Good morning all and Happy Mother's Day to all those moms among us! This week has been pretty slow for me and the scale went up down a bit. I had a good week last week so I can't complain really. I lost a grand total of 1 lb this week. I was SO hoping to get to 20lb club this week but, next week will do! I have to get out of the habit of getting on the scale everyday. ugh! I did so well in the first few weeks and now it's back to my little obsession.

I hope everyone has a great loss this week! And for all who didn't, next Sunday is only 7 days away! The next thing you know it will be here and more fat will have disappeared!

Good luck!

Congrats ljm! The 20 club is right around the corner!! If you can hold out on the scales, you will certainly be rewarded with a shiny new membership!
As for me, I was down one more lb this morning from the last time I checked the scale a few days ago, putting me at a 2.5 lb loss for the week!
I know that's a totally acceptable, normal loss, but I had Kinda' hoped for a little bit more since it was a week of rededication, so to speak. I figured I was probably up kind of high to begin with, so it would be like a first week, witha n amazing drop in flabbage. Nah. Didnt happen, but I'm headed inthe right direction (down) anyway. Good luck to all of you who havent checked in yet!
AND Happy mother's day!

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day

I am down 2 lbs from last Sun. I officially hit the 30 lb club this week (thanks for all the nice words friends!) and am only 5.5 from goal! I can't WAIT!!!! Only 12 days until I leave for Jamaica! I went shopping last night and bought size 8 skirts -small and med. tops and a 2 piece tankini swimsuit that actually looks good! And all of a sudden this week I am getting LOTS of comments on how "skinny" I am. Now I don't think I am "skinny" but it sure is getting better!

Good luck to all today and have a great day!

Congrats Donna, Coco, & ljm!!!

I am down .6 pounds this week for a total loss of 27.6. Not disappointed due to the cracker situation.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's.

Lynne~~slow weeks are frustrating and for some can cause them to stumble. Don't let it worry you. Keep your eye on the goal. You are doing marvelous.

Coco~~I know you were wishing for more, but you know this works, so hang in there. I think you did great!

Angelia~~remember every .6# lost adds up to great successes.

D~~Jamaica is calling your skinny tushy. Congrats on the 2# loss.

I lost 2# this week, but you guys already knew that, because I already posted it. I am happy to be in the 20#, but already have my sights on the 30# club. I guess I am just never satisfied. hehe

Congratulations to everyone ahead of time as I have a splendid day with my family planned.

Happy Mother's Day~~without them where would we be?

[LilMsTexas]

Good morning.......HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.......and CONGRATULATIONS all you LOSERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSS!! WOOHOOOOO!!

Lynne....way to go......down that is......and you'll be at 20+ by next week I bet

Coco......2.5 and a new beginning......GLORIOUS DAY!

Donna Doodle.......SIZE 8......WHOOOPPPIIIIEEEEEE....that's my DREAM SIZE so send tons of pictures so I can imagine myself That's just awesome and I'm sooooooo proud for you. How's your tan coming? Don't want you to get burned in Jamaica since I KNOW you will be spending TONS of time OUTSIDE and in your BATHING SUIT!! Wowzer...when's the last time you imagined having so much fun OUTSIDE and in a BATHING SUIT!!! That is again my dream

Angelia.......oh how I remember the .6lb week. Bummer in your mind...but still good on the bod Next week is BOUND to be another good one so stay focused.

Dear Donica.......2lbs down AND in the 20lb club!! FANNNNNNTABULOUS!! Like you......once I hit 20 I just wanted 30 That's the wonder of it all. Never satisfied THANKFULLY and it's alllllllll together possible to do it ALL!!

