Gettin' Serious..........

Okay kids...............
I'm on a mission!!!
I'm gonna lose some weight before our Christmas Vacation!
We're headed on a Cruise and then some time on the beach in Daytona.
I'm done playin' around... I'm back seriously on the Slim Fast Diet! I have my Shakes... I started walking ( 2 mile walks every other day) I've been online finding some very yummy looking recipes for dinner that will be within my Calorie Count.... and I've gotten back on the Water wagon!
Today is DAY #1 I'm giving myself till December 14th to get weight off!!!
I've had my shakes for breakfast and lunch... I've had 4 glasses of water so far today... need to drink 4 more AT LEAST! I didn't have my morning snack... forgot.. but I have an apple ready for my afternoon one. Then I'll have some pistachios for my evening snack. I'm planning grilled chicken with mixed veggies for dinner..... maybe some rice too.
As I try different recipes... I'll share them here with you guys!


Okay kids...
off to tend to laundry and get a coffee refill........(no creamer)
Have a GREAT day!

God Bless

Okay, I weighed myself yesterday and I was at 254.5.  I haven't been doing anything really different, so I'm going to try doing something different each day to see what works for me.  I just don't know what yet.  Yesterday I played in the rain with the kids for a little while, but I doubt that burned off too many calories.  Monday it was doing house repair and if the amount of sweat I produced was any indication (which I'm sure it isn't, as it was probably 400% humidity up until last night, at least that's what it felt like) that should have done some good!  LOL  I weighed myself today and the scale said 253.5.  So far, it's not anywhere near the 5 pounds a week I read with the "Biggest Loser" contestants, but I suppose that's because I'm not doing whatever they do and I don't have a personal trainer and a camera on my big butt all the time to hold me accountable!

So, until next time I check in, that's where I'm at...

I hope everyone else is doing well... Joyce, how are things going with you?  Tammy, I know what you've been up to - up to your neck in summer activities!!  :)

TTFN!!!

report

Okay, I promised to weigh in on Wednesday, and I did - but I just didn't post.  I weighed 257 on Wednesday, then yesterday I weighed 257.5... but today I weigh 254.5 so I like that one better!!  LOL  It has been sooooo hot and muggy, and I know I'm not drinking enough water... as well as it's so hot I don't even want to move at all... ugh!  I am going to see about drinking a lot of water today, and eating foods low in sodium... maybe that will help some of this "water weight" disappear!  :)

So, until next time...

Checking in

Hello!  I'm still here... my weight loss is going in reverse lately, which is why I've been very lazy about posting...

I weighed myself today and I'm now up to 258.5.  Ugh.  That's really about all I have to say about that!

Okay - there's my report.  I'll do my best to remember to post on Wednesday, hopefully I'll be lower than I was today!

Update on weight loss

Hi, sorry I haven't gotten back to all of you, but my health has taken its ups and downs, I have a real bad gout infection in my index finger on the left hand, they will be doing surgery on Wed. but on the side of good news the weight this morning is 236!!!!!!! I'm starting to feel the weight loss, clothes fix so much better, the only thing is with this finger in so much pain, no knitting or crocheting, ( I tried a couple of times, but it didn't work) THE KEY TO WEIGHT LOSS IS DRINK YOUR WATER. Mel how are you doing? and Tam what about you? I check the blog every day but no news! take care of yourselves and keep in touch.

with love Joycie

weigh in

I weighed myself today - I am at 251 as of this morning... yesterday I was at 250.5, but I suppose I really should count the 251, shouldn't I?  So far, I haven't gotten close to the max that I was at before, so I'm happy with what I'm seeing so far... and this evening I'm going on a walk with my friend Kelly...

Hopefully, next week will see even more progress being made!!  :)  That's all for now, folks!

weigh in a day late

Hey gals!  I just weighed myself, and I'm now at 252.  I was at 259.5 a short while ago - I can't remember if that was last week or the week before, but either way I'm down 7.5 pounds!!  Not worrying about yarn too much at this point, just glad to have a few pounds off.  Now hopefully I can stay there, and continue losing...

Sorry I'm a day late but I can't seem to keep track of what day it is anymore!  LOL

Have a great weekend!!

- Mel
