So far, I have lost 32 pounds. It is slow, but, I have learnt a different way to live. So, as long as I don't gain, and it comes off slowly.

Ginger that is great! Slow and steady is the best! My happy weight is 144, so about 10 lbs to go. I chime in on Friday with my weight loss or gain!

Woh Ginger! Impressive weight loss!! How long did it take you to lose 32 lbs? First thing this a.m. my weight was 182.8 just with my underwear on, lol. Today, I started (for 5 days only) a detox diet eating mostly fruits and vegis, whey protein. By the 3rd day you add bouillon & 4th day jello, yogurt, & 5th day soft boiled egg.

I really started paying attention and counting calories in and calories out for the last two weeks with an hour of treadmill/recumbent bike every other day and since July 14th I have lost 9lbs. Yippee for me. Congrats Ginger, how are you feeling?

That is great, Ginger! Probably the best part is that you have made changes to your lifestyle to keep the weight off. Congrats to Gilda and Jasper, too! I'm still having lots of muscle pain which is slowing me down a lot. I think it is slowly improving, and I'm continuing to work out to the best of my ability. Rah rah rah to everyone! Keep up the good work.

Been bad, been so, so, so bad. Ate like a fat kid all weekend long. You name it, I ate it. Cake, nachos, hot dogs, french fries, ice cream, etc. etc. (slinks off to her corner)

At one of my jobs, I used to get a free gym membership. Unfortunately, they pulled out on their end of the deal, and now we don't get them anymore. Since then (it's been about a month or month and a half since I've gone to a gym) I've gained around 5-10 pounds. Needless to say, I feel like I'm getting a little too chunky around my middle (I was chunky before, I'm extra chunky now!!), so I went and bought 3 months of gym membership. I have every intention of going everyday like I did before I went to Cuba in the beginning of May. I need to stop eating so badly and so much though, cause it'll DERAIL everything I do at the gym. So here I am! Starting today, I'm losing weight with all of you!

Welcome, Neko! You're starting with the best attitude. LOL Escapee! You have to slink faster to burn off all those extra calories. I lost .6 this week. Every tenth counts. Right? Whatever I have injured appears to be healing. I am moving much easier today. I still can't do all my stretches, but will take any improvement as a positive sign.

Welcome aboard Neko! Escapee! We all have those kind of days/weekends. Just part of the course! Thats why I only lost .2 oz last week and .4 oz the week before! Im never consistent, there are just so many temptations! Well I did not last on my detox diet beyond this afternoon. It was too restrictive. But mainly I could not stand the smoothies that I was making with the whey protein powder. I must say that it did help me lose 2 lbs 4 oz yesterday at my weigh in at Weight Watchers. Down to 183 lbs. 33-38 lbs more to go. I want to let you all know about an inexpensive purchase I made at Wallmart recently. I bought a slimmer belt from a company called Everlast. It was only $5.99. I put it on just before getting onto my eliptical machine and it supports my lower back which is great because I do have a back problem. On the box it says that it enhances aerobic conditioning, helps shed excess water (it sure does), trims appearance instantly, keeps muscles warm and limber, supports lower back and burn more calories. This belt would be great for going on long walks as well. Thinking of you all! Great week ahead!

Thank you Denecee and Pam. Heh thats great Pam that you are back down! I am rooting for you to lose those 10 lbs!!! Denecee,now that I think of it...I bought that belt here in Montreal at a store called Winners, but I do believe that I saw it at Wallmart as well for $7.99. Let me know if you find it.

Gilda, I just need to remember to look for it when I go to wally world! I get so distracted in that store, lol. Confession time. I have not been watching my calories which is vital to me losing an ounce much less the 11 lbs I need to lose just to get to my "happy weight." I do have water weight at this precious time of the month for me(gag)but I can't blame it all on that. 155!!! I guess that glimpse I got at 150 was a tease to myself. sorry...I'm not being very positive. ok so this weekend I will NOT gain!!