As for me........I'm down 1 glorious lb that I saw on Monday so it's been a long week of nothing new on the scales. BUT.......I have some VERY EXCITING news to report:

Yesterday was weight and measure day for me at Curves. Since we tell each other to think about INCHES as well as LBS. and that it's not just ALL about the scales.......I have some proof of that! From the beginning to now I have lost:

-4.25 inches in my bust
-4.00 inches in my waste
-3.50 inches in my Abs
-7.00 inches in my hips!
-3.50 inches in my thighs (that's total for both)
-1.50 inches in my arms (that's total for both)
-5.10% total Body Fat!!

That is a GRAND TOTAL of -23.75 inches since March 7th!! Now how freaking amazing is that???? So ladies if you are not measuring you SHOULD BE!! I mean WOW!! I am amazed and so excited. This news came on a good week since the SCALES only show 1lb loss......I know I am a BIG WINNER in inches!!

Sorry my post is so long.........but this was something I just had to share. I hope it is inspirational to you all. Get out those measuring tapes and find a trusted friend to measure you

Have a great week everybody! I'm pushing towards the next goal 1 shake at a time!!

Love and hugs,
Christi

Happy Mothers' Day to all you wonderful moms out there! Hopefully your kids made you inedible macaroni necklaces instead of chocolate presents!

Lynne - it kind of took me a long time to get to the 20 lb club, too. don't worry, just HANG IN THERE and you will make it!!! Then zip zip zip you'll just keep on losing and wonder where it's all gone to!!!

Coco - 2.5 lbs is great!!!

Donna - you are doing so amazing!!! We can't wait to celebrate with you when you reach goal!

Angelia - what an awesome attitude. Keep it up!

Donica - a big congrats on the 20 lb club!

Kassi - are you telling us that you just hit the 50 lb club?!?!?

Christi - congrats on you hitting the 20 lb mark! I know you've been waiting on that! those measurements are amazing!

My week: Down 3 lbs from last week, putting me below 180 (ummmm, since when do I weigh less than 200?!?! Geez, I'm having a hard time mentally keeping up with this)!! 2.6 lbs away from the 60 lb club, which I will be totally mad if I don't get next week! Like Donica & Christi, I just can't wait for the next one!

Plus, I am over halfway through with the weight loss, which is amazing! This past Wednesday was my 16th week on program. Yay for me!

Happy shakin!

Hey Bk.......isn't that awesome to have lost MORE than you have to LOSE now!! Outstanding! And oh my gosh I'll be keeping my magic wand handy so you get to that 60lb club by next week! Oh how I would love to just lose 3 lbs next week......I will be soooooooo happy. Dang magic wand doesn't work on ME of course So we'll be working on it together. I figured out I have to drink 6 bottles of 16.9oz to reach my water goal each day. Good grief that's alot of water I know some drink more......but my goal this week is to make it to the 100oz a day mark. Just 7 more days to go until the exciting Sunday again. I feel like it's Super Bowl weekend every week lol

[sister]

It's so exciting to see everyone's losing this week!

Christi ~ soooo awesome! I too measure once a month. To date I've lost 37 inches all over - when I look at my youngest it's hard to imagine I've almost lost as much "around" as she is tall!

I lost 2.5 this week. Finally the scales are moving again. The last three weeks have been pretty tough to not get upset over. I was beginning to wonder when it would kick in again.
I'm just thrilled to finally be at the 50 pound mark - I'm half way there!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!

[LilMsTexas]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh half way there OUTSTANDING!! Oh my gosh that's what I look at on my ticker all the time. When it finally says I have less to lose than I have lost it will be sooooooooo glorious!!

And those measurements ROCK!! I wish we could reach through the screen and measure each other so we would have trusted friends to do it for us. I soooooo recommend everyone be measuring!! That really thrilled me this week.

Congratulations again........just OUTSTANDING my Texas friend

I love Sundays! Congratulations to all! What a fabulous roll call it is!

I am down another .7 of a pound....it is going slow these past two weeks, but I just keep trucking along!!! I keep thinking of the story of the tortoise and the hare!!!

