Thanks, Elke . And DeDe, I am happy that something I have posted could be of help to you, that makes me feel good.

Well, I am going to keep track of my daily weigh-ins here. At least until I decide not to anymore . I weighed an even 179 this morning, which I am happy about. I cracked my way into the 170's yesterday with 179.5, and I shall hope to keep on going. That means only 1.5# until I reach my goal of the 60# club... I wouldn't mind surpassing it by Sunday, either... but first things first .

7-- s'mores granola bar
10 -- blueberry oatmeal
1 -- Chicken and wildrice soup w/ coffee
4 -- choco shake
7 -- L&G
9 -- Choco pudding

Yay!

I'm saving up a happy dance for you joining the 60# club this week!

DeDe

[bikipatra]

Good luck on that scale this week in reaching your milestone!

[Karli]

Thanks, ladies !

I actually had a great weigh in this morning and it seems I have already hit my 60# milestone, losing 1.5# overnight and weighing in at 177.5 (see... SleepMagic ), however, I do not want to change anything until Sunday on official weigh in day for me.

So for now, I continue to plug along. I feel inclined to aim for another goal now, and see if I can make my former goal weight of 175 by Sunday. If that happened, it would be a pretty big loss for me over the week, but who knows ?

7 -- mint choco bar (sooooooo... good)
10 -- blueberry oatmeal
1 -- L&G (yummy !!)

Yay Karli!

Welcome to the 60# club! I'm so excited for you! WTG! YAY! I'm very very happy!

I am so very excited! I really do feel better after reading the achievements of others on this board. It is even better when it is someone as sweet and supportive as you....having said that would you mind supplying me with a full body shot of yourself? Or maybe just from the waist up...

[dede4wd]

Karli,
I believe you are about to be leopardized!

DeDe

I need a pic first! I had to go a whole page back to find her in the STUDIO board, but her most recent shots are headshots showing off her hair. I need a bit more to work with...or I could always just use Pamela Anderson's body and put Karli's cute little head on it....

Well, I have a shot but I am not too sure Unca would allow it , there is not *a lot* to leopardize . And actually, it's not a full body. I don't have any of those. I only have a webcam to work with right now... but let me think, okay ? I really want to be leopardy

[bikipatra]

Well, just send it to me, a picture prive. You know I will clothe you in the finest of gear-and you can leave your hat on!

[Karli]

Morning weigh in : 177.5 (same as yesterday).

I am not surprised about it. And, I am prepared for it to plateau if that's what it will do. My mantra right now has everything to do with the comparison with what it feels like to really be on plan again, vs having spent those months on and off and gaining and then losing the same few pounds over and over and never really getting anywhere. Constantly battling myself... yadda yadda.

I would rather plateau ON plan than off plan. No question about it, no comparison !

So :

6:30 -- choco mint bar
10 -- L&G (eggs and veggies)
1 -- RTD
4 -- RTD
6 -- Chicken and wildrice soup
9 -- RTD

No doubt Karli! What a great outlook you have. That is what creates success. You will reach your goal!

[Karli]

Thanks, Kanani !

Well, I feel myself having some bit of a struggle, currently. And, you know, it's really ridiculous !! I heard this mental tape in my head this morning when I was getting ready to eat my first supp of the day, and the jist of it was :

"you've had success, now ruin your diet"

What the ? Suddenly, I am aware that I have heard this voice many times in the past... both before MF and since I started. But, I have given in to it a lot, in the past.

It's as though the pound and a half loss two nights ago scared me or something... I wasn't expecting it and I wasn't ready. But, I am not going to let that drive me into doing something I know I don't really want to do !

I do not plan to give in to these sabotaging voices... but, I think it's good to be as aware as possible of all the things that may need to be confronted as I continue on. It's like I suddenly feel as though I am doing something wrong... but, I am not going to give into this stuff ! I know it's just a bunch of *BS*. I will stay on program and finish what I have intended to finish... it's just difficult not to be a bit bewildered by that stuff.

In the end, though, all that really matters (to me) is that I stay on right now and until I see it all the way through.

Okay... just needed to talk things out.

[dede4wd]

I know what you mean Karli...now that I've equated "the voice" to the trapped four-year old in my little brain, I kind of think of it's opinion like that. I stop and think, "because I want it" doesn't work for the four-year old at Toys R US most times, why should I let it work when I'm at the grocery store or standing in front of the table at a holiday party? It's really helped me to think of the voice like that.

I just love your "if I plateau, I plateau, at least I'm on program" attitude!

I can so relate to those voices. Last night, after the raisin bran for my THIRD breakfast, I though "It's all ruined-just order a pizza!" It only took me a few seconds to realize I was insane. We must be ever watchful...
