  • Hey all, I have been out of town so I haven't really been on here cause I couldn't weigh in. I got in a couple hours ago and immediately stepped on the scale to see if there had been much damage. I ate as best as I could but since I didn't know how things were prepped I am sure i wasn't fully op.

    11/29 - 251.6
    11/30 - 249.4
    12/01 - 248.0

    12/03 - 246.3
    12/04 - 246.3
    12/05 - 245.2

  • back and really trying to stick with it
    Hi everyone,
    I am back after MANY months and am trying hard to stick with it and see long lasting results. I recognize many of your names and remember your kind support in the past. It is good to be amongst friends again. How inspiring to see you continuing your journey to health!
    Your willpower and determination are amazing!!
    I think it would be beneficial to start now rather than wait until the 1st. The sooner the better, right?
    Here it is: starting at 240 .......ashamed of myself and to say it out loud!
    Thank you in advance for your support and will be back daily to check in with you all!
    Good luck to each and every one of us!
    PS: I hope that one of your wonderful people will continue a thread after January 1st. I think that visiting the forum helps me with the accountability aspect of it plus it motivates me to "be good!"
  • Welcome back futurehealthyme!!!!!! i'm in the 240's too but if we keep it up this will be the last time we see that number
  • Welcome back Futurehealthyme!! Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!! Fat = fat, fat doesn't = good or bad!! We will have a thread after this one probably a Valentine's Day one!!

    Worked out already today - continuing my fake it til I make it strategy!! Scale did not move but I really think it is going to happen soon! I'll be on the road so I can't weigh again until Wednesday!!

    Wishing everyone a great day!!!
  • Welcome back to you journey Futurehealthyme! Very glad to see you and to have you join us! We are all here together and COOINKYDINKY there are 4 of us in the 240's.. You, Pixikat, Mara and me! WOO HOO 230's will happen by or in January!

    Pixikat.. it is so good to see you and I was wondering how the Zombie Run went! I am so sorry it was cold... but maybe eliminating the water stuff was good!.. I hope you have alot of fun!

    Lulu... Wish you safe travels!

    Me.. I am up a tick boooo

  • Very proud of myself this weekend.

    My mom is on Atkins and I got my best friend on Atkins as well! She is so excited and wouldn't stop talking about how educational this diet is on what foods are good and bad. So happy to introduce her to a better and healthier way of life.

    I used to get really bad stomach aches but haven't touched my tums at work since I started this back up again.

    Went to a concert with my best friend on Friday and we definitely helped keep each other on track. She said she wanted a beer and I said I wasn't going to drink but if they had vodka maybe I'd get a vodka water. Then she remembered we really aren't supposed to drink. We both stayed good and had hot dogs

    It paid off since I lost another lb! Down to 148.

    This is probably TMI but I haven't gone number 2 in quite a while (at least 3 days). Should I be worried?
  • ugh. I haven't' stepped on the scale as i am terrified of what I've done to myself since Thanksgiving vacation. I am just hoping to drop whatever I have gained, and at least return to 167. I will wait till I am brave enough to step on the scale to post stats.
  • Weight is up, down up, down...the same few pounds! I figure, at least I'm not gaining!

    Sue: you are doing amazing and come so far! Keep it up and the extra water weight will slide right off!

    Lindsay: I've been drinking Smooth Move tea once a week or so, when I have issues in that area. It cam happen if you aren't eating enough fiber or getting enough water.
