Shari-
It sounds like you are doing an awesome job already. I know one other thing that might help you out a bit. Go on a an ultra high fiber diet for a few days. Buy and eat a lot of dried plums (prunes), eat fiber cereal or whatever you feel comfortable doing. Sometimes if we don't eat a lot of fiber, there can be build up in our intenstinal tract. I have heard that this can be as much as an additional 10lbs, but I have experienced a drop of about 3lbs in a week due to this. It also helps you just feel better too. It really is quite amazing how much fiber we really need in our daily diet.
Speaking of all these healthy living plans- I need to go drink more water.
But I am down to 148! Yay! I am so happy! I have not been below 150 for about 5 years! It makes me just want to buckle down and do more!!

HI, EVERYONE.. I think I needs a new scale. ... My scale is digital and this moring it posted 175, then 214 then 115....guess my grandkids have been weighing the dog again...Think I'll get a new one when I go out and keep it in my bedroom. dogs are not allowed in there,but I think Jessy likes to sleep on my bed when I am out..
I will be anxious to see what my true weight will be, none of those that showed up...but close give or take a pound or two.....

Diet teas Anyone???? Has anyone ever tried a diet tea? I'm just wondering if they really work since I see many advertised. If you use one that does help, what is the name?

The only "Diet Tea" I have ever tried was Kombucha Tea. It is more of a cleansing tea, but I did feel really energized when I drank it and I did get out and move more. So in a way it was a diet tea :) Other than that, I don't know much about them. Have you tried them, Tina?

No, I haven't tried them but I keep seeing them advertised and was wondering if they were just a cleansing type of tea or something that actually helped. One of the teas that I keep seeing is Wu Long Tea so I was just wondering.

Okay,weighed, up 2 lbs. That is okay, used dd scale, I think it is more accurate than mine. Took the bike out for 3 spins last week and walked. So eat less, exercise more.
Didn't come on overnight wont go away overnight!!!!
Enjoying the moments. |

Cindy Lee- Of course you are invited! And break out that bike! They are such a good way to lose weight and so much fun too! Remember how much fun it was to ride a bike as a kid?
Since I am back home again I don't have access to a scale for a while so I am going to just have to post about how I feel and look instead.
Today I went for a walk with Nora and Sky-dog. I pushed the stroller and jogged a couple of blocks worth. We also walked up one of the steepest hills in Moscow and since it was like doing lunges just to walk up the hill, I just made my stride deeper to do lunges up the hill.
How are you all doing?

Ok you guys, my weigh in at W.W. is actually on Friday and I don't want to be hoppin' on the scale all the time (because that is what I used to do) I will just give you my friday weight loss and that was 4#!! Now, I know it was mainly water and the fact that I just started a new diet but I will take it with a smile!!
I've been walking the dogs and riding my bike every morning and just plain getting moving. I feel SOOOO much better just knowing that I am doing something!
Alee, how nice that Nora gets to enjoy your workout too! That must a pretty good workout!
Can't wait to hear how you all did this week! Cindy PS Thanks for letting me join in.

| Ohhh, I forgot to mention that I started water aeobics 3 days a week. I have old lady knees and have found that I just can't walk as far as I need to so working out in the water is really helping! |

I am not stepping on the scales this week, this girl has not done so well. Need to get moving, didn't.
So starting to look in the mirror again, I accept myself unconditially right now!!! It is written on the mirror and I need to pay attention. When I accept myself, my thinking process changes.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and I sure didn't myself into this mess in a day. One step in a time and moving forward.
Good reminder to myself.....
Enjoying the moments. |

I haven't been around a scale for a while, but I am feeling pretty good about myself. I have been watching how I am eating, and overall I am doing really good! I need to start exercising and doing my pilates videos, but I can't do the pilates until I can get the living room clean! Grrr...
I am hoping to be able to start riding my bike soon- either alone or with Nora in a carriage. I just am feeling like I need to get the house cleaned up first.

Can anyone join in?? Please, lol. I usually weigh in at weight group on fridays but with school out, I missed last fridays. Hoping to get there this week. I have been working on losing 10-15 lbs. So I joined Jazzercise, I love it. The nice thing is, I can see the muscles developing. Some days I have gotten on the scale and gained, much to my dismay but have been told, muslce weighs more that fat, yeah, yeah, yeah, lol I ride a stationary bike too, my regular bike needs a bit of work and am hoping my hub bets it done so I can start riding it with my son. And I walk with my dogs, some days we do 4 miles.

Welcome to the group Trace! Everyone is welcome to join in!
I haven't weighed myself yet this week, but I am feeling better. The housework still isn't completely done. Part of it is the heat and part of it was the house was in pretty bad shape. But now we are getting the various rooms around the house done so some of the clutter in the living room can go back where it belongs.
We won't be leaving the house for our pilates- but rather doing video tapes. I would love to go swimming, but not sure if it would be worth it to pay for a pass when school will be in session soon. Maybe I can get into a swimming class for school. I am sure I would see great results if I had to swim for a class! :)
