Just waiting for that Ah Ha moment to happen where my "want" and "get my but into gear and do it" meet up! Wonder why I am like this?!

You are human, just like the rest of us. All have been there, done that......

I have a horse-training book that keeps going back to the same statement. "At this moment, you are right where you are meant to be"

I agree with Karen. I seem to go in spurts with having the motivation to lose. I know I will get to my goal eventually. I just keep reminding myself it's not a race to see how fast I can get there. I've done that in the past and have only set myself up for failure by not meeting my "deadlines"

You can do it Lotus

Thanks guys!

Karen can you read a book on training a horse to get into racing shape fast!

Beach mom..I want to be the hare but I sadly am the tortoise


Going to make some soup today. I love fall weather!!!

I weighed 197.2 today. Glad to see the number going back down. I need to get below my beginning wt on the 9th (192.2). I could just kick myself! Oh well, it is what it is!

Hello all - I just found lowcarbfriends and the message boards. I've been eating low carb on/off since '03 when I was 190 and lost 45lbs on it. I'm now at 152 with having taken off 8lbs since 8/26 and am heading for my goal weight of 130. I'm excited to have found an active, supportive group and look forward to getting to know you all. :-)

I try to only weigh once a week and have been weighing on Mondays because I joined an 8 week challenge over on another site last week. Otherwise, I like weighing on Fridays because it allows me to enjoy my Friday and Saturday with a little more leniency -- which probably isn't really the right frame of mind, but hey -- a gal's got to enjoy life too, right?

You weigh in whenever you feel like!

Welcome to LCF's!

stinks huh to get above the niumber you were NEVER going to go above again ever ever ever!

LOL I won't even change my stats!

[tay65]

My lowest was 170 lbs then stress ate through my dd's pregnancy! My granddaughter is 15 mos old and I'm still trying to lose the weight.
I ate pizza rolls and chips last night so I know I'm up today from the sodium, if nothing else! Back on track today. Sheesh!

I know what you guys mean, I've been gaining and losing the same few pounds for a few months now. I'm finally getting in gear, but it took awhile. It's going to be so hard now because we have so many birthdays coming up!

Great job!!

[beachmom3]

We celebrated my son's 5th birthday last night, and all my good intentions to avoid the cake went out the window Those cupcakes were good though Needless to say, I'm ready for a new day!

[sheri81428]

Today's a new day Beach..."Success is always a work in progress."

[tay65]

weighed 197.2 two days ago and today weigh 199.0 Yikes!
Semi fasting today so maybe I'll lose some of that. Trying to stay as low as possible in calories. Keeping my fingers crossed this works.

good for you!!
hope I can get some results soon!

[lotus33]

Thanks Karen!

I am still only where I started but its good to see movement in the right direction!!!!

I broke protocol and weighed today also. Down another 2!

Ahhh....if only it would continue!!!

You know come to think of it....I started a medicine for my TOM irregularity. Maybe I should check if this is just a side effect Wouldn't that be a bummer!!!

So are my girls!!! They love when their uncle comes over because he only visit about 4 times a year and they all have a mario weekend!

[beachmom3]

Aw, I bet they love that! Fun!

His birthday party with all his little friends is in a few weeks, so of course everything has to be Mario. I'm excited though, it's the first "real" birthday party we've done for him. Should be fun!

188.0 again this morning, but think (know) there is some salt going on. So I actually feel like I made progress this week. The body is shifting, that I can tell.

And my average for the week is 188, which means I am keeping control of the eating. Less bouncing UP...........more holding steady

How about everyone else?

[beachmom3]

Great job Karen!

I'm up 2 pounds this week I think it's the combo of tom and not eating so well Saturday night (I know I didn't eat enough calories to put on 2 pounds). I'm going to make sure I drink more water this week and hopefully things will be better next week.

[lotus33]

karen!

I am down another 2! totally changing my stats for that LOL

Trying to be low-carb-ish and portion control.

Not doing any extra working out or anything my bottom of my heal has been hurting for a couple of months now. I thought maybe I bruised or strained it but its still hurting and sometimes pretty uncomfortable! Going to see the Dr. for it tomorrow. Then on Thurs I get my stitches out so hoping when all my broken-ness is better to add some walking in!

I am sure mainly tom. And water weight is so hard to keep away. Here's to a good week next week for you.

I second that!!!

Back on raging TOM again today! Have i told you guys what a pain this has been?! In the last 4 months I have only not been on it for 2 one week periods of time! I am really really starting to get sick of this! Which was why I wasn't caring too much about not losing and gaining this summer but jeesh! Meds are not really working, they need to just to a D&C and clean my pipes out....or take the dang pipes out, I don't need them anymore!


I want to buy a new scale. My one at home broke, thought maybe it was just a battery but nope its broke. Then I bought one and left it at work and its doing the same thing. I am going to get an old style, no more digital!
