I am doing the HAPPY DANCE!!!!! :smooched: Thank you to all of those who have encouraged me and responded to my posts this week and made me stay on the straight and narrow! I could not believe the scale today when it said 381! I have had weight loss like this before but never from sensible diet and exercise, always some crappy fad diet. I thank you again for encouraging me to eat my calories even when I was afraid. I guess time will tell if this will work in the long run. I still cannot believe I lost weight on this many calories! I am glad I recalculated my calories and it is giving me less now. Yeah!<<<<HUGS>>>> to all those who have helped me! :flowerforyou:

    That is nothing but, AWESOME!!! Eating all the calories works. You're proof of it as am I. I was on a 3 week plateau. I found out about eating exercise calories. I've lost a lil over 2lbs so far this week. The official weigh in is tomorrow. Great going Amy, you can do it. Think, in a year you are going to be the inspiration for someone else. You'll have so much weight gone they'll be begging you for the "secrets". CONGRATULATIONS!!!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

    Also forgot to tell you my co-workers(fellow teachers) told me today they were happy I was dieting again because I always bring them healthy muffins and food when I diet so that there is always something I can eat to combat the fatty and sugary stuff usually left in the workroom by others. I think they were throwing a hint that they wanted more whole grain banana muffins. :bigsmile: I've got them hooked on healthy!

    I want to encourage you. I too wanted to do the 10 lb happy dance, but did not think I was worth it until 20 lb. I am going to do it to celebrate both of us. :laugh: I am at 360. Please encourage me to keep it up. I really like positive people. I too did the fad diet thing. This is so much easier. :smile: Great Job!!!

    Yay Amy! I knew you would be successful. Keep it up. Don't get discouraged if next weigh-in isn't as dramatic - but hope for the best!

    Did you say banana muffins? :angry: I'm on a one month challenge with FletcherChic and I can't have bakery. :grumble: :ohwell:

    Go Go Go!:flowerforyou: CM

    Congratulations!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    I think most of us have tried quick, easy fixes but coming here to MFP & doing it the right way is so very satisfying! Knowing in the end that we've learned how to live, how to eat & how to move!! Knowing in the end that this weight is gone & gone for good!
    I am inspired & join you in the happy dance!!
    YOU GO GIRL!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:


    and congrats to the other LOSERS on this thread as well!:wink:
