Just read this to DH and he got frost bite. Boy, you are really brave, outside and up in Canada. I'm down in Georgia and we have ours on a sun porch with one of those radiator heaters to warm the air some on the porch at this time of year. Do love that hot tub though.
Also, congrats on onederland!!

Lisa, I am right here with you on this. When I started this time last year, it would take a couple days to go to page two. Mostly daily chat, maintainers and a couple other threads. Very annoying. Along with no one reads, just open your mouth and ask. Can't be inconvenienced to take some time.
Off to my PT session. The foot is very slowly getting better.
Good news to share everyone! I decided to do a mid-week weight check because that cursed scale said I was up +2.8 on official WI day. Right before official WI, I had a stomach bug and it caused me to become swollen & retain water horribly. Got some med for it and could tell it was gone in a couple of days, so I weighed mid-week. Not only is that horrible +2.8 GONE, but there was another 1lb gone as well, which puts me IN THE LAST TEN STRETCH til my goal!!! I know it's not official 'til WI, but still I'm so excited and yes I took it off my ticker... premature but I'm like a kid at Christmas. . I've also switched to the alternative protocol (for diabetics), and I believe I'm feeling a bit better already. Thanks again for all the support, couldn't make it without you all!

That just brought back memories! We still have a spa, but don't use it quite as much as we used to. It used to be a nightly ritual for us, and I remember a time years ago when my DH once jumped out of the spa, made a snow angel, and then ran out to the middle of the frozen lake behind the house (thank goodness it was frozen solid!!) and then ran back and jumped back into the spa. The neighbors on the other side of the lake must have thought he was nuts!
We're in the process of building a new house now, and we've already made a spa on the lanai part of the design. I'm hoping that we can make it a part of our nightly routine again!
Weigh in done, I'm down 0.8lbs and 1.75 inches! I've been upping the exercise (and feeling AMAZING) so I didn't expect any big whoosh. Maintenance is so close I can smell it!!! I checked my BMI again today, I'm only 0.2 points away from being at a healthy BMI!
Stepped on the scale. 200.0 and I laughed. Damn Murphy! BUT then I got "nekked" and made it to 199.8! So as I said in the daily (for those of you avoiding there)
Feel free to sing along with me and John Mayer ....(cause my body IS a One-derland people!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0ZbevW2do
There is no proper icon so this will have to do "I, Diane, do solemnly pinky swear never to be over 200 lbs while standing butt nekked on a scale ever again"
Whatever it took, you made it to ONDERLAND!!!!! Congratulations.

Just goes to show how unexpected things can play havoc with the daily weight loss but it all evens out in time. Glad you were able to see it so quickly.
I'm checking in from my lunch. I still have a stuffy head and headache so I've popped a tylenol this morning. I WI at 6pm tonight so I hope this doesn't cause any water retention. However I think the scale is only half my consideration right now. I'm feeling extra bony in areas, like my rib cage is starting to show extra definition. I don't really want to lose any more there but I do need to lose a bit on my legs still - if only I could choose where the weight comes off. I'm in daily thought as to how much farther I should go to get to where I want to be but not taking it too far.

Wow! Hard to believe you can still have inches like that so close to goal. Maybe there is yet hope for my legs.

We use our hot tub the same way. What a great way to have a family visit and catch up. We have ours in an enclosed sun room. We get too much wind here to use it in the winter otherwise. We usually keep the windows open so we feel the chill of the air. Good contrast to the water.

That's a great loss with all the excercise you are doing!

Wow - that's a big day for sure, and you survived it all brilliantly!

Congrats on ONEDERLAND! My only worry is...didn't you say your scale was in the living room in front of the window?? Now that is determined! It counts!

I am so glad you switched to the "other" protocol. Stay healthy! and congrats on the weight gone! I am in the last ten stretch also. So exciting!
IP43 Congratulations on onerland!!!! Your story of being 200 and getting off the scale and getting butt neeked is hilarious!
I'm having a weird day. We had no school so I' home with 3 kids and did not ea my usual work lunch of a wildberry shake and 2 cups of some raw veggie like cucumbers.
Since I'm home I made a hot lunch and had the pasta with 1/2 c tomatoes, 1 clove garlic, EVOO, and 1.5 cups of seamed broccoli. I finished it less than 1.5 hours ago and am that kind of hungry where I could chew off my arm.
I have already nibbled some Romaine lettuce while cleaning it and now am onto Herbal tea.
I've never eaten any restricteds, I know the pasta isn't restricted but I am wondering if the higher carbs and wheat content could be making me hungry?

Anyone else have feel hungry after the rotini?
Funny you should mention that. I've only had it once or twice before but I've planned it for dinner tonight. The other times I've had it, it did seem like I got hungry again pretty soon afterward. I normally have my snack in the afternoon so I just moved the snack up earlier.
