Hey girls! Got a great non scale victory today. Slipped on my wedding band! It went past my knuckle! Still snugg. But I have not been able to wear it in 2 years!

Mornin ladies...

to all the "losers" That's great!! I'm down a total 6lbs from start date of June 11th and 4 3/4 inches..woot woot. I go in for my weigh in again today before we leave town for the week-end.I'm nervous for this week-end, afraid I'm gonna gain a pound or two again like I did on father's day week-end, and I didnt even eat that bad or that much.

I'm really fighting my cravings this week, I want chinese so badly and chips and dip.I almost fell a few times but I came on here and beat my cravings.

Good luck ladies and see you all when we get back home.

Isabel

Yay!!! Julia.. thats great news.

TMo I am glad you went back and even lost a pound. Just stay with the girl you like and you will do great.

Headgirl Thanks for the motivation. I hope I can stick with it this weekend.. We are having a pot luck dinner on Saturday.. Ohhhh so many good things to eat. If I over eat I always take 2 sugar blockers and it doesn't reflect on the scale the next time I go in.. They are great.. Not sure about the Fat blockers though I haven't tried them.

Isabel You are doing fantastic.. I found when I first started I was always craving something.. And wanting to eat after dinner.. Now I can seem to stay away from it.. I do have a Free exchange bar with coffee when I am craving and it really fills me up..

Wellllllll (insert drumroll) I am past my 230's.... Yipppeee.. I weighed in at 229 today. This is a great milestone for me since I haven't been this low since ..... I can't even remember..
So off I go now.. Hope you all have a great weekend and good weight loss...
Byeeeeeee

Thanx Trudy..I'll definately keep the bars in mind.

I spedwalked to HM today and I was down almost a half a pound wooo wooo.I'm setting a little goal to be down 10lbs by Thursday next week...3 more lbs to reach that. I dont want to give myself to high or I might not reach it.I gave myself from June 16 to june 26. Then I'll start all over.

Congrats on everybody losing, its awesome!!!! Well better go be back Sunday hopefully the same or LESS NOT MORE

Keep Positive!

Ok, I went in on Friday and I finally moved that 5lb star over to the 10 lb wall!!! Actually, I am down 12 lbs!!! I lost 2.6 from Wed to Friday. All the drama made me lose weight, maybe that was her plan. LOL
I am feeling really good, and really slim! I pulled out some clothes (Size 14)from last summer that I wasn't able to get past my hips in April. I was able to get quite a few pieces on. Some are still snug, but I got them past my evil hips! What great motivation. I bought a pair of capris in a size 12 and hung them in my closet. I WILL fit into them by end of July!! They are white linen. Very expensive. I stayed away from white on the bottom in the past because it makes you look even larger!!
I'm getting lots of golfing in and I think that is making the difference. It's great excercise (I always walk the course) for me. I am not a person who sweats a lot and by the time I am finished 9 holes, I need a shower.

I bought a new bathroom scale and I think that has made a huge difference in my mental game. My old scale weighed heavy by about 1.5 - 2 lbs. I always felt fat when I got on it. This new one (by Weight Watchers) weighs very close to what the center scale weighs. I went to Walmart right after my HM visit, took off my shoes and jacket, pulled 5 scales out of their packages and bought the one closest to what I just weighed in at. I got a lot of funny looks, but hey, I am much happier getting on the damn scale. LOL

I set another mini goal of 15 lbs total loss by this Friday. So fingers crossed I reach it. 2 lbs in 5 days... should be OK, but my track record isn't that great when it comes to mini goals.
I wish I could weigh in naked!!!

Everyone's doing so great! Trudy, WTG!! Isabel, sounds like you are on track for success! Keep at it.

Talk to you all Wednesday!

TMo

Well what a week-end..We went away to my hubby's aunt and uncles in Burlington and then we went to Wonderland, I was good and bad, that wasnt even the worse. We ate supper lastnight, pork chops and baked potato at 4 :30 and by 7pm I was in majour pain up near my ribs, we thought it was heartburn so I took 3 rolaids and then a few minutes later I vomited then drank pepto and a few minutes later vomited again(pain still fierce as ever) and then vomited again. I was on my hands and knees in major pain so then I knew it wasnt heartburn. My hubby took me into the ER and the dr did his exams and said its definately not heartburn its your galbladder.I have to have a xray within the next few days to see if it needs to be removed.He gave me demarol and the pain was still full force so he gave me more then I was higher than a kite*L* and feeling NO PAIN!!! I'm exhausted today and didnt go to work(I'm the boss there) so that helped. I have to wait to see if I need surgery or not.I remember my mom had the same thing she had hers removed a few years ago, she told me today that my grandma(her mom) had hers removed too and one of my brothers told me today that he had to have his removed too, so it runs in our family. I dont feel like eating too much but I have to to keep up with my herbal magic diet.Oh btw I lost .6lbs over the week-end only because of all the vomiting I did due to my galbladder, so thats the only good thing that came out of it all.

Congrats to all the "losers" proud of all of you

I'm getting closer to my first 10lbs off by a certain date which is Thursday the 26th,3 more lbs to go. I better get my butt in gear too.I went for a 2hr walk with my hubby, son, and our golden retriever tonight after our good dinner.I guess thats a good start, I just didnt get in all of my proteins and such like Herbal Magic wants me to do but I will when I start feeling better.

Isabel

Julia-- congrats on the wedding ring!

I was in Toronto the last 5 days and came back to have gained 1.4 and knew it was going to happen eating out non stop for 5 days is not a good thing..So here is to losing the gain this week.

I have lost about 26 inches and 30lbs.. Today is the goal I set back in April, my daughters grad. I wanted to be down 20 and I am down 30 so I should be happy I guess.

I will admit that it is nice to pull out old clothes and them fit, my current clothes need me be wear a belt to stay up and I can go into H&M, American Eagle outfitters and actually fit into their clothes..

Great Job "s

Julia... Ouu lala to Wedding Ring !

Today is way my WI & MM and I Didnt Lose any Inches.. and Down from mon 158.6 to 157.8... better but still 5.5lbs behind... But that's ok because I have come along way !! and AF is coming any time now...GGrrr.... weight gain.

hey everybody...
not down much from yesterday I was 177.0 to 176.6 and my measurements were 4 3/4" down then today its a total 9" down, so not doing too badly, but its hard staying on track with summer here and wanting to eat out on patios and such.They said 10" down is one dress size and ofcourse i missed it by an inch..made me want to jump till I lost it But I have to wait till next wednesday.

Awesome job "losers" proud of yas Keep it up!

Hello to all. So I'm the Newbie. My name's Monica and I'm in Alberta. Joined on Wednesday June 25, started Thursday. First WI today - down 3.6 lbs. I'm good with that!! So I'm going to need help and tips and whatever else you guys can give me. Getting married later this year to my long-time partner and would love to be near to my goal by then, which is down 35 from where I am now. Was always thin (go ahead hate me now) so am really new to this dieting thing. Not sure how well I will do at it, but am going to give it my best.

Love to hear from you guys.

WAY TO GO Christina!!

I'm still the same as yesterday.. guess better than up!!

fit .... it's a awesome place here for Support, making new friends, and supporting others like us.
