I will also remember to try on my 'school' clothes when I take my bath. I need to find a new way to identify those clothes. My orthopedic surgeon took away my school days. No more concrete floors. Ah, well, more time to quilt - just less money to buy fabric. Such is life.

Many times when the scales don't move, I discover that I've lost inches. I measure everywhere I can wrap a measuring tape around and then monthly or so I'll record my measurements so I can see some sort of progress.

Xylie, With that much water, did you take in enough salt? Being salt deprived will make me weak and sicky feeling. I thought you had decided 150 was a reasonable goal. If you have heavier bones than I do, that's a good goal for our height. BTW, you want to build muscle. It burns more calories and protects bones from injury, etc. I'd love to turn the fat in my body to muscle. I was one of those with a 21 inch waistline. Made finding clothes very interesting as I was normal sized above and below the waist. I went into the hospital to have my third child with a 26 inch waist. Funny the things we remember.
I went back to my TV exercise program yesterday. I love it, though I wish it each section were longer. It's a very quick 30 minutes. The Senior center offers Tai Chi and chair yoga, but that means getting up in the morning and getting myself over there. I have a script for physical therapy, but my copay is $30 a session, so that's a problem. I need to pay my house insurance before I worry about that.
My weight is so stuck. I keep forgetting to try on my smallest pants to see how many inches I have to go. BTW, I think a 12-14 is a very reasonable size - a normal 12 or 14 from Penney's, not a fancy designer one that would be an 18 or 20 in the real world. I don't what that translates into men's jeans sizes. They don't work for me. If you're an apple, I'm a pear. I do think these rocker shoes have slimmed my backside somewhat. That's not why I wear them. My foot couldn't bend when the nerve damage was bad and these babies don't bend.
Looks like I've rambled enough for now. Y'all have a good day. Like Rita's mom said, "Eat small and healthy."

How old were when you weighed 140? I looked good at 114, at 123, at 132 and 138, but I'm not that age any more. Put some table salt in a glass of water and take it with a potassium pill. Lots less expensive than the electrolyte drinks and no sugar or chemicals.
On a break from still working outside. It's a perfect day, 72 and breezy, but I'm sweating like a ??? I am so out of shape. It's ridiculous to be cleaning gardens in the middle of June, but our weather is so behind this year. Hope I'm sweating off a few ounces.

HEY!.....I haven't gotten any notices of new posts and when I checked there were 3 pages!
Oh Lulu you are a doll! MJ I bet she brings you alot of joy.
Well I got the lawn mower for my hubby. It is in the back of the truck and I am hopin my daughters bf gets off on time. There is 30 between when he gets here and my DH gets home.I need him to unload it and hide it for me. I am a little nervous he won't get here in time. If he doesn't then I quess my hubby gets his present early. lol
I found a new snack the other day. I bought the Kashi Go Lean Crunch the other day because they were out of the granola she likes and if you close your eyes it could almost pass for cracker jacks or carmel corn! It is a little bit of a stretch but it has 200 calories in 1 cup,9grams of protien,8 grams of fiber. It does have 4.5 grams of fat though but no saturated or trans fat. and has omega 3 and flax in it. It is a little too crunchy at times but almost as good as the frosted shredded wheats are for a snack.

That is true, I can lose 10 pounds so fast it's not funny. If I've been especalily bad at eating/exercise for awhile. Then I get content that I'm losing so fast and decide I deserve a treat for being so good, then another because that didn't cause me to gain any weight.... then slowly I'm back to where I started.
The slow but steady weight loss is what stays off for me.
Hope you didn't get a touch of food poisoning. So much of that is going around.

here's something kinda interesting. i entered all the food i ate yesterday on fitness pal and it told me i don't eat enough and it will take 5 weeks to lose 10 lbs. like i said in an earlier post...my problem isn't eating too much, it's eating not enough, and then when i do eat it's usually a bad choice of food. i am officially in starvation mode. it has bothered my husband in the past because i would not eat for 3 or 4 days, living on coffee. can we all say control freak?!! i can't control things in my life, but i can control what i eat. these are very bad, even dangerous habits that i've developed and need to get out of. who was it said change is hard? you said it, sista!!!

Wow, Nanci, that's scary. I have gone three weeks without food, but it was a controlled juice fast. To eat nothing at all is so unhealthy on so many fronts, but I think you probably know that. What are you doing to change? My saving grace is that I like food too much. My problem comes with not eating regular meals, but I eat enough in a 24 hour period.
What are you going to eat tomorrow? And when? I am going to have oatmeal for breakfast, order a chef salad when at the quilt guild for lunch and then for dinner? - dinner is never a problem for me. It's the first two. Eating a decent size amount of food regularly is scary when you want to lose weight. The two don't sound like they don't go together.
I hope you find a way to help yourself. Judy
