I think I'll try this journal thing...a place to write what is really going on for me. I get that this could be really valuable on days when my motivation is not at its peak. So....here goes nothing.... :puter:

My husband actually told me I looked "sexy" today! WOW!! STOP THE PRESSES!!! I even feel sexy today! That's amazing given that I have lost 20 and still have 73 pounds to my goal weight. I think I have decided that "sexy" is as much a state of mind for me as a state of body.

I'm taking care of myself, honoring this body God gave me, and taking my weight down to a healthy number. I can't believe how quickly it is coming off and how well I feel. I bought a new dress yesterday a size smaller! WOW!!!!

Onward......weigh day is tomorrow! :bib:

welll....I was born one day, on a very dark night....Oh...sorry....

I am 43 and I've been on MF full plan for four weeks now and lost 20 lbs. I came down from an all-time high of about 295 to 269 on my own about two years ago and then decided I needed a little more accountability to get to my goal weight of 175. I'm currently at 249-ish (weighing in tomorrow so stay tuned).

This plan has to be the easiest thing I have ever done. I'm kind of holding my breath to see if this weightloss continues so easily. :woohoo:

Hi

Postby dede4wd » May 10th, 2007, 7:20 pm

You're doing GREAT so far! Woo hoo on the 20lbs!

I think I have decided that "sexy" is as much a state of mind for me as a state of body.


Amen, sister!

Ooops, sorry I left one out! I know I left out a bunch of others too. I was just trying to be cute and now I have been offensive. I ask your forgiveness, all I have slighted.

Oops....

Postby Slimmin' » May 16th, 2007, 1:42 pm

My weigh-in yesterday didn't yield any results at all....a big fat...yes FAT zero! :dooh: I haven't slipped, cheated, negotiated a bite, NUTTIN! And the scales...NUTTIN!!!!

I get that mother nature can be cruel to us gals once a month with that water weight thing but darn it is tough on the psyche after moving along so well and so easily.

A martini and big plate of nachos was a tempting idea all afternoon! I really got a good idea of how strong my own conversation really is! BUT with MF shake firmly in hand, I tried on clothes from that box (you know the one that we all have full of clothes we just couldn't part with that we would wear "someday"). Most of them I could get into, some I could zip, and I actually pulled out a beautiful summer skirt and sent it to the cleaners for a freshen up so I could wear it this weekend! Victory in spite of myself!

Lesson learned - there is more evidence than the scales that proves my committment to taking care of myself!

Onward.... :water:

Hey, Slimmin ~ this is a very important lesson to have learned, especially as early as you've experienced it.
This will come in very handy and should help you get through some difficult spots without too much frustration.
The scale is only one tool at our disposal, and we all know how much of a tool it can be! So, just keep on keeping on.
You've had an awesome loss so far...20 lbs in four weeks is great! So, put on your pretty skirt, and work it, girlie!

Yeah i learned that lesson too that the scale is NOT the be'ALL know'ALL thing we sometimes think it is. Isn't it wonderful to revisit old clothes again and they actually FIT!!!

Ya doing GOOD girl! :-P
