Well it seems like this is a common side effect of weight loss. I sure hope I soon realize that I am not the size I think I am and begin enjoying the new me. Take care all and thanks for your comments.:smile:

I tread water and drink beer. Does that count? [/quote] This site needs a like button lol

Exactly, this is what happened to me. Drink lots of water after and flush out the salt.

My weight goes up and down 5 pounds during the course of a day. Don't let a pound or two worry you. Get back on track and just keeping going forward. Some days you will be up and other days you will be down. Just keep plugging forward and slowly lose the weight. It will come off eventually and it will be a life style…

This happens to everyone. Just continue on and have a great day.

I pop my own popcorn almost every night and add 2 tsp of melted margarine.

That is exactly how I started in March 2013. I now do 30 min every day. I also ate back 1/2 my calories when I was hungry. Count your calories and enjoy your workout. You will be losing before you know it. Best of luck to you.

Just curious how you made out with the Chinese food?

Very well put!! Excellent post!!

I can so relate to eating the dough lol. I usually count it as 4 cookies. I eat a lot of the dough when I make chocolate chip cookies. I can't help myself. The last time I made them I chewed gum the entire time I was mixing and baking. That helped lots. I made all the cookies and didn't eat any dough at all.

Thanks so much everyone for all your kind words. I love the way I feel now, more energy and just happy in my skin. I still have a way to go but it is great to have the weight off going into summer. Everyone stay focused and keep up the good work. Thanks again!!

Great Job! Did you combine working out with your lower food intake? Thanks, yes I use my elliptical for 30 minutes 3 to 5 times a week, dropped calories to 1280-1300 daily and eat back exercise calories if I want to. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I am doing it slowly in hopes I will keep it off by changing my life…

lol thanks, actually 53 years old 5' 5"

Thanks, I am slowly getting there. I am just taking it one day at a time.:smile:

Wow you are doing awesome!!! Keep up the great work and keep smiling!!

The elliptical is the only exercise I have been doing for the last year. So far so good!!

That's the best I can do for pictures right now, I have more and will post more later. I have been using my elliptical and counting my calories for one year now and I feel great!!

Great Attitude!!! Keep up the good work!!:smile:

I love potatoes in all forms. I have them almost every night, Mashed usually in the winter. I count the calories from the amount I eat as 3 servings (I told you I liked them). They haven't hurt my weight loss at all.:smile:

bump :smile:

Are you logging your food to count calories?

It's called Cucumber Salad, my Mom use to make it years ago. Dissolve 1 lime jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Add 1 cup of miracle whip and beat. Let stand in fridge until partly firm. Seed 1 cup of unpeeled cucumbers and grate fine. Add finely chopped onion and celery. ( Put in however much onion and celery to suit…

Is your profile picture a current picture? I am just wondering. What is your present height and weight?

That's excellent. I am really glad you had a good time and only 2 pounds that's super.:smile:

I have never quoted before so I hope this works. I agree with this post 100%

Thank you!!! You are a true inspiration

Congratulations, very nice story. Great way to start my Saturday. :heart: :flowerforyou:

That's awesome, congratulations. Keep up the good work.

5.3 lbs I agree should wait one week after you get back to get true weight. Have a great trip and enjoy.
