Congratulations!!!! Halfway there!!!!!

I've gained a small amount of girth since my last weigh-in-- but I was naughty and had biscuits and gravy on Sunday, followed by chocolate on Sunday and yesterday. My system really can't handle simple carbs and sugars. Today, however, I am fully recommitted to my goal! More so than ever, in fact, because the chocolate and biscuits made me feel awful. And I am still under my starting girth, so that's good!

Just checking in. I am having a really hard day. KFC is made by the devil and it tastes so good.



I am down a total of 2 1/2 pounds (I think, I might have just had a good morning lol)

I know some of it is water - but hey, 4 pounds!!!

Wow I actually lost a little despite my binge day yesterday. I am at total loss of 4 pounds since starting this thread. It doesn't seem possible. over 1 pound in just one day when I pigged out that day?? Like someone else had said....
I will be

"cautiously excited"

But it does given me motivation to go workout.

Down 1 more. Total of 4 since Christmas!!!

Wow!!! Great job LOSERS!!! (lol I mean that in the good way! )

I'm going to weigh in on saturday. Hopefully I crash through this plateau, it's driving me nuts!

I haven't measured yet today, but I am feeling really good about how I am looking! I can really tell that I am starting to get my waist back, and that makes everything look better! I love this!

My youngest is ill Probably a chest infection...she is off to the doctors at 4:00.

I, of course, am stressed and worried. My first line of thought when stressed is to bake. Please tell me to step away from the brownie recipe and go meditate instead.

Healing vibes would be nice, too, please!

I weighed myself Tuesday, and was down 2 pounds (yay!), to 156. And 1/2 an inch off may waist, but my hips are firmly stuck at 40.5 inches. grrr. I want to slim down my heinie - region!!!

Ah well, it has to happen at some point as I lose all-over weight, right??? Right????

Vibes sent your way!! Hope she's doing ok!!

Congrats to all you other losers!!

I'm shocked and awed to say that I am down 1 pd and half an inch off my hips! I am incredibly stunned!!
I've been struggling to get down any weight since last October!
...and that's after being sick on the couch for two days with no exercise for three!

Fingers crossed and holding my breath that this works for at least another 4pds!!

I swear it feels too good to be true. I am at 166 pounds. I lost 6 pounds in one week. My scale must be broken. Back in 2006 when I lost 65 pounds (by the end of 2009 I had gained back more than half) I had to work my but off for every. single. pound. I would often go a week or more with perfect diet and tons of exercise and not loose anything. it took me 14 months to loose the 65) There was NEVER a week that I lost 6 pounds. What is happening?
Is my scale broken?
Is it because I did a cleanse first?
I am going to stall big time now?

I know I need to stop asking question and just enjoy the results but easier said than done.

Stop the questions! Enjoy the success. I must admit I have fallen off the wagon a bit in the last 2 days -lack of sleep and a sick child (who seems to be on the mend)

Yayyyy! I've reached 31 inches in my natural waist! My gut is at about 35.5 inches, though. Still working on that! This is exciting, though! That means I've lost 4.5 inches-- that's almost to my goal already! I'm going to blow my goal out of the water!!!

We are also fighting little sicknesses over here. I have a sore throat.
