  • Quote: Went to WI today expecting either .5 or nothing because I never lose after a weekend, I always lose at the end of the week.

    But nope, 1.5 down! since Friday, which is really great for me who averages 1.98 right now. AND this meant 50 lb board + 1!

    Goodbye to those 51 lbs, I won't miss you one bit.
    What a wonderful surprise!! That is a huge accomplishment.... and I am sure you feel wonderful with your dedication and success. What a great way to start out the week.

  • WI last night lost another 2 lbs to but me at 70lbs loss and I got to sign the board. Next goal is to get below 200 lbs. I am over halfway to my goal of 160 lbs.

    Wow! that is impressive! What a huge accomplishment, I'll bet the difference is tremendous. You're done with the hardest part which is the setting of the habits and lifestyle, I hope it's smooth sailing for you from here on out.

  • WOO HOO to all of you big losers!!
  • Somedays I hate my job....I am a house manager at a drug rehab center, I cook dinner for the residents there as well. Yesterday, I had to make a birthday cake. Caramel, with caramel frosting. I took one teeny tiny tasted of the frosting! I think it will keep me out of ketosis for several months! AHHHHH ! Somedays are just so hard! Its only been 2 and a half weeks or so on MRC (kind of) and yesterday all I wanted to do was eat! I didnt but I wanted to!!!! I did have take out grilled chicken, while my hubby stuffed his face with fried chicken, fries and chicken wings and though mine was good - if looks could kill he would have had little tiny daggers stuck in his head!!! BAH....so today is another day and I am chanting I THINK I CAN I THINK I CAN....
  • Ooh that has to be hard, cooking for other people while staying on program. BUT YOU CAN DO IT, YES YOU CAN!! Just keep chanting, just keep chanting...<said in my best Dory voice>

    Way to go!!! I'm soooo proud of you. When I was doing MRC the first time, I had to cook separate meals for my DH.. It was hard but it can be done with the help of willpower and you sound like you have a heck of a lot... Keep up your hard work and it WILL pay off...
  • Stupid mother nature - darn cycle always makes me gain! Up .5, but oh well - it's better than my past two months where my cycle had me up over 1 lb.
  • so its been 2 weeks for me, is it possible to be at a plateau already!!!!
  • Finally moving down again - over half way there now!
  • I stayed the same today at weigh-in. That makes this week only a 1/2 pound loss!! I hate to feel discouraged, but with all my efforts I should be seeing the scale going down at a steady rate and it simply isn't. It is making me feel like I want to go ahead and enjoy that glass of wine that I haven't had in 3 months!!!!..... not that I will ....since the guilt alone would take any pleasure I would have had away.
    Here's hoping to a loss on Monday's weigh-in.
    Have a great weekend everyone.
