Congrats to those who lose and to those who are sticking to thier plan. I went to Weight Watchers this morning and must really get back on program. I'm still down ~16 lbs since I retired, however I gained 3.8 and have a long way to go. I'm eating healthier so that's a good thing!
I had been doing pretty good and going to gym several times a week. My sister just visited for about 2 weeks and I probably gained all my weight back. Oh well, she left this morning - time to start over again. Spring is coming soon(or at least I hope it is)
Good luck to everyone that is trying to get healthier!
You have to wait until you get back from Vegas. Not the place to be thinking about weight and healthy eating!Originally Posted by Georgiagambler
So true lol! Definitely won't be eating healthy but I will get some exercise in with all that walking around the casino.
Down 1.5 lbs this last week for a total of 73.5 lbs. I would LIKE to lose another 6.5 in the next 5 weeks, with more to come, but I know it I don't it's ok, because it WILL come off.
That is wonderful! Congratulations to you, Queen B! :cheer2:
QueenB you are doing so well on your diet and are an inspiration to us all. I wish I had your willpower. I broke my diet yesterday and had chicken fried steak and chocalate ice cream afterwards. Got on scale this morning gained 2 pounds. Still down about 3 pounds for week so at least I am headed in the right direction. I think.
Zeus, thank you for your kind words!
Oh, James, I LOVE chicken fried steak! I am looking forward to having it in April on my vacation. We always stop at Lambert's on the way back from Tunica and their chicken fried steak is SOOOOOOOOO good. I love that place! And I am really glad there isn't one near me!
That being said, unless you are willing to give something up for the rest of your life, I don't think you can really demonize a food. You have to find a way to fit in favorites somehow. Usually by eating them less often, smaller amounts, or both!
3 lbs in a week is terrific! Keep it up!
At least when I ate the chicken fried steak I took half of it home. Originally I was going to wait and eat the rest of it today but I figured one day of sabotaging my diet was enough so I finished it off last night.
Last week was a 0.5 lb weight loss. This week was 2.5 lb for a total of 76.5 lb since July 2014. Yesterday I had a "non-scale victory". I went shopping yesterday for a few clothing items. Didn't want to get TOO much, because I still have a long way to go, but I'm going on a trip with some friends in a few weeks and my clothes are either VERY baggy, or even falling off. My jean size was 3 sizes smaller than the smallest size I could barely squeeze myself into when I started. I think I was walking on air.
