That is fantastic! Good for you!
Thank you! I am one day down on vacation. I reset my goals to "lose 0.5 pounds per week" from "Lose 1.5 pounds a week" and with my exercise calories I stayed well within my calories yesterday. I wll be walking a lot and will be going swimming soon. As soon as I get home I will reset my goals back to where they were.Maintaining while you are on vacation is a VICTORY!

I hope everyone is having as a great a Sunday as I am!!!!

Had to start wearing my wedding band on my opposite hand as it keeps falling off my finger. I guess my other hand didn't get the memo to lose weight yet. LOL.0

Bought a patterned skirt today. I almost always wear plain navy or black. Heck, I'm 50 and pear shaped, it's not a secret. I may as well show off my curves !!!0

Well, it took a week but I am now down to just under my pre-vacation weight. I had gain 3 pounds four days after our return despite my best efforts but now I am back to pre-vaca weight!0 -
Congrats! This really is quite the roller coaster ride.0

Completed a 5K today in 50.16 minutes or 15.13 mph. Last year in the same event I took 1 hr 20 minutes at 25 mph (with shin splints), was 901/901. Today I was 598/859 and 19/39 in females of my age group. We ran the last 6 minutes with only a few short walk breaks, prob about 1/2 mile. This is the furthest I've run. Big victory for me, got to do it with a good friend I rarely see, and for a good cause, breast cancer.0

Congratulations cdcllcga01 on reaching onederland!!
I have been there three times in my life: from birth to about 30, for a month or so in my earlier 50's and for over a year now in my mid-50's. I never (yet) got to my goal of 175, but going from 250 to 185 over a period of 5 years really took a lot of stress of my knees. I am maintenance mode now (with approval from my doctor) and ramped up the weight lifting to improve muscle tone.
I wish you, cdcllcga01, continued success in reaching 180; I have good feeling you will be there soon and I sure feel great as a result! Best of luck!!
And the best of luck to the people that go from threederland to twoderland is equally impressive. Everyone the participated in this thread should be proud of themselves!
Just a last small musing before I hit sleep city; In the last five years where I went from 250 to 193 back to 220 and then finally down to 185 which is a 65 pound loss. 65 pounds of _anything_ is heavy. Sometimes at the gym, I will carry a few plates equal that amount and it was hard to carry around even for one lap in the indoor track. And I was carrying that extra weight for years pretty much wreaking my knees because I am a kid at heart and sometimes an idiot.
So, get that weight off as best you can; make you body feel better; make you legs and knees feel grateful and to allow you movement to go out there and do the things you enjoy if it just by yourself or with our family or with your friends!
Enjoy life!!!
Enough of the rambling for one night. Long day as the gym and just finished watching PGA Tour golf on TV (well done Davis Love III). Good night all!

A jeweler can put a "ring guard" on your ring. It is made of metal and fits inside the back of your band to make it smaller. It is somewhat springy so it will stay snug through multiple size drops if needed. I didn't know about these before, but I have two of them now. I don't want to get my rings resized until I get to goal weight because mutliple resizings can diminish the original line of the band.heart2health wrote: »Had to start wearing my wedding band on my opposite hand as it keeps falling off my finger.

NSV: My dexterity has improved greatly. I used to have such difficulty opening packages and putting things back into containers. Not any more!0
