Wake Up!!!!!

Good Morning ALL:

Lettie: Give us an update on DH! Is everything O.K.? Hope So. I was thinking about you two this weekend.

Morning everyone

So no big change today, i'm only down 4oz from last Monday which i'm a bit upset about it since i've been really good about staying POP. Its too soon in the weight loss for me to slow down. I was going good for a bit but dont know if this has anything to do with TOM who hasnt shown up yet. Anyway i put the scale away so i dont weigh myself all the time and get disappointed. I'll take it out next monday and hopefully i will see some change. I Hope everyone else is having a better monday.

Lettie - How is everything going with your DH? Are you feeling better from your fall?

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone! It is going to be a skinny week!

I have a challenge to all of you. I want everyone to list 5 things that they love about their body right now, not in 50 lbs or so, but now, today.

Here we go!

1- I am very flexible
2- My immune system is as strong as steel
3- I am small and petite
4- My body is strong
5- My body is healthy

Come on everyone, even all of you lurkers, show us your 5! This is an exercise in loving ourselves now!

Good morning! Here's to a fantastic OP week!

Great idea, Katie ... here's my list ...

1. I am starting to see more definition in my arms and legs from the exercise
2. I have an hourglass figure -- no matter what my weight is
3. I am tall, and carry my weight better than most
4. I have a beautiful complexion and very soft skin
5. I've got a great rack!

thanks guys. actually I put the update on a different thread. Go read the thread for "Blastomycosis"

one of the mornings this past week I weighed in at 201.6 that is lower than I have been in years. but the appetite is coming back some. so ...... not still that low.

Hi Friends!

Lettie-thanks for sharing everything in the other post. We are here for you!

Stephanie-I'm with you I just can't shake being PPOOOOOOOOOP....ugh-it's like a vicious cycle, no results on the scale=bad eating=bad mood=bad eating=no results on the scale and so on an so forth!!

I'm so proud of those of you who are on the right track with losing or maintaining but for those of us who are just plain over it- we need to START FRESH! Like we are just starting all over again. Get your plans out, get your journals out and let's get to it. I've been pouting and eating all weekend and it just feels miserable and ridiculous. I know what I have to do-I just need to get over this next hurdle and get back in the groove.

I was TOMing which is no excuse, but it did hit me hard. Dbf has been sick with strep throat for days and I'm praying/hoping I don't get it bc we are suppossed to go to disneyland wed-sat with his family!!! I know it will be hard to be POP there-but I've done it before (in july) and it was not that bad at all! When you are in the right mindset you can make any food situation work for you. So anyway, I'm trying to fight off this bug that is going around-and I know eating healthy will only help!

I've decided to do a TO/Fast Forward. I cannot handle the limits of TO so I'm going to follow the 2 day fast forward menu that I did when I first joined LAWL. I don't even care about hte scale at this point-it's more just to get my head back in the game. I wanted to be at my goal by May-yikes! It makes me sad to think that nov, dec, jan, AND feb were months where I struggled to lose a hanful of lbs. I've got to get back into my groove!

Sorry to go on and on. I know you all know where I"m coming from!

Katie-I'm going to try to list 5....
1. I have a nice, naturally defined waist.
2. I carry my weight proportionately.
3. my boobs!
4. I've been blessed with natural rythym-I can dance!
5. I am strong!

Thanks Katie-that was harder than I thought--and it really shouldn't be!

Alright-off to work. It's a new week, a new month and a new attitude! Everyone with me?

Good idea Katie but whew 5 huh?

1. I'm proportionate
2. my boobs.
3. I have muscular legs
4. I'm healthy
5. I have clear skin

Mornin' kids..

Another week, another trip.. This time i'm off to Reno, NV for a conference on wildland urban interface fire and fire prevention... I'm staying at the Grand Sierra Resort. I checked out the eating venues and there's a little cafe that specializes in salads and sandwiches, so I think I'll be spending most of my time there, just to stay out of trouble..

We're getting pretty fires already this year.. I got to be on our local NBC affiliate this weekend to talk about it.. Sorry for the ego boosting moment, but I thought I'd share it:

Go out and make it a great week!!!

Wow I miss a lot when I dont check in! Lettie, SO sorry to hear your hubby is sick. I'll keep you guys in my prayers!

On the diet front, first time in a LONG time that I didnt gain over the weekend. I've found the trick to keeping my eating under control on the weekends, stay so freakin busy I dont have time to eat! LOL
I went with my son to the gym Saturday and wow my muscles are still reminding me it had been a while since I had been! Felt good though!

It was absolutely gorgeous here yesterday made me want warm weather to stay!
Hope everybody has an amazing week!

Whohoo Dan! You're famous! Again! It is fun to see what people look and sound like. We should all have footage of ourselves on You Tube or something!

Yay Dan!! Its nice to see what you look like behind that "step away from the salt" sign.

hi everyone. just wanted to do a quick post to say that i'm back from my trip. i lost about 3lbs while i was there too. so that's good.
got lots of stuff to do today. hope everyone has a good week.

Hi Katie and others. Don't know if you remember me, Sy? Well, I've been trying to stick to WW and it's not working. An online friend mentioned that LAWL has a Feel Full Plan and I'm so interested. Are others on this plan? How's it working? Is there a COD left in Upstate NY?

Katie, this is very hard...

1- I am flexible
2- I'm healthy
3- I don't look as big as I feel (for the most part)
4- My legs are firm from the knees down
5- I have a great hairdresser

Hugs to all, Sy

P.S. Looking forward to posting again...

Hy Sy, great to see you! The feel full plan is the numbered plan, I believe. There are a lot more choices, smaller proteins, more starches and dairy. A lot of folks on here are on it an really like it.

Great lists everyone!
