Not a bad weigh in after Thanksgiving weekend. Down 2 pounds. Hooray!

Keep up the great work everyone! Alberta: 7.8 pounds in a week? THAT is awesome!! Congrats.

Way to go everyone...and Alberta holy crud you are just soaring out of the 170's....I am just waiting to still hit my mini goal of 177lbs, I weigh on Saturday so we will see what happens then, scales said 179 bang on this morning, that 2lbs took it's sweet a** time coming off. I hate when I go slow like this, it does it in spirts. For a week or two I lose fast...then WOMP I stall..this 2 lbs gain is the first I have had since I the end of August I think.

Anyway...done complaining...for now....LOL

Have a great day everyone....2 days left to work then off for 3...YEAH!!! This isn't my normal weekend off so I am really looking forward to it...don't work a weekend until Halloween weekend....YEAH!!!! Sometimes the weekends are really bad at work, alot of call-ins...and my partner is also off right now on vacation so NOT being there this weekend is a god-send!!

Later losers!!

Turns out I had nothing to worry about...down 2.2 lbs yesterday! I'm going to start going to the center every day to help myself stay on track.
Thanks again to everyone and their suggestions. Definitely helped me keep my head up (and out of the junk food cupboard). Happy weigh ins everyone!

Well this week hasn't been that great for me. I keep going up and down but its my own fault. I have not followed the diet 100%. I have been under alot of stress which makes me what to eat.

I will promise myself that I will follow 100% so that I can reach my goal of 40 lbs by December 21st. We leave for our 2 week trip to Hawaii that day. I hope while we are away I can still maintain our keep losing weight. I am going to take S/B's, WM4000's and CLA's with me and there is a gym in both hotels we are staying at so I will work out everyday as well!!!

Thanks for all the input on the S/B's ladies. I'll start taking them tomorrow. I'm not going away till Saturday morning and I know I'll be eating out but we plan on picking up some fruit so we don't have junk and I'll only have a couple of extra drinks. It's the restaurant eating I'm worried about. I'm still so new to the program so I don't want to fail especially when people are expecting me too

So I had my second wi of the week and I was up 0.4 lbs. I was a little disappointed but I know af is on the way and I didn't drink as much water today because of a new daycare girl that started. I am down a total of 7.5 lbs for my first week and I'm still in the 150's so I'm happy with my results so far.

I'm having a great week. Only down 1lb, but went jean shopping yesterday and squeezed into a beautiful size 29. Woo hoo. Feeling great.

Told you TwoValley - congrats!!!
You'll do great Sunflower - tons of extra water to combat the salt. My centre said the day after a restaurant meal, add lemon to the water too. Good luck!
Have a great wi everyone!
Laura

Thanks Laura I called my centre to talk to one of the others girls that have been there longer because the one that was there when I bought my S/B's didn't really know much about them and the girl I talked to confirmed that I should be taking 2 pills 30 minutes after my meals to a max of 6 per day.

Laura that's awesome that you got some new jeans. I'll be there soon as I can now slide my pants off without undoing the buttons LOL

Hey girls,

Had a really bad day yesterday. Woke up with a migraine, and pretty much stayed in bed all day. I hardly ate anything and didn't drink any water. I think I managed to get out of bed at 5p and ate 2 bowls of Chicken noodle soup that was LOADED with sodium...my weigh in today showed it! I was up 0.8. Hoping for a good loss this weekend!

Way to go Laura!! Size 29. That's awesome!

Sunflower- You can do it girl!! Those people that are expecting you to fail will be eating your dust!! We'll be rooting for you while you're gone!

Thanks guys. You guys are the best

Hope you are feeling better Albertachickie.

Ah - I love the group hug Sunflower!

Feel better soon Alberta! I miss chicken noodle soup when I'm sick - I picked up some low sodium stuff about a month ago, but it was still bad. Hopefully you won't need it tomorrow.

Hi all! I haven't been on here since I went on my trip....but I thought I'd update and check in! I was away for a week...restaurant eating and all! I tried eating the best things I could at all times though. I thought I'd forsure gain at least a couple pounds, but was up .4lbs when I came back. I've been back a week now...gone through family thanksgiving and all, and was down 2 lbs. I was hoping for more, but its better than gaining! lol That brings my total to 19lbs so far.
I've been on the program for almost 7 weeks...and am finding it a lot easier.
Its great reading everyones stories! Very inspiring!
Have a good weekend all!

grrrrr frustrating week..up 2 total! Hoping the weekend will workout better!! Congrats on all the loses!! Keep up the great work!

I have had a frustrating week too. I lost 2 pounds at my Wednesday weigh in but I swear my scale at home has gone up since then. GGrrrr!

Not sure if I will make in to the centre today but we'll have to see.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

I am soooo nervous about my wi on Tuesday. I have to say that I didn't do too bad eating out. It is so hard though because you don't know exactly what they cook with. I did only choose things off the eating out guide book though and drank almost double the water I should yesterday and today so I am going to take my S/B's again tomorrow and hope that my wi is good

Evening Ladies....finally managed to get out of bed....I have such a BAD hangover today.....goodlord I don't want to see a drink for a LONG LONG time...LOL

But I had the best time...the wedding was amazing, my cousin was such a beautiful bride...dinner was great, chicken, roasted potatoes, mixed veggies greek salad and ceaser salad, roll/butter...about 6 olives..I LOVE LOVE olives. Dessert, cheesecake, some chocolate pudding thing with whipcream that was all I ate...there was alot more but I didn't want to over do it...and it filled me, I only took like 2 -3 tablespoons of each thing. Drinks...well we won't go there...lets just say I had ALOT...makes me feel sick just typing those words...ICK!!!

So I wore my ~~PRETTY LITTLE BLACK DRESS~~ and wow did I get compliments from everyone, 2 relatives didn't even recognize me, my cousin..the Bride came over to me and told me I looked AMAZING and gave me a HUGE hug, that made me feel so great to have the beautifulist woman in there come to me and tell me how I looked!!

Okay so.....the best part of the day was in the morning....my weigh in!!

I was down 3lbs!! YEAHHHH!!!!!!! I am at 30.75lbs gone!! I was so glad to have lost the 2lbs I was up plus another pound, was also given the comparable pics that were taken...and WOW what a difference!! I am going to scan them tomorrow and post them. If I can figure out the scanner, it is my sons...LOL

I am going to go catch up on posts and change my ticker, hope all is well with everyone else!!
