The Weight Loss Thread

[CPT]

Post your progress and goals here! No slacking, we are watching you. ;)

[Laurie]

weekly weigh in down only 1/2 pound. Total loss 8-1/2 so far

[Blase]

I started juicing again this week. Juice 2x a day in morning and afternoon and then have a "sensible meal for dinner" with DH.

Not just doing it for weight loss but it definitely helps. Mainly doing it for energy level and just generally improving my well-being.

Also hitting the gym for the first time in forever!!!

[Blase]

Laurie, congrats on your loss.

Man my hip flexors are killing me tonight after one hour on the treadmill. I am weaksauce.

[seemoreroyals]

Congrats to everyone who is trying to lose weight. It is a constant struggle for a lot of us. It is a shame that all the stuff that tastes so good is so damn fattening.

[Gypsy]

It's been six weeks today since I started the "Fast" diet. I've lost 10 lbs, which I'm thrilled with because the week of KC I only squeezed one fasting day in and two walks. I'm off this week so I've gotten my 3 1/2 mile walk around the lake in every day.

There was no place to walk in KC. One morning we got up and walked around in the snow in the parking lot for about 30 minutes. We can usually find some great places to walk close to the casinos we go to. At home we have a half mile hilly half meadow half wooded path we do 6 to 8 laps on.

[Gypsy]

Good job Laurie, don't be disappointed, even a little down is better than going up, right :)

[Blase]

Gypsy, you are a hottie and you don't need to lose weight!! :)

We have a man-made lake close to our foothills and it is a really beautiful place to walk. There is always lots of other people out and my dog gets to be social too.

[Gypsy]

Well thank you Blasé, you are gorgeous yourself. I don't need to lose much, but I don't want it to get out of hand either since I'm getting older. Have been really lucky most my life being tall. I don't know how you do that juicing thing, one meal a day? Tough!!

[Blase]

TWO meals a day. :rolleyes: And today I did my morning juice and was feeling great, went to work out, then had to go to my aunt's house to pick up my wallet that I left in her car when we went to Four Winds the other day. And of course she offers me a glass of wine... who am I to resist?! But I guess, technically, I did *juice* twice today!! HHH, I crack myself up!

But yeah when I get fully on board with the two juices a day, I'll let you know how I feel. Probably be a lot more crabby.

[seemoreroyals]

Not to worry Blase. A glass or two of wine a day is actually good for you.

[dvandentop]

they say a glass of red is better then going to gym.

I need to start after vegas gotta cut winter weight off!

[QueenB]

I weigh myself every Sunday morning and was down 3 lbs this past week for a total of 68.5 lbs since Mid-July. Seems like the scale is now going down every 2-3 weeks. That's fine with me. Progress is progress!

[Blase]

4 miles on the treadmill today... woot!

[Gypsy]

4 miles on the treadmill today... woot!

Awesome Blasé, keep it up. I walk 3.5 miles most everyday and I love it!

[QueenB]

Even Steven for me today. Hope that means a bigger loss next week, since I've stuck with it.

[Gypsy]

I am trying to get up the motivation to go to the gym. But laying in bed with my cuddly kitty and my phone is currently winning out.

ETA - I made it to gym!

[nhmajik]

Hope you won the battle Blasé and were able to get to the gym . This is me right now, but today I'm going to be a good girl and eat well. 352

[goldengreeke]

My weight goes up and down like a merry go round.
On December 26, I weighed a whopping 262 pounds and decided to go on the Atkins diet.5 weeks later I had got down to 239 pounds but gained most all of it back during the Kansas City meet and greet and was at 258 last Monday.
Back on the atkins diet for a week, I weighed in at 244 this morning.

[QueenB]

Down 3.5 lbs this week for a total of 72 lbs since mid July 2014. It's a marathon.

[BorgataBabe]

Damn QueenB, you are doing fantastic! I have been stalled at a total 6 lb loss total. I have to change things up!

Weigh to go Queen B. You are doing do well. You should be so proud of yourself plus you must feel so much better and have a lot more energy. What is the secret to your success?

