    I am so glad to see that some of you are trying the green smoothies...it really worked for me.

    I couldn't do 3 a day though. I had 2 smoothies a day and a healthy dinner. Now I have at least one a day (my breakfast). Sometimes I will have another for lunch plus I exercise more. I've lost 20 pounds and 5 inches around the waist since Dec!!

    I wish everyone good luck!

    just a reminder ladies.....great for all who have and continue to lose. some have slowed down, plateaued or maybe gained. this is a journey, a marathon and not a race. it is about feeling good and balanced and not about finishing first. think how far we have all come since January. sometimes goals can not be measured but there is a value to feeling mentally better. we are all on this trip together, don't forget to treat yourself every now and again, it is important. have a great day!!

    I prefer to say I've platypus-ed rather than plateaued. It makes it sounds better in my opinion. ;)
    You are right, Stephanie, we need to focus on the little successes along the way, rather than just the scale. As long as we keep it up we're bound to see results in many ways.

    Hope everyone has a healthy day!!! :D

    We can do it

    That is very sweet, and is how I hope we are years from now also! So far I have lost 10 lbs. Plus, I am now a little over a week with no cokes!! Only water and morning coffee!!!(this is HUGE for me!) Also I have started Couch to 5k this week, so maybe I can lose the other 10 before Easter!(I'd like to lose more than 10 lol)

    Hi there!
    I love your 5lb goals! I might do this...I get sad to think I have so far to go so this is perfect!

    Thanks :wink:

    Knowing my goal is (was ;) ) 65 lbs away was extremely overwhelming, so 5 lb goals is more realistic and doable in my mind. Good Luck!

    Marie - Good luck with your dr. appt. we will see you when you get back.

    Rayw89 - Thanks for the support. I purposely didn't weigh in when I got home because of all the fluid I retained from the salty foods. I don't use salt at all and we tend to eat fresh foods most of the time. I will keep going and won't let this sabotage me. I plan on getting to 160 goal by the summer.

    Shirley

    Yes Shirley you will! 160 by summer here you come :)

    Weigh in day. I have gained 2.6 lbs :( not very happy with that but I suppose it is my fault I have slowly been slipping on eating and the exercise and I guys it caught up to me.

    Hopefully the extra zumba classes this next week well help and going to get back on track with this eating. I'm going to lose what I gained this week.

    Going to get back on the wagon and I'm going to lose this weight!

    Kenea, it's so easy to take a little jump of a pound or two; don't be hard on yourself. Your determination will help you drop it quickly. You'll do it!

    It's encouraging to read of the good effort everyone is making toward eating well and being healthy. Even when weight loss is slow, our bodies benefit from our efforts.

    I am going to copy the green smoothie link and see if I can tweak my smoothies or maybe substitue with the green once in while.

    Thanks, Cristina. Mornings are so easy... nights are SOOOO hard! Fortunately, I have all of you that I cannot let down on my commitment to do this. I've never been good at seeing diets or detoxs through to the end. When the going gets tough, it's so easy to quit.
    By tomorrow this time, Day 5 will be in the books... HALF WAY THERE!

    Enjoy your evening, everyone!

    Becky
