Heh Mame,terrific!!!Let your first goal be 160.

I overate this weekend so I will be lucky to breakeven by tom. I was 183 last Tues. Tonight, just over 184! I did 35 mins eliptical this afternoon, and watched what I ate today. I am always higher at night so maybe. I will do another 35 mins tom before going for my 5:00 p.m. weigh-in.

My sister Renee who is 3 years younger than I (51) and overweight was hospitalized this past weekend because her sugar was extremely high - 22. This was a first for her. She was released on Sunday & has to take pills as well as INSULIN for the next couple of weeks as well as monitor her blood daily!!!She will be seeing an endocrinologist as soon as possible. We have diabetes in our family!!!! This was a real warning sign for her (this could have happened to me much earlier on as well!!!). I better keep on eating healthy food and exercising & keep my weight down.

How did you do this weekend Denecee? Good week to all of us !!!

Thx Gilda, I'm aiming for 159 actually. It's the psychological lift of going under the 6s to the 5s if you know what I mean.

Sending big hugs Renee's way. :-)

Mame,I know what you mean! Thks for Renee. Im going to call now to see what her sugar was this a.m.

Well its nearly 10:30 a.m. My weight with clothes is 183.4. I better jump on that eliptical. Unfortunately, what a day to have to go for lunch with an old friend from my childhood when I have a weigh in at 5:00 p.m. Looking forward to seeing her though!

The problem right now for me is that I am really sick. I have this horrible summer cold and I can't exercise because it hurts my lungs to exert myself. Also, I am starting cake decorating and so it's a taste of frosting here, taste of cake there, not good for my cellulite control issues.
BUT, yay for you losers!

Gilda, I gained a bit but no worries, I'll be back to my Friday weight by tomorrow, lol.
Escapee, that would be hard for me too. I have a sweet tooth that never sleeps.

I love this thread, it makes me feel not alone.
sending some will power out to all my loser friends!

Hi Mame, hi Escapee,sorry you are not feeling well! Cake decorating - are u doing it for fun or business? Feel better soon! Hi Denecee, its really great to have all of here to support one another throughout our journey to goal.

I had lunch with my old friend Helen plus my friend Lois from here. I just had a tuna salad with thin bagel chips. It was so boring tasting with a plain dressing of olive oil, vinegar & a hint of dijon. I was surprised to see that my weight was 182.6 when I got home. So at least I wont show a gain! LOL

Gilda for fun mostly, but if I get good enough at it, I wouldn't turn away freelance business (or my dream of a bakery/coffeeshop/bookstore)

Gilda, I hope Renee can get that blood sugar back to normal. Maybe she'll use the warning as a second chance and try to get healthy with you. You are setting a good example and made especially good food choices for lunch today. Congratulations on another loss this week. :-)

Escapee, I hope you get well soon!

FWIW, I want to share an observation a fitness trainer/motivational speaker shared with a group in our town. He said that unless you have a medical restriction (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes), there are no "good" and "bad" foods. There are good and bad portion sizes. Food is just fuel for the body.

I remember that last sentence frequently when I'm tempted to overeat. I don't think he meant we should eat tiny portions of sweets, etc. all day though. LOL! He made the comments in response to a woman who was horrified when he suggested our walking group stop for an ice cream after our last session.

YAH Mame!!!! you are on your way!

Gilda, glad you had fun with your friend, next week you will see even more progress!

Escapee, just take care of yourself this week. Eventually tasting will lose its appeal and you wont find that you want to as much. Prolly a good thing, would be for me, cuz cakes and sweets is a prob for me :-)

Mak, I like the way that trainer thinks!

so I managed to lose the pound I gained over the weekend by just counting calories.

Mak1, I agree with the trainer.

Still sick, but trying to stay on track. The cake is still in the fridge and I haven't heard it call me yet, so that's a plus. Chomped an apple for breakfast.

Denecee, that's awesome, 1 down!

BAH.
I can go in daily calories, anywhere in a week, from 1000-ish, to 2500 or more. (That's just my high one for this week.)

Argh.
I haven't weighted myself since Sunday, so tomorrow I think I'll hop on and see what the damage is.

Neko, me too, on the calories going up and down. It shows on the scales for sure.
last night I let myself get too hungry and ended up eating cereal for dinner followed by two pieces of bacon and a cup of dry not good for you cereal plus a few pita chips. I think that is called binge eating on a smaller but still not good level.

LOL I really do think that I'm a mini-binge eater.
Though, it the last while, I think I might have been an actual binge eater. I was eating till I was hurting I was so full, then I still wanted to eat more, and at most times did.

I like food WAY too much!

I went on the scale today and it said I've lost 4 pounds. I'm sure that won't be the same tomorrow. LOL

I"d agree with the fuel thing, but just like in a car, you use the 'wrong' kind of fuel, you don't go very far. JMHO

Yay for Neko on the 4 lbs even if you find 2 of them tomorrow, it's a big loss today!

Yay 'Necee & Neko! :-)

Visited mom today when she got back to the nursing home from the hospital... When I walked into her room, she says - 'you need to lose weight'. I leave the room for 2 minutes. I walk back in and she says - 'you look like you lost weight'! Cracked me right up. Oh and when I told her that 'yes, I lost one pound', she said, 'but that's the one you lost last week'. I was so busted!!! Too funny!

Dahli, I suspect that if he had gone further with the subject, he would be in agreement with you, and so am I. The woman who expressed horror towards the ice cream was giving the food the power, when the power to eat a healthy, well balanced diet is really all within her power.

MameB, that is a cute and funny story! Your mom is still pretty darned sharp. I'm glad she's back in the NH.

Yay to all the losers!

I have lost about 4 pounds, but will confirm the number when I get home and weigh on my starting scale. I'm out of town at the moment.

Hang in there everyone!

I had a 1lb gain over the weekend, but that's to be expected because my "camping" trip was filled with junk food and large meals out.

I'm in a "competition" with two of my co-workers about who can lose the most weight (or inches) in a month (starting today!).
We did a quick week one, and that was were I lost the 4 pounds.

We're all not being un-healthy about it, we just all realised we're eating WAY MORE than we need and no really being all that active.

I "won" the last round, and I have every intention of winning this one too. LOL
