Monday weigh-in...

Hi everyone! 

Everybody must be very busy at this time of year... I am doing ok with maintenance, even if I didn't go to the gym last week... too busy with work and Christmas shopping! I plan to go today. I am experimenting different food, and try to not freak about the extra calories or when I gain a pound on the scale... I thought I could lose another 5 pounds or so, but it seems that my body is adapting and my shape is still changing even if my weight is stable. I went shopping and bought some  tops size small and pants size 6!!! That's when I realized I don't want to lose anymore... never thought I would be able to buy a size 6 someday... That's a shock!!! So all of you who are beginning or in the journey, believe in yourself, everything is possible!

My weight is staying between 147 and 149 and that is exactly what I want! So far so good...

Waiting for your news... have a nice week  my friends!

((hugs))
Diane

Hi Diane,  so great .... size 6 ... I still can't imagine that I will be there one day.

On my part, thing are good,  I spent last week in Winnipeg for work. It is a little more difficult to properly follow your diet when you have supper at the restaurant every night.. However, I had a gym at the hotel and was able to do some treadmill every morning. I am down 4.5 lbs

Also had a good week-end, both my kids are part of the Scouts, we did the Food drive with our church. They were all prood of themself.  As suggested by Doris earlier, I have donated the same weight in food as the weight that I have lost, so I bought for 90 lbs of food to give to the food bank and was so proud of it.

Have a great week my friends.

Nathalie

Hi Nathalie,
Congrats on another great week even though you had to have restaurant food for a full week. Good on you for trying to get some gym in to help with those extra few calories from the resto. Here's to another great week.

Derek

Great Nathalie, you did it despite the trip and restaurants... That's a thing we have to learn, to maintain our good habits even if the situations are different. Congrat on the 4,5 lbs!

Hi!

I hope everyone had a good week! I had a pretty good one. I'm getting better at dealing with regular food and reminding to have snacks. Even if I lose weight more slowly  than I used to (1.8lbs last week), I had the pleasure to punch extra holes in my leather belts and cut'em a bit lengthwise...My pants were running down on me these last weeks!

Diane: Congrats on size 6 clothes and mastering maintenance!

Nathalie: Losing 4.5lbs in "adverse conditions" is a great achievement!

Now, time to turn off the puter and shovel some of that snow!

Have a great week!

Salut Joel! 
Congrats on losing a bit more weight this week and adding a couple of notches to your belt. I remember those days and I'm looking forward to them. We're expecting 35-45cm of snow on Sunday so my shovel is going to come in handy! 

Derek

You lost 1,8 lbs, that's not so slow... Do you want to lose more pounds? You looked ok when we saw each other at the supper...You have to remind yourself of snacks?? I am always hungry, eating more snacks than regular meals... Maybe a women problem...!!!
Ask Santa for new pants!!!

Hey everyone,

This was not such a great week for me. Someone bought a box of chocolates and I should have given it away !!! Instead I slowly ate them all :(  They have always been my favorite thing about Christmas time.
I have lots of work to do on the will power thing.

I lost one pound but it's to be expected, so I'm down to 250.0

Congrats Diane on size 6, that's fantastic !
Nathalie way to go getting in some exercise while on business trip, amazing loss while away from home.
Joel sounds like it's time to buy a new belt !!

Have a great week and be careful in all this snow.

Cindy

Hi Cindy!

Don't be to harsh on yourself!...We're all in this journey to learn things about ourselves, Positive thinking is key!

(About belts: Buying a new one is nice but chopping an old one is much more liberating ;-)...)

Hi Cindy,
It wasn't a good week for me either so I know how you feel. I also have a lot to do on my will power but I guess it will get a little easier once the surgery is done. At least you see a negative on the scale. My take is as long as you hop back on the wagon you are doing yourself a favor. Here's to a better week for both of us!
