Morning Lisa, thank you for starting the daily chat.
I have to say I am enjoying the kale chips more than the zucchini chips. easier to make and healthier for you. a bit of an acquired taste for me. journaling this morning, last few days i have let all the compliments get to me. i was almost convinced to go to p2. i have the last 15 pounds to lose and i am going to. being a working woman and all the stress that carries, i have had a preggo tummy for a while. losing the 20 on ip took a big chunk off, but i want to have flat abs. abs are made in the kitchen. i do not wish to gain this weight back again, have done it more times than i care to count. major nsv - was able to get into my wedding blouse, have not since the wedding and it has been 20 years. so very happy. about 10 pounds from what i weighed when i got married. 100% op all they way |

Being new it really helps to read your post, day 6 here. Have not yet found my way to all of my veggies when I am on the roll to various parties etc. i found the way to avoid what I should not eat, but not all of what I should. Packed everything first thing this morning, so day 6 should work better for me. Congrats again and thank you for posting. |
Good Morning!! I had to change my WI until Wednesday. I get so nervous about it. I know I stayed OP 100% but I guess it's just my MO. I want to look like I have lost enough to people notice Christmas eve.
Looking forward to a wonderful day with my daughter. It's my husband's Birthday and I am letting her decide what kind of cake she wants to make. Last I heard it was strawberry cake with choco frosting. HA HA HA!! I am trying to convince her to make a lasagna since I know she would have fun putting it together. I plan on having chicken or turkey meatballs, with zucchini spaghetti. Need to decide how to spice it up. Any ideas?? Have a great day everyone!!! |
Lost 1 lb this week so I am officially in the 160's!!!!!
We ate out a few times and also with not being able to measure out the turkey and veggies at Thanksgiving dinners, I was worried about the weigh in this morning. I'm so thrilled with that 1 lb loss! Last night I decided to clean out more of my closet and also try on some of the size 10's I have to see how close I am. I had 6 pairs of dress pants in size 10, and I managed to get each pair on and zipped. They are a little more snug than I dare to wear, so I'm hoping I will be in them in the next 1-2 weeks. My size 12's are all loose now, and I need to wear a belt with them. I also wore a size M coat today that I havent worn for years. Time to donate all the 1x & XL's that are in my coat closet. Hope everyone has a great OP day! |
Ragdoll congrats on the 1 pound loss during t-week, that is great. Your 10's will be loose soon enough, keep it up

I know you will be in those 10's soon! |
Awesome job to all!
Sonya Your post really helped me. Im being encouraged to move my goal weight up by some people but I believe that i can get to where I want to be. I don't want to be one lb from being overweight. I already moved it up 10 but the final number is up to me and my dr. Ok, me. Least I raised it from the initial weight I wanted to be which was 110! I am 5'9" |

I'd be interested to see how many people actually stick with what their original goal weight was set at. I'm expecting to adjust my goal once I get closer, probably to 130 lbs. I'd like to be at 22% body fat, which would be in the middle of the fitness range. |
Looks like everyone had a good week. Looking forward to getting back to work after a week off. Much easier to stay OP with routine. Didn't stay as good as I hoped to over the holiday weekend. Hoping to not show a gain when I have WI on Wednesday morning. Have a wonderful OP week, everyone!

I need a holiday from my holiday! This long weekend was crammed with cooking, eating, cleaning, dishes, ub-decorating Thanksgiving, re-decorating Christmas, and my family was here too...so extra entertaining.
Actually didnt get my lunches & ice cream purees prepped for the week yesterday. I was able to get things ready this morning for my day...albeit rushed and in a tizzy, but definitely need to devote some time to cooking tonight. I took a Pilates class yesterday after Bodypump, it was waaay lower intensity than what i am usually doing but its recommended for my lower back issues. Not too sore this morning, I plan on fitting it in to my weekly rotation. I have no illusions on 6-pack abs, but i definitely am wanting to keep a strong core. I also started sitting on an exercise ball at work. |

-------------------- Good morning all! Had a good 10 day trip to see the in-laws and am finally back home. Missed last weeks weigh in because of the vacation, but stayed OP and was rewarded with a 6.2 pound loss today. Made it halfway and only 5 pounds away from 100 pounds lost. Can't wait to get there. Only two more big holidays to get through (Christmas and New Years) and then everyone will be dieting! So glad I got a good head start. Have a great day everyone! |

Was a little worried about my week 5 WI this morning given Thanksgiving week activities--party Wednesday night, big dinner Thursday, 25th high school reunion Friday night. Ate more salty foods than usual and ate foods that weren't prepared by me so couldn't control ingredients or measure quantities.....but despite that I am down 2.6 lbs this week for a total of 17 lbs!!!
Made garlic roasted kale last night....unbelievably good and super easy!. I highly recommend this recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/garl...0400000107528/ |
