New Week! End of JULY!

  • Hi Ladies!

    Well another month has gone by for me and my weight is just steadily creeping on me. I am now the heaviest I have ever been including the day after I delivered my heaviest child

    Anyhow, I am now back in control of my life and I realize that I can never give up on myself again b/c look what happens!

    It sounds like everyone has been so busy with the summer! I can't believe the kids here will start school in just a couple weeks! YIKES!

    Hope to see some posts today!

    Dont give up. Believe me , I have been where you are . So many times I have felt so down and like that scale or the weight will not come off. You just have to make your mind up and do it for you and nobody else.
    I weighed in last night and had only lost 1 pound for the week. That was okay. Although, I have rode my bike 2-4 miles faithfully each and every day. I was the monthly best loser with a total of 4 and 3/4 pounds for the month of July.
    I won the contest we were doing . All members bring in a dish towel and the monthly best loser gets them all. So , I walked out of my meeting with about 15 or 16 dish towels.
    Over the last 3 months , I have lost 21.5 pounds and I know and fell like for the first time in a long time that I am in control. I have pretty well layed the breads and starches down. This was not easy for me considerning , I am a bread Lover.
    I look forward to riding my bike in the morning and in the evening. I feel so much more positive about my life. My blood pressure is so much better and I feel 100% percent better physically and mentally with 21.5 pounds lost.
    I wish you a good day, keep your chin up , I know you can do it.

    Mom,
    How is the pool going? Are you still going to piano or art class? Have you been birdwatching lately?? LOL I'm full of questions today! LOL

    Shelley,
    It is nice to "meet" you!~ It sounds like you are doing excellent! You really should be proud of yourself! I know I am
    Yep, I'm starting over.. I got down to 159 last year and gave up on myself...

    It's funny that when I was doing so well I decided to reward myself with food! But I finally realized that we eat to live not live to eat! LOL

    Anyhow,
    Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
  • Hello, today is Thursday. I still have been doing pretty good. I have been riding my bike and walking. Ate a little more last night , but I am still in control and can finally see results. My jeans and bigger and so are my shorts. I just have to keep on a pushing day by day.
