10 pounds to lose challenge- February 1, 2025-April 30, 2025

EternalTruth · February 21

Good morning everyone!

I had a good week but as I mentioned, I am nervous about this coming week. There will no doubt be healthy choices but it is hard to log stuff in a restaurant that is not a chain.

Feb 1: 175
Feb 8: 174.6. (-0.4)
Feb 14: 170.4 (-4.2)
Feb 21: 166.0 (-4.4)

I am wishing you all success, health, and strength this week.

I am grateful for a supportive husband who is supporting me throughout this journey and encourages me.

What are you grateful for?

Take care,
True

@EternalTruth Awesome results! Way to go! Thank you for reminding us to take a moment to remember what we are grateful for. I am grateful for many things but the ones that come to mind right away are:

my health
my grandchildren
having a warm and comfortable home
Spring is around the corner

Happy Friday to all!

I’m late to the game, but would still love to join the challenge. Is that allowed?

Hi everyone,

I promised to be absolutely honest; so here goes: Both my Wednesday AND Thursday weights showed 155 on the scale. That's actually 2 lbs. MORE than when I started! I still think I can lose another 5-6 lbs. by the first day of Spring, but we'll see. It's horrible how just two, careless days can wipe out FIVE, very careful days, but there it is, especially since I haven't been doing much activity. I've got the winter doldrums, I guess. I'm SO tired of all the layers!

Wishing you all a very nice weekend,
💞Carole

@sunnydays930, that's AWESOME!

Congrats on staying AF too! Best wishes for your doctor's appointment on Wednesday!🌷

@Walela617 Thanks for reminding us how one or two off days can wipe out a whole week. We all know that. But when it happens to you it's so disheartening. Don't think about it. Think about the upcoming week. You can get rid of at least one of those pounds.

I only lost a half pound this week. I had been so good diet wise that I was hoping for at least a pound. It never happens. To make myself feel better I tried on some skinny jeans that I bought in 2016. They fit!! I mean really fit. I will feel good wearing them.

Have a good week everybody. One day at a time. One week at a time. All those little victories count. They add up.

I'm grateful for my health.
My new furnace (Brrrrr..)
Another good day. I'll make sure I enjoy it.

My granddaughters are girl scouts and were selling cookies out in front of the grocery store today so I bought 6 boxes. I am possessed by a sugar devil, plus I wanted to support their troop. I will put them in the freezer but everyone knows they are just as good frozen!

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a great day.

Congratulations on your weight loss, @faurotann! Every little bit counts, and it's better than I'm doing right now!

Hi @sunnyday930, those girl scouts can be dangerous! I especially live the thin mint ones. I never tried them frozen. That sounds like a great idea! Still, I don't dare buy them because I'll eat the whole box at once!

Welcome to all new members! It's never too late to join in! Glad you're here!

Have a great day everyone! I will check back soon.

💞 Carole

Love

Earlier this week I was in line the pharmacy. On the shelf next to me were a bunch of Lays potato chips. As you can imagine I had plenty of time to look at them. They looked so good. They were $3.99 per package. Or 2 packages for $7.00. I'm thinking "that's a good deal". HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Right this minute I can remember how good they looked. So salty......so crispy......so fatty. Only $7.00 for two bags!!!

ETA: I didn't buy them.
