Hi Melissa, I am super late today- got school starting on Thursday so I didnt get on here today. Here goes: HW: 241 SW: 233.6 LW: 142 CW: 140 I have been really diligent about my workouts. Trying for 4 days a week at least . I made it 3 days last week and so far, 2 days this week. I plan on going tomorrow and again on friday. Today was the start of my cycle, so I was SHOCKED when I hit my all time low of 140. No water retention today, we will see about tomorrow or Thursday. See ya later. Angela

Hi Angela! Congrats on 140, wow you are so close to the 130's that is amazing! I hope to get to 140 like you so I can be at goal. Tonight's halloween party will not get me any closer to that I am afraid. I indulged a bit on a preboxed gingersnap cookie with some homeade pumpkin dip, few peanuts with rainsins and then one hershey kiss. honestly didn't feel to bad about my decision b/c at dinner I avoided all the comfort foods I made and ate my chicken chili instead. Well those few items sent my blood sugar up then way down to 52! So even though I didn't dump my sugar crashed so either way I just cannot eat these types of foods which I why I stick to whole grains with lower glycemic index and effect on my blood sugar is much better.. so needless to say, I have over did on cals by way too much today but tomorrow is a new day right? I am so proud of you for working out like you are, exercise is my favorite past time now, who woulda thought? I have been so busy getting ready for today's halloween party and having the carpet lying people here I haven't been to the gym this week and it is KILLING ME! I am basically busy through Tuesday with work and other committments and then things slow down for me so I can't wait to get back into gear next week. I feel awful about my day today and makes me upset with myself and especially b/c my body is telling me how unhappy it is with me. argh.. Hope you are feeling better and able to keep up energy wise at work.. is that going ok for you? Keep up the good work girlie, you are doing so excellent. What is your goal again?? *hugs*

Melissa-- The point is you are still in control! You are doing great! YOU weigh 144lbs that is truely amazing....that is my goal weight.......Hang in there mamma- you know that this too will pass just like it did at 7 months and you will be well on your way to GOAL! I am doing well but not currently writing anything down --dont really know why......but i still am coming here for support when i can --- HUGS dawn

Hey everyone! I missed you guys! We went to St. Louis to visit my sister in law and family and I really missed reading and posting. I will have to find a computer next time! I FINALLY got below 200 last week - 198.5! Yippee! Surgery: 345 Last Week: 200-201 Current: 198.5 Wow .... that is minus 146.5 pounds (wait that is about the size of lil'miss Melissa!!!!!!! ha ha ha) Do you guys believe that we are so close to 1 year??? I remember reading all those posts of people who were so close to their goal weight and thinking that I just could not ever imagine being there... and here we are. It really feels good. Makes me realize that those Weigh****cher slogans were correct.... Nothing Tastes as GOOD as Thin Feels!!! Keep up the good work, Rebecca

Hi Rebecca! Welcome to ONEDERLAND!!! That is awesome! I am so excited for you! That is so fun to be there! Congratulations! Thanks for saying "Little Melissa" haha.. don't know about that one but I will take it! lol.. No I cannot believe it has been a year almost, it is a happy time for me to reflect back that is for sure. I am already starting to journal online about all the positive changes I have experience from this past year and I am so glad many of those memories include you guys on the December board. You guys are so special to me and I am so happy we share our most proudest moments down to our most guilty.. it keeps it real.. I love it here and I love all of you! Keep up the good work, you are right really.. there isn't anything that tastes now where near as good as feeling and looking good! AMEN to that! That is the right mentality to have, even though it can be hard at times. We need to remind ourselves of this for sure! I am pretty sure when PMS monster attacks me though, she don't care if she is thin or not, she just wants to eat.. wish she would never visit me but I guess she will be coming around monthly whether I want her to or not.. grrr.. Thanks for your kind words and keep inspiring.. that is what it is all about! *hugs*

Thanks Dawn, that was nice of you. Actually I feel really bad now.. tonight at my own Halloween party I had one gingersnap cookie (boxed one) with some homeade pumpkin dip and then 1 hershey's kiss.. why I will never know. I did skip the homeade lasagna and the chicken noodle stuff and had my own chicken chili. So overall I did good, but guess what reward I got for eating that sugar? No not a dump but a hypoglycemic reaction.. blood sugar plummeted to 52. See.. I can't go there.. even if I want to. One way or another it bites me in the ass. Honestly I am glad though, I deserved it. Even if I was half way proud of my night. It was a fun time though.. I have been working my patooie off for 3 days straight for it and now its over.. kinda sad. And usually I get around 75 trick or treaters, this year.. 2.. yes you heard me 2.. what?!! wow.. Hope you had a good Halloween and I am glad to see that you are doing well, hang in there... thanks for supporting me Dawn, means more than you know. *hugs*
