Even though I had continued to lose inches while my weight stayed mostly the same, I needed to get outta the 60's. I am amazed that even though I still am not exercising that pounds and inches are coming off. . . .

Deb,

WOOHOOOO!!! I am

for you!! You're 159 and you're doing fine!!

Keep up the good work!!! We're sooooo proud of you!

Lisa,

Congrats on another pound down!!! You and Deb are really on a roll - keep on keeping on and we're right here with you!!

Kissa · 12-09-2007, 02:47 PM

WTG Lisa, you too!

scrappychik · 12-10-2007, 09:38 AM

Thank you, Thank you!! It helps me to come here and post my losses-it keeps me motivated and accountable. Ya'll are the best

I am really pleased with my progress. I have to shop for a new outfit (nothin I have fits) for a party DH and I are attending this Sat. and for the first time in a VERY long time Im looking forward to it instead of absolutely dreading it

Homestretch~ So glad to hear you are maintaining KUTGW

Kissa · 12-10-2007, 10:57 AM

New clothes...hurray!

Deb79fl · 12-12-2007, 11:26 AM

Alright all you maintainers.... come on back, we miss ya!

I know it's the holidays, but I can't go 2 days without see how everyone is doing!!

Lisa, what's the news? Did you find a really great outfit? I bet you were smiling like a Chesire cat when you tried on the new smalller sizes.

Kissa, Homestretch, Delynmonet, Glamour Puss and everyone else.... how is life treating you? Where are our new members? We have to keep the thread going, we've all made too much progress to let it fall by the side.

Life is fine here. Sunny and warm in Florida, 80's again today. Doesn't seem like winter is almost here. We'll get a little cold snap into the 60's over the weekend. I'm spoiled, like using the fireplace for a day or two and then like being able to go outside with shorts again the next week. Going to a family gathering this weekend and will be nice to see people that we only get to visit once or twice a year. I'm anxious to see the reactions of family that hasn't seen me since I started to lose weight. MY SIL especially. She fights with her weight and is always looking for a quick fix. Says it takes to much effort to cook and diet. She's probably 250 and in her early 60's. Hopefully, I'll be able to motivate her to make some changes. My weight as of today is 158. Down 44 pounds! Keep losing inches, too (which helps me when the scale doesn't move as fast as I'd like). Getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow and will pick up another new pair of jeans for the reunion. Can't wait to see what size fits!!

Well, I need to go have some lunch and run some errands. Have a great day everyone!

It went GREAT!! I took two sizes into the fitting room and I was so happy the smaller size 10/medium fit

I had to keep checking the tags to be sure-I was convinced i would need the larger size. I got a black pencil skirt and a cute dark purple knit top. Also decided to throw in a pair of black kitten heel slingbacks. Honestly I just felt pretty and it's been too long since that happened. Love the NS victories

delynmonet · 12-12-2007, 11:47 AM

WOOHOO!!!

Alright Deb!!! Down another pound -way to go!!

I looked on the board this morning and did not see anything happening and had decided to wait a few more hours to see what was going on!!! That's great news!

I for myself am anxious to hear from others too - yes, you are soooo right - let's keep this board fiery hot! Although I have reached my goal, I check in periodically to cheer others on!! My goal is constantly to maintain - which I am doing with the shakes.

It's been hectic for me that I just recorded my TM exercising posts after three days - but don't worry - I will be lurking around. Okay, I look forward to seeing other's posts . . . and am sure I will.

Lisa,

Congrats to you too!!! New clothes that are a few sizes smaller definitely works!! Enjoy them and I know that you wear them WELL!!! Keep up the good work!

Deb79fl · 12-12-2007, 01:33 PM

WTG Lisa! Those are my favorite colors BTW! I used to wear them all the time, until I got big, then just wanted to "blend" into the environment and not have anyone notice me. Can hardly wait until spring when we'll be thinner still. Will drive my hubby nuts cause I like bright colors and he's stuck in neutral. For him dressing up is new jeans and a new blue or gray t-shirt!!

