Weekly Weigh In week of 6/25

Hello Everyone! Well, it's officially SUMMERTIME are you excited or what ???? (I am) Just think ... last year we were probably dreading the hot summer weather and this year were screaming "bring it on!" I have to say (for me) it feel's great to wear shorts and feel comfortable. I can go swimming in a pool - no matter who will see me in my bathing suit. Life has certainly changed ... our worlds' have expanded ... no more living life on the 'side lines' -- We are "in it" - what a blessing!!! Here are my stats: Starting weight 250.5 Last week = 164.5 This week = 160.4 Loss this week = 4 Total loss = 90 Current BMI = 25.9 So how did you do? **** Side Note **** I will be on vacation next week so the LOVELY Wanda will be pinch hitting for me (thanks Wanda!!!) and she will post the weekly weight in for the week of 7/2/07 - I will post the following week when I return. I cannot wait to see how you all did. OK this will be 7 days with out a scale .... I am a nervous wreck! (I may pack it and bring it along ) "The tool works ... if you work it" (I heard that at a support group last week - I liked it!) Keep your eye on the prize reach for the stars ... YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! Hugs, Britt

Four pounds for you Britt! That is awesome. You rock! I don't think I ever lost 4 pounds in a week! But I did lose this week--finally! Here's my stats: Starting weight 234 Last week = 55.5 This week = 152.5 Loss this week = 3 Total loss = 81.5 Current BMI = 26.2 (We are no longer BMI twins!) Have fun on your vacation.

Hey Wanda!!! I know ...Do you believe it - 4 pounds ! I am very HAPPY about that for sure! I re-read Paula Pecks book Exodus from obesity - the chapter on 6 month and beyond - when hunger returns - It was great. I am really focusing on getting back to basics and eatting - breakfast - lunch and dinner - NO snacking!!!! I have also been turning it up a knotch at the gym and really working hard while I'm there! It seems to have helped!! Which is FUEL to keep it going when the scale rewards me like that!!!!
