THE RACE ON THE LOOSE CABOOSE

[witheraway1]

YEAH! after being on a 6 weeks stall I finally lost 1 lb hope the stall is passed. Look luck everyone!

[MsHeirloom]

Wither- Congratulations.  You are a very patient woman !  You are so close to your goal that your body is taking some convincing to let go of those last few pounds.  Pam

Congratulations Wither

I am at a maintain this week at 276.  I think it was all those meals we ate out over the week end.

[crickadoodle]

Eating out will do it to you, Wendy!  At least it was a maintain -- right? 

Wither -- woo hoo! 

[Clown Lady]

I topped out at 232 and acording to my new Wii I lost 1.8 pounds.  I am eating right and working out before breakfast on the wii and feeling better.  I will be going down again.

I think I am up 3 #.  Sister is gone and I am not eating wrong...just not eating t the right times.  I guess but it is ok next week is another day.  Hugs Karen

You only have 12 lbs to go.....GOOD FOR YOU! You can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

[barrypaxton]

Thanks Wither. It's coming off really slow now but I don't care. I'm going to be eating this way the rest of my life so I figure "what's the hurry?" I know that it will be gone FOREVER!!!

I love that thought.  This is a plan for life so if you lose slowly its ok. 

[crickadoodle]

Ollie, you are right about that!  I have experienced that it really is gone forever!  I know that in the past I was able to lose the weight, but not keep it off.  When I teach my classes I try to help people understand that it is not success just to lose the weight.  Success is losing it and keeping it off.  There have been others I know losing weight and then gaining it back in the time I've lost and kept it off.  They maybe lost it quicker than I did, but guess where they are today???  I know which way of eating works the best and I'm enjoying the results.  People get this desperation when they have lots of weight to lose and they focus so much on the losing -- and not the reality of needing a doable way of eating that satifies you and makes you healthy.  It needs to be something you can do for the long term.  We can live with LDL and live well with it.  The pineapple I just ate was so delicious.  I eat really good food.  My taste buds are happy and my body is happy and healthy!  Eureka!  We've found it!

You are so right Crickadoodle
I had a friend who came over yesterday.  She was telling me how her daughter is taking some kind of drops and eating 500 calories a day and losing weight like crazy.  When I said there is no way she can stick to a diet like that the response was maybe not but she can at least get the weight off and then worry about keeping it off later.  I remember well the desperation!

[LINDA RN]

Thankfully reporting I am down 2 pounds at 180 today!
Creeping toward that halfway point!

Congratulations Linda!! That is so awesome!

[Kathie]

Well, sigh... I am here but not liking what I see on the scale.  I guess if I want to get this weight off I really have to concentrate and get my self in the right state of mind. I dont want to gain all of this weight back.  So today I will recomit to LDL before I am in that terrible cycle of eating totally wrong again.  I am gonna go for 135 pounds and I am not far off from that.  Dr said that 143 was great but I feel that my body will allow me to loose more.. Thanks Crick for that.
Today I am at 144 and after work today I will be headed down to Moms till Friday night. I still can check in on her pc to try to keep myself motavated and my eye on the sparrow.  I feel that I will have some good news to report on Monday of next week.. Chug Chug..
Hugs! Kathie in Fl.

[Kathie]

Nice loss Linda RN.. congrats!

[witheraway1]

I am the same. I find that for me I have to really, really be focused.No playing around EVER for my weight to move then it  don't want to go.

Nice loss Linda, Happy for you!

[wendysgoodnews]

Linda RN you are doing wonderful, congratulations
I am maintaining at 276 again this week.  I know we are supposed to be able to eat out as long as we eat LDL but after eating out twice this week- end with out of town company again the scales haven't moved.
