23 Sept 2013 - Hawaiian Solstice - LOSE 2 CRUISE.

[bagelme]

The scale finally moved this week in the right direction! I show a

 

loss of 1.8 lbs this week

 

for a total loss of 4.4 lbs since June 1.

 

I hate to get caught up with numbers on the scale to measure success, but unfortunately that's how I was raised.

 

I've been enjoying lots of fresh produce lately. Walking into the backyard and picking ripe figs off the tree for an after dinner treat has been fun. Of course, David has been going a step further by preparing his with rum poured over them and putting the whole thing over vanilla ice cream. So far I've resisted his method....I'm a purist after all.

 

Great job! The fresh figs sound so delicious! Yum!

Well I seem to be spinning my wheels here. up 1/2 pound this week.:(

I don't think I'm toning right now lol. Had a dizzy spell and passed out and took a bad fall so unable to work out the past few days due to bruising and soreness, can barely sit down lol. Maybe the pound gain is from swelling lol.

Oooohhhh....so sorry to hear that you hurt yourself. Take care of yourself, young lady. Got a cruise coming up!

Pat

[wv4891]

Deanna, hope you are feeling a whole much better. Do take care of yourself.

[betzjohn]

Oh Deanna. That's terrible. Get better fast and BE CAREFUL. You don't want to have to cx the cruise now!

[betzjohn]

Oh - and I lost 3 lbs this week. Guess the interval training finally kicked in. That and the fact that when I want my red wine at night I tell myself to hold off and it will taste so much better when I can sip it on the open seas in sept :). Mic - know this has to be a nightmare for you keeping up w ups and downs. I can hardly do my own numbers. Thanks!

[MicCanberra]

Deanna, hope you are feeling better soon. Take it easy, the L2C is not that important, we will love you anyway which way you turn up:) (maybe not if you are all bruised).:D

Well done, I am keeping track of the gains and losses with a word document, so no need to worry. Just let me know if it doesn't tally with your particular records for total loss.:D

At an 8 pound loss, have been walking 2 - 3 times a day this past week as still too sore to do floor exercises. Ploddding along well. Congrats to all those who are trying to eat a bit better, exercise a bit more and everything!

[bagelme]

Lost only .5 lb this week, but that's ok. Have come to the point, where I can actually feel a difference.

 

We're all doing so good! Pat

[wv4891]

Down 1/2 pound here this week. Seem to be playing tag with that 1/2 pound.:D

[Honeybearhollow]

You guys are doing so fantastic! Please add me to your group. I have been working at losing, but think I need to add in exercise. I weighed this morning again. I was on prednisone for 4 years for an autoimmune disease that is now in remission. I gained weight while on prednisone and it is very hard to get it off. Hoping I can make a dent in the 7 weeks we have left. Yes, I do take several sizes of clothes on cruises and wear the smaller ones first. I always have a problem with swelling, so that does not help. I am going to start walking a half hour in the beginning and will do swimnastics 3 times a week.

Welcome to the group!

I can relate to the prednisone issue....my daughter has pemphigus (also auto-immune) and has had to deal with the side effects of that drug for a few years and she's only 29 yrs old. I, myself, have only bad eating habits to blame for my own weight issues. Been yo-yo-ing for 50 years, unfortunately.

A lot of blame on prednisone and thyroid issues but , in truth, I do not try to diet on cruises or in Jan & Feb when we are in Florida. So for the last 10 years it has been a struggle.:)

Welcome to the LOSE 2 CRUISE, I am glad to hear of your recovery and yes weight gained due to medication can be tough to shift.:D

[MicCanberra]

No change for Rosie either this week. Welcome to Honeybear hollow and well done to all those who lost this week.:D
