Hello all...I will probably not be posting for about a week. My father-in-law passed away a few hours ago, so I will be focusing on the needs of my family for a little while. Keep us in your prayers...

Have a great week everyone...Charlene

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!!
I went out to dinner on Friday with my BF and was so good. I only ate one piece of bread and asked for veggies instead of a starch with my dinner. As a result Saturday I was only up .2 lbs, which are now gone plus a little more! It is so hard to stay on plan when I go out to dinner!

Charlene-- I am so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Lady Zaidi-- Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

Julie & RRmom-- I am the same way! I have been so good about watching what I eat and the pounds have been coming off, so I have no desire to workout. I just need to set aside at least 30 minutes everyday, but I just don't feel like it!

Green Plan-- Saturday
Breakfast-- Oatmeal
Snack-- Luna Bar & tangerine
Lunch-- Peanut Butter (I was running errands all day, so this was something quick)

Heather - if you don't feel like working out, don't. I know for me when i try to go all gung ho on something, I get burnt out and lose focus. I didn't have a regular exercise routing for the majority of my plan! Just recently started to get more focused now that I've got the eating thing under control...

Thanks Julie! That makes me feel better about not exercising! It is probably easier to learn to eat healthy and then add the exercise in. One thing at a time!

Well, today is the official WI day and I am down 5 lbs in a little over a week! I have been so good about eating POP! I just might be able to make it to my overall goal by the time I leave for Florida!!!!

One measly pound...just kidding...a loss is a loss! And I'm thinking that if I would have gotten all my water in the day before my weigh-in I might have gotten better results...

I'm having problems this week trying to stay on track nutrition and exercise-wise. It's been very stressful trying to make sure my father-in-law's obituary mentions everyone, making sure DH & DS7 have somber suits that fit, giving support to family members that need it, etc. On top of that, I had a physical today and my doctor wants me to stop following LAWL. He gave me a referral for "Diabetes Education and Nutrition Services" to get a more personalized program...I'm not sure what to do...

With Faith-really sorry to hear about your FIL. Hope you and your family are doing ok. Congrats on your loss. I wonder why your doc isn't up for LAWL? My doc was really excited about it. I think it would work well for people dith diabetes as it realyl regulates your starches/sugars. Let us know what happens.

LadyZ-wow girl! Look at those stats-keep it up!!

Heather-you are going to be smokin in Miami! Keep it up.

I'm so excited to see everyone on a losing streak. I was 1lb down this week, but have been doing extra great with my food this week. Weekend is not going to ruin me!! I want to show a big loss on Tues.

We have thre weeks from Sat to get to this goal. I've still got some lbs to lose so I've got to turn on the heat!!

Sorry! I should have added more detail. His problem was not specifically with the LAWL program itself rather the fact that I was doing it on my own since there are no centers in my area anymore

Also he is concerned because I have multiple chronic illnesses (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, rheumatoid arthritis, an enlarged thyroid gland AND of course obesity...) and suggested that it would be better if I was losing weight under medical supervision

Good Morning! I checking in really quick this morning! Hopefully I will have time later today to catch up!

My weight has been up and down this week, but for the most part it has stayed at 131. After being on plan for the past two weeks I went off plan last night when I went out to dinner with my BF. I had two glasses of wine and then we split this unbelievable bread pudding for dessert. Amazingly I was only up 1.2 pounds this morning!

I am going to spinning class this morning for 90 minutes and I am sure that I will be drinking a lot of water. By tomorrow I should have no problems getting rid of the extra that I put on.

I am off to get some work done before I go to they gym. I will check in later! Have a great Saturday!

Heather

I've been sick this past week and didn't stay on plan. The result was terrifying when I got on the scale yesterday. After eating light yesterday and hot lemon water last night, the numbers look better but still up. Hopefully I'll kick this cold soon! One thing is for sure - I will not use feeling under the weather as an excuse to go off plan again!

Okay, so I fell off the wagon this week! I got on the scale again this morning expecting to see that they five pounds I had lost went back on, but they didn't. Somehow I managed to lose almost a pound after eating pizza and and choclate covered peanuts last night. Thank goodness I went to the 90 minute spinning class yesterday and drank a ton of water.

I know that I am not supposed to get on the scale everyday because of fluctuations, but it helps keep me on track from day to day. If I go up because I was a little off the day before, it helps keep POP for the day and really watch my starches. Not to mention following the green plan can be really tough.

I am going to start TO today and to the 21 day boost. I leave in 3 weeks, so this should get me to my goal and hopefully beyond by the time I go on vacation!

Have a great week!

So, ladies, I have revised my goal. I didn't feel too bad about revising because of the surgery at the beginning of the challenge contributing a few pounds. I was shooting for 265, but now as long as I make it to 270, I will be satisfied!

Let's make this a good week! I was just pleasantly surprised by the scale. I ate out ALL weekend. I pretty much stayed w/i pts but just didn't get in the good stuff. So I will take this loss!

Tues 1/6- 266 (-3)
Tues 1/13-264 (-2
Tues 1/20-263 (-1)
Tues 1/27-261 (-2)

I know we all can make our goals! Kimberly-I think you deserve a revision! I think it's awesome that you are bouncing back from that surgery.

Let's get 100% GOAL!!

Ok so I am becoming honest with myself. Everything I had lost for this challenge was gained back. UGH! I have no focus. HA! So I updated my ticker to reflect my real weight. Yuck! ha!
