Gayle i just saw your post about clearer calmer mind from chinese medicine !!! I need that too!! What was the medicine? And very exciting to see you break your plateau!! I am so proud of you for not giving up. You remain my hero! What is clease effect? Your 173.5 is REAL. If it goes up again, it is just water weight!

Charlie - what is positional vertigo?

God the 80s when women dressed up to exercise! Why dont women need leg warmers any more? Why did men never need them? Pilates had a special table? What kind of special table?

To each her own of course, so here is a bit more why pilates works for me, personally. Yoga bores me, but pilates doesnt because the constant slow motion isometrics keep my brain occupied, and the teachers constant patter about what my body should be doing keeps me alert. For instance every once in awhile she'll say "relax…

beginner pilates video, 30 minutes. I love her english accent. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ckNDq41C7Yo&sns=em

Pilates Sorry i cant find who posted comment that pilates is hard, but this reply is for you and everyone. Perhaps you werent doing beginners pilates? The first class i took was very easy and just called pilates so i assumed there was only one kind. imagine my embarrassment when i went to a different class by the same…

Reporting twice this week cuz first report was late, and now im thrilled to report ive dipped into 189's again! Goal: lose one pound a week. 7/2/15-193 7/11/15-192.8 7/17/15 - 191 7/24/15-189.2 8/2/15-190.2 Family reunion 8/11/15-190.8 8/14/15-189.6

Quick post before out the door Gayle - YAY for 173.5!!!!!

Thanks for support guys! Actually when i returned monday i was two pounds up, then lost one by wednesday when i reported in, and lost the other by this morning. So Turns out it was 2 lbs of water weight, that disappeared when i got back on the low-carb, no-simple-carb, program. Thank you atkins! Im so glad mr atkins…

Back in town Nice family reunion Loving, enabling relatives, sugar-wise. Why does love have to be shown with sugar? Sisters mountain of cookies constantly on display Aunts acre of peach cobbler Nephews assembly line of s'mores angry child took over after only one day Bingeing on sugar i told myself that when home id…

Just realized i dont have scale in mich so my weekly report will be delayed again. Yesyerday had fruit salad with protien breakfast and was hungry all day Today did not and hunger back under control Interesting how breakfast carbs, even as healthy fruit, really mess me up.

Yes Marney tell all!

Flew all day from oregon to family reunuion in mich. Was worried my angry child would hijack me as usual and make me buy a candy bar, so i took my 88% dark chocolate and she behaved! She didnt even stand and stare at the airport candy! But tomorrow the reunion starts....

Gayle -- i was in charge of retreat so of course it was brown bag :-).

Frustrating week Never saw 189 again! Not even 189.9 Goal: "Do what I'm doing and lose 1 pound per week" 7/02/15: 193 7/11/15: 192.8 7/17/15: 191 7/24/15: 189.2 8/2/15: 190.2 For my mental health, im going to switch the last two weigh ins in my mind. But my writing retreat was lovely! Beautiful little farm, fun editorial…

Fyi dont worry about me. My report late due to bad timing, days starting too early for me. Tomorrow too. Leading a writing retreat so will weigh myself on my way out the door, then check in tomorrow night.

Dittos Charlie! And congrats to the group for weight loss! I hope to report tomorrow.

Vit D -- for some reason it wasnt part of normal blood test for my annual exams. I had to ask for it, was deficient, my dr told me to take 4000 a day at first, then 2000 for rest of my life! Perhaps because live in pacific northwest.

Thats such great news Gayle! And Hope you can find reason for tiredness!

Marney, i outsmart the computer by adding "quick calories". In other words, i lie. Another trick -- this one for night owls. I never can complete my diary before midnight, but the back arrow at the top lets me go back to "yesterday" and complete my diary there. I just have to make sure i start my diary before midnight.

Thanks Gayle! I saw your post after i added my "sheesh"

Sheesh see what i mean? Those numbers should be 6/23/15: 193 7/24/15: 189.2

Gayle there is much stress in just the plateau itself. It is so unfair! I live in dread of it because it is has always made me give up and gain more. I so admire you for sticking with the program despite your plateau! Would it help the "plateau stress" to focus on fact that you are not gaining weight back? So until the…

Pleasantly surprised that this morning my number down in less than week And i have left the 190's behind! Goal: lose one pound a week. (Forgive me for not listing all numbers. I don't have a list to cut and paste from, and numbers dont stick in my brain. Idea - i could write them down on actual paper!) 6/14/15: 194.2…

Charlie thanks for MapMyRide info! Sounds perfect. I will check it out

National gummy worm day?! How old was the calendar's creator? Switch topic - mfp does not have "biking uphill" as exercise option, so i chose "vigorous, 14-15 mph" Full disclosure - i do not bike uphill at 14 mph! :-)

We will get muscles together Gayle!

Sorry busy Quick Weigh in report 7/17/15: 191 one pound lost this week - my goal. Have lost one pound a week since i got my scale 4 lbs total Almost half of ten :-)

I've Seen no posts here since 7/14. Wondering if ive fallen off the list
