I just went to the center. I was down 2.2 lbs for the week! The plateau break I did really helped. WOOHOO I am back on track now. I am not sure if I will make it to my Valentine's goal but I am sure going to try. I have to lose 6.4 lbs in 3 weeks. I guess that is doable. I am going for it ladies!!!

Anyone else have any short term goals??

Jibbelle, Congrats on your loss WEIGH TO GO!! I know you can make your Valentine's goal! I do have a short term goal and I am shooting to be at 195 by Valentine's day! I am fluctuating back and forth right now and it sucks..so I think I have about 8 pounds to go. Don't know if I can do it, but I will certainly try my hardest. I know that the key is exercise so I will keep at it.

honey, good luck with the paxil. I am on prozac and have been on it for a while. I am going to see my doctor on Tues. to dicuss it. Good luck and keep us in touch!!!


Marciew

Taking a quick study break to have some milk and a chocolate crunch nu light bar. MMMM yummy!

Marcie-
I think we can make our Valentine's goals if we try really hard! If I make mine it will be 50 lbs total loss! That will just be amazing. I think that will put me down another size. WOOHOO What a motivator!

Keep on that treadmill girl! We can make it!!!!

Hi Ladies:
i have been a little bit busy lately.
I can't cheat for anything lately especially if I want to finish. I cheated on thursday and weighed in on Saturday I was up two pounds. I guess I don't have anything to play with like I did in the beginning. I was thinking of quitting at this point and start stabalization, but then I tried on a bathing suit I was not to happy with it so I am going to finish and reach the goal that I set out to do. I have nine weeks left I made it through nine weeks before without cheating there is no reason why I can't do it now.
Jibbelle reaching that 50 pound mark is going to be great for you, it was for me, I will be reaching my 60 pound mark in two pounds some time I can't believe it.
Marcie good luck with your Valentine goal, I think of you each time I use my treadmill.
Have a nice evening all
Diane

Diane-
Do you know much about the stabalization and maintenance. Is the food plan going to be like a gold or purple plan forever???

Hello all! I'm a newbie here at 3fatchicks. Great site. I've been on LA weight loss for about 3 months and I've lost 25 pounds. Not really two a week, but I haven't been that great at not cheating either.

I also work there, I loved the people so much I signed up to work. It is the best place to work.

My center is based in Avonadle, AZ and I had a question, first of all what's the two pound challange, we're all owned by different people, so I didn't know if they did something specail for you if you hit the 2 pound mark every week, or if it was just an emotional thing.

Well, I've got 30 pounds more to go, so if you don't mind I'll stick around for the support. =)

Thanks,
Jen

Hi Jibbelle:
Once in a while the councelors will mentioned something that i can have on stabalization. I hope it is not like the gold or purple but I bet it is not everything we want either. I think we are going to have to be careful if we want to keep the weight off. I think sour cream was mentioned, syrup but not mech else I have not been asking lately just trying to stay away from the cheating. I was thinking ahead of myself but I was worried when maintence was over so I bought an extra year for $79.00
Jen welcome and the two pound challenge is just for motivation here. We have goals that we think of ourselves the two pound goal I think is was started by Marcie.
Have a good OP week

Diane~I just want you to know how much of an inspiration you are to all of us! Look at your beginning weight and look at your current weight. I have been meaning to tell you this forever!! You make me feel like it is possible!

Jibbelle~We can do this!!!! Girl 50 pounds....you are truly awesome! You can make that goal I know you can!


Hope everyone had a good weekend!! Keep drinking your water!!!!

I just wanted to pop in really quick and say hello to all. I am taking a quick study break. I have my first test of the semester tomorrow night. I took tomorrow off so I can cram all day!!! I will also go to the center in the morning to see if I lost anything over the weekend.

Welcome Jen!

Will post more after my exam! Take care all.

Okay, so here's my deal. I'm hoping to get my butt away from the
big bowl of pasta that's sitting here in front of me, and eat my apple.

HELP! Okay, my goal is to get the weight off I put on this weekend by going to Disneyland. So that would put me back down to 191.

Diane ~ It's great seeing people succeed. Thanks for the inspiration.

Jibbelle ~ Good luck on the test, let us know.

marciew - You go girl! Making me want to get up and do the workout video. I'm going, I'm going...really.

Water, Water...Water... try it with Lemon. It helps.

Hi Everyone,
I have not been here in a long time. I love to cook at the holidays and make goodies to give away.
I have just decided I cannot do this. It aways backfires.
DianeM1, I noticed that you said that you could sign up for $79 for another year?
I paid $343 for a year. My year will be up in March and I need to renew. I hear from others that they get a year plus a year for maintence.
All reply please and let me know how your center works.
My 30 year reunion is coming up August 24th.
I just have to have lost my weight by then.
I wish there was someone else that could do the program with me.
I got a treadmill and want to work out with videos to boost by loss.
Any ideas from anyone.
Sharon 44

Hi Marcie:
Thanks for making me feel successful . You made my day.
I think we all can make things possible. The support hear is wonderful and no matter how many times we slip, I feel it is important to just keep going.
Sharon this is the third time I did La weight loss I have never made it this far before, but the program fee I always had to repay, sometimes they would give me 10% off for trying again. The $79.00 I paid was for a extra year of maintence, I asked if I could do that because I felt 1 yr of maintence was not enough.
I went over my weight loss weeks in November and have bought extra weeks along the way. I paid $7.00 a week for the extra weeks I wanted for weight loss. My year is up in April.
If I have not answered your question let me Know
Diane
Jibbelle I hope you had a good weigh in.

I am supposed to be studying for a test, but instead I am putting out fires.

#1 Last night while doing laundry a little bit if water backed up in the basement floor. No damage, just skinky. So....there is a guy here snaking the drain.

#2 Every time the furnace kicks on the breaker trips. So...we have no heat. The electrician should be here before noon.

So...did not make it to the center. Thankfully I have enough bars to last till Saturday.

Good thing I have most of my studying done, but I still have a couple more things to memorize.

Welcome back to Sharron

Back to the books.

Thanks Diane for the info.
Have you got to try out the new carmel crunch bars yet?
All we can get are the lemon and berry that are new. I made me a calendar on Microsoft so I can keep track of how many days until my class reunion.
I am trying anything to keep me focused.
I even thought about making a scrapbook starting with when I first started and keeping track of my loss and maybe try and take photos of me every couple weeks.
Any ideas?
Sharon

Jibbelle:
Good luck with the test. I hope the fires are finished.
Did everyone get the nice weather I do not want winter to come back.
Sharon my center does not have the carmel yet still waiting.
I would keep track of my measurements I know sometimes at my center they would forget and not do it every four weeks. I had alot of clothes that I did not fit into and I would try them on to see how far I was from fitting them silly but it kept me going.
good luck
Diane
