Come on Big T! Get your **** together and get done with this. You are to close to goal to screw around, that's like putting in a set of points on the bug and not setting them with a gauge!

Thanks for the push! ...and reminding me what I have to do next week (your analogy)!! :D

The old guys on here are are saying OMG points.
The young guys are saying what are points?

Yeah I went to a parts store and asked for a set of points and condensor. The kid found the points all right but then started looking in the air conditioner section for the condensor. Didn't help that he was born after the last set of points was put in a car.

Friday WI -1. Kind of blows my 3lb a week avg but a loss is a loss. I'm thinking the addition of MIO and some other MIO-like products this week sabotaged me. In to the trash. Lost some inches as well so it wasn't a complete kick in the rear.

The new week starts NOW and it will be AWESOME!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:
WI in this morning, down total 68 pounds.
Finally made it to past the HALF WAY point.
Physical was yesterday, the doctor was so thrilled he gave me a big hug.
Won't get my blood work, till next week. In a few more pounds the Dr. said we should be able stop the blood pressure medication.
Another 10 pounds and I should be into my stack of 38 waist pants, Down from a tight 46.
The big 55 was last week, feeling great, better than I have in the last 10 years.

Everyone hang in there, stick with what is working for you and CHARGE ON!!!! Better yet CHARGE DOWN...
:dancer:

Way to go Billie. I am thrilled that the vast majority of us have stuck with it. Fitting in 38 waist pants? Wow I am finding my 42’s are very lose, and looking forward to 38s myself.

Again, Congratulations!

Way to go guys.....I'm stuck in the 250's, but it's very encouraging to see your successes. I'm going to try drinking more water, even though I am already doing around 100 oz per day.

Lost 6# this week to take me to 211 and 99 total. Was really surprised by the big loss the last three weeks(17lbs). Only thing I've done different is switch my restricted from my bed time snack to my afternoon snack instead. I'd been eating the same things at the same times since September and my coach thought a little change like that could help and it has ! I'm surprised about how successful I have been, promised my wife I'd do it with her for a month and 7 months later I'm still doing it. She got knocked up and had to quit 6 weeks in so I watch her enjoy lots of carbs and stayed on track! Although I enjoyed telling her today that I weigh less than her :)

My coach put me on phase 2 for the whole time, she said she wanted me to have extra protein so I would keep my muscle. It's taken me a bit longer to lose but I enjoy having the extra meat for lunch, without it I may have quit a long time ago.

Ok guys had my WI yesterday down #9 pounds, then today tried on some new pants my wife got me not looking at the size and they fit! I was able to zip up and button a size 31, 5 months ago I was in a size 38. I haven't been this size in over 20 years!! My 10yo told medal your looking good! That was all I needed to know I can make it the last 10#.

Congrats you guys on the waist sizes- I know it is a big deal to be able to shop in a regular store and I'm looking forward to it

WOW guys y'all are killing it!!! All of you are doing awesome!

Currently I am setting on a deck overlooking a lake with the sun rising in Miami (it don't suck). Was on the beach yesterday and happily pulled my shirt off. Before we left Atlanta I switched out my winter and summer clothes in storage. Had to give away 3/4 of the stuff, but I did find some tee shirts that I had been given over the years that were way to small... But fit great now!
I for the first time am wearing a Tour de France shirt a friend brought me back 4 years ago.
Friday was a busy day and finishing up my packing in a hurry I forgot all my IP food. Yesterday I went to WalMart and GNC for EAS shakes and Quest bars so its an alternatives trip.

Great work Kit. You and I are similar in our journeys and age. The women in the office said that I needed to go find a pair of pants that fit. They were tired of looking at baggy bottoms...like I had diapers on under all that fabric..LOL So I had to go buy my first pair of 36 pants last week because nothing in the closet fits anymore. I also tried on and bought a large shirt. Quite a change from tight 44's and XXL shirts. :D

Awesome job all you guys!!! I'm happy to announce I'm back on track!

You know that common phrase in all TV/Film Dramas..."That was some heavy sh*t"...well I can say that (though out of context) literally!

I was a bit mystified by goose egg last week, especially on a longer week. (I usually have WI on Monday but this was on Wed). I knew that I didn't feel normal in the gut area but I had no idea of the extent of the big C.

I decided to let my Dieters Lax tea steep an extra 5min on Friday night. Woke up Sat morning and weighed in on the naked scale at 236...then all **** broke loose. That morning I hit the "can" three times and I have never felt better...clean as a whistle as they say!!

Sunday morning naked weigh in...233! Ahhh...regularity is one of those pure joys in life :)