It has been a lovely Mother's Day weekend! I am so blessed to have 3 wonderful sons and one grandson and one granddaughter. We had a lovely dinner yesterday and I stayed faithful to my lean and green!
Have a gorgeous day today, all you moms....enjoy your children!!!

Good morning and Happy Mother's day to all the mommies on the board!

Wow, everyone is just shrinking away. Can your kids still find you to hug you for Mother's Day?? Congrats to everyone........wow Shrink, 100 pound club lurking around the corner, that is FANTAAAAAASSSSSTIC!!!

Everyone is doing so well, I think the warm spring weather is encouraging us to keep on the straight and narrow so we'll be more straight and narrow in those swimsuits this season. I won't make goal by the summer, but I know I'm sure looking forward to swimsuit shopping more than I have been in many years.

As for me, it's been a bit slower this week, but it's TOM time, so I'm actually quite happy with a 2 pound loss. I had a couple of lean & greens that probably weren't as lean as they should have been........croutons with my chicken ceasar salad, that kind of thing. But if I can have something I really miss once in a great while and still lose (and not get out of ketosis), I'm a happy camper. All in all, the great success of the medifast plan continues and I am just thrilled

Enjoy those shrinking bods everyone...........I know I am!

Have a great week. Two more weeks of school for me and then I am going to be catching up on everyone.

Happy shakin everyone

Wow! There is so much good stuff on this thread -- it's such a great way to start a week. And I know I have some congrats to others to make, because I missed posting on a few goal club announcements (it's been a lousy week, so I haven't been here as much as usual, or felt like posting as much).

First, Sherri -- CONGRATULATIONS! 50 pounds, and halfway there -- you and I certainly are walking side by side on this journey. Isn't this fun? And maybe a little scary?

Donna, you are going to have such a blast in Jamaica! We MUST have a picture of you in that tankini! Thirty pounds - wow. Congratulations!

Donica, welcome to the 20 pound club. Enjoy it while you can, because I'm sure you won't be there long!

coco -- you're back on, and that's what counts. 2.5 gone is nothing to sneeze at. Good for you for having the determination to get back on program and make this work for you.

Kassilou -- 50 pounds!!! Congratulations -- doesn't that feel just so good? You can and you are doing this, and it won't be long before Unca will be putting that 100 pound star under your name.

Christi, look at all those inches! No wait . . . you can't, they aren't there anymore. Isn't that great? Are you starting to move old clothes out of your closet yet?

BK -- I saw on your ticker a day or too ago that you were below 180. (I see on the shopping thread that you've been at it again, too. ) And also now past the halfway point. I don't know about you, but being past the halfway point makes me really believe that I'll make it the rest of the way -- cause I've already lost more weight than I need to. Congrats -- you cream pie, you.

Mary, I've sure been watching your progress ever since I came to this board. You are such an inspiration for other people! In fact, I was looking at your halfway pictures again just last night. Can't wait to see them at goal, and I'm sure next weekend we will be having a huge 100 POUND party!

Vicki -- ONEderland is definitely in sight this month! Won't that be something? I think we need to have a Southern California party this summer, to celebrate. We can do a lean and green BBQ!

Lynne, Angelia, Joyce -- the scale went DOWN instead of up, even if not as DOWN as we'd like, I know. It's always my experience that the small loss weeks are followed by big loss weeks, so hang in there this week and I bet we'll see even less of you next Sunday.

As for me, I'm thrilled today. I'm down 4 pounds, to 212, which is the lowest I've weighed as an adult -- and the last time I was here was just before I got pregnant with the child who is now 16 and a half years old. That's still 15 more than I weighed when I graduated from high school, but THAT was 30 years ago. I am so pleased!

I had a difficult week. Did two "lean and green" meals on Tuesday, because it was my birthday and I was taken out to lunch by a friend of mine, and then had dinner with my family. And my 16 year old is acting, well, 16 years old, and has decided that I'm the evilest thing since Lex Luther. I worry about him....

Anyway, Happy Mother's Day to the moms, and good luck in this next week!
