Spygirl | Saturday, September 28, 2002 - 07:38 am     I'm literally walking my butt off I've also cut back on everything -- all foods. I'm eating small portions, gulping down vitamins, and now I'm eating no fried foods, very little fat, and no more fast food. I've just started the diet portion and I'll talk more about that as it progresses. It seems to be working for me right now, but I've got a long road ahead of me. It is going to be very difficult. |
Nancy | Saturday, September 28, 2002 - 10:04 am     but your averageing 2 lbs a week thats awesome--i did that for about the first 12 weeks now i average 1.5 a week but since i've 25 to go that's still not bad-- good luck to you! |
Spygirl | Saturday, September 28, 2002 - 01:59 pm     But, I've got a lot more to lose than you did |
Nancy | Saturday, September 28, 2002 - 07:19 pm     a good quote they use at my ww meetings a lot--is 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'

Jagger | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 06:55 am     I put myself on a diet at the begining of summer, not much of a diet, just learned to eat less when I eat a meal and to grab something like an apple or carrot sticks instead of a twinkee or chips for a snack. So far I have lost 17 pounds, still have a long way to go to meet my goal. The worst part is winter is on it's way, that is usally when I gain everything back, plus a few. This winter I vowed that that would not happen, time will tell. |
Nancy | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 07:00 am     good luck jagger--you can do it--i started dieting in march so the winter was just finishing but i know i'll make it thru this winter because i've come to far to blow it-luckily my family is not into big thansgiving christmas celebrations so i don't have that tempation--plus i go to there homes so i don't have leftovers |
Jagger | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 07:06 am     Thanks for the encouragement Nancy, the holidays are pretty easy for me too, it's the long winters not being able to get outside and enjoy the weather that kills me, but I am bound and determined not to let it happen this year. |
Nancy | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 07:08 am     maybe join a gym? i joined one in april and its been a god send for me--with the colder weather here in mass. i need the gym--(or a home gym!) |
Pottedplant | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 11:42 am     well I am still here too. But I am so fed up. I loose 2 then up 3 loose 1 plus 2 loose 3 gain 1 ~~ I guess this is the proverbial plateau. I was so determined to make a 0 by 09/30, but it looks like that will not happen. oh well maybe next week. |
Babyruth | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 04:31 pm     Nancy, I have to tell you how inspirational your success, your enthusiasm and your recipe/weight loss posts are!! My sweetpea and I have decided to (re-)join Weight Watchers tomorrow. We took a 16 week run of it three years ago and both did well, but the weight has crept back up and we're back to square one. UGH. So we decided this weekend that it's time to get sensible again. I still have much of the written material/resource stuff and a cookbook, and NOW there is the online help too. Add all that to the positive threads and encouragement found here at TVCH, and I think we'll do well. So, thank you to you and all the other posters here, for the positive environment. |
Nancy | Sunday, September 29, 2002 - 06:51 pm     good luck babyruth--i've had so many people tell me lately that i'm either an inspiration to them--or they've told my story to others to inspire them that i'm gettng a swelled head(how much does that way?) --lol just kidding--but by my inspiring others it also helps me to loose my last 20 and keep it off |

Nancy | Tuesday, October 01, 2002 - 06:17 pm     only .2 this week for a total of 40.2 in 28 weeks--but that's not too shabby |
Nancy | Wednesday, October 02, 2002 - 04:34 am     i posted this in the quote thread but it fits here too--(and reminds me that .2 is OK) A State of Mind If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win but you think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you've lost. For out of the world you find Success begins with a person's will. It's all in the state of mind. ~ David Parry Nancy |
