Good morning Ladies,
Well, we know I didn't loose my 1lb this week but I'm determined it will happen by next Monday's report in.

I stayed on plan all weekend and even got in some extra exercise.

I'm not giving up---don't you let me!

I find it easier to write my food in a journal than on line as well.

Talk to you all later.
Susie

Hey friends,
I had a very bad w-end as far as food goes. Dh was off this w-end and we ate non-stop. I won't bore you with details but it was ugly.
I have trouble getting thru to him. He brings me a dinner plate size cinnamon roll. Knowing I have no self control...bad hubby..LOL. I can't get rid of him now thurs is our 33rd anniversary.

Susie: Remember we said 1lb average so your still good...don't be discouraged.

Ladies~I did very bad last week. Dh was on Vacation,a dn we kept busy the whole week, but that means that we ate out a ton! I am up 1.5 pounds. but I did make it to the gym today and I plan on getting there 5 times this week.

Everyone did a great job! now we need to keep moving forward, and put our missteps behind us. We can do it!!!

Yay for all the losses!

Hello Everyone.

I'm baaaack.

I have missed everyone so much. It is time to buckle down and get busy. Hope to lose 15lbs by the end of February, as I am up to 186, I think it is doable, don't you??

Cannot tell a lie, I checked into gastric bypass, and if approved by my insurance will proceed with it. It was not an easy decision, and know it will not be easy once the surgery is done, but feel I cannot get a leg up on this weight loss issue, as I have been trying for the past 6 years and have not once reached my goal.

Sorry to hear of all the losses. It is especially hard this time of year.

Mom had a stroke mid-December so we celebrated Christmas in the hospital. She got out on Dec. 29. She is doing much better and has gotten feeling back in her left side all but her hand, which may or may not recover.

Cheers to the New Year.

Hugs

Annie

Theres' our girl Annie!!!!

I am feeling truly happy for the first time in about 10 weeks. Everything seems alright in the world.
I have my focus, direction and purpose all in place. I have redefined much and am very pleased with where I see my life, my family’s lives heading .

I have printed my weekly calendar and slotting in the must do’s looking at the want to do’s next.

Dishes are all done DW is running.Need to write a cheque.2 hours til my meeting. Need to plan that time too.

HUGS!!!!!

Holly~you definitely seem more focused and calm about you day to day activities. I hope having less stress helps you. Congratulations!


Everyone I have been not so good, and I am trying to get back on the horse. I AM going to write everything down, in an effort to watch what I am eating. Hope everyone has a great day!!

:hug:s all around!

Still trying hard to stick to my exercise plan this week, done 75 mins today woot!! :D

Ok everyone, I need some help, I am getting bored with food. I haven't been getting enough calories in and when that happens my body holds on to every ounce of fat that it can. I am still losing but I don't want to stall out. Anyone have any new exciting recipes or snacks?? Help please!!

Sorry, I took so long to post but it is a very busy week at work.
I was up 1 lb at my wi. Looks like I'm not off to a good start.

I got to go friends, :grouphug:

Good Friday everyone!

I usually try to read most of a forum before I start to post to get a "feel for the room" but with over 200 pages of posts...not going to happen! :D

Let me introduce myself. I am 24 a teacher in DE and have been heavy all my life. (I know I was well over 200 since I was in 8th grade) I currently weight 272. My highest weight ever was 278 and in 1999 I lost 77 lbs in 3-4 monthes. Now for those of you good at math that brought me to 201, 2 little lbs to ONEderland. Then I fell off the wagon. :(

Maybe that was a good thing, I had lost a lot of weight but was NOT HEALTHY. :eek: I used pills, I rarely ate, and was miserable. Well the weight has slowly crept on. I have dieted a few times since then with a little success and I started here again weighing 276 a mere 2 lbs where I started so long ago! :o

ONEderland is such a far away goal for me sometimes I feel it may be Narnia or some other mythical place but it really is what I want most! :carrot: :carrot:

So as of the New Year (I know so typical) but in the past 12 days I have rediscovered 3FC, I have been very good with what I ate, and I have exercised for at least 30 minutes almost everyday. I really am feeling good and so far have lost 4 lbs. And unlike times in the past I FEEL better. And isn't that what this journey should be about??:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

Mari

Welcome Mari!!!!

Doing so-so, but on the better side I made it to the gym 4 times this week!!!!


Have a great weekend all!!!

Good afternoon everyone,
We are having a shut-in day. We made it out to our little country store 2 miles down the road and slip-slide all over the place..LOL.
I fell getting out of our pickup then dh tried to save me and fell also. We sat there laughing, what a pair of flakes.
They say our ice will last til tuesday. I hope not..:dizzy:
I've been pigging out :ink:
The grandson and both sons and one of their friends from up the street are wearing out the tv playing x-box. At least they are quite.
I'm going to get some soup started.

Later my friends.

Mari: WELCOME...:hug:

Debbie~ as long as Dh and you are not hurt then it is all good. Great that you can laugh about sliding around. I am so happy that we escaped the ice...still having warmer than normal temps, just waiting for the other shoe to drop, then it will be below zero. lol

Had a good weekend, hope everyone is ready to start the week.

Later chicas

Gym paid off this week, Even eating so so I lost three pounds...mostly water I know, but I am so stoked!!!

Room for one more??
 

Good morning everyone. It I got it right, everyone here is working toward dropping the "2" from the beginning of their weight. Amazing, at my thinist I was 150 and now I can't wait to get below 200, how did that happen????:dizzy:

I've been seeing a nutritionist, I actually started with her last February, but dropped out after I lost 30 lbs, I got kind of cocky and thought I could go it alone, obviously not, gained 20 back. So, last month I was back with her and I've been doing pretty well, ups and downs.

I try to go to the YMCA and do 40 minutes of cardio four or five times a week. Unfortunately I can't make it on weekends, which I think is what causes me to screw up so bad by Sunday.

Good luck everyone -- I hope today is a great start to your week!!
