OMG!  Brandie, that is awesome.  I can't even imagine losing 7 lbs in one week.  Girl, what is your secret?  And no exercise either!  All I can say is, "Wow!"

Liz

Fantastic!  Thats great!  Hope you are feeling better after surgery.

Well I am now down 40 lbs....WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

I was so excited to see that when I weighed in on Monday. I hope you are doing good Ginger. Let me know how your progress is going.

I leave Sunday for Dallas for business meeting, and I am so nervous.....everyone wish me luck.

Wow.  less than 2 months.  40 lbs!  whats your secret?  What do you lose each week on average?  What meal plan do you do?  Alli recipes or your own?  What physical activity are you doing? 

I weigh in on Friday, but as long as I keep it up for two more days I will be down 5 lbs this week.  As of today for the week i am down 5. 

Last week i gained 1 lb.  Was really upset.  Cause i watched everything I ate. and bumped up my elliptical routine from 25 to 30 mins.  I am finding that I am going to have to watch my salt intake more.  I have a feeling that pickles and olives are not going to work for me. 

On your trip, just plan ahead where you might possibly be able to have meals where you will have good choices.....I find eating out to be very difficult. 

My average has been varying every week. I don't follow any meal plans on here. I think I have literally read every diet book that is out there. I have taken something from each of them.

I do alot of recipes from Biggest Loser but I also do alot of my own. For breakfast I eat egg whites with broccoli and mushrooms or I have oatmeal with wheat toast and fruit.

For lunch I Subway or I eat a piece of meat and salad. Dinner just depends on what kind of mood I am in...lol.

I am religious about the gym. 6 days a week. I also exercise some at the house to. Kind of hard to do that with 3 lil munchkins under the age of 3 runnung around....

Don't feel bad about the 1 lb.  I gained 2 lbs one week and then came back the next with a huge weight loss. I had to do the same thing with my salt intake. I was retaining so much water.

Write me back when you get a chance.

Hi Brandie,

Great Job on your weight loss! Maybe you can suggest some ideas to me? Its been a week tomorrow and Im sure I havent lost anything. I started on Alli because my doctor thought it would help get past a plateau. I exercise atleast 4 times a week doing a walking DVD which is a 3 mile walk, I also follow WW. I started last Sept and have lost 48lbs on my own. Thats a little about what I have been doing, any help would be GREAT!

Thanks Tina

Hey everyone!!

Well I weighed in this morning and I am down to 239 lbs. I lost 5 lbs last week. 199 here I come..lol.

Wish me luck as I am out of town this week, and it has been very hard. But I have stuck to what I know so far.

Brandie

Congratulations Brandie!!!  Good luck this week!  When i weighed in on Friday I lost 6.  I was superbad on Saturday night.  Had several alcoholic beverages.  It seems to have done a number on me.  I am up 3 lbs as of today.  So I have till Friday to turn it around.  I sure did have a good time though.  Its kinda a one time thing.  I never have the opportunity to go out and let loose.  I had some kind of stomach thing on Friday, went out Saturday.  Today the kids have the stomach thing.  Ahhhh.  We never learn, they were drinking after me.  I thought it was from Alli to tell you the truth.  Live and Learn.  Take care.

Ginger

Hey everyone!! Well I am only down 1 lb this week. I had a really hard week last week. Ate out 3 times a day....ugh. Plus I had to deal with severely swollen legs and ankles..lol.

All is good now. I am on vacation this week, and I plan on upping my exercise and hitting the gym hard. Let me know how your weigh in's are going.
