Sunday Successes

I have a small loss. When I updated in Check-in I was prompted to recalculate my goals. (lost 10 lbs since starting MFP in July :drinker: ) I decided to change my goal weight to 130. For my ht/age my range is 111 - 147. I'm back in my range! And, optimistic that I can ultimately get to mid-range.

Good luck to all!

Hi everyone,,, sorry I missed you this weekend,,,,
lots going on and I must confess, I didn't log on at all.
and for the 3rd week in a row I'm still the same,,,,, I beginning to wonder if I;ll ever brake past 147
someday, I feel this is the day,, but my scale says no,,,, maybe It's broken????:laugh:
So 0 ib this week

I've desided I'm going to really challange myself with exercise this week and see if I can brake though.
Great job, jigs, and skywalker,,,,
Jax dont beat yourself up,, sometimes we have bad week or months,,, but if you don't give up it'll happen for you... You just have to take it a day at a time,,, and sometimes you go up & sometimes you go down,,,,,,, My mom told me It took a long time to get this weight on,,,, and It'll take a long time to get it off......but if you give up It won't come off at all....... I spent a long time trying to understand that.... the secreat is not quiting........I started this program back in Feb of this year... and It's taken me 8 months to lose almost 25 lbs.....but I've desided giving up is not an option this time...no matter how long it take... It's becoming my life style, not my diet.... And I've also been told chocolate is good for you and I'm a true chocoholic,,,,,, and plain for my dose almost everyday...... My favorate are the dark chocolate kisses.... I can control my amount that way. Keep moving,,, we are here for you jax.:flowerforyou:

Slow is the way to go.

Good for you, Jax, not using drugs to enhance your weight loss. My supervisor is out on leave. Just had the bariatric (sp?) surgery. He's a big guy with no health problems related to his weight. I was surprised his doctor agreed to the surgery. For me, weight loss is a life-style change. Eating better and exercising.

I stopped by the bowling alley this week. Hesitated in my car thinking, "I'm going to embarrass myself in there." Despite several cars, only one group of four ladies were bowling. I studiously ignored them on my way in hoping they would return the favor when I started throwing gutter balls. So, I got my shoes and selected a ball, and had to bowl two lanes from the ladies. I look at them. They look at me. We smile, laugh, and give each other hugs. It's two of my aunts, a cousin, and a neighbor lady of theirs. (My dad has since divorced their sister, my step-mother, but after all these years, I still think of them as family.) So now I get to embarrass myself in front of people who know me and will tell everyone we know. :laugh: I only threw three gutters before picking up the pace to end both of my games with respectable scores. I plan to bowl one night a week to replace my golf night.

My big news this week is that I've been accepted into law school. Yep, I'm 45 years old and making a career change. I've just reached tenure/vesting at my current job with no promotion. Never happened to me before. I'm a mover. My supervisor will be retiring in about 3 years and I already know I will not be considered for his replacement, so I decided to go back to school. I can't say what made me even look into law school prerequisites, but once I saw that I could get in I thought how proud my dad would be to have a lawyer in the fam. So, I'm gonna give it a go.

Thanks for reading my lengthy post. Good luck to you this week. I know we can do it!! :flowerforyou:

Sorry I missed you all this weekend I was out of town and couldn't weigh in...and after this weekend I'm not sure if I wanted to... visiting family, and eating out alot.. I know I didn't do very good... but this is a new week and I still, have 4 day,,, maybe I can reverse some of the damage.. But I had so much fun I don't even feel bad about it .... Slow is good right!!!!!!!

Jigs congrat on being accepted to Law School... thats wonderful...... I really admire you for it. you'll do great....

Keep up the great work everyone:drinker:

No change for me this week...

I slept in and still get to post first on this thread. Needed to put off weigh in after eating a candy bar or two this week. Not logging my food and exercise. Didn't do any extra exercise this week, since I'm giving my hamstring some time to rest. Still managed to lose a few tenths of a pound.

Hope you are all successful this week!

I was gone again this weekend,, and missed you all... but I did weigh and guess what I did it hit 146.. i was so excited.. and its been two days sence and I'm still there..... no more 147.. I hope for ever.
Sky walker, sometimes thats all you have to do is just keep plugging along.. this I think was my hardest platue to get past... I've been told that the closer you get to your goal (Normal weight) the harder it gets to drop each lb.. I'm finding that to be true..

keep up the good work ladies :drinker:
don't giveup and eat to much candy this week end:laugh:

Success! I hope you were successful, too! I didn't gain from Halloween candy, even though my husband insisted on buying a couple bags of candy 'just in case'. No kids showed up so we have lots of candy for me to take to work tomorrow to share with my co-workers.

I lost a whole pound!! :drinker: Now I feel rewarded for choosing ice tea over a margarita yesterday at lunch.

I wasn't expecting to lose this week. But, I still did. Not quite a whole pound. I'm feeling really good in the low 140s. My clothes fit comfortably.
