6-26-14 Thursday Weigh-In..Six Months Of 2014 Is Gone!

[Belle]

Where did the time go..so fast

Summer is here..how long will it last

 

Before you know it..winter will be here

Can you believe 2015 is so near

 

What I'm trying to say

I/We can't waste the days

 

Need this weight off now..don't you see

Even if we have to drink water by the ton and pee

 

Night and day..eat right..exercise..drink water and wee

We don't like it but have to..so clothes will fit us to a tee

 

So the scale must be part of our life

Even if we want to break it with a knife

 

So get up and walk a mile or two this week

So what if your knees feel weak

 

Kisses and hugs to you all

For your sore muscles and your falls

 

Eat less food and make it right

Then each day you will wake up and feel lite

 

You might feel hungry in the evening sometimes

Then you can do "housework" and make the house shine (yeah right)

 

Drink water and your skin will glow

Then the man or woman in your life will say very slow

 

Your getting Thinner .. I Love You

Thanks for the poem Belle! Hope everything is going ok for you.

 

I am down 0.8# this morning ... slow going but in the right direction.

 

Good luck to all. Jan

Thanks for the poem, Belle.

 

Congrats on your loss, Jan. Slow going is good, its not a gain.

 

I stayed the same. :( I did not eat any differently, but I have noticed that the loss has slowed a lot lately. I am 3.5 lbs away from my final goal weight. Three weeks until I cruise. Wish me luck!

HI all!

 

Belle ~ some good points in your poem! Some of us were amazed that June is almost over, time is just flying by!!

 

Rose ~ wtg being so close to your goal & your cruise!

 

I'm down 0.6 lbs which is better than being up it. I now am where I was 3 years ago when I started doing MFP. Got to lose those same 15 lbs I put on after retiring, again!:o

 

Have a great weekend.

Hooray for losses!! I'm still stuck 235 day until cruise. My last 15-16 lbs won't budge.

Hello Everyone,

 

Congrats losers. Jan, Rose, Jo you are doing so well at getting back down. Yeah!

 

I did better this week. I lost 1.5 of the 2 lbs. I gained last week.

 

My last day of work is tomorrow. I got a severance package, more than I thought. Will file for unemployment next week.

 

Had a nice day today, a friend of mine came to work and we had lunch out. Very nice.

 

Let's all stay well and stay positive.

I officially hate road trips. Ate great all day, then blow it huge at dinner. Up 4lbs to 206 again...jeez my willpower sucks.

[Dancin85]

I am up .2 pounds this week but I expected it. I ate out 3 times this last week...3 very good meals, and had lots of good sweet tea with each of those meals.

 

This is a new week, so instead of beating myself up, I will try to do better.

 

Good going and good luck all. Have a GREAT weekend!

HI all!

 

shootr ~ I think willpower is something we all struggle with but we know we can do it as we've lost those pounds before!;)

 

Diana ~ glad to hear about your severance. Good luck with job hunting.

Staying positive is what we need in all circumstances.

 

I just borrowed a book from the library by Rocco Dispirito "The Pound a Day Diet" which sounds appealing. He's a chef so the food should be good.

A friend of mine asked me to look up the Shred Diet. So many diets eh?

Calories in vs calories used is the common theme but so hard to stick to!:o

 

Have a nice weekend.

ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT - THAT IS IT!!!

 

I'm not eating crap from this morning on. 5AM grocery run got me lots of V8, veggies, and 2lbs of shrimp for a massive bowl of Mexican style Shrimp Cocktail. Plenty of chicken in the freezer, 5lb bag of spuds, and lots of salad making stuff.

 

 

 

(This will last me 3 days, easy!)

 

 

On Monday the Mrs. heads to a family reunion, the kids are with their mother - and I won't have anything but work and health to focus on for 10 solid days, establish the routine, and go from there.

 

Looking down and seeing that pudge coming back is ticking me off to no end. I've been way worse, but I liked 190 way better than 210 so it's time to stop screwing around and get after it.

 

But we're still having fun - and that's the key for me - distractions!

Went to a new driving range yesterday that is set up like electronic darts - me and my son had a ball!

 

Hang tough everyone, and congrats to the losers that are towing the line! And congrats to the rest of us that still show up and take responsibility and at least try to make ourselves healthier.

 

WE WILL WIN!

Today's exercise. It helps to have a good workout buddy :)
