Sweetheart your body just took a deep breath...next week you will drop more. Loss in inches and body fat means you also gained in lean mass...those are all reasons to celebrate! :hug: I say "Yay for you!" :carrot: Can't wait to hear about the magic your body is going to do over the next week.

Congrats Grandma! :carrot:

WI today was a 1 lb loss and 1 inch loss. A bit of body fat loss and a bit of lean mass gain. All in all I am happy with that but the darned 30 lbs lost seems to be toying with me. I still have 1 lb to lose to reach that milestone and I was just certain I was going to "officially" be there today! I have also decided to change my goal weight from 140 to 135...so that puts my 1/2 way milestone at 6 more lbs. Can't wait to see what the next couple of weeks bring. ;)

Nothing wrong with that, congrats! The gain in lean mass will affect the scale but that is positive overall.


Youll get that 30 this week!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA fun reading catching up with everyone tonight! Thanks for the smiles and the 100% support! You are all doing great!

You can go right ahead and be a bit sad for today IMO. Even knowing that your body is just catching up with you, it still is not what you want to see. The true test is that you keep smiling about what you've accomplished in the weeks prior and what staying OP will do in the future. Go get'im next week.

Changing your goal weight and being almost 1/2 way, that's crazy great! Have an OP week!

Something hit me at the end of the day and things fell apart for a couple hours. I'd like to think that is estrogren release from my fat cells. I was having back pain all day and by the time I got home after work, I couldn't do anything but sit and sob for a good 10 minutes. Then I decided I really wanted a drink (tequila is my typical choice, but not the shooter style). I managed to hold that thought off while I made and ate dinner. But then I decided I was still hungry and it was all I could do it make myself stay out of the kitchen for the next hour. I kept telling myself "how would I tell my IPeeps that I cheated for the first time in months"!

Now I'm over all the emotions and can't figure out what the fuss was about. Got to be crazy hormones. Or the other option is that my headache from yesterday is back, my throat is sore and I'm getting the wicked cold going around my office. Time for a nice herbal tea then bed. Jelly, I'm thinking of you and hope you are feeling better because being sick is not fun.

Wuv, another inspiring video. Love to hear your voice.
Busymom, thanks for the surgery info. I had surgery for a breast reduction a year ago so I can't understand all your considering but good luck with the insurance. I think Canada may be easier because I had no problem getting the surgeon to submit it to our healthcare. However I did have to pay a portion to get extra liposuction done on areas that don't lose well.

Goodnight everyone!

HAHAHA! That got a snort...I'm very much a flower like that sometimes.

VIP would have made a comment about pillow fights as well.....

Oh dont worry, in my head there was more than pillow fighting lol

Wanted to say so much more but thought i better just sit back and keep my posts PG haha

You guys gave me some good laughs today, thanks!

Ppsssst... hey... can I come in? It's been over 2 weeks since I've visted. I have been away and haven't had a WI for over 2 weeks... I hope to be home for my Tues WI. If it's true that stress and no sleep will hold you up on loosing, I could be in big trouble. I have missed 2 weeks of school, they have been fantastic accomodating me, otherwise I would be out the door. Had a death in the family, two other family members have had to have surgery and another one is waiting for surgery. I flew out so fast that my bag with all of my packs was left at the door. I have no IP, am stuck with no vehicle and most of the time aside from hospital time is spent in the country. My family are 'meat and potato' people. I'm doing me best with what I have.... which I have to say isn't much. After my 3rd day of trying my best I was basically starving... I had bread. Anyway... I will be back to my regular routine on Sunday.. well I guess Monday, and I will sheepishly go WI Tues. I won't be 100% till Monday are ya gonna let me hang with y'all? :?:

Congrats on both of these. :carrot:

You will hit that 30 next week, no doubt. I cant wait to celebrate it with ya.

Oh Crustybuns, it sounds like your life turned upside down! I am so sorry for the loss of your family member and wish all the others speedy recoveries. I admire you for trying to stay OP with everything that was going on. I am proud of you for jumping right back in to the swing of things and especially proud of you for putting yourself during some tough times. Don't hang your head when you go in for weigh-in. Smile and then fight forward. :hug:

Thank you very much Cadu!


So this morning I am trying a chocolate IP with spinach smoothy. I don't remember who said I would feel like superwoman but I have this feeling you are right. I agree with you...YUMMM.

My friend, you will kill it next week :hug:

I have not laughed like this in a long time, thanks!:lol:

Congrats granny on both counts!

That is one less from your countdown! Doing great!:bravo:

Have a great day!
