FIVE MONTHS...ALREADY???

i cannot believe that 5 months ago i was in the hospital recovering. that is almost 1/2 a year! wow, time is flying by and before you know it we will be past out honeymoon period...and then we will have to REALLY WORK! well, not that it hasn't been work so far, but i know my appetite is going to return soon. i still hardly ever get hungry. i am now 30 lbs away from goal...YEAH, this morning i was back to 150...so that 149 was short-lived! BUT i hope to be back there in the next couple days. i must admit, i thought i was much stronger with the halloween candy. don't get me wrong, i haven't been REAL bad, but i did have 2 bites of a heath bar last night! and i was never a real candy person to begin with. i have to stay away from the candy altogether!!! i hope all the junebugs are doing well. i know myself i need to start exercising more. this tummy needs toning! hugs~mary jo

MaryJo, I know I am almost 5 months myself and sometimes it seems like yesterday and others it seems like a while. I did not do that bad either but I did eat 1 oz bag of chips a day these last 2 days so they are leaving the house TONIGHT. I wish you all the best with getting to your goal. ~hugs~ Debra P 285/196/125??

i hear ya deb, some of these foods just call your name, don't they? i have been so busy with the kids sports and stuff, that a lot of times i didn't really have to fight the temptation cuz i wasn't home. but now football and cheerleading are over and we only have basketball 2 nights a week. i notice already that being home more often gives me more time to look in the fridge and the cupboards! i am going to stay strong though! yes, get them chips OUTTA there! no worries though, you are doing soooooo good! hugssss

Mary Jo, It does seem like yesterday! I have not been tempted with Halloween junk.....it is just me and my DH and the leftovers go to him. I have been without the sweet stuff for over a year now and don't eat chips either....I am determined to get down to goal before June 1st! So far I am down 155 pounds. I am 4 pounds away from losing half of me. Only 35 pounds until I reach my goal! I have not had any hunger at all and dread when it does come back. I guess we will just have to keep on top of it! Good luck to all of us Junies..... Sue

WOW sue! you are doing so great, be proud!!! i know what you mean, i also dread the hunger coming back! but we have come so far, we can get thru this too! hugssssssssss

You are doing great Mary Jo. what an inspiration. I am losing quite a bit more slowly but I am still thrilled with the results. I am snacking a bit more lately though which is not good. On the other hand I'm exercising a lot. Keep it up! Diane

thank you diane! i am sure you are doing great! it is wonderful that you are getting in a lot of exercise...i need to do the same. i know it is important, i need to get my butt in gear! hugsssss

YEPPERS MARY jo it is hard to believe we are 5 months out now! I did fine with the halloween candy not any temptations i guess im scared to death to experience a DUMP! TONIGHT was my sons 3rd birthday and i passed with no problem on the choclate cake!SO im happy with that. I hope to be down a new pound in morning from all my hard efforts the last few days. Well hope all is well! LISA

oh lisa, i am soooo glad you are doing well! i hope the whooshie fairy comes tonight and takes a lb or 2 away for ya! that is great that you stayed away from the candy and even the cake! what a good girl! your efforts are sure to pay off! hugsssss
