alright.......something isn't working........I have been on MFP for more days than listed and i have really only lost 4 pounds....and even though a few folks have noticed and really only on pair of jeans fit differently, I wouldn't call this a victory....SO.....NEW GAME PLAN!!!!! anyone who knows me, undertands the very strong work ethic I have...so why not make it work for this aspect of my life too???? I have decided that every day that I am at or under calories I earn a dollar and every day that I do my planned exercise, I earn another dollar. If at the end of a week, if I am at 6/7 days, I earn a "bonus" 5 dollars..... I enjoy my work "life", so maybe this will rub off the same way......i will let you know how it works....
have a great day everyone!!

I'm soooo happy about my weight today! I'm FINALLY in the 130s (139.4)! The 140s (so far) have been the decade that took me the longest to plow through. I don't think it was my body's fault. I had an infection for awhile, and mental problems about my sister's weight loss, and I let both of those things derail me from consistent exercise. My original (final) goal was 130 so (supposedly) I'm in the last decade! My marriage weight was 120 so I'm still not sure if I want to head into the 120s. I'm going to add more strength training now and I'll make the 130/120 decision when I see how I actually look at 130. All I can say at this point is... WOOO HOOO!!!

Welcome to the 130's! It's a nice neighborhood, should you decide to stay awhile.

So, I was thinking last night...do you ever find people around you making a repetitive comment to you? Like when my kids where little bitty and I'd take them all out to the store or something I'd always get the "You really have your hands full!" Well my kids are big now....and I've lost some weight. The new comment I get ALL the time (practically everyday) is....."If you lose any more weight you'll blow away!" I can think of a lot worse things to have said about me :P

Ok, so I'm officially in the maintaining zone like I said.....trying to keep it between 130-135 (as per request by my fiance that he would like me to not lose any more weight). I am happy to have gotten back down into a size 5/6. I DID however want to get closer to the lower end of that.....130.....before the next eating days come up. That way if I put on a few during those Christmas get togethers, I'll still fit in my new smaller jeans at the beginning of 2012. Mission accomplished!

Pam....you have just hit the motherload. The 17 Day Diet is how I FINALLY lost baby weight I've been carrying around for 10 years after having 4 kids. Where nothing else worked.....the 17 Day Diet did for me! I'm sending you a friend request....I've already turned others onto this diet and it has worked for them....and for my mother even! I'd be happy to give advice or if you have any questions....I even have some nifty recipes I came up with for different cycles of the diet :flowerforyou:

Pam3

trimformecmb - I like your new game plan! What about subtracting for the days you don't? Would that help too?

Scarlettdawn764 - Nice comment towards you! :-) Congrats on reaching your maintaining weight!