[QueenB]

I joined My Fitness Pal. I don't do the forums there, but I do read some of it. I bought a food scale and weigh everything I eat. I log everything I eat to stay within my goals. I am feeling a LOT better about myself. I knew things weren't right last year, and knew I had gained a lot of weight, but attributed it to working a LOT of hours at a sedentary job sitting at my desk as well as very poor food choices. I finally made a doc appt after my eldest daughter's wedding. I walked in, and told her that I honestly didn't think I'd be alive in another 2 months, that I was profoundly weak, profoundly fatigued, and couldn't walk more than 5 feet without being short of breath. She did some testing and I my thyroid was majorly out of whack! Started on thyroid medication, which I know helped a lot, but then started some lifestyle changes. I am not one to workout a lot, but I can easily go shopping now without having to stop and rest or huffing and puffing. I stick to my plan with the exceptions of vacation times, but have found I now make better choices and don't eat as much on vacation. My doc is thrilled with my progress. Still a long way to go, but like I said, it's a marathon! It's CICO (calories in/calories out)

[seemoreroyals]

Thank you for sharing that with us QueenB. Keeping the weight off is a never ending struggle for many of us. I have been down to my ideal weight on many occasions but because I like food so much it seems that just when I think I have it under control I start gaining a pound or 2 a month and next thing I know I have a bunch of excess weight I need to get rid of. Best wishes to you for continued success. You are an inspiration to us all.

Well, as of today I am down 20 lbs since KC. I'm pretty proud of myself! I was actually really sick earlier this week and didn't make it to the gym for a few days, but otherwise I have been working out and eating really well every day.

Thanks Gypsy and Zeus. It's amazing what a little juice will do.

I have no doubt in my mind the next twenty will be much more of a challenge.

[sassycat]

That is so good Blase! And as Gypsy said in a really short amount of time!!
Do you start with a juice cleanse?

[Blase]

Not this time, I've done juice cleanses before but I realize that I just like food too much, lol.

Just having two or three green or carrot based juices throughout the day and then eating a normal dinner at night. Surprisingly I haven't cut down on my alcohol consumption all that much; I can imagine once I do that I'll lose weight even faster.

[seemoreroyals]

Congratulations Blase on such great results. We may have to give that juicing a try some time.

[RiverSong]

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!

[Georgiagambler]

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!

So true lol! Definitely won't be eating healthy but I will get some exercise in with all that walking around the casino.

[QueenB]

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:

[seemoreroyals]

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.

[QueenB]

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!

[seemoreroyals]

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.

[QueenB]

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.

[seemoreroyals]

QB great to hear that you are still taking the pounds off. Those victories along the way such as fitting into smaller clothes etc. make it all worthwhile.

[dsmack]

The first photo was back in 2012 at Coushatta. I was 212 lbs. The 2nd is a recent photo at my sister in law's wedding. Im now at 167lbs.

Eat lean food, cut out white carbs & Excercise regularly. It does wonders! This transformation didn't happen overnight either so be patient and results will come.

Good luck!

Hey Gene! You've heard of "water weight" gain haven't you? Well, in your case it's just "liquor weight" ;- /

[MNvegasgal]

I have walked over 300 miles since December 12 (when I got my fit bit) and I am down - 1 LB. I also lift weights twice a week.. but I am obviously eating extra calories. I guess I am going to have to start tracking food.. UGH.. I DO NOT want to do that.

We have the same problem. We usually walk 3 to 4 miles every day. The better you feel the more you want to eat. Tracking the food will definitely help. My personal biggest issue I have is avoiding overeating in particular when on casino trips, at get togethers with families and friends, and going out to eat. If I was a stay at home hermit I would probably be as skinny as CPT. I have no willpower when tempted by fattening foods.

I'm going to start posting here to be accountable. Will check in every Sunday. Won't give you my starting weight (eek) but will post results. Like Dewey, I think I'm most successful limiting gluten/carbs and adding more exercise.

Good luck to everyone!

[QueenB]

Sunday is my day too! I was down 1.5 lbs this week for a total of 78. Still have a chance to lose an additional 2 lbs before my trip to make an even 80. Then there's no weighing for me until I'm back!

Good luck everyone!

[Laurie]

Just weighed for the first time in 2 weeks and lost 3 since last weigh-in but only 8 overall. Long way to go! Does anyone use a fitbit? Thinking about getting one.

[seemoreroyals]

That is great Laurie with all the travelling and entertaining you and foamy do. If I even walk into a casino I usually gain a couple of pounds. You must have more will power than I do.

[RiverSong]

I need to get back on track! 15 more sleep nights to Vegas and I want to drop some lbs as I know I'll be off program for the week. I do plan to get in more walking to balance out the meals. Good job Laurie, QueenB

I have been using a fitbit for almost two years. I have the fitbit one. It clips on your clothes and I always wear it. I love it. I'll start posting here also. I have been on this fitness journey for awhile. I don't weigh myself at this point anymore, just go by how my clothes fit, but I'm always working to be a healthier me. Good luck everyone!!

OMG on the Fitbit - our Blue Cross insurance at work is offering them free to anyone who will join the "program" meet certain goals and share the info with them. One of the bosses signed up last minute today and I rather meanly (it was Monday sigh) told him they'd be recording his poops!!! He told me I was being paranoid but had a funny look on his face and later saw him talking to the health enhancement coordinator probably trying to get his sign up sheet back LOL.. Yes, I am a joker and yes, I have gained 3 pounds in three weeks due to Easter candy, its been worth it, uh I think lol...

You can find the good organic meats at the grocery store almost at half price if you can get them 2 days before the expiration date on their package. I will buy all that they have on discount and put them in the freezer. This is what I do : )

I work for an insurance company and they try to pull crap like that all the time with us. Feels too much like "Big Brother" to me, and I'm not even paranoid. I just think they want to control every part of my life. I think the 10-16 hours a day I give them should be sufficient.

[QueenB]

Again, good luck to everyone, whether you are maintaining, starting over, still ambling along the road. You can't succeed if you don't try!

[moemoe]

Exactly! I'm not paranoid, am just skeptical with how they plan to use that information they're obtaining (through my paid insurance premiums)! To be honest, would love to give one a try - they say its an $89.95 retail value - am just ornery enough to buy one on my own at a better price and keep my bad info to myself lol :lol:

Hi DK528, if it makes you feel any better, I started this thread on the old forum because I was motivated for about 5 weeks! I was down about 9 lbs, now it's only 5.

I need to lose a quick 10 because in 16 days me & DH will be NYC for two nights; lunch at Del Posto, dinner at Butter, maybe lunch at the Boathouse while in Central Park, drinks at 48 Lounge, ugh, know how many calories I'll intake in two days! Hopefully no rain and we'll be doing tons of waking!

Good luck, listen and let QueenB inspire you, she's doing fantastic!

[goldengreeke]

Just weighed in this morning and down 9 pounds. That's not a humongous amount for a first week on Atkins though, because one always loses a ton of water weight during the first week of this type of diet.:)

Wow Foamy. That is great. I expect you can do anything you put your mind to doing. When do we start? Will you be doing the once a week weigh in like gg and queenb are doing? And since you are doing it I am in as well. Don't have quite 50 pounds I can afford to lose but I will commit to losing 25. Right now I am about 210 and will shoot for 185 and start tomorrow.

[MNvegasgal]

So the scale isn't making great changes.. but I had my annual physical this week.. and I dropped my bad cholesterol by 22 PTS without meds. I was pretty excited.. the walking and the choosing protiens over carbs appears to be working. Now I have to really crack down and lower that card intake to less than 20 grams a day.

[Credz]

Great job everyone!

[DK528]

Well, sticking with my commitment to posting here. Down .2lbs this morning. Because I've been working so much (just getting home from 14 hours at the office on a Sunday), my steps are way down this week (usually get 10k-12k per day, averaging 6k this last week). So my goal is to maintain for the next week and then refocus once this brief is filed! I have a black tie party on 4/18 and bringing a friend/possibly more so I want to look good!

[Jeani]

Terrific job jokers and good losing vibes to those that just started too!!! :)

[Laurie]

Damn up 1/2 lb since last week and I have been good oh well could be worse I guess. Foamy is starting this week so that will help me :)
Going to be a lot warmer this week so going to try to get out and walk!
Have a good week everyone!!

