Week 1 - first weigh in. (And, actually, only 6 days in...so not quite a week.
I lost four pounds and NINE inches. FOUR of those inches from my waist.

That is some major motivation.

Hi Minnie5,

I am sorry you are not feeling well I was sick on day 3 I threw up at least 10 times I called my coach they said it was ok unless it lasts more then a day. I was not nauseous after that but didn't really feel like myself again until the end of week 2 but I just finished week 3 and can't believe how much better I feel and all the energy I have. Just hang in there.

I just took my BMI and I am in a healthy range as well (24.4), and also just realized I am only 2lbs. from my 1/2 way point - great to celebrate the victories along the way.

But then it was dessert time and everyone was eating such beautiful desserts and of course I was just sipping on my coffee. The temptation got to me so I asked the waitress if they had any sugar free desserts and she directly me to a pudding puff dessert at the buffet....I took one bite and thought to myself, this taste way to good to be sugar free so I pushed it aside. I have worked way to hard to blow it now....so when I got home I had some chocolate soy puffs lol.
Good for you for resisting. Not easy, but oh so worth it as you know.

I said HE** NO, he said I knew you were going to say that but wanted to make you smile which it did. I was better after that, I don't know what was going on with me yesterday....ALL better today though!
Sorry you had a rough day yesterday. I think we all are trying so hard and doing so well, but sometimes it feels like we hit a wall for a day or two, and then it passes. Today is a new day!

Much luck to you mamacita.. it feels great when our pants are sagging, but it doesnt look so great. My DH calls me droopy drawers. I must go in to the basement and dig out some old smaller sizes.

80 pounds is amazing .. congrats, you should feel very proud.

Sorry you are not feeling great. Are you happy with where you are now? If so, move on the phase 2. If not, keep on going, the hard days do pass. Hang in there.

Lisa07 & Wuv- I hate having the hard days, but as you both know, they do pass. Just be grateful that you didnt resort back to bad habits during the hard times.

I will add an ounce or two of turkey breast and that really helps with keeping me full. It's very hard to drink all my water on the trail, I feel like a jack in the box getting down and up and down and up on my horse, so that is probably what suffers most. Anyway, after having dropped close to 35 pounds I really noticed the difference getting on my horse....I hope he did too!

Have a great week everyone!
Wonderful!! I'm SURE he noticed and it's starting to really add up. In no time you'll be down a sack a feed!! Hooray! I've been stalled out for awhile and getting discouraged but, seeing your progress is revitalizing me. Thanks!

Sounds like you have a great son. My kids are 4, 6 and 9. I can't imagine how tough it must be to see them move out. You did a great job sticking with it.
