Staying the same is good, better than gaining, hooray for you !

Yes it is a new month, don't you just love new beginnings

Wanda, Marise, and Jean, I am awed by looking at the three of you! All at or within 6 pounds of goal! You keep the rest of us going, you know.

I lost 2 pounds last week. At 164. Still have 49 pounds to goal. No where near you, three. Yesterday was a bad day choice wise. Went to Uno's with son and grandkids and had two slices of prima pepperoni deep dish pizza. Those two slices alone are OVER my 1200 calories a day limit. It wasn't on the scale this a.m., but it will be. I can't go that far over without it becoming apparent. Heck the salt alone will show.

Wanda, too bad about Akron. Yeah, not right around the corner. Be careful while traveling of your foot!

Hope everyone else has a great week!

Charlie

I've struggled lately (I did post a blog about it yesterday if you are interested), but am happy to say that the hurdle has been passed - at least temporarily. I'm at the lake, so will round the scale reading up on my unofficial scale and report that another two pounds has gone into the ether.

During the past week, I made it to Onederland, and can honestly say that I'm nowhere near as excited about it as I expected. That's ok, though - I'm focusing on the next round of weight to lose.

So great to see our successes - maintenance as well as loss is a win!

It's amazing how fast the days go - Wednesday again and the 1st of another month!. Sounds like everyone is up beat and on progress - congratulations to all.
I'll join the crowd and report a 2 lbs. loss for the week - have a great upcoming week.

Deb, noticed the picture of the motorcycle in your tag - do you ride?

Ker, I am so excited for you! That is a huge milestone! I bought a bathing suit when I hit Onederland! You need to enjoy the victory more! Do something nice for yourself! Yea!!! :flowerforyou:

Hello again. Already a new week and a new month. Congratulations to all you losers. Wonderful.

Yes, Marise, I love new beginnings.

Wanda, BIG Kudos to you for doing so much with your broken foot. How wonderful that you are so close to goal. You are really incredible with your work-outs. It can't be easy with any discomfort, yet you forge ahead. That is a WOW!

Wooken, Enjoy the Autumn beauty that surrounds you. Having lived there, you know you are in very pretty surroundings. (Even if the air is a little thin.)

Ker, One of my favorite sayings is "Take my advice, I'm not using it." So when the reality sets in, celebrate YOU and acknowledge your terrific achievement. You have reached a milestone. Do something super nice for yourself. Even if it's an extra week-end at the Lake. Plus new clothes, the rewards can be endless. You have had so much anguish to contend with but you stuck to your plan. Time to do your Happy Dance.

Reba, do what you must. We will be here when things settle down.

Charlie, as always, you are an inspiration. We look to you for inspiration (No pressure, right? LOL!) Your determination and consistency is definitely a driving force for this team. Your exercise regimen is astounding.

I'm still hanging in here. I've increased my exercise, do much more strength training. Staying within my daily calorie goal and sad but true, have cut back a lot on my beloved wine. Actually, I don't miss it that much.

Leaving for Albuquerque, NM tomorrow for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. Also to visit my daughter, her husband and my sweet little grandson. When he was a toddler I started calling him my happiness, hence I became grandma happiness.

I wish you all a continued successful week.

Happy Trails,

Claudine

Hi everyone!

I am happy to say that I've lost 8 lb.s my first month here. I have used my tread mill nearly every single day -a new
accomplishment for me.

In 30 days I hope that my size 16 jeans will be too loose to wear even around the house. That's my goal!

Wishing everyone health and happiness. See you here next Wed.!
