Well I had a good day yesterday! I'm not losing alot of pounds but I am losing inches. Being short I am pretty compact. My weight is all over. So as I lose I usally lose all over. I do have alot of weight in my belly though. So I have notice this time I'm losing weight in my belly. I am still wearing an 18 but everything fits so much looser. I have an out fit I haven't worn because it was to tight in the belly. Yesterday it was loose and everyone commented on the about of weight I was loosing. But actually I have only lost 11 pounds altogether but I've lost alot of inches. I can get into a 16 but I want it to fit loose so I'm staying into my 18's until I can wear the 16's without looking like a hoochee mama.

Hello everyone

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Ivy how are the kids?


Suz/Kiwi "inches" are good anything lost on our frames is a good thing. Keep going girls that is great!

My week went well, no cheats not as much exercise as I wanted to but and lost 0lbs. all that hard work and nothing not even a pound. well I am not going to let it detour me, I am keeping on track..maybe since Aunt Flo will be here for visit in a couple days that is why I did not see progress on the scales
It is cold here the high is 27 I hate it!!!
Off to lunch...

Good attitude! Don't let it bother you Danni you are prob retaining water. It will come off. I did real good today. Actually, I'm hoping I will be 189 in the morning!! I'm telling you I am fitting into clothes that I haven't been wearing or they were to tight. I'm feeling pretty good. The goal is to make it through all this holiday season without totally pigging out.

Did some more shopping today. Well gotta go.

I hear ya on getting stuck in the 190's...If I see the 180's that will be a huge goal for me!!! I usually give up after stalling at 190 but this time I want to see the 150's....
Now that I have lost a few lbs. (21) I am convinced that I need a "face lift" OMG all this sagging skin under my chin is unbelievable I look in the mirror and wonder who the **** is that "old" woman, when just this summer I had a youthful, rather rotund face, but this sagging skin crap I is for the birds...thank God it is cold here and I can wear a turtle neck to cover that unsightly mess up sheesh never a break either portly or saggy getting old just doesnt seem to have many perks eh?

Kiwi I know what you mean about the upcoming holidays....I am scared my family expects me to make our tradtional foods which of course are loaded with fats, sugars, etc. and I don't know if I am that strong to avoid them Thanksgiving was not a cake walk but it was doable cuz i made lowfat, no sugar versions of what everyone else was eating, I have no clue how to make any of our tradtional foods light someone said "every bite tastes the same, whether you have 3 bites or 40 bites so if you MUST have something only have a couple bites...controlling my bites has never been a strong suit of mine
Well Aunt Flo is here guess I'll go put my feet up and relax a bit while she is here....have a good day! and keep moving

OMGOSH!!! I don't want my skin to sag but I know it is going to! I've been noticing that I don't just have a double chin but mine moves! Its like those wings under your arm that moves when you wave. Which tells me that when I lose its going to sag. Can't they do something for that? How do you exercise your face so that your skin tightens! This lady I know had her stomach stapled or something like that. She has lost all her weight but her skins sags sooooo bad. Her ankles are huge but its all skin. Its pretty weird. She had surgery to remove some skin in her legs so she could walk but it got infected so now everything is on hold.
Well its not stopping me from losing. Tomorrow my goal is to be 189!!

Wish me luck!

There are acutally exercises you can do for your face and neck, however they do not seem to be working for me...

or I am doing them wrong, or my face and neck are too far gone for results ..lol

You are suppose to "scream" the vowels of the alphabet, you do NOT have to vocalize them but go through the motions that you would if you were actually screaming them, you are suppose to scream A E I O U and those are suppose to firm up or prevent things from heading south in your face and neck region. You can do them anywhere anytime, well I was doing them morning and night maybe I am in severe need to add more so I guess I'll scream the vowels morning, mid morn lunch mid afternoon and after dinner snack...LOL

I too share those lovely, arm wings that flap uncontrollablly as I wave I have seen improvement in that area. Someone told me a long time ago to walk around the house with 2 unopened campbell soup cans, one in each hand while I do my everyday chores, and when I walk the tread mill and I have to say as the weight is coming off I am not looking like I am ready for "take off" IYKWIM.....

Ohhh that poor woman...she could not even walk? then an infection to boot...I'll say a prayer for her...

Well since someone would think that I have totally lost my mind if I did my facial neck excercises in my office I am off to the Ladies room to scream my vowels...

Take Care...

Hi Kiwi Congrats on breaking into the eighties that should make you feel good All we need to do is watch how much we eat over the holidays I know its going to be hard but we can do it
I know all abour the flu a few years ago MDH got and then I got it so the next fall we got the flu shot and now get every fall no more flu and I have not had a cold since we started getting the shot
My company never arrived so I am thinking that my daughters boyfriends father has taken a turn for the worse he has so many things wrong (diabetes,kidney dialysis,ulcers, and main problem blood clots) Hopefully he is OK

Sorry Suz that your daughter couldn't make it. I hate that about her boyfriends father. A friend of mines grand father is very sick. They don't expect him to make it. Its always hard but its harder during the holidays.

We are off to a Christmas party. I plan to be very good. I am really excited about my weight. My husband actually told me today that I looked like I was losing weight!! I don't want to get back into the 90's so I am going to be very watchful but I do plan to eat!

Write later

Suz I didn't pay much attention to time difference between us until today. Its right now for me 8:40 a.m. Looking at your message you left it at 4:35 a.m. I just always thought you were an early bird. ha ha Have fun today. I love all this hussle and bussle.

Our church doesn't have Sunday night services so we go to the homeless Shelter on Sunday nights and have church for them. It was about 9pm when we left. Afterwards my daughter in law and I went Christmas shopping. We didn't get home until 12 a.m. Its a great time to shop without kids!

My daughter came over this morning after dropping her daughter off at school. She is sick with the flu and is now sleeping on my couch so I can take care of her today. It doesn't matter how old they get. When a child gets sick they want there mommy.
