I'm In The '80's
 

:carrot: I weighed in this morning and I am IN THE 80's! :carrot:

I am at 189.0....without a lean to one side of the scale ~ straight up and down! Oh yeah!

And I still have one more day of September. So from July 23rd until today I have lost 12 pounds by eating better choices ~ stepping away from the dinner table when I have really had "enough" ~ worked my butt off on the treadmill and lowered my beer intake (OK ~ so I could do better on that one ;) at least it is mostly light beer now ;) )

With Labor Day week-end and BBQ's here it could be tough for me...I will just have to ~

Make better choices!

HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEK-END FOLKS! :)

Congratulations Gary!! Don't you love the 80s. :) Now I'm ready to pass through the 80s and downward, but you'll be at goal long before I will.

congrats!! i wish i could get out of the 80s! i can never break free, they HAUNT ME!!!!!!

Congrats, that is so great!! :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot:

Woohoo! :woohoo: Gary, you are rocking the weight loss, dude! :lol3:

Good for you!!

Gary! That's awesome!!

For the longest time I never saw your ticker change and now all of a sudden the past couple weeks it's been like through the roof with weight-loss!! Good for you!!!

Keep it going! Lets celebrate with some Calorie free beer!! :lol: Riiiiiiiight.

woohoooooo congrats!!!!! good job. I guess your motto is starting to work huh! Good job

You see, you're just cruisin' your way to goal.... Don't let those bbq babyback ribs get you..... just think portion-wise! You're almost there, and good as gold!!! Hurrah!

Wow, I thought I saw you wearing a Members Only jacket.....;)

Congrats sweetie! :)

I don't know about that TAMMY! My first goal is 185...but from the looks of my stomach at 189...I think I UNDER-estimated ;)

Well ALLISON...in case NOBODY told you....women have ALL the POWER! Angie used to be able to get me to do ANYTHING! Pretty much still does....but I put up a fight sometimes now....she doesn't have that POWER like before.....refer to my pre-menopause thread ;)

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! 3FC HELPS YOU TO BE MOTIVATED AND HONEST WITH YOURSELF ~ IT JUST COULD BE THE GREAT COMPANY WE KEEP!! :):hug::)

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm doing a happy dance for you, Gary. Its on one leg, but its still a happy dance.

:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

WOW 12lbs in a little over a month!?!?! :bravo: Thats awesome!!
I've been gaining and losing the same 2lbs for over a month now. I'm going to take a page out of your book... Better choices and STEP AWAY FROM THE TABLE! I'm tired of giving the scale the ol' one finger salute every morning! lol

ERICAH ~Seriously, I eliminated all junk out of my diet, I eat fruits and veggies for my snacks instead of chips and I leave the table when I am full...most of the time ;)

I am getting in almost an hour of treadmill work each day or more and it helps that I have a job in construction and can push myself to use up some calories if I want to.

But doing all this makes me hungry too....focus dear! JUST ONE POUND AT A TIME IS EASY!!...more can be hard...start with EASY!! Good luck to you!

:hug:That's great! Congrats!
