  • OH HAPPY DAY Lulu! WooHoo for you! That is just an awesome sight! What was your goal for 7/4? 189? That sure can be reached! I am so happy for you! This is such a great time in your life and you deserve it! Enjoy the singing inside (as I used to have in my profile) YIPEEE!

    Me--- I am down another lb and have put a big crack in that stall wall.. Going forward and I still need to lose 8 lbs in 3 weeks and I am planning on it!!!!!! 250 7/4 Gonna Happen!!

    Kate.... Good for you to set a goal. You can do it - I Believe!!!

    Christine... OH Baby.. you are so close to Onderland... and you are basically tied with IAN.... oh... gotta beat him to it (Sorry Sheriff!) LOLOLOL

    Nona.... Now I know what you mean... I too have a surgical scare on my right side of belly (from 30 years ago when they cut you from stem to stern for surgery on the gall bladder) and after your mention.. I am going to watch that scar as I have an indent too just to the right of my belly button and I am thinking it is not as indented too?! WOW... A marker to watch and observe... I thank you for talking about it!

    HAPPY DAY ALL!!!!

    Wannaskipandlaugh - My original goal was 185 for this challenge but I'm not sure I'll lose 7 pounds between now and 4th of July.... so I modified to 189....maybe I could hit 185???? So indecisive...

  • thank you Lulu and Sue =) Im really happy to finally be out of the 200s. Its been a very long journey to get here. After a traumatic event in 2008, I gained around 70 pounds in the span of a year. Then during my senior year of college, I decided to join weight watchers. I lost 43 pounds, but after graduating and moving back home, I had a really hard time adjusting to my "new" life and eating right, and by April of this year, I had gained back 23 pounds. Im happy I didnt gain it all back, but it still was so frustrating and I felt like it was impossible for me to get healthy again. Then I literally woke up one day, and thought to myself that Id never get healthy if all I did was cry about hard it was going to be so I started posting on this site and began my atkins WOE and now Ive lost almost 30 pounds in the past couple months. So now Im smaller than Ive been in YEARS!! I dont think I would have kept going on this journey without the support of you guys. =) So long story short, I love this site, and low carb living, and you guys are awesome and a pivotal part of my success =)
  • Still riding 192 - hoping to see a new number in the next few days!! Really want to break into the 180s - that's a big deal for me - I will change my ticker at 188 and add my true goal weight that everyone watched me struggle to figure out - 150 doesn't seem like such a demon anymore and actually seems attainable now - took me a long time to wrap my mind around it!! Staying on plan - my sister makes a mean chicken salad and my brother in law made the best ceasar salad the other night (no croutons for me!!) My mom started to eat low carb with us - it wasn't until this road trip that I realized how many carbs she eats!!! Very eye opening!! When I go home I am going to make another batch of faux potato salad.....

    happierme88Right back at ya!!! The support of this forum keeps me on the straight and narrow!!
