Here at McSkinneys, our mission is to motivate, support and lose those pounds & inches. We must keep those Loozing Floozies losing!!

Feel free to join our group of wonderful ladies. Come on in.....Give us YOUR motivation,support and ideas. We would love to have you!!

I'm not at my goal yet but I'm trying to switch to a maintenance
mindset for a while, maybe for the rest of the summer, and then
diet again hardcore in the fall. In some ways maintenance
is harder than losing. I can't
believe I'm saying that, but I guess I became over-dependent on
strict rules, and also I was really taking advantage of the
appetite suppression that happens with ketosis and low-carb diets.
So I'm working on this adjustment, but my appetite is really
strong. Some days I'm pretty naughty, especially if I'm
sleep-deprived. I'll be so incredibly angry at myself if I gain weight.
But I don't feel so hopeless about it because now I'm more confident
I know how to lose weight if I need to. The quality-of-life price tag
is pretty high, which is why I'm not working on it now, but it's
available to me if my weight gets out of control.

Cheryl-I loved your stop message on #22.

Debbie-Good for you on the WI!

Lisa-Look how far you have come with your weight loss. You will do it, remember, this is a lifetime change.

Thanks, Shelley. Ya know, in the five years I've been here, I don't remember our group ever being this untalkitive!

Broken computers and wedding plans are keeping some usual talkers away.....

Don't know about the rest of us!

Lisa, glad you posted. I think it's a good idea to switch to a maintainance mindset even though your not at goal! You should really check out the maintainers fourm here--there's LOTS of great advice!

School starts next week. Can't say I'm excited about it yet. Maybe Monday a.m. at 6 it'll kick in? Doubt it though--I'm still burnt out!

Hmmmm.......

I swear the other day I was up to 2,000+ posts, because I read it and I was thinking that the last 1,000 went by really quickly!! The first 1,000 took YEARS--and it seems like just yesterday that I was bragging about my 1,000th post!

Now I'm back to less than 2,000. Weird.

Of course, I could just be going crazy

Cheryl-What does holf mean on the thread starter?

Good Morning Eveyone.

I am here. Sometimes lurking, but also being very busy. Sounds like eveyone is hanging in there. Congrats to the losers. Each pound lost is a cause for celebration.

I have been doing pretty this week. Staying on track this time.. Hopefully forever!!!

Maintenance has always been my downfall, so great going Lisa. I know you are going to to it!

Gotta work this morning, so I better scoot.
Hugs to all and Have a Wonderful Day!

Finished one class on Thurs. and the next one starts on Monday. No break! Looking forward to August and having two weeks off! Then I go back to get ready for Sept. I know what you mean about burn out Cheryl!
I'm still in my cleaning spree. I have the bedroom all tore apart and waiting for the carpet to dry so I can put the bed back together! Then I can finish in there. It is so "furry" from the cats! I love my cats, but wish they were bald!!

Where is everyone? It has been so quiet here. Guess everyone's lives are crazy for now!

I lost .5 on my WI Not a big deal.

holf=Home of the Loozing Floozies.

Doing good here. Still on track although the weight isn't coming off as fast as I had hoped. But down 3 from my stinking 145.5! Will update my ticker soon. I rather liked the 140 better, but should get there in another week or so, then it will REALLY be all down hill from there!

Everyone have a great weekend. I'm off to buy some shorts for my trip to Hawaii.

Yay, Allison on the WI!! Duh!! I couldn't figure holf out

(maybe not in that order!)

CHERYL! OH my goodness!!! Are you preggers?????? Auntie Gayle is sooooooo excited if you are!!!!! Please don't keep me wondering long!!

Yup

Just got the little + yesterday. (I hope it wasn't a false positive!! Does that happen!? I'd be so embarassed and disappointed!)

Congrats! False negatives are seen more often than false positives (if I remember correctly).
