    Wow.:smile: you had an amazing week.

    Im trying to be extra good leading up to going away for 4 nights where there will be alot of drinking lol

    Just watch what you drink. Lite beer or if you can make your own I like to make a WW marguerita. Crystal Light lemonade, tequila with a squirt of lime juice. Sometimes I just drink CL lemonade with vodka. Just stay away from all those high cal drinks. Good luck.

    I drink spirits mixed with either diet coke or deit lemonade or wine

    Good choices!

    You are doing great. At least you are not giving up and it was a loss. You have done great losing almost 70 lbs. remember it is a lifestyle not a diet. WTG

    Thanks and you are right, marathon not a sprint. I think coming to the realization that my GW is likely going to have to shift to 128-130 in the last couple of days is just stressing me out. Onward though, will get 6k in tonight!

    @JessicaMcB - how tall are you? I am 5'2" and my original goal weight was 129. But when I got to that weight, it was ok but I decided I wanted to be 119. It took me a year but I got down to 115. I don't know if I can stay here or not but so far so good.

    Good luck.

    JessicaMcB Posts: 1,503 Member
    @vicky1947mfp I'm 5'9" so 128 is the bottom of the BMI range for me. Stressful to think that might still not be enough post-kids but it is what it is
  • vicky1947mfp

    That sounds very skinny to me at 5'9". What does your doctor say? That is a good weight for me at 5'2". But you know your body best.

    Well ok

    Cw 149.9 on 7/8
    Gw 147 on 7/29

    Steady pound per week. Was tempted to go for 145, but no, let's be conservative. 145 would be a bonus.

    @vicky1947mfp he seems ambivalent as long as I stay in range (which ends at 128). I think I still look pretty thick for 144- damn you straight shape!
    Post-6K run tonight so extra attractive but definitely could stand to lose more

    You look great to me but I understand how those numbers on the scale can mess with us. That is like me wanting to see if I could get in the 1teens. Now I am tempted to see if I can lose 50 lbs even. Ha that would be another 3 lbs. but it would be so hard for me to stay there.

    You are doing great for having 3 babies in 4 yrs. I know it is hard to find time to shower let alone planning and eating right. Love those babies though! I only had two!