Laurie, don't worry. You could be up 1/2 lb this week, then down 3 or 4 next week. Just keep on going!

Am up 3 lbs and cut the candy in half and even put in a solid 4 hrs of yard work yesterday - am stiff and sore since uh admittedly haven't broken a sweat since last August, yes am a little out of shape LOL...

[Stephiede11]

Happy Easter everyone!! I will continue to eat healthy thru Tuesday night but once I get to Vegas, it's vacation time. No calorie counting!! I probably won't go overboard but I will indulge in a few treats and drinks. Hopefully all the walking will balance things out. Will get back on track once I get home. My motto is, "It's not a diet, It's a lifestyle." Life is too short to not enjoy it!! Good luck everyone.

[seemoreroyals]

If I remember correctly Steph you don't need to lose any weight. No dieting for me next week in Vegas either. I will hit it hard when we get back.

[Stephiede11]

Aww, Thanks. I could benefit from losing a little more for sure but my main focus is being stronger and healthier. No one should diet while on vacation, lol. Can't wait to see you and your wife again. Not too long to wait ��

[seemoreroyals]

You are correct that being stronger and healthier is more important than losing a few pounds. We look forward to seeing you next week as well.

[RiverSong]

Weighed in yesterday, up 1lb....like Stephiede11 said its a lifestyle and I too will try to make healthy choices in Vegas and still enjoy! Hang in there everyone!

[QueenB]

Last weigh in before my Tunica Trip-I leave Friday morning. Down 2.5 lbs this week for a total of 82 lbs. Like others, I will not be calorie counting (or weighing and measuring) on my vacation, but hopefully I will have what I enjoy but make decent choices. Everyone have a great week, on or off their plan!

Thanks so much!! Hope you have a great vacation!!

[Stephiede11]

Hi guys! Well I lost back last weeks gain plus one so good week which I needed before Las Vegas!! Hopefully vacation won't set me back too far as we have some fab dinner reservations but will do a lot more walking. Have a good week everyone :)
Great job losing this week!! I'm sure you'll do good on vacation. All that walking is a plus.

Still sticking with Atkins diet. Tried it earlier this year but the KC M&G killed me and I gained it all back. This time there is nothing to stop me until I hit Tahoe in June. :)

[Stephiede11]

I don't weigh myself, just measure my inches monthly. My main goal is to turn this fat into muscles. I am proud of myself for not going crazy in Vegas. If anything I didn't eat enough.Too much slot time, lol. I am back to logging and tracking. Good luck everyone.

[foamy]

OK here you go guy's I started 3/30 and I'm down 25 lbs. this morning only problem is Laurie can't keep her hands off me. hhh

[goldengreeke]

Damn, nice job foamy! I probably won't be able to keep my hands off you either when I see you!:glee:

[seemoreroyals]

WTG foamy. Remind me never to take you up on a challenge. You are one determined guy. That 50 pounds you are shooting for looks like it is going to be surpassed by the middle of May. Congrats buddy. I glad Laurie gets to see you in a thong though and not me.

I'm thinking I will get it done around the first of June. I thought me you and Gene would wear thongs in Tahoe. hhh

I guess we could get some of those thong swimsuits. We were on a cruise one time and there was a south american couple on there about my age that were both wearing thong bathing suits. It would not have been so bad but they were standing about 2 feet above where Sassycat and I were reading out by the pool and they would never leave. I think they wanted our spot. I gave them several dirty looks and it did not phase them and I finally put them on ignore. When I looked up again about an hour later they were finally gone. But it you and Gene wear yours I will go buy one and we can all wear them out at the pool, that is if Sassycat will let me.

Wow you are brave but are we going to wear them at the vp machines. hhh

[seemoreroyals]

I guess we could. That would depend on how much we had to drink and on whether Laurie and Karen would let us. Remember what they carry their purses for.

I weighed in yesterday and gained 5.2 lbs from my Las Vegas adventure. Starting today its back on program!

[foamy]

goldengreeke Great job buddy we are going to look good.

[seemoreroyals]

WTG goldengreeke. I think foamy has us all beat but every pound me and you lose is definitely a good thing. Losing 19 pounds in less than a month is quite an accomplishment and good luck to you at getting as close as you can to your goal.

