Well weight in day was yesterday. I stayed the same. I worked out was on plan. I was so looking forward to dropping something. Well today is another day and I must continue or I fail. So pushing forward today and always...
Isn't there some kind of a locking mechanism? Sheesh. Saturday and Monday were bad days. And it's not like I even enjoy them, other than the actual eating time (which I don't even always enjoy either). But I'm ready to take another run at the gates. I'm a pound up from last Friday's WI. Maybe I can make some progress today.
Auntie G, congrats on the release of another
Happy belated birthday, Satine!
Mez, as long as you keep on doing right it'll come off.
Well I was back on track yesterday so that made me feel good so now I guess I can turn things around and start chipping away at these last 18 pounds are so that are keeping me from being in Onederland...
Lets make October and great weightloss month for us all !!!!!
Hi all! Well, I had to break down and get out some long pants since it's gotten chilly out, and lo and behold, the ones in the drawer were too big. Yay! So I had to dig deeper into the attic storage of things I'd grown out of... I probably don't really need to go shopping for a long, long time, but whenever I finally make it to Onederland, I'm buying something!
Mez, yep, just keep pushing onward and downward!
Arabella, hope you're making progress. A locking mechanism sounds like a brilliant idea, but as long as every day's not a bad day, things will improve!
Carri, yay for a new month! September was not a good losing month for me, for sure. October's got to be a good one! Stay on that track!
Arabella - Your right I was just having another darn it moment.
Satine - Sounds like you jumpped right on to that train. Good for you!
Auntie g - Congrats on having to find smaller clothes. It's starting to get cold here also. (Iowa) I recall trick er treating in waist deep snow and the only thing I was upset about was no one could see my cool costume since I had to have my winter coat, boots, hat, mitten and scarf on. lol
Yesterday did my 4 miles and abs workout and today is pilates and I'm not sure what I will mix it with. I'm thinking Tai Chi since I just bought the dvd and I loved it. I'm still working out a system for my workouts. I do all of them at home. I'm not ready for a gym membership.
And chugging along. I was up .6 at WW this morning. Those two bad days caught up with me. I'm proud of myself for going to WI anyway, because it's been my habit to skip when I hadn't lost. And that can get to be a slippery slope, let me tell you. I've got two WI books that show me losing and then ... nothing recorded. Sometimes for a very long time. The books go back over two years. And I think if I'd gone to my meetings, come **** or high water, I would never have let it slide like that. So I'm making a hard and fast rule that I've got to go no matter what.
Mez, I just went to my first tai chi class in a couple of years last night. Man, the number of things I thought I was doing right that weren't. Great stuff, though.
Auntie g, congrats on the "new" pants! I'm finding that everything I wore in the spring is getting big around the hips on me. The bad thing is that stuff that was flattering because it skimmed me now looks shapeless. But I don't think I'll try to fill it out again.
Carri, YEAH! We've got pretty much the whole month of October ahead of us. We can really get somewhere.
One more pound down today. I know I should be satisfied with that, especially since I ate a terrible, but delicious breakfast yesterday. Instead of my normal bran flakes and light soy milk, I had a full fledged bacon and cheese omelet. Mmmmmm... But I am getting disgusted with how long it's taking to get to Onederland! I guess I really will have to start exercising.
Mez, keep at those workouts! I know for sure that's the missing ingredient for me.
Arabella, for weighing in, even suspecting you were up. You're absolutely right, when you skip a week it makes it so easy to skip the next week, and the next...
OK, it's time to get serious! The holiday season will be here any minute now and that will only make it harder. October has GOT to be a good one!
Maybe I'm not allowed to post here anymore since I crossed over...but every time I see this thread come up...I can't resist checking in and seeing how you ladies are progressing!
And of course I have to congratulate my old friend auntieg on the smaller clothes! Feels great doesn't it! You are so close! I am sure you will cross over this week!
Carrie You have a great attitude going into October! Keep it up and you will loose big this month.
Arabella It takes someone who is determined to face reality and overcome obstacles to weigh in after a bad week. Keeping yourself that accountable will keep calories out of your mouth and get your body moving when you don't want to! Bravo!
mezmerize Your workout routine is inspiring! All I can say is WOW!
You all are doing so great! I'm sure I will see you in Onederland soon! Hopefully before the holiday temptations hit!
Oh, Djay! I give you permission to stop holding the door, and move along on your journey! It's taking me forever to break that barrier! I'm still hoping that it will happen this week, but oh, this is so frustrating! You're doing great, just sailing right along! You can keep posting here- I know I can use the inspiration!
We had dinner with friends, always a hazard. I seem to do fine at home. I have a couple of glasses, occasionally three but almost never more. I'd love to get that one beat. I just feel like I'm tired today and I'd love to be full of energy.
Did get in almost 13000 steps already though and at least I didn't go off-plan other than too much wine.
Auntie G! congrats on the fluffy release -- OMG, you're right at the border. Could be any day now!
Djay, oh please stop in any time! You're always welcome and we can always use the encouragement of seeing your smiling face beckoning us to Onederland.
Hi all! Well, I didn't make it yet, but I had to buy a pair of jeans. I only had one pair that fit now, so unless I wanted to wear sweats every single day, I had to bite the bullet. Good news is they are size 16 misses. Misses! The last pair I bought in the spring were 20 women's. So, there's definitely something to be happy about! Have to go have birthday cake tonight, so that's not helpful, but it's my sister's 40th, so I gotta do what I gotta do...
Arabella, a little wine is healthy, right? All those extra steps ought to burn that right off.
Hi Girls...sorry I have been MIA for the last few days...I was still sticking to plan just lazy on the computer I guess...I had those few bad days last week around my birthday and I think I finally have them off but it has taken me all week to get that excess 2 pounds off that I gained...I weigh in today at work and I hope I can just break even, not gain or lose, but we will see...
Sorry I have missed alot to do personal comments but did want to say a BIG CONGRATS to TigerChic for seeing 197 !!!!
Take care everyone, I agree that we need to make October a great one, for those of you that are within 5-10 pounds of Onederland you could get to it this month....good luck to us all !!!
AuntieG - it did not go well...I weighed myself at home and I was up only 0.6 but on her scales it showed I was up 2 pounds !!! I still think even with that gain I am in the lead but I wont know for another couple of weeks, our last weigh in is this coming Tues so I need to be on it this week and exercise to get off those two pounds a maybe another.
I usually have my cheat meal on Tues nights after I weigh in so I had my pizza last night...and I am so bloated today...and thirsty...and I had heartburn last night during the night...I only have it when I have my cheat meal, cause its cause I eat too much, ha ha
Let's make this one count!
Back on the track
I know for sure that's the missing ingredient for me. 
for weighing in, even suspecting you were up. You're absolutely right, when you skip a week it makes it so easy to skip the next week, and the next...
and that will only make it harder. October has GOT to be a good one!
Too much wine last night
