Finally made it past the 160s! Took a long time! I know that I have wanted to eat that piece of cake many times, but what is getting me through is seeing that my clothes are fitting better. My body is different this time loosing weight,from gaining and losing many times my skin is different. So off to the gym I go. I have been walking this past 4 months diligently, now its time for some fun stuff like Zumba and weights. I have only done one 5k this year and will look into some fall running. soooo.... keep up the good work, it will pay off. I have a little ways to go for my goal, which this time around I am praying I will make it. Here's to a great Tuesday. muah!
Congrats!!!!
Starting a week from Saturday I will be in a similar position as I will achieve weight I haven't hit since doing IP the first time 3 years ago. For whatever reason I am motivated now like I was then. And to ensure that continues to be the case I picked up 6 weeks of products yesterday (I have never deviated from protocol when I have had IP products in the house) so I have guaranteed myself of getting at least 3 months in and determining how I am feeling at that point. Right now I am planning on getting to original goal but people told me I looked older when I did that the first time so I am going to assess month by month and decide my goal - for now, it is the weight I achieved the first time.

people have told me that I was too thin last time... so people schmeaple! thats what I say. We are doing to be healthier. Here is to your weigh in!. I am excited for you! there are many exercises we can do to help our faces and body. I use lots of natural oils on my face and have been for 20+ years. it is the best thing i have done for myself to keep skin lovely. I do see the age spots coming in, but there are natural products that have been a blessing for me and it tightens the areas that need it most. plus water! woohoo for you and me!
Woo Hoo! Way to go Rochelle and skinnyjeangirl! I'm hanging out at just above my 'scream weight' but I'm slowly getting there. I must admit I'm not strict lol.

My super goal weight is 135. But, I decided to shoot for 145 to 140 and go from there. Its taken me a little longer this time, vs. 2013, because I tend to eat more protein at night. But, I am a happy camper for sure. Good luck to your "scream weight" I will scream when I hit 150! for sure. woohoo
Happy Weekend! lets remember to drink lots of water! Its a no weigh week for me do to TOM. so I am going to wait until September 4th! woohoo! Have a good weekend.... here are some good vibes
This was a tough week and weekend, I didnt cheat but gosh came so close. I think the tea and extra water helped. How did you all do? Its been kinda quiet. Hopefully everyone is just staying busy and staying on plan. I weigh next week so I am excited to see just a few pounds gone. I am hoping the weather will cool down a little, its been sooo hot! anyhoo, here's to another week on program. Stay focused and try something different this week, mine is a cycling class and some yoga, my body is so tight! ugh. happy week to you all

No chance of me straying. I'm going strong and committed like the first time. I weigh myself Saturday for 1st time in a month. My excitement for that has been tempered by the fact that I tried on a pair of jeans that I thought should fit but didn't. They will in two weeks. So, I am readjusting to first get in clothes I wore before surgery and then focus on weight I haven't seen since doing IP first time. That's ok - it won't derail me as I just treated it like a data point.

Me either! I am so excited for the determination in me. I have smelled that jar of peanut butter and bag of chocolates though. Thats about the closest I have gotten to any cheating! I tried on a pair of pants last week and about cried. I will probably fit nicely into them the end of Sept maybe the middle... woohooo

You know the funny thing...I have had situations where I could not fit in pants and then next time I tried they were too big. Just keep going and you'll be amazed soon that what was once impossible/tight will be loose!!!!

I have had that happen too, a pair of summer shorts to be exact and last weekend. Such a cool things. I have some dresses for fall that might be to big by the time it gets cool in weather to wear. Have a great day my fellow rebooter!
Good morning everyone, it is been very quiet on the boards lately I'm hoping everybody has gotten to a point where they don't need to be on the boards and has reached the goal that they are hoping for. I will probably stay here until I get on to phase 4, I am past the 160s but I am stalling right now and I'm okay with it. My co-workers are now wanting to know what I'm doing to lose weight, I told them it is a very strict diet and knowing how everybody in my Branch eats it may be tough for some people. I have avoided every potluck for the last 4 months so here's to keep going, keep fighting get back on the boards if you have fallen off the wagon, and keep talking to people about what's going on. Don't give up just because you cheated once. Have a good day my fellow rebooters💋👀👏

Good job Skinnyjeangirl! I know it feels good to see the 150's again. That's what I'm shooting for. I haven't updated my stats on here since I've rebooted. I was doing it all on my own with alternatives but found I was not being diligent or successful, so I have gone back to the clinic and I'm seeing results (slow results but results) I tend to be a slow loser.

I am a slow loser too! lol I eat more protein at night, more than I should. Not all the time but this month, i have been craving protein! So... either i cut it out or dont loose! (self talk) Good to see you here!
I weigh myself tomorrow to get my past month total weight loss. I'm flying home to Chicago now from California so worried that I'll have water retention that will affect my result. I am contemplating waiting until Sunday but we'll see how I feel in the morning. I'm tired and still have 2.5 hours left in my flight.
I'll let you know how much I lost for the month. Today completes 8 weeks. I plan to keep going to achieve same results as originally achieved which should take me into November. For whatever reason, I am not feeling great about my loss so far. It will be interesting to see what scale shows. I would need to lose 12 pounds for the month to be where I was pre-surgery back on April 27.