Yeah I got to the store and 2 of my friends both brought me breakfast bisquits from hardee's and I said no it's alot more fun putting it on than taking it off.

Me too. If there were no such things as bread and desserts it would be much easier to get to my ideal weight and stay there.

[QueenB]

Although I had a terrific time on my vacation and lots of fun, it was NOT good for the waistline or eating program. 5 lb weight gain. Returned yesterday and back on plan, so hopefully it will come off before TOO long. Up from 82 lb weight loss to 77 lbs overall. Keeping it real!

Didn't go to the gym not one day last week. DH was still on vacation so we did a lot of things around the house. I did go today so starting the week off good. Eating right and logging everything gets on my NERVES but it works for me so I'll keep doing it. My motto this week is "Just Keep Swimming." Good luck this week everyone!!

[Laurie]

Lost 2-1/2 lbs this week! :surprise: Guess foamy's diet is helping me too even though I am not going as extreme as he is! Have a good week all :smile-new:

[goldengreeke]

Sharon, who isn't even on a diet, lost 10 pounds herself these last 4 weeks! She says it's because there is nothing left in the house to eat lol!
A month ago I threw out all the bread, pasta, potatoes, ice cream, sugar, and flour, plus any vegetables that weren't green ones and since then only meat, eggs, cheese, and green vegies are ever in our fridge. :)

[phillycub]

ok...since my Vegas trip a week ago and eating like a pig in Vegas, I managed to lose 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Must have been all the walking and awesome Vitamin D in Vegas.

[goldengreeke]

Last week was so so with food but excellent with gym time. I'm so excited to finally move up in the weights I'm lifting, especially upper body, my weakness. Meal prepping today so I don't turn to crappy food. I looked at pics of me at my highest weight and it feels good to know I'm making positive changes. Hope everyone has a great week!!

Great job on exercising, Laurie. I'm sure those 3 pounds and more will come off!

[QueenB]

Laurie, I wouldn't worry. The gain might be due to fluid retention, which can happen when you start exercising. If that's the case it will fall off when your body gets used to the routine.

[foamy]

15 lbs. to go but this morning I was starving and had 3 eggs but I hadn't had anything since a salad on tues. so I don't think it will hurt.

goldengreeke I been busting my ass to get it done so I make 50 by Tahoe I think I will make it if not I won't be happy. I will tell you one thing and you can put it in stone it's alot more fun putting it on than taking it off. hhh

[goldengreeke]

I don't have your willpower. Sharon was dying for a double cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake. I couldn't let her eat that in front of me so I had the same....then I ordered myself 2 MORE cheeseburgers because I was still hungry lol.

Brought back memories of not that long ago when I would go to the bakery and buy a dozen donuts and I would give Sharon two and I would have the other 10 eaten before she was even done with her second one.

Only people my size would think that is normal eating habits ha ha. :)

Great job everyone!! Keep up the hard work. My week started off good but I got sick on Wednesday and I still not 100%. Hoping to be back at it this week.

Good luck everyone!!

lost 4 pounds this week! Down to 201. When I came to Vegas I was 214. woohoo. Almost can get in my 36's now.


WTG! Great job! Isn't it fun fitting into old sizes?

[QueenB]

Another good week in the gym and an awesome week for food. I wish my motivation would be like this all the time. It comes and goes but I know that's life. My motto this week, "Never Give Up." Have a great week everyone!!

Great job, Stephanie! I agree, I think perseverance is the key! If you fall off the bike, get back on it!

As Stephanie says, everyone have a great week!

I like my old 36's, they're more stretched out! but yes, indeed! Summer is coming so I know the pounds will be shedding.

you go girl. Keep doing it.

WTG guys! It always makes you feel great when you can finally use a smaller hole on your belt or go down a size on your jeans. :)

WTG GG, QueenB, phillycub and Stephiede!! You all are doing great!! :thumb:

I was bad tonight...I had Domino's :/ It's gonna be 90 tomorrow, I'll sweat it off waiting for the train to work tomorrow. :) LOL

You really can't sustain if you don't EVER have some of the things you really love. Just get back on track later if it doesn't fit into your goals. Pizza isn't always bad-depends on the ingredients and how much.

