Re: Good things must come in threes...

[Guest guest]

Wolfie and Candi, congrats on the newest of your losses!!! Finally today

I'm envious. I've been at a plateau for awhile, not sure how long, but

today I felt it. Just have to remember that it's a plus that I haven't

gained any weight back. I really need to get more exercise, been slacking

off lately. Today I get to see my granddaughter, so I'll be running after

her. Can't wait for 6 weeks so I can lift her again!

Wolfie you are soo funny!!!!! I have not been on a bike in ages but I am

thinking I might try it when the weather warms up in the spring again.

Now

I may have to re-consider!!!!

We must be on the same page because I woke up and weighed this morning and

I

was also down three pounds for a grand total of 80 now for me!!!! You and

I

should hit the 100 mark right around the same time!!!

I was so excited I started screaming Merry Christmas!!!

Candi

Well girl I got up this evening and weighed in again and I am down yet

another three pounds. I was to to happy! That is a surgery date total of

79 for me

now and a total of 92 just prior to surgery. I was walking into a shop the

other day to go pick out my bowling gear I wanted and I looked at my side

reflection and I told my man that I really could tell now I was slimming

down. It was

my first REAL REALITY check. Me looking back at me...it was something!

Then of

course I come back and make nice with the pavement. I was so happy I

didn't

break something but hot dang I feel like I was hit by a bus today. And my

BICYCLE SAVING b/f just isn't in my good graces right now so I can only

hope that

he wants to give THAT DEVIL BIKE a spin and falls slap the he** off of

it,lol.

He is so tall though he can just put his legs down and stop. I didn't have

that much trouble when I was a kid. I wonder if maybe my legs really have

shrunk,

lol. That or maybe the roads are " LOWER " LOL

Noted that you were stuck for a while .. it happens .. but I bet you lose

more tomorrow !! Its odd, once the weight starts moving it usually continues

for a few days.

As for me, my vacation and Christmas behind me now, ... it's nose to the

grind-stone time. Yes I've been a smidgen " bad " as my weight gain indicates.

No prob. A few days in the " back to basics " arena........ Protein, Water,

Exercise !!!... and I'll be moving in the right direction again too...

It's a bummer isn't it? Mine starts and stops as well Wolfie. Oh well I

good with any loss. Today's my little baby's birthday.....he'll be 26!!!

Hey ladies!

Mine starts and stops too... though I took Wolfie's advice on upping

the protein and water and have lost 2 pounds since Monday.. that's

the 1st time the scale has moved in almost a month.. Maybe it was

just waiting til Christmas when it could give me my own little

present!

I had that same thing happen yesterday! I went out to Old Navy and

got a sweater cause a dear friend gave me a gift card for Christmas

and I got lots of hugs, and " Dang, you look incredible! " It was THE

best feeling ever!! Makes me feel not so bad about turning 30 in a

couple weeks.. LOL!

was weird was that I never even liked Doritos. But I bought the baked ones

for my hubby who loves them and he tried one and said " These are better than

regular Doritos " . So I tasted just a tiny bite thinking I would not like

them. Boy that was an error. But I won't eat anymore. But I did feel

guilty after I did eat the 4 of them that day.

I just don't feel that eating four baked doritoes was a bad thing at

Thanks Mandy, I looked back and it was only 5 days of not losing, so really

not too bad, but looking at my schedule the last week, not only did I slack

off on water, but food too. So I'm going to eat properly today and down the

water. I've heard so many on here say that helps, so I'm ready to try it.

I " sneaked " a teeny, teeny bite of gourmet Baklava yesterday, and what a

MISTAKE!!!!! All I wanted was more of it. I knew better, but my head

hunger got in the way. Luckily there are only 2 pieces left, and the guys

will finish it tonight and it won't be calling my name!

Candi, at least sharing, we're learning. I was so glad to hear someone else

in this great big world had the sweet compulsion. And I really hate to say

it, but I don't have any Doritos, but I think I can taste them. I guess

each time we turn something down like that, we become stronger.\
