Let's do this!!!

I am really sorry you are having to go through this. We will be here to help you come out stronger on the other side. Good to see you csgoofygirl. Hope your health is improving. I just hate those *tests*. So often they don't help at all. We are a bit off but only have a few days until we head home. Then it will be stricter food and more systematic exercise. My daughter has a 3-story house so we are getting quite a bit without really trying. And I try to get us to walk the dog up a few hills. LadyStarlight, thanks for the laughs. Those trips to Disneyland without the junk food being a major part of it get easier. I swear. We hardly think about Park food anymore. Honest) Last time, after years without one, we bought one of those chocolate covered marshmallow thingys. The first bite was good but after that, kind of *why did we do that?* At least Rod and I split everything so even if we slip it is only half as bad. Tandelothien, I was surprised to see you here cuz I thought you were so thin at the meets. But I know how easy it is to pack on a few. We are all in this together whether is is 10 lbs or 100.

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl ^^Congrats on the great loss!^^ Yes, I did walk! Thanks for asking! I have two little chihuahuas and they love to walk. I should walk them every day. They are a little chubby like their mama. My weight was better than I expected at WW this morning. I'm 11 lbs from my goal. What I usually do at this point, is say, Oh this is okay. And then proceed to gain 10 or 15 lbs. Not this time. Even if it takes all year, I want to lose these last stinking 11 lbs.!
Originally Posted By Tandelothien lol iamsally I thought the same thing about you It has taken me a year of hard work to look so "slim". If you saw the pictures of me from our 2007 trip, oh boy! I just want to loose my podgy belly now so I don't have to check the mirror to see if any rolls are showing when I get dressed

About had a heart attack from the sticker shock though!

Congratulations to everyone who stuck to their guns and here's hoping the rest of us find the strength to stay on the wagon, haha.
Originally Posted By csgoofygirl Tinkeroon and Tandelothien- The fact that you both jumped right back on the wagon and are making healthy choices is great! If you are anything like me, you've probably blown the diet before and then just gave up. But you didn't! Hooray for you both! Eating out is a part of life, we just need to learn how to work that into our plans. We CAN do it!

It's sooo worth it! :-D I don't weigh myself , EVER. SOI Can't post how much I lose when Ilose it. I only go by how my clothes fit and wich one's I can fit into and wich one's are still TOO SMALL or TOO TIGHT! LOL. So far, I'm still in my current jeans. But I know in a week or two I'll see some improvement in them loosening.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I forgot to post that, I know that I posted my weight on here not too long ago. I based my weight on the fact that , that's how much I used to weigh when I fit into the same jeans I wear now.(6 years ago) Knowing what I was back then and knwoing that I can wear the same jeans from back then I based it on that. I'm in a size 16 and hope to back to wearing a size 10/12. It doesn't matter tome how much I weight ,what matter's tome is how many inches I lose. They go hand in hand though. Just speaking for myself,I'd rather see results in the way my clothes fit than see a number ona scale. to other's they see the small results right away by weighing themselves and that keep them going. Ithink that is wonderful. I just doit a different way is all. Keep p the good hard work everyone! We are all helping one another in here.

Originally Posted By csgoofygirl "cleanse" scares me too. I just like something that is tasty, so I can pretend it is dessert. I buy flavored coffee beans for the same reason. I can pretend I'm eating something yummy.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight <<has any one ever tried acai berry?>> Yup , Me. It's not drastic and it's all natural. you can get the same results from eating more fiber. It's about equal. The best way to "cleanse" or "detox" can be done by eating certain combination's of healthy food's or you can do the same by doing a liquid detox/cleanse. Liquid detox/cleanse' are a bit drastic, and you pretty much just lose water weight the first week. It's also hard on the body/system to just do a liquid diet and once you start eating regular food again,you'll just gain back what you lost. You can eat more when you chose healthy food's than you can when you chose the unhealthy food.
