Don't know how I did it, but I managed to go down 2 this week. I was scared that it would be a +2 since I have really been out of this week. No exercise.

Good for you Tonya! That means your doing something right. I lost another pound this week. I started with this group at 154 and now I am at 133. I can't believe it and today is my work holiday christmas party and I am happy that I can wear a dress and not feel bad because of the way I look in the article of clothes. For the first time in a long time I like what I see in the mirror when I look at myself and for me, thats a big accomplishment.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Talk soon,
Tanya

Hi All!!Great job to all of you!!!!
I stayed the same this week, trying not to get discouraged, but this is going really slow.....I feel better, and do see a difference in my clothing, but 7 pounds for two months??ugghhhh....I used to eat a large bag of chips and chocolate bar every night, I thought buy cutting that out and exercising more, it would come off faster....starting to think the scales are plotting against me.

Hi friends ... I'm actually taking a quick break here at work ... It's still way too busy but I'm going to burn out if I don't watch it. So I went to the Doctor's last week because I was sooo sleepy all the time, and I'm always cold (especially my hands and feet), and my joints hurt, and my skin was dry, and my nails were splitting (and they're usually so strong), and my hair was thinning a lot (chunks coming out in the shower ... scary stuff). They did some blood tests and it turns out my iron is very low ... thank goodness it's something that can be fixed with diet and supplements. My vitamin D is also pretty low ... I asked for a prescription for a trip to Hawaii since there's so much vitamin D in the sun but they said no to that ... so I'll have to take supplements for that too. I'm so relieved that it isn't something more serious. Hopefully it won't take too long to get things back to normal. I hope all is well with you.

Maggie good to hear that they found the problem. It must have been scary not knowing what was going on. Great job everyone. I am still staying away from the scales for now but watching what i eat and going to start working out again I was a bit lazy and had the H1N1 shot and it drug me out but I seem to be wanting to get back at it so I think tomorrow will be a good start.
Have a great week all. Nice to hear all your positve feelings again.

Hey Sheri: It's so nice to hear from you ... I hope you keep in touch like this. Good luck with getting back to exercising ... it feels so good once we start. I'm hoping once I get my iron level and my energy up again I'll make exercise more of a priority again. Keep in touch my friend and take care of you.

Hi Everyone,

So I took my measurements today and they went up. I am losing weight but my measurements are increasing, how is that? Could it be possible that I am gaining muscle and maybe thats why? I am soo confused. Oh well.

Talk soon,
Tanya

magglett

Tanya ... no problems my friend ... our body will change all throught this jouney ... more muscle is a good thing.

magglett

Well, so far this week I have gained 2 1/2 lbs. How you may ask? It was easy. ROAD TRIP!! My friend had a business trip in Ohio and invited me for company. I completely forgot about my mission and acted like a teenage boy with an incredible metabolism. I ate sooooo much ... the food over on the American side of the river is way awesome ... I experienced for the first time ... Cracker Barrel, Country Buffet, and a Philly Swiss Cheese Hogie ... oh my goodness ... my intestines are screaming. It was really yummy going in ... but now even my skin it too tight. I'm back home now and downing the water ... hopefully it won't take long to reverse the damage. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

tanya7712

Hey Maggie,

Glad you enjoyed all the good stuff. Sometimes you just gotta go with the moment. I love the cracker barrel. Have'nt been there for a long time. I am on detox right now. Tomorrow will actually be my last day on detox, so I have been eating only fruits and vegies and I feel like a rabbit and can't wait to eat meat again. I did loose some weight in the progress though.

Talk to everyone soon,
Tanya
