  • Turtle, you're getting seriously close to your next mini goal !

    Well, feeling a bit 'humph' as I seem to have reached a standstill at 142 over the last week. Going to wait patiently for a whoosh...

    Waiting.... Waiting.... Waiting ... ... ...

  • Yesterday’s turkey dinner resulted in another ½ lb gain, so I’m now all the way back to where I started at the beginning of October, even though my only cheat was yesterday’s turkey dinner. Hopefully, the back half of the month will be better than the front half.

    Turtle: You’re still in the 150’s…wonderful!! When I began my diet, I measured myself (height) for the first time in about 40 years. When I was in high school, I was 5’ 7”. I’m now 5’ 5”. So, I know how you feel!

    Jacqui: Never mind a talking to…if my scale doesn’t smarten up real soon, it’s going to get a beating.

    Joy: You and I seem to be stuck!

    Minneey: I feel your frustration and I hope your whoosh comes soon.

    183StGB: Congrats on another loss…it looks like you’re down around 5 lbs for the month so far…good work!

    Emme: I hope you’re able to find some time to focus on your diet and exercise. Good luck with your move!

    Sum: Nice loss…you’ll be in the 140’s soon!

    good morning everyone,
    I'm still sick boohoo
    also, I'm pretty sure my scale is messed up, because I still have those 2lbs fluctuations, even though the scale is on Level ground and I put in new batteries. I'm crosschecking with my parents' manual one, and it shows a downward trend so I'm fine with it.

    have a good day!

  • Catching up with my posting my progress this morning! Two Turkey dinners on the thanksgiving weekend and the associated celebration have bumped me back up to the 150's, but I'm feeling good about it because 6 months ago, I would have done twice as much "damage" and would have been slow to get back on plan. Thanks everyone for the encouragement here, it is a really big part of staying motivated!

    Tuscany - I hope you enjoyed the long beautiful weekend and I'm pulling for a great second half of the month for you!

    Minneey - I have a feeling you will defeat 142 this week!

    Jacqui - I'm jealous of how close you are to your goal - way to go!!

    Turtle11 - You are so close to your next mini-goal, that must feel great
  • TOM came to visit me today with another half lb up. Hopefully, the whoosh fairy will soon be on her way with a nice drop back down!

    Tuscany, hang in there! As you well know, weight loss gets a little crazy sometimes!

    183, I hope you get your scale out worked and !!!

    Sum and Turtle, yay! New lows for both of you!

  • Hi everyone! This weekend I didnt choose my meal wisely. First off Myfamily and I went to a buffet for lunch I did choose healthy dishes and no bread or soda at all but I did have 3 plates yikes! That same night I had 4 beers at a get together and to top it off I had 3 slices of Pizza on Sunday. I felt horrible on Sunday night and was scares to get on the scale on Monday morning, so I decided I would work super hard during my zumba class monday and would weigh myself on tuesday morning. I was actually impressed to see that despite my bad choices I still lost one pound from last thursday.

  • Hello everyone,

    Day 2 of being completely on plan! This past weekend was terrible. I ate so much junk food because it was my Dad's 70th birthday party. And guess what, it shows on the scale. 147.4 lbs yesterday morning + today. Ugh I'm gonna take it one pound at a time, what matters is that I've changed my mindset and I was able to eat healthily these past 2 days. I will follow up with exercise as well once I feel ready for it.

    ----

    Turtle11 and Jacqui D - Thanks so much for the kind words and well wishes

    Tuscany - Thank you I see that you're trying to get out of the 140s as well - ugh, I hate them so much!!

    Turtle: You remain in the 150’s…

    Jacqui: The one (only?) good thing about my age is that I no longer have to worry about TOM! You’ll be back down to 185 before you know it.

    Joy: Dear Whoosh Fairy: Joy and I WANT a whoosh…we NEED a whoosh…and gosh darn it, we DESERVE a whoosh!!

    Minneey: Now you just give that pound #142 the heave-ho! Tell it, in no uncertain terms, that it is no longer welcome…

    183StGB: I hope you feel better soon.

    Woodstock: A belated Happy Thanksgiving to a fellow Canadian! I hope you also enjoyed the festivities. You’ll be back on track soon.

    Sum: Every little bit counts.

    B Fatter R: LOL! I’m glad to see you’re not losing your sense of humor…better luck with your next weigh in!

    Campana: Glad to hear you weren’t penalized too heavily for your sins.

    Hoopty: Good for you, getting right back on plan. I’ve been in the 140’s since the end of August…it’s taking forever to get into the 130’s! Although I expected it would become harder to lose weight as I got closer to goal.

  • Dear whoosh fairy, you seem to have taken a small vacation, and as I know we all need some time off, I think you need to come back to work. Tuscany, Joy, Jacqui, and Minneey have all earned a visit.
