Hi Nancy,

Scale says I am .5 pounds lower than when I started. Maybe if I actually changed my eating habits or did some exercise, it might change more. :)

Good Job, Nancy.

I'll keep checking in as an example of how hard it is to make the commitement, which makes all your guys accomplishments even more impressive.

Congrats Nancy, you're doing so well!

And congrats to you too Bob. You're losing weight and not even trying? Think what would happen if you TRIED to lose.

Well congrats to me too. Sort of. I'm still at 12lbs down. Haven't lost any "scale" weight in almost 3 weeks. I'm on one of those proverbial plateaus we all know and love so much.

But I am sticking to my diet, every day (except for last Saturday, Sunday and Monday but I escaped with my life), and even in the time I have not lost any scale lbs, I have noticed my clothes looser, my arms thinner, my face a bit thinner. I'm keeping at it, and the scale will start showing it soon too.

Yea!!!

Nancy

The Road Trip gang must be feeding me too much junk up at ResortGirl's place, because I gained a pound this week. angry
So much for the lose weight without even trying plan, Weiner!
So now I'm half a pound up from where I started. Looks like it's time for plan 2.

Sorry Bob and Nancy. I know how you feel. Been there.

This week I lost another couple pounds so I am up to (or down to) having lost 14 lbs. I had a most delicious lunch yesterday at a local Mexican restaurant. I ate too much for one meal, but limited the rest of the day to some leftover tortilla chips and an apple and a banana (and the ever-present Diet Cokes I swill), so it was a good day after all.

Keep on keeping on (or keeping it off) or something.

Bob - What IS Plan 2?

Yay, Nancy and Weinermr! Bob, I think it might be Buttercup's fault. She can be a very bad influence, you know.

Mr. Weiner, plan 2 is to actually do some things like eat better and exercise. I guess my original plan to lose weight by posting more didn't work.

The goofy scale says I lost 1.5 pounds this week, but I'm guessing last weeks reading may have been a little high. Anyway, that leaves me at a total of 1 pound lost.

Juju: I know, boy do I know!

Hey, I don't think my weight gain is Buttercup's fault, but I do know for sure that it can be attributed to butter. And don't forget the mayo.

Post a little faster Bob, the calories may be burned off just enough that way. Sound like you're right on the edge, one way or t'other.

I lost 1 pound last week. Total lost is 2 pounds.

yeh bob--there ya go--i've lost i think another 2 (or close to that) this week--s/b 34 lbs in 22 weeks --tomorrow is official weigh-in...

I just figured out i almost "lost my great-niece" (she weights 40 lbs at 3 yr 2 months).. :-)

Great job, Nancy! and thanks.

Since I didn't really do anything for the first few months (other than joke around) I think I'll reset my start time to 1 week ago and make it a total of 1 pound lost in 1 week. That will be easier for me to track the overall progress a few weeks down the road.

Hi, Can I join too? I really need to lose about 50 lbs. My cholesterol and triglicerides and all that jazz are too high.

I am one of those people that looks like an olive on a toothpick. You know what I mean? Skinny arms and legs and from chin to legs a big ol blob.

Just please don't ask me my weight, cause i'll never tell. :)

Do ya'll "meet" every morning or what? I just joined a small gym that has something called an express workout and i have already quit going! I have been trying to walk 1 to 2 miles a day but since I am in Texas and it is hotter than hell i use that as an excuse not to walk.

Well, thanks for reading this!

OF COURSE you can join sisalou --we weigh in once a week--but can always 'meet' more than that--i'm having my cholesterol re-checked tomorrow first time since i've started looosing-feb it was 220 and ldl was 147 so i'm interested in seeing what my now 35 lbs lighter body's cholesterol is

it doesnt matter what you weight just report what your loosing---and set up mini-goals for yourself--i.e loosing 10 lbs instead of loosing 50(i had to loose 70 and that would have scared me to death--LOL)

Thanks for the advice Nancy. I think I'll participate, maybe it will be the boost I need.

I hope your levels have come down. I'm sure they have since you have lost the weight. Be sure and let us know if they dropped cause my DR said if my don't drop from diet/exercise I will have to go on lipitor.

Hey, Plan 2 appears to be working better.

I lost 4 pounds this week, making it a total of 5 pounds for 2 weeks. Basically I cut a lot of junk out of the diet, brought lunch to work all 5 days and got to the club 3 times. 60 minutes on the elliptical machine and 30-45 minutes of weight lifting have left most every muscle in my body sore, but the knees feel better than when I used to use a treadmill. :)

<kind of feel like Gerry without the internet cameras>

I'll admit I didn't take the time to read this whole thread...I was just wondering if anyone has had any success with Metabolife? Did you experience any adverse affects?

Last post for me until 9/30.

This Week: 1.5 pounds lost
Total Lost: 6.5 pounds
Total Weeks: 3

So I will see what 18 days on the sea and the road does to the excercise program and the diet. I have access to equipment most of the trip, so maybe I can at least come back the same as I am leaving!
