DAY 43

Hello, boys and girls

Today was a YOGA DAY for me.......

I am going to see a "color consultant" this morning as part of me new image Since I've gotten rid of SOOOOOoooooo many clothes and will be buying new stuff when I reach my goal, I thought it would be a good idea to meet with someone who can help me determine what colors look best on me. FUN! I feel like a TEENAGER!!!!!!!!!!

Have a GREAT day, one and all..........

hugs,

Lois

P.S. Thanks, Ravencat! I love those little cheers of encouragement! Keep up the good work you're doin' girlfriend!!!!!!!

DAY 44

Hello, Everyone!!!!!!!

Today I took a wonderful walk in our beautiful autumn nieghborhood!

Well..... yesterday proved to be a GREAT adventure. The woman who did my colors (ala "Color Me Beautiful") was just a terrific person. When I told her about my 55+ pound weight loss so far, she was TRUELY impressed. She said I did not look like a person who had recently lost so much weight, and that I must have done it in a HEALTHY way or else I woudn't look so good

Of course, I told her about MF

We had a great time with the "color draping" and make-up. I am, for all of you out there who have a clue about this stuff, a "deep autumn

I found out that I look great in all shades of brown (the deeper the better), greens, purples, and (of all things) RED!!!!!! She asked me if I ever wore red, because I SHOULD! I laughed and said FAT LADIES NEVER WEAR RED because we don't want to be noticed!!!!!! BUT....that's all different for me now!

SOOOooooo.....on my way to work later that afternoon, I stopped at a store and bought a sweater in my VERY best shade of RED I might just earn the nickname RW around this place

Today I'm headin' out to buy new make-up.

Watch out world, here I come

Have a GREAT day, everyone!!!!!!!!!

hugs,

Lois

Sounds like so much FUN. What is Color Me Beautiful? Is it something that is readily available or is it specific to your area?

[hawaiiwhatnot]

Lois,

Sounds like you're an Autumn like me! Yes, red is our color!!! I always get compliments when I wear it. I've had my colors done too by a color consultant, and it was amazing to me to see the swatches against my skin, and how some colors look just terrible on me.

You keep up the great work Lois. You're such a great cheerleader!

DAY 45

Hello, Friends!

Today I enjoyed my yoga before beginning a VERY busy day Good thing I got it in first....'cause I've been on the move ever since.

......"Color Me Beautiful" was VERY popular about 15 years ago, and I think they have cosultants all over the country. These days, they sell a lot of make-up, but you don't have to buy their products...in fact, the woman who did my colors didn't even make a "sales pitch". She just handed me one of their catalogues and said I could call her if I was interested.

The whole thing is based on the idea that certain people look great in certain colors, and if we know what those colors are, we'll make fewer mistakes when we shop, and all our clothes will work together...basically saving us money and aggravation.

Since I'm practically starting over with my wardrobe, I figured it would be a good time to get some help

They also have a book (I borrowed a copy from the public library!) and a website.

It's fun. The consultant "drapes" you in colored fabric before a large mirror, in natural light. As Camille said, it's truely amazing how AWEFUL some colors look, and how great you look in others.

Anyway, that's the gist of it....and it was fun and definitely worthwhile for me personally.

Hope you all had a great day!

hugs,

Lois

DAY 46

WOW! Day 50 of my 100 Day Challenge is right around the corner.....And it is now 4 months since I first started MF on JUNE 2nd. So far 55 pounds are GONE FOR GOOD, and I feel like my life has begun all over again!!!!!

Today was a WALKING day for me. My husband and I enjoyed the crisp autumn air and the increadibly blue sky!!!

I'm feelin' great....and GRATEFUL for MF and all of you

hugs,

Lois

[DutchChoc]

Yeah, Lois, 55 pounds lighter and more vibrant is wonderful. Yes, you are making great strides in many ways. Doing what you're doing is going to get you where you can always enjoy being.

I do have air in bike tires now - whew, wasn't that fun putting bike in my car, as usual!! I still have not been for a ride, and seems my gears might be messed up to the point of going on another bike/car ride to the shop. Can't switch to any normal "low" gears, it seemed on my 10-second ride out of the car.

Keep on rolling!!

[hawaiiwhatnot]

Grateful for you too Lois!

Always refreshing to me to read your posts.

Cheers,
Camille

DAY 47

Good morning,

Today was a YOGA day for me I just had my MF morning shake....vanilla....in a mug of hot green and ginger tea. Yummy!!!!!

DAY 50 is right around the corner, and I feel WONDERFUL! I will weigh-in on day 51 and post a "PART 3" thread. I am hoping that by the time I hit DAY 100, I'll be within "spittin' distance" of my goal. Isn't this EXCITING???? So many of us will be sailing into the New Year SO MUCH LIGHTER AND HEALTHIER than ever before!!!!

DC and Camille....thanks for your warm and ever-supportive words! You guys are both doin' SO great Keep up the AWESOME work!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!!!

DAY 48

Thanks so much for your kind words, Susanna

Today was a WALKING DAY for me. How I am enjoying the gorgeous fall weather we're having!

I was SO busy the rest of the day....preparing for my classes, running errands, and then teaching two classes at the seminary...one this afternoon and one this evening.

My motto is: HAVE MEDIFAST, WILL TRAVEL!!!!! My little "travel bag" is SUCH a life saver! I like to keep a spoon in it for "eating" my frozen RTDs. YUMMY

Today I wore a black ABOVE THE KNEE jumper with an olive green shirt and olive green tights, and black suede clogs....and let me tell ya, friends, I was cuter than cheeseburgers!!!!!

I'll post new pisc after I reach day 50.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY, my friends! The road to Thinville is paved with such WONDERFUL surprises!!!!!!!

hugs,

Lois
