. ANyhow, 10 days left to the month ladies, keep it rockin. Everyone is doing so terrific , keep up the great work. As for me, I am concentrating on not overdoing it the rest of this week and then a major buckle down! How is everyone else doing?

sockmonkey, congratulationsssssss on the 20 lb. mark, that is fantastic girl! :carrot::carrot:

Lekhika, hi there. I think your doing great! You have been so diligent with your working out and plan and your really doing great, continue as you are and you'll get to that point you wish. I know it can be frustrating sometime (esp. for me lately as i have halted a bit but yeap, it wont magically disapper as you said and I am gearing myself up mentally yet again to break out the big guns and go full steam ahead) but keeping at it results in success. YOu are doing awesome! :) when is your vaca starting?

Hi mascara, hope you had a super birthday : ) congrats on a good weigh in.

Lekhika, when you lose the weight you want....you may very well not go back to eating junk food, etc. You are working so h ard for this and somehow I doubt you will let it get out of hand after........plus I beleive our bodies get accustomed to eating healthier and it is much easier to stay away from rich foods after, etc. I get a tummy ache now if I eat something rich or fatty and it's a good negative reinforcer. I just feel so much better when I eat light and healthy foods so that is a great reinforcer in itself. I have already told myself from now that when I get to my goal weight, the minute I see a 3 lb. gain, i will work to lose it! Before I would say, oh it's just 3 lbs. no big deal, then it would be 5 and ah the rest is history! lol so that's my plan girl, but for now I need to put all my energy into losingggggg it. : ) keep it rockin :carrot:

water addict, congratulations to you as well on the loss and the 20lb. mark! :carrot::carrot: keep up the great work, that is super.

pigginpodgey, bravo for maintaining during the festivities, etc . and for getting right back into the gym. way to go!

well my ladies, it felt really good to come in and hear your news and post. Now that things have finally settled down, I will be posting daily again. Miss you all, take care of yourselves and have a happy and successful day. :)

Congratulations on the pound and the 20 WHOPPING pounds! Wow! Go you!! I too would like to get back to losing 2 lbs a week....most days though, I try to keep in mind that I'm getting healthier, I'm feeling great and I'm so much more confident. I think these things keep me from saying, "to heck with it all" those weigh ins when the damn scale reads the same thing!!

Pigginpodgey
It's wonderful that you could maintain and are going to buckle down yet again. I feel like during today's workout, it "clicked" again and I feel so back on track. Hope you had a great workout!!

Woah! Congratulations on the loss! I so want to lose that much by the time July 12th comes around!

My cosmic fatloss partner!! I was just wondering about you/missing you today!! I'm so glad you're back. Some of what you wrote, I could have written...especially the part about being not up to regular momentum as far as exercise goes. But as I wrote above....it kind of "clicked" again today and I feel wonderful after a hard workout!

Congratulations on your anniversary! I can't wait to hear what you make for dinner. Your meals always sound SO scrumptious! My vacation begins on July 12th! I want to be 120 or as close to it as possible by the time tha vacation rolls around.

My MIL is visiting and she weighs 123 and I want to weigh less than her before the darn vacation!! Go me!!

Rest is well....glad everyone seems back on our June challange. Go June challangers....

over and out.

Congrats on the anniv. FullSteam!


I'm down 1.4 this week. My father's day was just another day. I called my stepfather and said hi, didn't bother with my worthless bio dad. :rolleyes: I'm feeling so good right now, so positive about the future and I think I owe it to my new kitty Tiger! I got him yesterday from my auntie. I knew as soon as I got him home that he's as crazy as me but that's okay. Right now we're in the stage of him getting to know his new home and owner. He won't let me touch him but he feels free to follow me around and climb all over my feet. Just like a man. :p

Ah im struggling this week!! I just dont seem to have the motivation for it, i have been a bit distracted, have met a new man who is just lovely!! 6 ft 3, brawny and scottish!! Yum!! So have been slightly distracted!! LOL!! I do seem to be eating less, but whether this will mean a loss or not i dont know, i just dont feel like i have been giving my healthy eating my full attention like I normally do.

Well done on losses everybody!!

Ahhhh Piggin! I love Gaelic men!

Jasonslea - have you heard of the highlander books by Diana Gabaldon, it was her who set me off on the gaelic men thing!!!

Have a nice weekend!!!

Hi guys

Just touching base. I didn't make it to weigh in this week as I went back to work. I did weigh myself on my scale at home and I stayed the same. This lack of activity is doing my head in!!! I'm frustrated as I really wanted to lose 14lbs by my holiday in August. <sigh>

This weeks goal is to re-committ myself to the program and get on track to lose as much as I can before our vacation.

Take care everyone!!!

Treasa

You can do it!

Oh man, I lost track of this thread. Just want to report that I was down 1.2 at my wi today, to 135.4 :)