You're right. I'll have a salad tomorrow :)

Another good week in the books. I thought I was in pretty good shape until I TRIED tennis yesterday, lol. My whole body is super sore today. It was very fun and entertaining. I think I did more laughing then hitting the ball. We will add that to our weekend fun. Other than tennis, I rode my bike, ran at the park, and played corn hole. The weather here has been fabulous and I must take advantage of that before it gets too hot. Going to walk at a new park we found then more corn hole. I'm addicted to playing that game.

I hope everyone had a great week and continue to do well. It doesn't matter what your goals are, just take it day by day. And NEVER GIVE UP!!

We were in a cornhole tournament last night but foamy and I were eliminated in the first round HHH
Are you on vacation Stephanie?

I think everyone would fall on the floor laughing at me if I tried to play tennis. My hand/eye coordination has always been questionable at best.

[QueenB]

Down 3 lbs this week for a total of 90. Don't know if the loss will stick for the week though, because I was violently ill Friday night. We'll see. Just keep trucking.

I haven't laughed at myself like that in a long time but it was fun. That was definitely something out if my comfort zone.

I never heard of cornhole until I moved to VA. We always played horseshoes where I'm from. No vacations for me anytime soon. My classes are in full swing now. Hoping I can sneak away for a Vegas trip before the summer is over. Keeping my fingers crossed for that!!

Gene just keep with it-it will come off in the next week or two. Likely a shift in fluid. Don't let it discourage you.

[QueenB]

I lost 1.5 lbs this week for a total of 91.5 lbs total. For me personally the BEST part is that when I began this journey I was morbidly obese, I moved into the "regular" obese category, and this last week has now put me into the overweight category. Next stop: Normal Weight! Hopefully I will hit that by the end of the year.

Gene, keep it going. Those small gains are normal.

[Stephiede11]

No workouts for me this week. Hurt my knee really bad when I was a kid and it is acting up again. Hopefully I can get there tomorrow. Since I started my classes again, I have been a little stressed out. I'm going to start back on Weight watchers to help me stay on track. I know I eat horribly when I'm in school. Good luck everyone and enjoy your Memorial Day!

Stephanie, hope the knee is getting better! Great idea to have a plan for being in school. It's hard to be in school and eat properly and stress eating is the worst! Hope this next week goes great for you.

I started back on WW and lost 3.4lbs this week. I'm not big on weighing myself, sometimes I let those stupid numbers play with my head. Anyway, I set a goal to lose 15lbs. I have a Vegas trip planned for July and have a couple dresses that would look better if I lost a few more pounds. Hope everyone had a great week and continue to reach their goals!!

[goldengreeke]

WTG Steph! I am stuck in limbo...nothing lost again but at least I didn't gain any this time like the week before.

Still down 30 pounds since March 22 and 39 pounds since the 1st of the year. :)

After Sharon lost 25 pounds from being sick, she kind of liked the way she looked and is dieting now and has lost 35...wants to get down to the size she was when we got married 48 years ago.

Even though you didn't lose this week, not gaining any is a big plus. I know you'll get to your goal!! Wtg, Sharon!! Gene you better watch out, lol.

[Jackpot]

Wow.... Goldengreeke, congrats! Where do you get the motivation? I'm having a hard time just sticking to a diet for a week.

[goldengreeke]

Sharon and I both lost another 3 pounds last week and are all set to show our new body's off in Tahoe lol. We have lost about 40 pounds each since the first of the year.

She dropped 3 dress sizes and I have gone from a 42" waist to a 36".

Probably will gain 10 pounds in Tahoe next week because I can't wait to eat some carbs again, but then I'll go back on the Atkins.

GG, that is freaking fantastic! I cannot wait to see pics of you at the M&G . I probably won't recognize you. And if you do gain 10 lbs while there, that is okay. You deserve it!
Congrats to Sharon also even though I do not know where she had that much to lose.

[Laurie]

WTG Gene!! Sharon must be tiny! I have not been losing any more. Eating too much camping and not walking because I hurt my foot (don't know how)
