WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[Over50Newbie]

Hi everyone,

This is going to be a fly-by post as I am straight out getting ready for the Thanksgiving holidays.

You won't be seeing another post from me until Monday. So everybody please have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the time with your friends and family.

P.S. I plan on being 141 by Monday.

Well I think you should all take a few days off "dieting" over the thanksgiving weekend and give yourself permission to enjoy life and family and the good food that entails. Maybe cut back a little on the amounts but don't deprive yourself completely. You can get back on the wagon on Monday. Happy TG to all my American friends!!

I just read bambu-101's last post. Had missed it before.

Arggghh!

How frustrating! Anyone have any further advice for her? Is there another possible medical reason besides thyroid for weight to just hang on like that? Is it worth doctor-shopping to try to find other causes?

Just wish I could help her, but I'm clueless on this. It sounds like she's doing everything right.

To change the subject: yes, Happy Thanksgiving everyone (at least those of us in the U.S. celebrating this week). I've saved my WW flex points, and am counting on 2 pieces of pumpkin pie. Plus, best of all, darling daughter home from college for a couple of girly days (including a girly mountain bike ride) with mom.

but I'm hoping.

Under all baseline conditions, this morning the scale said 176.2.

That's down 2.5 lbs since MONDAY. The scale has not been moved.

I have been working hard the last few days, getting ready for the Big Meal. The only thing I really did different is drink way way more water since Monday, because it's been hot and I've been thirsty. Maybe I'm not getting enough water for the processing?

oh well, just in time for Thanksgiving.
