WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[kelownagirl]

Go Lynette and CA! You're right about the planning. I always have trouble near the end of the week when I start running out of the right foods and am too busy to get to the store. It's all about being prepared!

I had a tummy bug last week and lost a bit, down to 119.5-120 now. I waited for 3-4 days before I confirmed the loss in case it was just dehydration. Five more lbs to go!

Hey there! I am so proud of all of you.

I weighed on Thursday morning, as was the plan, and was down on the scale, too. I can't remember the exact #'s, as it is Saturday today, I didn't post on Thursday, and my mind is a fickle thing!

I was going to post my #'s Thursday, but got distracted with the two day sale at Terry. Thanks alot for the tip, btw. I got my order in just in the nick of time because we are switching internet service providers at home and they shut down our access just after the order was placed.

Anyhow, I am doing great but have a pretty challenging couple of days, as we are celebrating two birthdays this weekend and have company coming for two days.

Knowing that you are all doing so well is encouragement enough to get me through the weekend! Thanks!

I am at work using the internet access here. I will most likely post on Tuesday, IF we get our internet access at home hooked up Monday night!

Good Job - can't wait to find out how well everyone is doing when I log on next!

Great Job Everyone!

I'm holding steady, no loss or gain since last week. Which I'll take anytime!

Minor frustration this morning when I popped on the scale -- I was up about 1.5. I'm pretty sure it's all in these tender boobies, it's that time again. And yikes, extra tender after being climbed all over by the two darling grandbabies yesterday!

On the other hand -- thursday was my day to get a flu shot, and they also had me weigh in -- down about nine from last time I was in, which is delightful. They also took my blood pressure: last spring, 120-ish over 80-ish was a good day. Thursday, it was 102/60. That's pre-motherhood blood pressure!!!

I weighed in today. 151.5 (happy dance) -1 I really don't think about snacking anymore. I stay busy and eat portioned meals.

You go, girls!

Everyone is doing wonderful - stay positive and we will be successful!

I am holding steady at 142.0.

Calories this weekend:
Saturday 1636
Sunday 1547

It was really nice New England weather this weekend. Sunny and chilly. So, for exercise, I completed a 45 minute walk outside on Saturday and a 75 minute walk today. Really pretty.

Four days until Thanksgiving... What are eveybody's plans. What are you planning to eat? Are you planning to be reasonable with your food choices, or throw caution to the wind?

Well, we will see how weigh in goes tomorrow morning. The good news is that I passed my state licensing exam on Saturday. The bad news is that while I was out of town studying and taking the exam, my study-buddy and I ate like idiots: DENNY'S. Yes, Denny's. Cheeseburger, seasoned fries, pumpkin pie. The works.
