Anyway I am feeling kind of giddy - love these breakthroughs!
Way to go!! Almost choked on my tea as I pictured you walking and the pants falling down. LOL...
I had the strange phenomenon of increasing furniture size too. It was as if my couch grew over night!

Only 75 pounds thank you for noticing I said in my head...... Ok, ok back to the thrift store I go ! ha ha !
Also, I put myself on a no restricted's for a week or two. I will be phasing off at the end of October before I go to Cuba, and I'm going to try to kick things up a bit from now till then.
Have a great day everyone !
NICE!
I am sure you will get even more comments once you get the smaller clothes.
Cuba! WOW! I have always wanted to check that place out. What is taking you there? Vacation or something else?

As a bonus.. I'll be starting a new job shortly - the whole exam/interview thing paid off Will be a nice promotion too! Yay me!
That is so fantastic!! Breaking into the 200's must feel great. I probably wouldn't know whether to be crying or stop grinning. Congratulations on making such a great change to your habits and your health!
I am so glad your husband was there to celebrate with you. Nothing makes that moment better than sharing it with someone when it happens!
Congrats too on the new job! You must be feeling on top of the world!

So far I've managed to not cheat, though with being sick I've pretty much had to force myself to eat. I've been dealing with the Big C lately and I think TOM will be rearing its ugly head soon as well. I feel like a bloated, snotty, piece of crap. So with all that I'm up 3 pounds according to my scale, maybe it has a lot to do with TOM and being sick.. but it's not very encouraging I can tell ya that.
I will say one thing... all the IP packets I have that I really didn't like.. are getting used up lol. When you can't taste it, you can't complain about it.
I am sorry you feel so bad. It isn't easy. I was sick on my 10th week and I know it was hard. I think you are doing a great job and SUCH a smart idea to use up those packets you don't like now.
Good thinking. Don't worry about the gain, it will disappear when your body is feeling better and TOM has gone again.

I pray that everyone has a wonderful IP day.
Blessings to you all,

Wishing you a beautiful day and a Spectacular weigh in! I truly hope you get to the 136 you want!

This is still less than I've weighed in about 8 years.
Hope everyone has a wonderful IP day!
WOW! 8 years! Isn't it strange how losing weight almost has a "going back through time" feeling to it! Great job! I am sure you must be so happy with yourself and your results.

Congratulations on the scale results! I remember I would just stare at those numbers and think it was so remarkable to be back at those numbers so fast! I hope this factors in to your having a great day!

It really keeps it going for me.
Welcome Back! That is a great weigh in for one month in!! WOW! You must be doing something right. Congratulations!
