Congrats on your half-pound, Andrea :flow1: Every bit counts ... Glad your back is better!

aww thanks!

you know what? spoke too soon. its hurtin now:(

prob wont make my 5 week goal buty i will take 5, and im only 3 away so i think i can do it.

Andrea, considering that you'd lost quite a few pounds the three weeks before you started with me, I think whatever you lose is great! :) As long as that scale is going down ... that's how I'm trying to think.

Feel better ...

A quiet Saturday.

Andrea
Sorry to hear about you back hurting once again. Feel better soon.


babe
I see you are still holding at 223. That's very good.

I've been on a binge. I'm eating everything in sight. I think the reason is that my blood tests came back good in the cholesterol. The doctor wanted me to get it down to at least 100 due to heart disease in my family history. The LDL was 76. I felt like celebrating. Going to quit this starting tomorrow.

Been doing a mini exercise marathon to burn more calories. However it didn't work that way. Five minutes out of every hour was not enough. I'm going to do some more in a few minutes. I've also worked in the yard for 60 minutes. It was a beautiful day.

Official Sunday Weigh-In
 

:sunny:

How the 14th day went ...

1650 calories (sausage mc-muffin, banana, apple, blue cheese dressing, Vege-wich in pita, wine, fig newtons, tea)

Scale: STILL holding at 226 lbs. (down from 231)

Exercise: 45 minute walk

Really had hoped to see scale drop today, but the vege-wiches had a ton of raw veggies with seasoned salt poured on so I know I'm holding lots of water. Maybe tomorrow ... :?:

ceejay, glad to hear about your good cholesterol count! Are you doing it with a statin drug or just changing your diet? Several people in my family have taken statins to get theirs down, but they had side-effects so I won't take them.

Everybody, have a great Sunday! It's a beauty of a weekend here. :)

hi guys!

thanks babe. yep thats hopw im trying to look at it. i purposely joined in this b/c i find if i set high expectations, i can usually pull out at least half.

ceejay- sorry about your binging. i have that too sometimes but you know what? do not wait---make your next bite OP! and believe it or not, it makes a differnce! good luck!

my back is better today thank god.

:sunny:

How the 15th day went ...

1650 calories (vege-wich, pork chop, cabbage, squash, cookies, wine)

Exercise: None

Scale: No weigh-in today

Andrea, glad your back is better! Ceejay, Sandra, Nascar ... hope you're all doing well! Drop in soon! :)

hi babe

youre doin awesome! have you reached your 10 yet?

ceejay hows the eating? i passed up a huge hot pretzel in sams today--ssooooooo hard!

morning ladies,
Sorry I've been mia for this past week. Just don't seem to have a lot of time.

Andrea
You did good passing up that hot pretzel.

Babe
You'll hit that 226 mark before long. I'm not on cholesterol medication
but I am taking fish oil and I have been watching my fat grams. Now I need to watch my carbs and sugar.

Today's goal is to drink at least 80 oz of water and exercise for 45 minutes.

hi ceejay!

I'm still hanging in there. Think I've been a bit depressed, but I'm bouncing back. Good luck with the weigh in. I need to set myself I'm not sure about the calories some new guidlines
