Eva....chip away at it slowly .... that is a lot to lose in a year ... I'm not saying it can't be done but make sure you get the proper nutrition ..... and you need to treat yourself from time to time ... I need at least a Snickers every two weeks or I get all hairy:D

Well, how about 142-138. My ex-cardio wanted me to lose 50 lbs before surgery when my heart and valves were aching and I could not even breath well:rolleyes:

Today, I weighed 167

Starting weight out from hospital: 166
Then dropped to 160
last week: 172
today: 166 (it was all fluids, and as per cardio's instructions yesterday, no more salt for the time being). and to avoid the three Ss: Salt, Sugar, Sat. Fat.
 
I am up 5 pounds since May.:mad: So now if I can lose those 5 before January 19th I would be one happy camper.

My goal for 2009 is 17 pounds so if I lose 5 by the 19th then that would be a pound a month now surely I can do that.

I am struggling but I've cut back in the last couple of days and really plan on starting a walking plan and stick to it. This week-end is very busy but on Monday I will start walking. Of course this week-end includes food. My goal is to at least maintain through the week-end.

I'm really struggling with this.

Earline ... it is hard this time a year ... don't get down on yourself ... I bet the walking will do the trick..... you can do it .... :)
 
Last time I stepped on the scale I was up to 140 :( :mad: This is NOT acceptable. However, I'm fairly certain a lot of it is water weight. I don't know if it's from having the LV lead of my ICD turned off, the saline solution I have to flush my PICC line with, or the eating out I've done a lot of lately, but whatever it is, I'm swelling BIG TIME. The last few days my feet have looked awful. :( I really hope that I can get that surgery done soon and maybe get more energy so I can get back to exercising...

More like complaining since I think he enjoys violence more than the other.
He has a huge collection of Bruce Lee movies ,but no porno, if you know
what I mean:rolleyes:
Maybe if I lost my weight I could change the status quo:)

Available upon request . . . hmmm . . . . your request or mine?:rolleyes:;):p
 
Geez, I can't believe you are all already talking about next year's goals!!! Too early for me. I'm still trying to discipline myself to succeed at this year's goals (which -- if I don't eat another thing before December 31st I might actually accomplish !!:p:p) Oh well.......

I have started moving again. Walking 6 laps around a track 3 times a week. Doing Curves when I can. Decided that my desire to have a true dependable schedule is not ever going to be workable so I've thrown my shoes and sox in the trunk of the car and am just stopping at odd times to exercise. I've bought some silly DVD's to exercise with and pop those in every once in awhile. I have become much busier in general and am hoping that it will keep me out of the kitchen. The "no carbs after 4pm" kind of went away since my husband got tired of salad. So I'm serving pasta and breads and rice and such again with dinner which i'm careful not to take a very big serving of. Soon I hope to just watch HIM eat the carbs and not give myself any!

It's quite an effort trying to be good to yourself!!!!! But even if I just feel a little bit stronger as a result, it is an improvement and if I'm headed in a positive direction then I consider it a success.

I haven't stepped on a scale recently....I've been too busy with the holidays and showering in a rush and actually forget. My clothes are not fitting better, worse actually, so even if the scale says better, I know it's not if my clothes are still tight-ish.

My, I'm rambling..... well I may not get back here again for awhile because it's just too darned crazy around here with the holidays. I just wanted to chime in and do my part to remind everyone that even though you may be indulging in treats and holiday procrastinations, it's okay because you are all going to....

KEEP ON MOVING!!

:D Marguerite

Ok, the official Chimp weigh-in report post Saturday morning WW weigh in......Down 4.6 pounds from last week:D......

Great job fearless chimp of a leader!!!

I gained two and Cindy lost one. However, we don't usually eat prior to weigh-in, but we did this week. We also wore blue jeans for the first time at weigh-in; we've always worn light clothing before. We should recover somewhat by next Tuesday.

Have a great week all.

Mary and Superbob, your gains shouldn't count. I vote for an absolution of pounds gained for both of you.

Hmmmmm, I thought that I smelled smoke around here.....Banned substance?.....REF?

If it were that kind of smoke,I think Cooker would have gained
weight instead of lost, what with all the side-effects and all;):)

Went shopping with a friend of mine yesterday.this person doesn't walk
down the sidewalk-they jog! had a heck of a time keeping up,but just know
that I burned lots of calories:) I need to plan lots of things with this person.
She only weighs 120. I didn't weigh myself after last week's gain...I'm shy.
So I will give myself another week;)
Oh,and by sept. 2009 , I want to be 145 --thats a 25 lbs loss for me,but
that is my limit...I look really thin at 145....ahhh thats the stuff dreams are
made of.
Wishing everyone well-Dina

Dina, 145 is my goal as well. I am finally almost back to where I was when I took a breather before my knee surgery. I don't think I should have done that. At WW yesterday I weighed 177 which means I have further to go than you do. I would like to be under 175 for Christmas. I could set a loftier goal but it could be unrealistic knowing the obstacle course that this season presents to those trying to eat lean and healthy.
 
Well, it seems like we have had mixed results this week. I managed to lose a little but it was a difficult week. Those of you who were at our Pigeon Forge reunion may remember that my husband had gone to visit his brother and his wife during that same time. Thanksgiving morning this same sister-in-law suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm while on a cruise with their son and grandchildren. She was sent to Grand Cayman and then airlifted to Florida where she died. My husband came home last night from San Antonio after spending the week with his brother. She was 65 and had no idea she had any health problems at all. It just seemed so unreal. The kids and grandkids continued on the cruise until it finished in Galveston.
