9 pounds to stabilization
Anyone else in similar position and want to team up for this leg of the trip? I hear it can be challenging and a bit anxious to BE THERE!

8.5 for me too! I am ready, excited, and nervous all at the same time!
|
Looks like I have about 8 to go as well. We can do this ladies!
Cheers! Ronnie |
I just started so I am not close to 8-9 pounds from goal, but I just wanted to take a moment and wish you the best, I know you can do it! Just reading that you are that close is so motivating to me, so thanks for that! I can do this and so can you all!

WI tomorrow. I'm trying to kick up the exercise a little more this week, as I haven't consistenly done this throughout program. So this week I went to my zumba class twice (total of 120 minutes so far). Not sure if I'll get there any more this week dur to schedule. How about you all--what's a little something you're going to try and do differently to make things budge on the scale?

But what is hard is that Day 11 is Christmas Eve and that is when we always have our family Christmas....I am just hoping to get through that day! My mom has offered to make whatever I can eat, but at this point I don't have my green menu so I don't know what to tell her. If anyone has some ideas for me that would be great. It will be the dinner meal I need ideas for (meat-slim). |

I'm right there with you all! The last 10 are sometimes the hardest. Especially now. I keep trying to convince myself that its ok to go Off plan because I'm so close and have less ground to cover now... and with all those holiday treats all around... GEEZ! I think I'm worse now than when I started! I tell ya, it's been tough!

Frustrated....at WI I gained a pound. I had exercised twice (120' zumba)since last weigh in, had gone out to eat once but had made good choices.....I drink plenty of water.....for those of you who have been at this last 10 pounds for awhile.....counseling please! Center told me that this is a point where weight can jump up and down some...that body really tries to hold on. Stomach fat still needs to go more and it's been there a long time....how do I break through?
|
Checking in on those of you on this journey with me....tomorrow WI. I've kept on program even though was frustrated at gaining a pound....haven't exercised since the last WI.....time will tell tomorrow!

Hang in there porchmom. My weight seemed to stall as I inched closer to the 10 pounds to go mark. Sounds like you've been exercising and that's great. I didn't exercise for most of my program b/c I lost without having to, not to mention that I hate exercise. I had to start using the treadmill as I got closer to the end of this journey. It really has helped me and I've been dropping 2 or 1.5 a week since I started. 6.5 to go. Gonna plan on maintaining through the holidays...no weight loss planned for me until I have some good meals with my family. Also, I have a birthday to enjoy two days after Christmas. I told my center my plans and that I would not eat off plan every day of my vacation, but only on holidays. My consultant said she wouldn't try to talk me out of it since I'm so close to the end...I'll bet they'll still call me several times to "check on me". Sometimes I get tickled when I think of what they must be imagining...me out of control, eating everything in my path. LOL

this sounds like me, I just want to maintain until after the holidays. I'm
managing this well, as well as enjoying a little freedom with no weight gain. I have been faithful to exercise. I think that has keep me from not gaining. Goose - I did what you did, and my center totally understands my decision. I will be back OP after the holidays and on my way to stablization. what a way to start the New Year! Merry Christmas to everyone! magnoliagirl |
Sounds like you've got good realistic plans. At WI today I was down the pound I'd gained...so again....9 pounds to go:) I'll go to Zumba class tonight for 60 minutes. Just out of curiosity--how much treadmill time did you put in for things to kick in and was it a manual treadmill or electric? My tummy fat has been here SO LONG I think it's going to be stubborn--I'm trying to think positively but am a bit nervous (as I'm sure you can tell). I'm just so looking forward to stabilization at this pointl I did buy the fat and carb blocker today to use over holidays (when I too will go off program for a few days). Anyone used that with success??? I hated spending more money but did....
