Jeaniem !! That is just awesome ! I know you are so proud - a month is completely amazing...... just read back to when you were struggling so hard. You did it !!

Do something fun today for yourself

[jeaniem]

Thanks everyone!

Something else I am working on is finding my I can live with it weight. I would rather if need be settle at a higher weight if it results in no binge behavior.

Hubby prefers me at this weight, but is supportive of whatever I do, admittedly I do care what he thinks.

We are about the same stats aren't we? I am 50 and will probably be happy to get to 130lbs, even though I was 120 forever when I was younger.

Keep posting and inspire me ok

[shelby'snana]

We sure are ! I started heavier than you though. I had always lived between 115-125 range. Always. But I took a nurse manager job and was STRESSED and for some reason when I am around people that are heavier, I don't mind having extra weight on me. When I am around thin people I want to be thinner.......isn't that odd ???
Anyway, I was around all middle aged women and we had drinks sometimes after work, DH was working nights, so I was home alone at night and I ballooned up ! Yikes !!

I'm 48 - 2 sons - I grandbaby "shelby"

You inspire me too !! Looking forward to our journey

Shorts falling off is a WooHoo in my book !!

[shelby'snana]

Well, Jeanie, I got started eating supper tonight ~~ chicken Lazone and zoodles and cauliflower with the gravy over the vegs. Good right?

Had a few grapes later and a few nuts. Good right ?

Then had an Atkins bar. Good right?
Now I had 5 jalapeno poppers ~~~ JUST BECAUSE I WANTED THEM. ;/ ;/ BOOHOO !

Everything was LC , but still way too much ! Should have had a 2nd plate of supper and skipped the snacks.

Going to bed in a bit. Hope the scale is nice to me tomorrow !

Hope you are having a good night. !

[jeaniem]

I was down a smidge today. I am so happy to be back in the 130's.

Laura
You eat a nice variety of food. I need to branch out and start enjoying more things. I tend to eat meat, an occasional egg and protein shakes. I am trying to take advantage of some of the local farmers markets lately for fresh veggies. I like the Atkins bars, but have been known to eat several at once, even though I know I will have some wicked gas pains!

[shelby'snana]

Jeaniem, how's it going ??

Still fighting the fight! How about you!

[shelby'snana]

Same here ! Have had a couple of days where I ate everything in sight, tummy problems followed of course. But, back on the wagon, want to get this weight off and stop stalling myself ;/

Hope you have been doing good !

[jeaniem]

My goal- To be at the same weight (130) I was in 2010, by Jan 1 2013

[tobelowcarber]

Nice Pic, Jeanie. YOU CAN DO THAT!!! YOU HAVE DONE IT BEFORE!!!

[jeaniem]

Thanks Marika! At the time I was shooting for losing another 10, this time I'll be totally content at 130!

[jeaniem]

Day 4 of the leptin reset, feeling good and getting used to eating the BAB.

[tobelowcarber]

WOW it is already day 4 for you Jeanie. You are doing great!!!!!!

[jeaniem]

Thanks Marika. I am feeling very optimistic about reaching my goal now. I am already planning to really up the protein breakfast on all the days coming up that will involve holiday parties and dinners.

[tobelowcarber]

That's a good idea. I feel like the BAB is our insurance

[jeaniem]

Okay, now is where I have to dig deep and persevere, the losses are slow and I have to have faith that in time weight loss will happen, being binge free for 11 days is a positive thing!! Enjoy the freedom that comes with not obsessing about food and always dealing with the consequences of the latest carb binge.

[jeaniem]

14 days Binge Free!

Starting to take off a few pounds now that I have cut back on the salty breakfast sausage and am keeping cals in the 1200-1400 calorie level. Thanksgiving is the next challenge-looking for foods that I will enjoy while family has the traditional meal.

[tobelowcarber]

Great job, Jeanie

[jeaniem]

Not looking like I'll make my goal by 1-1-13, but I will keep working on it.

[shelby'snana]

What is your goal ??

About 130-ish as in my pic. Ignore the death face color, camera sucked.

[shelby'snana]

Don't give up ! You can do this !

[jeaniem]

Thanks Laura. I know I can do it, so can you!!

[shelby'snana]

thanks.......and we will
