Hi Gal's

This is awsome to have thread#2

Thanks Christina for starting this! Sorry to read about losing your grandma. The wedding pics are awesome.

Finally made it into the centre. After 1 full week awol. And I am down! A surprise to say the least. I am now only needing to lose .5 lb to get to my 30 lb goal. I feel better about things this week. Last week I was discouraged mostly because it began to feel like I was fixating on food. Every time I turned around I was thinking about food. What my next good choice would be, posting here and many other things. I think having all the kids home from school and them always thinking and asking for food does not help. But this week I did a complete meal plan. Meals and Snacks on a weekly calender. So there is no thinking. Just make whats on the list.

I have also been exerciseing for 30 min 5 days a week. I think that has slowed down my loss alittle. But Hopefully in the next few weeks I will see the benefits in lost inches.

I am so proud of how well you are all doing!
Have a great evening

Has anyone been on the cla for more than two bottles? What are your results?

Julia...it's funny how we are all different. I find if I am not constantly thinking about what Im going to eat, posting here or reading about it then I go way off track. Ive always been like that...if Im not full force I go by the wayside which is exactly how I ended up gaining 20 lbs in the last year or so. As long as I keep it on good things that is. I can get just as obsessive about chocolate...and that is really not good :o
My counselor told me she used the cla throughout her whole weight loss... I would be interested in finding someone who did the program incorporating the cla partway through and what the results were. Then I'd know the real scoop.

I am so excited the scale was du-tu-da-da 189.4 this am :carrot: ya me!!!!
maybe I will make it to the 10 lbs by my original goal of Friday. Unfortuantely I know this is gonna slow way down real quick soon...so I'll just ride this wave for now hehe

Afternoon ladies!!

As you all know, I've been having problems with my galbladder and having majour attacks and being really worn out and now since my immune system is down all this time, I keep getting sick with everything thats going around here. I've had real bad stomach cramps and diarreah on and off and now I have a head cold, makes my body and ears ache and my throat is sore too.

I went for my ultrasound yesterday and she took over 60 photos and my dr's appt is the 22nd and hopefully the dr will say take it out.

I went in to my wi today and told her that I really dont care if I'm up or down, I just want to stop being sick, she said I looked like crap :D I already knew that.

She then weighed me and measured me and I was down 2.2 Lbs and another 4 3/4" so I now weigh 172.4 and 20 3/4" down :woohoo: so now I have to make sure I keep it all off even though too weak to excercise, I cant remember the last time I did. Well I better go and sleep, I came home early from work(thank god I'm the boss).

Congrats to us losers :hug:

Isabel :carrot:

Isabel - Keep resting and doing more relaxing activities such as a garden stroll or streches if you are able. Nothing that takes long 5-10 mins maybe be twice a day. That way you still feel like you are accompishing something and not feel guilty. I hope your not feeling any guilt. Just take care of yourself and do what you can safely do.

Okay WI yesterday was up 2.8!!! YUCK. I guess that is what a 10 day holiday of eating out all the time will get you. Hopefully today will be better. Hoping for down on the scale today. Even .5 would be nice before we leave again on Friday. How do you guys do it when you are away and not eating at home?

Sexyness.......

I was wondering about u as I had been keeping up with your posts. Im sorry to hear about your cold too. I may be boo'd out of here for this but honestly hun u need to look after you. You need lots and lots of rest...and whatever will stay in your stomach. You definetly need to keep your strength up if it comes to surgery....and you sure wont be exercising then. I think its admirable that you are still worried about weight loss but in all honesty its better to be fat and healthy then skinny and half dead.

just my 2 cents:)

Fit...

Really all you can do when you eat out is try and stick as close as possible to your plan and portion control....most restaurants give you 2-4 portion sizes. Its ok to take some home or leave some on your plate.

This is going to be my challenge tomorrow night. Every Friday hubby and I go to mess for free food. Its our cheap date night lol. I dont have to cook and we get to be alone. Well tomorrow is wing night mmmmm

p.s. congrats fit...Im sure I would be up more than that after a 10 day holiday eep!!!!

Hi there,

This is my second go at it. (I had joined in 2003 before I got married and had great success....I lost 35 lbs.) It seems like this time it is a little slow. I hope to share great tips, information and experiences with you guys.....

WELCOME MelaniePP & nessalee !:hug:

CANT WAIT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOU AND TO GET TO KNOW YOU !
AND WATCH YOU lOSE WEIGHT !! :carrot:

So last night was badddd....have no idea why but had a major headache and was VERY moody.:?:

So I had some battered fish and 3/4 of a family chocolate bar like what the ****.

Weigh in this am was 189.2 So still down somehow but man I have no idea what happened ...came out of nowhere!!!

Welcome girls!!! look forward to reading your posts!

Oopppsss...

I guess I should give a little more information about myself...

Name: Melanie
Location: Ontario
Start Weight: 272.4
Goal Weight: 150

Current weight: 266.8

I am starting my 3rd week and I already feel like I am at a stand still.....I just don't understand :?:

Melanie...
did u talk to the counsellors at the center about this?? did they have any suggestions about ur meal plans etc? Sometimes they will change it up if you are not losing. Are u making sure to weigh ur foods?
Dont forget also that while some people have big losses at the start not everyone does...your loss is at 6lbs and u are starting week 3,,,,thats still on track!!!:D

Thanks Tulip for the advice. I'll try to keep myself from eating everything on my plate (except perhaps all my salad haha).

On the up side of things - WI yesterday was down 1.4 so Iguess things are looking better and also down 4.5 inches. Apparently all the golfing and curling (yes I said curling - in the summer - an absolute blast!!) must have worked off some inches. So I am hopefully going to see the pound loss to go with that in the next few days.

Okay off I go - getting anew fridge today and have to empty out the old one. Figure new foods call for a new fridge, right?
