Yolie! I'm so glad you check in with us!! Do you have an adorable baby bump??? Pictures!!!

I really think I might change my weigh in day to thursday... I weighed in again and lost another .9 lbs. Which is 0.2 less than last Thursday so it's not such a crazy number. Right? I have no idea what I'm trying to say. I just want you all to tell me I can use this weigh in so I have my 40lbs lost on my ticker! :blushing: :blushing: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

USE IT!!! Let's see 40!!!

Thanks mama- I did it!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 40.3 lbs down!! 24.7 more to go!!!!!

Ummmm why does 24.7 more lbs to go kinda dicourage me?? It took me around 4 months to lose 25 lbs when I started. Does that mean it's going to take even longer now???

kandyjo

:happy: busymom~ I am soooo excited for you hitting that 40lb mark!! Woo Hoo!!! The rest of your weight will come off... It's a journey, so don't obsess so much about the time line!!

Amanda ~ I am so glad that you sound in better spirits!! It really helps some people to weigh every day... some people (like me) it doesn't... Find what works for YOU!! :drinker:

Shannah ~ Sorry you are having such a bad day... Those come around once in a while... I really hope you get your apt... Maybe that will give you a since of renewal!! Hang in there girl!!

Yolie ~ I agree with busymom... I LOVE that you still check in with us!!! AND I would love to see your baby bump pic's too!! :happy:

kandyjo

BTW, busymom... When I open the spreadsheet for week 39, it's blank .... ???

busymom74

AH! Really??? Let me look! Sorry!!!

kandyjo

No prob, Bob... I was thinking something was up with my computer or something... but I can't imagine what....
I first get a notice that the format is different (or something like that)... then when I open it, its blank...

Thats how I feel. I only have 12 pounds to my goal, but it has taken me 3 months to lose 8 pounds and it only gets harder near the end I think. I am trying not to focus on the number, but on how I look. My husband keeps raving about my body (although I admit he is totally jaded and no other man would find it as appealing) but it is a nice incentive to show him this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I suspect I will most likely go for a smaller number once I get to 135. I weighed 125 (or a little less) when I met my husband 8 years and 2 babies ago. He actually encouraged me to put on a few pounds because he doesn't like the boney look, but I was happy fluctuating between 120 and 125. I don't want my upper number to be 140. Oh forget it now I am just on a tangent.

Really I just wanted to say congratulations on your 40 pounds. You will get to your goal, it may take a while, but you will get there. We will be cheering you on the whole way.

busymom74

O.k. I think I fixed the SS! Let me know if it works now.

Momto- That's EXACTLY how I feel. lol I was thinking I might make my goal 125ish so I could happy flucuate between 125-130. I have been noticeing myself looking better. :happy: Which is awesome!

Thanks!! I'm excited to be this close to my goal. (yet so far away!) :bigsmile: :bigsmile:


P.s. JS- I really lol'd at "no prob bob" I dunno why! :laugh:

Well done to everyone who has lost this week.

My ankle is MUCH better!! I'm so excited!! I was getting pumped with the nice weather to go ahead and get started back on the C25K.... BUT they are talking snow in the forecast again!!! I'm serious... I've lived in TEXAS for pretty much my whole life... I don't remember this much snow EVER!!!! I really think there is some kind of weird experiment going on or something.... GEEZZZZZZ!!!!!
I have the Race for the Cure 5K in April... I hope we have nice weather by then!!

busymom74

It's amazing the difference mayo makes to a meal. The original chicken sandwich at Burger king is either 420 calories (no mayo) or SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY with mayo. 210 calories!!!! That's more than twice what my low fat dressing costs me in calories. That's almost 3 large oranges! (My favorite snack) Thank goodness I checked before buying. I was able to eat the sandwich, the salad with my light dressing and croutons, and apple "fries" for the same amount of calories as the sandwich with mayo.

Seriously.