Del... always appreciate your "high fives" and WTG! Guess it won't be long before we'll all be in maintenace and have to start another thread! How sweet! Never would have thought 6 months ago I would be thinking about maintenance. I'm so happy I've stuck this out and found this site. It was really a life saver!

scrappychik · 12-12-2007, 02:27 PM

Thanks again for the

!!! And Deb you lost another pound!!!!

You are doing great!! 135 finally seems within our grasp instead of a faraway dream, KWIM? KUTGW, my friend

Kissa · 12-12-2007, 02:59 PM

I've got a cold and I am feeling grumpy. Sorry!

You are entitled to be grumpy when you're feeling poorly. Get better soon, sweetie!

Kissa · 12-12-2007, 03:05 PM

Thanks.

Deb79fl · 12-12-2007, 04:36 PM

Get better soon! You could have some low carb chicken soup.. Jewish penicillin as we always called it. Skip the noodles or matzo balls.

homestretch · 12-13-2007, 04:26 AM

Way to go Deb on reaching 158!

Deb79fl · 12-13-2007, 04:56 AM

Thanks Homestretch! Love the new Avatar. You look younger every time I see a new pic!

Getting ready for work, will post more later!

Cindy, hope you're starting to feel better. Take care of yourself!

Lisa, you're going to have to change your screen name.... how about Slim f/k/a Chubby Girl?

Later all!

Kissa · 12-13-2007, 07:27 AM

Not really hungry so the shakes are just great. I have cooked a big pan of soup for tonight, starting from scratch with the bones. They are always the best.

Deb79fl · 12-17-2007, 04:59 AM

Happy Monday a.m. Everyone!

Just as short note before I'm off to work. I'm celebrating a small whoosh today... Last Monday 159.2, today 156.2. Down 3 pounds in one week! I'm so happy! My only change has been discontinuing my CLA/GLA combo and I had been taking Fuco-Thin for about six weeks. I don't know if stopping the supplements has been the cause, but I'll stay off them for a few weeks to shake things up some more.

Will be back later today to see how everyone is doing.

You go, Deb!! Congrats and keep up the good work! You'll see 150 very soon! We're proud of you!

Kissa · 12-18-2007, 02:12 AM

Fantastic news, Debs! What a triumph, especially at this time of the year. x

Deb79fl · 12-19-2007, 12:25 PM

155 Can't believe it!! 47 pounds down. With any luck, I'll hit the 50 pound mark before New Years... that would be MARVELOUS! Now wearing a 10/12 instead of a womens 20.

I was going to change my plan somewhat when I reached this, but, I think I'll keep on doing what is working for me. I've been having low carb bread a few days a week, but otherwise have not added any additional carbs back in. Not sure why I'm dropping the weight (this makes over 5 pounds this month), but I will not complain.

I wanted to be in the 150's by the end of the year and am so happy it has happened. I'm now 20 pounds short of my goal, which I want to reach by May 2008 (my anniversary date). Looks like it will not be a problem!

I'm still in awe that I've gotten so close... it's been 13 years since I've been in the 150's.

Kissa · 12-20-2007, 12:25 PM

Oh Debs, how lovely for you. You are just doing a brilliant job. The shakes just help to keep it simple.

Deb79fl · 12-20-2007, 03:53 PM

Thank you both Kissa and Dely!

I'm hoping that "Santa" will bring me to the 50 pound mark.

Last weekend we had our family get together. Had a nice time, I stayed on plan, too. Most of the family noticed, my MIL immediately (and she doesn't see very well some days). I have a "bad taste" though for my SIL. She did not say one word about my weight loss. My hubby says it's because she's jealous. Yeah, probably.... but, would it have killed her to acknowledge or say "you look nice". She barely talked to me and didn't even make eye contact with me for most of the day. Hubby says I need to let it go, as he can't believe it has made me so upset. I told him I've worked hard to stay on track and it really hurt my feelings. My solution is to kill her with kindness next time I see her (and I fully expect to be at or below goal when that happens)

evily OK.. I'm being mean, but, I will flaunt my new look. My 47th birthday will be in February and I fully expect to look like I did at 30, if it kills me!
