Hello everyone. Just finished eating 1/2 baked chicken breast and salad for lunch. It was delicious. I started to weigh again this morning but completely forgot about it until after I had put something in my mouth. Oh well, I'll weigh tomorrow morning.
Rita's Mom, kudos to you for losing another lb. YEAH!!!! Im happy for you. I know it felt good to see another lb be gone when you really wasn't expecting it.
Gotchacovered, welcome to the board and to this thread. If you will read all the posts, you will find lots of encouragement, motivation, inspiration, cheering and hoorays for each other. It is a wonderful thread as it's so nice to have others for support, who are going through the same thing.
Lynne, Kudos to you for sticking with that 17 day diet and your exercising. I know it has to be so helpful that your hubby is doing this along with you. It sure is helpful to me that my hubby is eating the same foods as me. He's still doing the cooking/meals, as I still can't stand on my knee for very long at all. But eating the same foods is helpful to me. That way he isn't eating something "bad or unhealthy" in front of me, making it harder for me to stick to a healthy program. Bless his heart. I don't think he even has 15 extra lbs to lose but he's being a good sport in helping me out.
Jeanne, A BIG kudos to you, for packing your own food for today. You go girl!!!! I'm proud of you and for you.
deedee75, Don' beat yourself up. We all have days where we slip or take a step or 2 backwards. Pick yourself up, dust off your britches, and get back on this bandwagon with us. We can't eat perfectly all the time. We will off days. You had one, and you don't need to beat yourself up. Just get yourself refocused and get back on whatever program/plan you are doing. Extra hugs for you today.
To everyone else, keep doing good. Don't get discouraged. When you feel the scales aren't moving fast enough, remember, sometimes you are losing inches when the scales aren't moving. I'm so proud of all of us. WE CAN AND WILL DO THIS!!! WE WILL LOSE THE LBS AND GET HEALTHIER. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bless you all! Big hugs, Sandy
