:thumbup:



after the awesome holiday weekend i am up 1.5 pounds. eh well. glad i hit that 25 pound milestone friday, i knew it wouldn't last thru the weekend. i WILL get back there, pronto...and lower too! it was FUN tho!

so, may was a total wash, no progress overall. i weight today exactly what i did may 2nd. still, that's a loss of 23.5 pounds, but yea....hoped to be further along. of course, you have to remain diligent and not just hope for it to happen. new day, new month....fresh start!

i have lost a nice amount of inches in 4 months tho: 2 off bust, 2.5 off waist, 1.5 off hips, 1 off upper arms and 3 off thighs.....so definite positive! so after 20 weeks, not too shabby...but yea, time to step it up and refocus!

day later and that pesky 1.5 pounds gone...so back to my all time low of 25 pounds lost. yay!
now, to keep it gone and lose more. workin' on it!

decides2dream

wow, no one's kept it up eh?
(the thread...dunno about the healthy habits)


i was off on staycation, and then came back this monday and a pretty shitty workweek, so yea..was not top of mind. anyhoo, checking in. not too good really. i've regained 2.5 pounds. not surprising after staycation, but still. sadly, my goal date is this weekend, and as of today, i am 10.5 pounds more than i wanted to be by now, and that's even after i altered my goal to be more realistic for the timeframe. :? oops. guess even that wasnt' realistic enough. not giving up tho...gonna keep at it until i reach my ultimate goal! so, week 23 and down 22.5 pounds. what a difference from my average of 1.47 pounds a week, now just under a pound a week. so it goes.....however, i've had to get my trousers taken in, bought a bunch of new clothes - especially dresses - and finally, so many have noticed/commented.....so definitely helps. fallen off the determined wagon a bit, but i am getting right back on! (well, after this weekend)


ooooooooo...went for a physical and all my #s are stellar! my bloodwork last year was fantastic, but now...even BETTER! total cholesterol went from 167 to 154, LDL @ 77 and HDL @ 64.....so glad to see the healthy eating is having positve results both inside and out.

Anyone want to do this again???

I lost 9 pounds in total - and then put it all back on!

I'll be dieting come Jan 2nd!

I am always fighting this battle. I am currently getting ready to go out into the wilderness for six days with nothing but a bag of rice. I find that is a nice way to drop a few pounds.

There were a few pieces of chocolate to be had. But between the 46 mile hike, my husband and the pesky raccoon,there was not a lot of chocolate to go around.

Good luck BD (and others). I actually need to gain about 10-15 pounds in the new year to be where I want to be.

We don't need your kind around here. :x

I have 10 pounds I can give you.

I was wayyyyyyy overindulgent during the holidays and I can't blame it all on the fantastic caramels Irish Al sent me in Secret Santa... I'm starting back on a running routine as I have a goal of losing 10 in a month, when I start my new job.

I think that might be just a bit overly optimistic. :roll:

But still... I can try.

I'm hungry :(

I'm just going to do this on my own and hope nobody notices - it's an old thread so I'm hoping noone will look in.

Lost 3 3/4 pounds this week!!

My friend and I made the mistake today of taking photos of each other in our underwear to try and motivate us. Unfortunately it resulted in me getting so cheesed off I went and bought a bar of chocolate - not the desired effect :x

number1PJfan

Good for you Claire on the loss. Not good on the candy bar. Chin up, and keep up the good work.

aww claire...it's ok....I bought a bikini one year to help motivate me to lose weight, had it hanging right by the full length mirror so I'd have to see it every day...when I thought I lost enough to look 'ok' in it and tried it on and went... :? :shock: :x :evil: :twisted: then gave up my diet.

Already started eating 'better' and doing portion control. I'm really shocked at the amount of food I used to stuff my face with! Had 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast and I felt like I came back from the buffett . I am at my pleatu now, so I'm working out with the Wii. I'd like to lose another 20 pounds...I'll be happy with 15, but also elated with 25.

Keep up the good work everybody!

Claireack

Thanks for the words of encouragement

Lost a pound this week - but anything is better than nothing
