Great job girl! :carrot:

I weighed in this morning and I'm down .5 lbs. I talked to them about my little snack at night the past couple of nights and they said I can pull in another HNS and I probably need to cut back on the exercise a little. Now what diet/lifestyle change tells you that? LOL!

To be honest, school started back up again today so its a bit of a relief to not have to try to fit as much exercise in my schedule right this moment.

So today I did a bit of shopping to spend my Christmas money. I went to a boutique in town I love. I have only ever been able to buy accessories and shoes there as the clothes ahve been too small. Well, today I bought a coat there that fit! And it was on clearance! A $132 coat for $44! And it fits!!!

Perk of weight loss I wasn't expecting: being able to fit into boutique clothes.

Picture on my blog here: (*i couldn't attach it for some reason) http://razorbackbritt.blogspot.com/2...mas-money.html

I am still at 29 pounds lost, but I'm kicking my butt into gear, eating OP and working out this week...hoping to sign that 30 pound board soon!

Congrats! Almost 20lbs in 5 weeks is amazing! :D

I would almost have to say that it is unrealistic to lose another 20lbs in 5 more weeks--and borderline unhealthy. That's averaging out to 4lbs a week, which is almost too much. Part of the reason that you lost so much right away was because of "water weight." We all started out a little dehydrated, and increasing your water intake in the beginning causes big changes right away. My guess is that you'll probably slow to about 2lbs or so a week--which is nothing to sneeze at! If you're body decides to continue dropping the weight rapidly on the green menu, then great! I just wouldn't be surprised if it slows a little.

But don't they tell you 2.5-5lbs a week? I hope it contunies, I am working hard at it. So I totally saw this show on MTV Called "I use to be fat" this girl lost like 90lbs in FOUR months. That came out to like 6 lbs a week and she looked totally transformed. Anyways, I'm 100% dedicated and hope that it's not too unrealistic to hope for. I've seen it happen in coworkers, just wonder if I can keep it up the same.. :carrot: Thanks for ur input teacherlady, I love your posts!

Everyone is different. Hopefully you will continue to lose fast.. However, I was told 5 lbs is what Men can expect to lose, not women. So, just know, you are well on your way and you will get there.

Proud of myself for yesterday. I ran in the morning, stayed completely OP, remembered my vitamins. The only thing I missed was some of my water. Missed one water bottle. Hoping to do the same today and get all my water in. I am going to try Muai Thai tonight for the first time. Doing this plan has really opened my eyes to what I might be able to do. I figured if I do workouts that are like training I will look at this menu like training too. I am training for a 5K in March. Doing Muai Thai is training as well to become an athlete. The menu is needed so I can do both. I think this is exactly what I needed. I go in tomorrow to face the music from the past two weeks. We will see how I did!

@razorbackbritt - Congrats on the great shopping find. That jacket is super cute and I love how it highlights your waist. You look fantastic!

@Glammy - You are doing wonderful! Keep up the great work!

@jade - Oooh that sounds like so much fun! Really enjoy it. You sound like you have your mind made up that you are gonna make this YOUR YEAR!

I made the turkey sausage patties this morning. Oh man it was pretty good. The next time I will probably make it with less fennel and sage and add some garlic and onion powder. It was a fantastic change. I had my french toast with turkey sausage this morning!

Did Wii Zumba yesterday...nice to work out at home. Today I am going to be cleaning house and hopefully will have time to Zumba again. Hoping and praying for the 30 pound board Thursday....

Hello...
I weighed in today and lost 1 1/2 pounds,a total of 19 pounds since beginning of September.n Should hit goal by end of month,I would think.

Hope y'all have a wonderful evening.

Patzi, that's wonderful! Keep it up!


I weighed in today, and I was down 1/2lb from last Tuesday. I usually prefer to see a bigger loss, but between my body adjusting from the previous week (when I lost 3.5 lbs) and my bday cake and evening snacking this last week, I'm fine with it.

Back into the swing of things, staying on plan from here on out! :)

I am going to try! Muai Thai was so crazy! I had a blast though. Not sure if I can make it upstairs to go to bed haha.

After a crazy week hiking through the snow trying to find that big deer with my husband, I was so excited to come back and weigh in. My husband made me climb up a 90 degree, 60 foot cliff. It was a challenge! I didn't make it to the top, but neither did he. What a work out. I came home tonight with only a 2lb weight loss. A little disappointing, but I have now lost 20lbs. I signed the board and got my rock. I also got a piece of ribbon they measured out to be as long as the inches I have lost. What a great feeling. I guess I'll keep plugging along. It seems to be working!

Great job on getting back into the swing of things, everyone! The pounds are coming off!

@strugglingnicole, 2lbs is AWESOME! Please try to give yourself credit! If you were doing a lot of hiking and exercise you're not used to, you are probably retaining some water in your muscles. The fact is, you burned a lot of fat and it will show up at some point.
