Pat - you're doing great. And the plan that you sent me sounds perfect! You'll jump start this yet!

I dropped #3.4 this week - putting me back to #186.2, which is nice! I'm still working on seeing those #170's!!!!

Wildthing~It sounds like a great idea. I just might try it. I know I was eating way too much salt. A body cleanse couldn't hurt. MM~are you up to it?

Eny~Thank You!!!!! You are a doll.

Looks like rain here today. Catch ya all later. Pat

Wow, 3.4 # loss is awesome!

And Pat, congrats to you too on your plan to recommit! Have fun at your party!

Dixiemae--a divorce party? lol! How nice for them to do that for you! Support for that is just as important as support for anything else, and so go, enjoy yourself, rant and vent and try to laugh. Keep us posted!

My weigh-in was great today--188.8! After my terrible off-plan 5-6 days, I swear the scale when I peeked at it was at 195, when I had 189-something right before I left to go away. I worked my tail off the last three days and ate sparingly--all I can say is, whew!

I put this ticker on my signature, but I'm in so many dang challenges I forgot what weight I started this one! I'll have to go back to read the old posts and find out! I know I'm down a pound or two though!

Dixie - its been pouring here! Are you in the southeast?

I'm at 293 today, up 0.9 of a pound from yesterday. Probably that fried chicken.

Wish y'all the best!

Hey ladies,
I hope all are well. All I can say is TGIF!! I was fortunate enough to attend a fantastic conference today, but it was SITTING all day. Gotta' get my tail on the rower!
Congrats to all who keep the scale moving down. Progress wishes to all and wishes for a weekend full of fun activity and good eating.

Stephi~I live in Indiana. It has rained here all day. Been very cool.

Modcat~Divorce party was fun. I over indulged, but it felt good to let my hair down and have some fun with the family. My sister and I hung out all afternoon. Our older sister treated us to lunch. They made it a fun time, it helped to get it behind me.

Eny~You are doing great!

Catch ya all later. Pat

WAY TO GO ON ALL OF THE WEIGHTLOSS!!!! You girls have been busy!!!! I have strep. I just found out today that I get to go out of town for Thanksgiving with my boyfriend to meet his family. I have 33 days untill I get there. I am going to go crazy until I am there. I am gonna eat perfectly and exersice like the devil is after me. Starting in the morning I am gonna do taebo and I dont know what else. Anyhoo I will not be perfect Iwill however be better than I was.

wildthing--you have strep and yet you are going to go do a WO? wow, you are motivated! Be careful, don't overdo it, you don't want to get more sick.....

wild - just remember that your BF loves you for who you are - not what you look like! Stay the course and you will succeed! There's a LOT that you can do in the next 5 weeks before you go and meet his family. Just keep at it!

I'm sorry to hear about the strep though!

I'm off for the night! Going to do a little stretching, since my legs are still really sore... and then I'm sitting down with a nice book. Wicked I haven't read it yet - but my BFF said it's really good.

Dixiemae--I was born and raised in Indiana, New Castle. My mom still has her house there. I love Peyton Manning and the Colts, after the Bears of course (DH tried and true Bears fan).

Modcat~They are a little south of me, but I have been there!! Colts fan tried and true. Monday night I will be glued to the tv!! I need a hula hoop to burn off some of the energy cheering them on. Cubs fan tried and true Ask Mother Mavis about that one!! Catch ya all later Pat

Well I have been on zinc and other herbs as a home remedy and I feel 70 percent. That is way better than I felt. I can talk and eat comfortably now. thank goodness my mom is in to all of that natural home remedy stuff. She hate antibiotics. She says they are bad news. I hate dr visits because its costs so much money to tell me what I already know. So anyhow I followed her rules and I really am feeling quit nice. I took a brief walk this morning with my dog. I did a walk away the pounds tonight. I am not trying to achieve some super woman feat with Andrew's family. I just want to look the best I can look before then. I am not seeting any goals. I just want to try my best to be healthier by then. The holidays are horrible for me. I really want a good foundation on my habits before they hit. So I am gonna work really hard and what I get is what I get. Even if its 5 lbs. I am 5 lbs better. Anywhoo thanks for the get well wishes I really am feeling better.
