Weigh in day for me. After gaining a pound or two over the last couple of weeks instead of loosing...... I've lost those two and one more!!!!!! I'm down to only wanting to loose 3 maybe 5 more pounds by summer! Slow by sure.
I've added more walking and movement this week, and held to my diet. Tomorrow we are eating out to celebrate my husband's birthday (which was yesterday), but plan to be careful there too, and count that as my 'free' meal of the week.
You all are doing GREAT!

I had a 1.2 lb gain this week. But after my retreat and all of the wonderful meals the Inn Keeper fed us and the two tables full of "bring a snack to share". Really? Can you say that to a group of 25 quilters and expect anything different? And I mean those tables were kept loaded the entire 3 days. I was rather careful, good thing or my gain could have been more significant. I also missed 4 days of my normal working out, other than the loading and unloading of my car. So I got right back into the swing of things on Tusesday morning, and I am doing just fine. I was very encouraged this morning when I measured my waist and found that since I started measuring in December, I think it was, I have lost 7 inches from my waist. Go Me!!!
Nothing to feel bad about? Right?

Believe me, I wanted to try some of everything on those tables, but I resisted. Honestly, I ate somethings twice. But that is just the way life is. You have to reward yourself sometimes. I have decided that I am not going to deprive myself of everything that I like to eat. So moderation is the key. And only 1 pound to work off is so much better than the 5 lbs. I used to gain when I was at an event with so many great food to try. Then of course the Inn Keeper fed us very well. One night we had two pasta dishes to choose from, we all tried both, and I am not sorry that I did. They were great. But I was careful about how much I put on my plate knowing that I would eat every last bite.

Can I join in? Once upon a time, I was skinny. I tried to gain and it wouldn't work. Until I got married. And then when I had a child in my 40's it was all over. I'm not obese, but I am far from happy with my body right now. I'd love to lose about 30 lbs or so.
I have a friend that's been wanting to lose too - she keeps making "challenges" for us - so I go a month and lose some, and she loses nothing, so "we" don't win our goal. And out of discouragement I start eating again. I joined the rewards thread - I apparently need the competition!

naturalmama: Welcome to our little group. Soon Lneal will be posting the total pounds lost by our group in February. We have encouraged and supported each other to some great losses during the past two months. There are a lot of good ideas and motivating people here. We welcome any ideas you may have to share too.
