Re: THE RACE ON THE LOOSE CABOOSE
Wow, Ollie, 10 lbs. to go sounds so exciting!!
And Wendy, 2 more lbs. to 100 lbs. lost. Sounds like it is time for a new profile picture. I see your last one is when you'd lost 60 + lbs. You are doing so well!
And there is a lot to be said about maintaining too. If you are doing what you know is right, just be patient with yourself.
Just a reminder, building muscle will increase your metabolism and you will lose faster. Also, don't skimp on eating because you will cause your body to be in starvation mode -- it hangs on to fat in that case. Get moving and the earlier in the day you do aerobic things, the longer the period of time you'll burn calories at a higher rate. Aerobic exercise increases your metabolism for the day -- muscle building increases your metabolism in the long term. (I know, I sound like a broken record!)

Re: THE RACE ON THE LOOSE CABOOSE
Oh boy! I am up 2 lbs this week. Hopefully next week I will be getting more sleep and not eating at weird hours. At one time this week I was up 4 lbs so these 2 lbs will also have to go.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. My weight loss had slowed down. I was losing a lb about every other week. Recently I've been losing a lb every week. Makes me really smile when I think about never being fat again!!! So many cute clothes in the smaller size. I put a new top on this morning. I didn't try it on in the store...just assumed that I was a medium. Well, I should have gotten the small!! I

Many blessings,

Re: THE RACE ON THE LOOSE CABOOSE
Question.....are we all still weighing in for the "Race on the Loose Caboose"? Seems like there's not many people checking in each week. Did every one jump off the train?
I am down another lb this week.

I am still the same. But consider that good since we had all that Thanksgiving food around.

Re: THE RACE ON THE LOOSE CABOOSE
I have been wondering that also. Plus what happened to the ones that were taking us from town to town?
I am the same still this morning. I have been eating LDL so will just keep on until it starts going down again.
