Topic: RE: Stopped losing!!!!!!
Hi Karen, Just HANG IN THERE !! We are all going thru the same thing !! My scale doesn't move too rapidly either.. All I know is these plateaus are for the birds !! As long as I am doing all the right things, I can't do anymore than that.. Our bodies are just re-adjusting..
Topic: RE: Set your Turkey Day mini-goal here and now!!!
What a great idea to get going on Turkey Day.. This is such a great motivator for the holidays !! I would like to lose 30 more lbs. but I'm not sure if that is realistic.. I am losing so slooooooooow these days !! Maybe 15-20 lbs. is a better spot for me.. Then I will have lost 85-90 lbs. OMG !! That means I could hit the Century mark for Xmas... What a wonderful Christmas present..
I was 292/now 219... since June 1st, 2004...

Topic: Set your Turkey Day mini-goal here and now!!!
Hi all --
I liked the earlier post about setting a goal for Thanksgiving . . . made me think about setting one for myself too!
So here it is . . . and I hope it's realistic enough to shoot for. I would like to lose 40 more pounds by Turkey Day.
What's YOUR Turkey Day mini-goal?

Thank you all for answering my question. I will try the swimming, maybe at the "Y" until I can talk hubbie into a pool. HaHa..Well, we can always dream, can't we???? Since I wrote yesterday the scale finally moved and I am two pounds lighter. So that's a start again...
I will just have to work harder.And keep getting my water....Thanks again and if I can help with anything let me know.

hello karen, Have youtied any swimming exercise classes. for me it helped becuase i burned of fmore calories but it didnt bother my knee. I hated to get into the bathing suit but once in the water it wasnt so bad and i like seeing the scale move down two days later. jamie

Hi Karen,
Maybe try finding a pool that has some classes in your area. Its much easier on your back and knees to work out in the water. But really sounds like you are doing awsome!
