Today I'm down another 1/2 pound. That means I only have another 1/2 pound to get to goal weight. Once I hit goal weight I'll have to decide if that is where I want to stay, or try for another 5 pound loss. ????

Good Morning Everyone,

Congrats to;

Deb on your great weight loss, :drinker:

Wanda on reaching your goal :flowerforyou:

Computer on getting so close to your goal!

I am happy to report I had a good week and am down 1.5 pounds this week. I always hope for more but am generally pleased with making progress! Thanks to all of you for your continued support. It is great to see continued successes and progress from everyone in the group! have a great week!

Well, it sounds as though we are off to a great start for this week.

Deb, three pounds is awesome.

A HUGE congrats to bvifun for reaching goal and for computershare for getting so close. I can't wait to join you someday in the very far future.

jbouthiette -- 1.5 pounds is awesome.

:happy:

I weighed yesterday (after forgetting to weigh last week). I lost 2.8 pounds.

Hi, everyone!

Wow. Nice losses jb, computer and Deb. Wanda, you should be feeling very proud of yourself. Maintenance is a long way off, but you guys who have made it inspire the rest of us.

I lost 2 pounds this week. 3.5 for the month so far. As I said last week, probably won't make the 8 pounds I wanted for this month, but I would be extremely happy with 5! Still 11 days to go, might make it!

I am only 1 pound from my "every 15 pound reward" goal. I hadn't thought of a reward, so I might just wait until I'm on vacation. (Certainly I can lose that pound before September 2). While in Quebec, maybe I'll see something I want to see or do that will be a splurge (this is going to be a shoestring trip as it wasn't really planned), or maybe a really nice dinner in an expensive French restaurant. Nice thing about those meals, the servings are usually small and they tend to be low in carbs and fat!

Missing my gym. (Who da thunk it?) Closed for 3 days. Also very hot so couldn't even walk outside yesterday, nor probably today. Going to be tough because beginning Friday, I will be staying at my son's (not near my gym) from Friday through the following Saturday. Then the Tuesday after that, I leave for vacation. I will take my resistance bands with me. There are some really nice trails near my son's so I will get some workout in and maybe I'll make it over to the gym a few times. Vacation sight-seeing should make me walk a lot, but it won't be the same as walking the track fast and the bike.

My rheumatologist was surprised and happy about my weight loss. She agreed that I might need to have my heart meds cut back. My blood pressure has been normal to low and my heart rate has been low, too. I see cardiologist next Thursday. I've had some spells of real light-headedness the past couple of days and really feel it is associated with my meds. The nice thing about my implant is that when I have a device check, it tells them everything. So, I will probably know if those spells were heart related or not. Oh, it also tells how Active I am. There should be a huge uptake in that reading! Before MFP, the readout would indicate between two and three hours of activity. Anxious to see what it is now.

Hope everyone has a good week! I appreciate all of you for your inspiration and encouragement.

Charlie

One pound down this week. The step tracker with MFP wasn't working properly this week -- but I think I compensated alright. Great walking weather and taking full advantage. Last week was the week of eating lots of vegetables. Next week will be keeping up with that and cutting down on diet sodas. Am also trying to get more calcium through diet rather than supps.

Good luck to everybody this week!

Charlie, Congratulations on your loss this week. Glad to hear the doctor was happy with your progress. Thanks for your input. Pixy

This is an amazing week for us. CONGRATS TO each and every one for being here, working on losing weight to get healthy. Positively thinking I am still 2 lbs less than last month - tadahh! I am more energetic this week and happy about that. I don't have anything much more to share other than I am so glad you are here to keep me company. :flowerforyou:

WOW! So many really great losses and accomplishment!

Happy to say I'm down another pound as of this morning-
From start -13
Start of MFP -9

Heading out this weekend for a week on the road with no scales. But I will stay focused, do lots of walking, and enjoy myself!

Congratulations to you Goal Achievers. What a Wonderful accomplishment. Be proud, this could not have been an easy road.
Congratulations also, to you continued losers. Week after week of sticking with this is quite the accomplishment. I am very happy for all of you.

This week, I have not lost any pounds. But I am exercising a lot, working with weights, doing the best I can. Not waking up with any guilt on what I shouldn't have done. So despite the disappointment of not losing, I'm still going to hang in there. Try to cut a few more carbs from my daily intake and see if that helps.

Happy Trails,

Claudine

Jen, that is an amazing NSV, stress and frustration at work and you were still able to make a great decision for your health and well being, so very proud and pleased for you! :flowerforyou: What you did was not a small thing, it was a great thing. I find your update inspiring, thank you! Cheers, Marian

Jen, That was a fantastic way to end your day. You didn't let the disagreement with your boss affect your evening. That is a winning situation for you right there.

Ker, I hope you had a nice visit with your company and didn't have to go crazy cooking and prepping meals for them. I hope you feel better soon.

Happy Trails,

Claudine

Congrats bjwww on your loss and remembering to join us! :flowerforyou: Looking forward to getting to know you better, even though there will be 'less' of you in the future, I am sure! Cheers Marian
