Hope everyone does well with their WI today...if not you know why...just have to pick upand move on....but I am wishing you all the best of luck!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, Sunflower people haven't stopped commenting on my losses for about the last 6-7 weeks....got another one lastnight...and I NEVER get sick of hearing them....LOL. This one co-worker at work calls myself and a co-worker....the SKINNY BIT*HES....heck I am NEVER been referred to as SKINNY, I'll take it...LMAO. The other girl is doing HM, she started 10 days before I did, and we are neck in neck on the weight loss but I am smoking her in inches, I am down 53.75 inches, she is about 20 behind me. She has less to lose than I, she had 55 to lose, I had 72.

Stepped on my scales this morning and I am back down to 179.6lbs according to them, Going in the right direction!! I don't think we are weighing until Saturday this week, unless Mom wants to go tomorrow.

Well I better go eat my breakfast...not feeling to hungry right now, but it is too long to wait until first break before I eat....almost 4hrs.

Have a great day everyone.

BL

Today my bestfriend came over and we went through my closet and my dresser. I must've given her 3 garbage bags of clothes that are too BIG! I tried everything on before I let her have it, and it sure was bittersweet!! Even my "skinny" clothes that I swear one day would fit, were too big! How awesome is that?! There is not one pair of pants in my closet that are too small, everything either fits perfectly or was way too huge! And the best part....now I get to go shopping!

I also had kind of a sad moment the other day. I can no longer wear my wedding rings as they are way to big. I almost fell right off the other day. Sad that I can't wear them for now, but awesome that my chubby fingers are getting skinnier as well! I've decided that there isn't much point in getting the rings sized until I'm finished. Thats 5 whole months without them!

Going for my weigh in tomorrow morning! I hope it's good to me!

How did everyone else do?

Albertachickie that's awesome! My girlfriend met her goal 8 months ago and just went and had her rings resized because they were too big. Keep up the good work.

I was surprised that I went down again Guess I didn't do too bad at all those Thanksgiving dinners LOL. So I can finally say I'm out of the 160's Down to 158.8 tonight

I haven't worn my wedding rings in a few months either I am wanting to get them resized but want to wait a little while. I don't really think that my fingers will change THAT much more, will they?

i did buy some cheap plastic resizers at the mall that make them smaller for when I REALLY want to wear them

so scared to weigh in tomorrow! fingers crossed Im not up too much! Throwing a question out there...how many people are working out while they are on program? I was pretty regular with training up until mid September and now I can't get motivated to do anything! Im hoping I just need a break from it and will get back to it! So bored with what I have been doing and looking for something new to do!

Has anyone tried Formula S/B or Formula F/B?

My friend who has done awesome on HM swears by them. I bought the S/B tonight as I am going away with the girls this weekend and want to have a couple of extra drinks and we are eating out. These are suppose to help. Just curious if anyone else uses them

Great job everyone! I'm the same weight as the beginning of the weekend, which I think is good considering two big turkey dinners and too much wine. I have a feeling I'll be down tomorrow too.

Skimmy - I try and workout at least a few times a week. I have to admit I lose weight quite easily without working out (maybe it's muscle gain?) but I like it. My fave right now is bootcamps type classes, and I'm getting back into running - my knees are soooo thankful not to be carrying the extra 20+lbs. I may shoot for a half marathon next year.

Sunflower- I'm on relaxatrim and s/b. Taking both I don't know which really help, but it's working for me. I suspect the s/b did help this weekend - I had no right to stay the same with the wine I drank.

Have a great day everyone!

How often do you take the S/B?

If your taking them for a weekend event you should be starting them today. And you should be taking 2 a half hour after breakfast lunch and dinner Providing theres no additional medication your on. If your on any medication and they have told you half dose... 1 1/2 hour after breakfast lunch and supper then thats the doseage.
If your on medication and they didnt specify for you how to take it then you need to call and get it checked out! And you should consider taking them until the monday. ANd get LOTS and LOTS of water the day after the drinking goes on

Urgh, I'm looking for help/motivation this week. I have been stuck at 189 for 2 weeks now. I am getting really frustrated. My 20 lb mark is 185...so I think I have hit my plateau. I've also noticed that little cheats are becoming daily. I had so much motivation in the beginning..but it's starting to slip. I want to start loosing atleast the 2 lbs a week again. Help! Has this happened to any of you?

just keep going two valley... i was stuck and it is awful and stressful.. but its just like a platform on a set of stairs... eventually you'll start going down again.. just might need alittle boost! good luck

i started stabilization yesterday.. an extra starch and an extra fruit!!! its crazy! i don't know how ot eat it all lol.. well have a good day ladies!

Thank goodness....I was only up .4!! which really isnt that bad for a turkey weekend.

TwoValley..... I have gone through the exact same thing. First thing they told me was have all my starches before 4pm, and I cut out the free exchange for a few weeks. I too started cheating here and there when the scale wouldn't move, I stuck with it and the scale moved in about a week.

Unfortunately I am stuck again as well,so I switched to QLP3 today,mostly because I want to get off any pills. Im hoping this will confuse my body into shedding this weight and getting over this plateau AGAIN!

Congrats amgirl!! Stabilization...how exciting!

twovalley- It took me forever to get past the 20lb mark as well, but as amgirl said, just stick with it. Are you doing any exercising? Maybe start incorporating some light exercising. Skimmy has some good suggestions as well!

My weigh in today was FABULOUS! I am down 7.8 lbs for the week, and 2.5 inches.How is that even possible? I was shocked! I really hope it doesn't bite me in the butt later on! So now I am at 170.8, so close to the 160's, I can taste it! And 48.25 inches! What a great day!

Thanks all for the suggestions and encouraging words.

amgirl - way to go! Stabalization...I can only imagine how wonderful you feel. Congrats.

skimmy - thanks for the tips. I'm going to try and eat my starches before 4pm and see if I notice a difference. I'm also going to stop cheating..period!

albertachickie - down 7.8 lbs for the week...wow.. you go girl. Glad to hear I'm not the only one getting stuck at the 20 lbs mark. I have been working out the whole time I've been on HM. I'm an avid gym goer (for longer than I can remember). I'm going to try and kick it up there a notch too. Can't wait for the pounds to fall off like they were in the beginning.
The 160's are in your sight..keep up the awesome work

Almost time for my Wednesday weigh in and measurements. I haven't cheated at all yesterday or today. Hope it pays off. Will update you tomorrow how it went today.

Have a fabulous Wednesday

Sunflower - I take the s/b after every single meal. But they said I'm 'carb sensitive' and one thing I've learned is I definetly crave carbs - not salt or fat. Gotta admit, I often cheat by having a cracker - stupid how happy I am with just one cracker. So for me it's worth it to stay on them every day. Tons of money - but heck I'm worth it

Congrats Amgirl!! Mmmm....extra starch. Hee hee. Enjoy! You'll have to let us know how it's going. I think I'm anxious about stab (still long way off), so I'm looking forward to hearing your success.

And Alberta - jeepers that is amazing - you flew through the 170's on a thanksgiving weekend no less! Congrats!

Hey Two Valley - I work out too, and I find that sometimes stalls the weight loss. I have a scale that measures body fat and I find when it goes down, the weight stays the same. Maybe that's happening? Either way I bet you do great today!
