Come on ladies, and bird, gimme what you’ve got. And while you’re at it, what are you looking forward to/experiencing already, in your new and improved lighter life?

  1. I am at 206 exactly today. That’s down 3.6 from last week.
    I can’t wait to start seeing the 100s, cos I’m sure that won’t be far away :grin:

    I just love the way I have so much more energy. And that I can buy regular clothes. I am looking forward to the day where I can look at a photograph of myself with other people and see that I’m the same size as them (well, obviously I’m bound to be taller than they are, but width-wise!) I know it’s not too far away.

  2. My internet is better - but the site is pretty squirrelly too! I emailed our tech guru (my brother), hopefully he’ll fix it for us!

  6. 133. Ooops. PMS. Emotional eating. Crazy family stuff. It’s got to get better soon.

  7. I’m at 199.2 today, that’s up 1.4. I’m not too worried about it though because I was out of town this weekend so I didn’t get as much exercise in, made some unhealthy food choices plus it’s that time of the month. So, next week, back on track. :)

  8. 171/161.0/155

    up 1.8.
    Not sure how much is water and not sure how much is lots of exercise but poor eating. I’ve been waking up with a lot of sweeling in my feet and legs. I’m getting plenty of fluids so I’m watching my salt intake this week.

    I’m enjoying more energy. I love actually feeling like playing with my kids. i’ve never been one to really want to play and it’s nice :)

  10. Not weighing in again.

    Today I’ve been enjoying the sunshine. I cycled to Grantchester and lounged about on the river bank with some friends. I’m now feeling very tired, but at least I’ve got a reason to be tired. I like the sunshine, I’m definitely in a better mood when I get to go outside and enjoy the warm spring air.

  11. Char, good to see you’re going down again :-)

    Anita, sounds like it’s all a bit hectic for you at the moment. Praying things are better for you this week.

    Christina, get your butt into gear right now ;-)

    Stephine, I’d recommend upping the fluids even more, and see how you go.

    Julie, good to see you here. Well done :-)

    Bekki, I’m glad you’ve had a good day.

  12. No worries Deb…I got my booty in gear early this morning. I did about 45minutes of weights/abs and a 1 hour spin class. :) And my eating is back on track too. It’s going to be a GOOOOD week!

  13. By the way, even though I was out of town, on Saturday I paid a visit to the fitness center at the hotel and did a 30min walk/job and about 15min weights. :)

  14. Christina, one day I am so gonna meet you in person, and it’ll be so fun. But in the meantime, keep up the good work!

  17. I am checking in late here! One of those “the phone won’t stop ringing!” days.

    So I’m down to 193 which is good because last Tuesday I saw 196.???

    I definitely need some encouragement this week though. I’m excited about some changes I’m seeing in my mind set and desires. I’m also excited about the energy that I’ve had because of some changes (I’ll go into more detail in the future). The whole thing is is that Satan knows that there has been some SERIOUS changes going on in my mind and heart. Low and behold I got a phone call from my Mom this morning and she, my brother and my nephew are all coming down on Wednesday and leaving sometime Friday afternoon. We don’t get along. At all. They have very different lives than me. So, I need enouragement to keep going. Encouragement to not allow them or rather Satan to gain a foothold again.

  19. Debs how tall are you again? I forget? Well I have been REALLY bad this week. So I am up 3….Yeah, I know.

    Comment by Nikki — May 5, 2008 @ 2:24 pm |Edit This

  20. Nikki, I’m 6 feet tall. So I’m not sure exactly how much more I need ro lose, but at least another 25 or 30lb, and maybe more.
    IO
    Nikki you CAN do this. Maybe sit down and journal a little bit some of the reasons you want to lose this weight. Is it to have more energy? To be healthier and fitter? What are your personal dreams? If you have those things at the front of your mind, you may find it easier to stay on track.
    Actually,I think I might write a post about this tomorrow. In the meantime, I’m sending you lots of big hugs

  21. Thanks Debs. Journaling is a really good idea really. I never thought about that. I am not sure what my problem is, but I think its a God issue. Like I refuse to let Him be my source of comfort, so I seek food. Its so lame!!!!!
    You are one tall lady! That is so cool though! I am on a taller side, but you have 4 inches on me! I didn’t realise you are getting so close to your goal weight. Even if you don’t know what that is.
