  • 10 day plateau continues... I weighed in today and am still at 197 (SINCE MAY 1 ARG!) They did my body composition though and i'm down 7.5 lbs in fat since last months body comp, so i guess that is good news. But she did my measurements too which were at 47" total! 5 alone in my ribcage.

    It's really interesting, my first measurements i lost a lot in my neck and legs but NONE in my hips/waist/chest. The second one I lost a little in my wait and chest, and legs. My third one almost all my weight loss was in my thighs, hips, waist and chest. Finally getting to the parts I really want gone! Woo!
  • Congrats on the inches lost!! I'm sure you can really see the difference. Hang on though and I'm sure you'll see a large drop on the scale once your plateau is over and then you'll have us all jealous!
  • Quote: There's pretty much no way I can finish on time, which is a real bummer. I've never averaged 3 lbs a week, I'm actually around 2 lbs a week and I have 11 weeks left and 35 lbs to go. I'm starting to get used to the idea of having to do a couple extra weeks, but I was really attached to my goal date.
    Have you tried switching things up at all? My body gets used to food and exercise FAST and stops dropping weight (I think I'm a highly evolved food storer - I would have outlived everyone during a famine! lol!) Anyway, if you're in a food rut (same things everyday) or an exercise rut (always walking, etc), try something completely different for a week and see what happens. Sometimes it's enough to make your body wake up. I was also told eating breakfast within an hour of waking up is KEY - it's like stoking the campfire of your metabolism.

    Yea You for 25 lbs!!

  • Weighed in yesterday and despite the bad choices in food and being off plan the few days while I moved - I lost 4 lbs. I guess all the moving helped burn off some of the junk. *phew* I was going in expecting a gain!

    Past the halfway mark now, woo.

    that's great news!! yayyyyyy 4 is a great #!!!!!
    Did you move out of the area?
  • Not really, moved from Greeley to Severance. Longer drive to my center, but I only weigh in once a week so its not really that bad at all.

    And thank you. I was quite happy with that 4 lbs.

  • Quote: I just started the HNS this morning. GROSS. I told them I was concerned about the drinks as I have never been able to do them well. I had a powdered wild berry or something. Anyone else have trouble with the drinks? What did u do?
    Becky,
    I have found that I like the more tart flavors, particularly the lemon and pink lemonade. I have them with lunch and dinner and they taste like lemonade to me. Wildberry is veeery sweet. I usually have it in the morning with all of my vitamins - makes them easier to choke down early.

    Best,

  • Quote: Well, I can agree with that. Nothing I'd want to get into myself.

    Seems odd that I'd see ads here all the time for hcg injections though? There's a link on my screen just to the right now--free hcg oral drops trial, how I lost 22 lbs. in 3 weeks - limited time! WITH a link.

    Seems they wouldn't accept ads if they don't want it talked about.

    Ok, hope my comment won't get this shut down. Just saying.......
    It was explained to me by one of the site administrators .... something like this-- the ads are by google ads, and when certain words are used in posts, the ads with those words pull up.
