151.8
-
I just have to keep some sort of momentum to get past this 161.8 thing. We will be heading out of town again tomorrow and it makes it so difficult to watch my weight when I am trying to eat where DH wants to.
-
I lost all my will power to diet.
Meece...Is it possible if you can change my starting date for today.
Mark the date, 168.2 and put a
sign next to it.
I have to do something
Thanks

This morning, when I stepped on the scale I seriously laughed-out-loud.
It read: 138.4 on a Friday.
My all time low, repeated..... and on a Friday!!!
I'm thrilled to be there (again) and would be happy if that's what the scale would say on Jan the 3rd....... so I need to get down a squeech more so that's a possibility.
Once I get to Jan I will have both time & opportunity on my side. FL home that has a workout center and a gazillion classes at no extra cost available a block away.
Meece, I see that you've got that same been there/done that feeling.
Gals. I can now claim 15 pounds since keeping track last Jan. I owe it all to my fellow lab buddies. Accountability.
Ever onward.

Faithie how wonderful!! I wish I could say that, but I did get down to 155 lbs. Woo Hoo!! I am not staying bloated and having the plumbing problems like I did back in the summer. But I have been on this ice cream kick lately and have been eating a bowl sporadicaly. Got to quit that!!! I am still wearing my 10's and some 12's. but I would like to get into an 8 sooo bad!!! Need motivating, Salad bag and tuna here I come this weekend when I go to the grocery store.
Nicole so nice to see your pearly whites as well. You were very missed this summer. Glad you found time to take a break.

Thanks Meece
-
You are welcome.
-
I really should not have put the smiley there. But you said to. I think you jsut need a clean slate.
-
Stress has the plumbing working too well today. I think I have lost at least another pound or two.
-
Hi Renee! Nice to see you still on this site! I had an incredible weekend but with that comes food and beverage.We had my parents, sis and some close friends over yesterday, went wine tasting, came back to the house and played cards through the wee hours of the night! They stayed through this morning and now relaxing with hubby on the couch.
I have to say, I feel guilty splurging but then I had the most amazing time with family and friends.. so, I am happy to take my good memory even if it means I didn't lose a pound over the weekend.
Also, I soooooooooooo believe tamoxifen plays a huge part in all of this!
Have a good rest of your weekend ladies!
Nicole
-
Nicole I agree about the tamoxifen! Glad you had a good weekend.
Sheila, Valjean are you there???
Renee

Ill be off Femara on March 2011.
Im very curious if my middle will shrink or I can loose little weight easier.
-
Nicole..you sound happy thats what it counts.
In Hawaii I ate so much Macademia nuts i mean a lot and I didnt gain any weight because i was active in the trails and happy also.
-
yea Sheila can't wait to do a happy dance for you when you come off your AI!!
-
Im sure Insurance will be happy too. $442.00 for 30 day supply.
(no generic yet)
Than I can answer questions about my own experience.
I was going to bed now i cant sleep. I wanted to finish my big chocolate bar before midnight.
I think it made me all hyper. But has calcium in it I didnt know that until tonight. hahaha
I always look at Mondays as a clean start......
-
Choclate can also have caffeine in it Shelia.
-
I look at Monday as a clean start, too!!
Here's to a great week of choices.
I, for one, believe that if we are 'happy' about our choices, as Nicole experienced then we truly need to have no regrets. When we're celebrating and with family & friends then we are delighted in all things: comraderie, yummies et. al.
Then it's a matter of balance and making some additional good choices that mean "less" of things going into da mouth and movin' da behind more.

You got that right, Faithie!
I tried to eat well this weekend, but am trying to find something I am craving, which causes me to graze. I will focus on the good things I chose this weekend. A salad instead of a burger. Special K and an apple at breakfast. A junior sized burger for dinner. Child sized soft drink.

I came across this ticker I put on one of my posts last year, and luckily, my ticker was still ticking, so I brought it over here so I could watch it. I will have to update it to the magic 8 years soon! But I am putting it in my header to see if it works,
-
Love the ticker Meece. Congratulations on almost seven years!
-
I found the lost wagon. Now its time to climb on it again.
167 At least I didnt gain and even lost a pound.
-
Yea Sheila for losing a lb!! I am in still at 155 lbs. Hmm! Oh well better that than gaining...
Meece I love the ticker too. Congrats on almost 7 yrs!!! I can't wait till I get there.
I am feeling some anxiety about my upcoming mammo next Tues. Really didn't think I would be so anxious but I am. I mean I've had a mammo on the bad ta ta and all was well a few months ago, but this is the first one in over a year on the other one. Will the anxiety ever pass?!!!
Renee
-
NO.
I think it will always remain in my mind somewhere since I know what it is like to have someone come into the room and say what we all dread. Until then, you just feel like you are invincible and that you are just doing the mammo thing because it's what you are supposed to do.
-
Congrats Meece! Lucky seven. You go girl!
-
Thank you, E. I hope that it can give others encouragement that they can make it, too.
-
LUCKY 7
LUCKY 7LUCKY 7
Whoohoooo.
We're in Kentucky at our home-away-from-home. No scale for tomorrow, but as of this morning I had maintained my posted low. Whoooohooooo!
2.5 days on the road, yeah right, will face a new reality on Sun morning upon return home........
Balance. It's all about balance.

I got a seriously awesome email inquiry today. Everybody keep your fingers crossed.
-
Stomach is still upset, but not moving anything through. I am really sick of all of this. I went to my Cardiologist today, and now I am back on six months for my visits because my BP has gon so high. 140/92. I amd usually 114 over 60 at the max.
I can only hope for a good reading on the scal in the morning.
-
Meece Whats happening. Are you on meds for it?
Could it be that your blood pressure got higher because all the anxiety you went through with Matt?
-
Most likely that is the reason.
He put me back on my heart meds every day. I had weaned myself to only when I needed them. I am just bummed that I let stuff get to me like this.
-
Meece....When our children are involved, everything stops.
I'm sure your BP will be normal levels before you know it.
Me on the other hand when I posted my weight yesterday I honestly thought it was Friday.
Hugs to my friend
