  • Quote: Staja - I love brussels sprouts so much they will never leave my house!!
    Sue - Getting there!! so happy for u!!!
    Mara - Yes I saw eggplant chips on pinterest that I thought they were interesting!!!
    Mainecyn - Yahoo! on down!! Can't wait to join you!! I haven't seen the 170 anythings for 10 years!! so looking forward to it!!

    Rain yesterday so no exercise outside - need to get moving!!
    Thank you Lulu. I haven't seen the 170's for quite some time. I used to just stall out in this area and gave up years ago of the idea every getting below them. I have buckled down and watching carbs and calories to get this pesky binge eating activity under control-I never purged, but I would eat thousands and thousands of calories in a sitting and do it all day any chance I got when I was alone. It had never been so bad in my entire life. Today, this day, I am THANKFUL that I seem to be in control for the first time in years. That I haven't fallen into that hole of eating and self hate.

    SW 175
    GW 168
    CW 172 stepped on the scale dressed this morning but still saw a change. Slowly going down. The scale kept going back and forth between 171 and 172, actually it was more of I couldn't tell which line the needle was actually on.
  • Nothing new to report - 2 days no walking outside - I was on the road all day yesterday so today is a must to get outside - I am going to try to walk this morning and this afternoon. Baby girl will probably go with me this afternoon!!

    My son is home from school for the weekend and my husband plans to cut wood with him - I absolutely hate/am slightly terrified of the chainsaw!! so being away from the house for a while is a good thing today!!

    Baby girl had a physical yesterday and talked to her provider about portion control so I will be bringing her to a dietician - provider says I have to go too as I am the main "buyer" for the house!! I would be going anyway because I want to support her!! Worried because I think I will get negative feedback on Atkins - even though both of my docs are supportive!!.....(Very proud of my daughter for taking action - she wants this for herself!!)

  • Everything is mighty fine because today I am 179!!!!!! It's official I have made my Thanksgiving goal of 170 anything!!! Hoping I can see another pound or two before Thanksgiving!! (Ok 1 pound is the most realistic for this slow loser but I can dream can't I!!!!) This feels as good as Onederland!!!

    Not using the elliptical today because my thighs are so sore I want to give my legs a rest...

    Wishing everyone a downdowndown day!!!

    PS. I just realized it took me about 6 months to go from 199 to 179 so I really shouldn't expect to lose any faster....a true exercise in patience!!!
  • YAY and LULU! congrats on the "new" decade Ms Patience.. you did it! YAY and

    Sum.. so very glad to see you again.. I was wondering why I had not seen you... I know how you feel... My heart is not in it right at this moment and I want to disappear for awhile..

    Kellybean... YOU are melting! You are showing me what I used to be like... losing faster... now its slower.. I am thrilled for you!

  • Sue - First -Thank you so much for all of your support!!! Second - for both you and SUM -shake it off and keep going - I know it is hard sometimes to keep going!!!

    Even if the "keep going" is maintaining the loss you have right now!! and then re-focusing later!! We can all get fatigued creating new habits!!

    Sue when you go grocery shopping and walk down the baking aisle - look at the 5 pound bags of sugar - you have lost 14.6 bags!! What an awesome feat!!! that's a lot that you are not carrying around with you anymore!!! I don't even know how I would carry the 9 bags of sugar I have lost and it makes me thankful I don't have to anymore!!!

    Kelly/Staja/Mara -Wishing you a downdowndown day!!!
  • Thank you so much for the reminder LULU I needed and appreciated that very much I am also so tickled for you to be in the 170's THE 170's!!!!! Hooray!
