Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers....

I am finally glad o report I am down 3 to 227.  Can we say yo-yo?  I seem to be dancing around this 230 mark, and I want to see 220! Maybe by the end of the "race" that will be my ultimate stg???

Also, hubby brought me clothes shopping on Saturday for M-D.  I am so happy that I fianlly went down a size for the first time!  Been YEARS since I've been an 18, and they fit COMFORTABLY!  I even bought just plain-old XL in misses section!  Woo Hoo!

Well, I almost made it to 135 this week...lol I weighed in at 136.2 this morning and thrilled to have broken thru the 137-138 mark I've been wrestling with for the last couple of weeks. So a .8 loss is all for this week, but oh sooooooo nice to break thru........

I've been shopping in my upstairs closet this week. Forgot I had such cute summer clothing stashed away for "SOMEDAY".   Yippee...Someday is here, for the most part!

Stay positive and stay healthy.......

Hello Everyone,  I am down one more this week.  I weighed in at 136 today. 

Rmrtist,  like you I wanted to be 135 this week.  I am going to take the 136 and work extra hard this week.  I am shooting for two pounds so next week I can be 134.  Good Luck to you.

I am down 19 pounds!!  I am super excited.  Good Luck to you all.

One pound lost this week.  I hope everyone else did well in spite of the holiday week end.

135 today!!!!! Yes Yes Yes......1.2 lb weight loss and maintained thru the weekend as I weighed in at 135 on Sat.(my check in day). I'm at a healthy BMI of 24.7 now and still on track for my goal weight by the end of June. Nice to be over that plateau and seeing a continued weight loss again. I just had to keep pushing thru it. I had one "cheat meal" per week for the last 2 weeks and that seemed to kick start the loss again.

You have all been an inspiration to me while sharing this journey. Stay positve and have a healthy week.

i'm so happy for you you are doing great keep it up

i am 255 down 4

I am still 179! I think it's a good thing, it shows that I can maintain myself over the tough weekends:) I am so glad to hear everyone is doing well! Good job, keep it up!

I don't know how I did it, but I'm down 3 to 224.  T-O-M yesterday, and I feel like crap. Can't say I've even been good about logging my food.  I built a raised garden this week, and maybe it was all the manual labor.  I even used a pick-ax!  TAWONDA!  lol

Hello All:

I am down one more lb this week.  I am hoping to break out of my rut next week.  I guess I shouldn't call it a rut as it is still a loss.  Some of you are doing so great.  I think it all comes down to metabolism.  I exercise almost every day, and I thought that would boost my metabolism but it still seems to be sluggish.  But without the exercise I probably would not lose at all.

Jolly....great job on your continued weight loss of 40 lbs to date....Thank you so much for your encouragement!

Sharon.......28 lbs in 16 weeks...Your doing great! Stay positive...keep pushing thru it...it will pass in no time.

Shanna........Congrats on 34 lbs to date! A pick-ax....now THAT is some toning exercise..lol. You go girl!

Liz....Congrats on your 16 lb weight loss to date...I read alot of your posts throughout these boards and you are very motivating to many people and I know that you are a very positive person. I too have lost a slower rate than most, but a loss is a loss no matter how you look at it. I am very much into the "exercise" part of the program, as I have slacked on my treadmill time and have not been out bike riding as planned. I do get out and do lots of yardwork tho. Your doing great, keep up the good work!

oops....meant to say that I am NOT very much into the "exerciseng" part of the program.....lol.

Liz,

You're doing great!  16 lbs. is a lot!  More than 3 bags of sugar!  The main thing is is you continue to lose, and enjoy your new lifestyle.

You are, as someone else said, truly an inspiration to all of us with all your kind words and encouragement!  You are definately "platinum" to us!

Debbie, I know what you mean.  I'm not into exercise either.  Never have been.  But I make myself do it.  It has more or less become a habit now, but I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed it.  I also realize that if I allow myself to skip a few days it would be hard for me to get started again.  I do like what the exercise is doing for my body though.  That is what keeps me going.
