Good luck Pizzicato!! :wink:

I also dropped a size. What a wonderful feeling. Makes all my walking worthwhile!!

I am so happy you are back to being you!! Thanks for the encouragement. I really need it at this point. I am going to log in everything this week and have an appointment with the nutritionist the week after next. My doctor feels I will lose in chunks. I am the one who should weigh in monthly. Again, I am so glad you are feeling better.

Becky, I am getting into the exercise big time! The scale is not moving though. I just can't seem to find the perfect combination yet. I get discouraged but posting has helped me tremendously. I will track faithfully starting tomorrow. I don't know what the issue is with me. My clothes are big, the inches are coming off but the scale is not moving. I wish I could be more like you Biggest Losers in the Crazy Ates!!

Salsa, How are you? Hope all is better!!

Happy Easter everyone! I did my 4.5 mile walk this morning. I wish you all a wonderful holiday.

Hi everyone, Did my 4.5 mile walk today. The scale didn't budge this week. Don't know why but I will try harder next week. I am going to drop the calorie count to 800 per day and see how that works. Hope you have a great Easter!!

I logged in with 986 today on sparkpeople.com. Hope that isn't too much. As of yesterday the scale had not moved:mad:. I think I better track this week and make an appointment with the nutritionist.

Hi everyone! I did my 4.5 mile walk today. I hope everyone has a peaceful and blessed Good Friday.

Congratulations Candle!! You are an inspiration to me!!!:shades_smile::thumbup::success1::thumbup::party::thumbup::thumbsup::thumbup:

Hi Pizzicato, Count me in!! I do all this walking and the scale moves VERY slowly for me. It is so hard to stay motivated. I am losing inches more than pounds. I need to post my food and make sure I am taking in enough Protein and calories each day. I will start tomorrow with logging in my food. I use sparkpeople.com. Great website.

I just finished my 4.5 mile walk. It was chilly out today! Salsa - hang in there! We know you'll be back with a vengenance!

Hi everyone!! I finished a 5 mile walk and a strength training session. Boy, I still don't like the strength training:rolleyes2:! Have a great night. Biggest Loser is on tonight. I love that show!!

OK Crazy Eights Biggest Losers - I have a favor to ask of you. Would you post an ordinary day or two of food you eat? Since I finally have good restriction and now I am exercising regularly I want to make sure I am on target with the food aspect as well. Thanks!

Thanks everyone!! This really helped me out a lot!

I just finished my 4.5 mile walk. I actually jogged a bit! That was tough but fun. Now I need to down some serious water. I actually kept track of everything today. Even the 2 bites of soda bread!! Princess Grumpy Pants - hang in there and yes we all have things to work through. While I was walking I met my nasty @ss sister in law walking also. I wanted to throw her down the mountain. :thumbup: She did compliment me surprisingly. I have known her since the 1st grade. It is negative competition constantly. Did I mention she lives down the street??!! Salsa - hang in there. :biggrin: I really do feel for you. But with that said I would have to slice off my boobs to lose 7 lbs in 7 days!! Not good for you at all but I would love to be able to do that. You have your body in fat burning mode that is for sure. You're in my thoughts.

Thanks Becky! I sure hope so. I too am very tight in the morning. Funny enough I can't eat that much for dinner because I am so restricted. I absolutely am with you on the wine. I am a Pinot Grigio lover!! Need to watch that too! I have been leaning towards carbs because they go down easy. What do you think of the Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks?

Salsa, Be proud of that skin!! You can tell you are a young lady also:lol:! Your skin is not wrinkled like mine! You worked hard to get where you are. You are so successful because of your realistic attitude. I say "Way to Go"!!!:mad2::thumbup:

Hang in there Pizzi. If it is meant to happen, it will. Patience is not one of my strong suits either. Where do you live that you have fresh snow?

Happy St Patricks Day everyone!! I finally had an NSV!! I wanted to wear something green today of course. I could only wear one blouse because they were all too big!!! My pants from Kohls I just bought are a 16w and the zip up perfectly!! Finally I am starting to see progress. Better late than never. I know returning to the Crazy Ates definitely gave me the motivation I needed. Thanks and enjoy your day!! I know I will!!!

Oh Salsa, I feel so sorry for you. My band tightens up if I am upset. I have heard others say that also. Try and relax and enjoy that hot new body of yours!! You look great and you have done an amazing job in a small amount of time. I can't imagine you would go back to your old ways especially after surgery. At support group, one woman is too tight but leaves herself that way. She purees high protein soup like lentil or any type of bean. I hope you feel better soon! You have certainly inspired me!!

LOL! I already have that droopy skin! It gets droopier and droopier each week. Mine is much worse than yours would ever be! I do have to make better choices.

Congratulations Bergdorfblonde!! I am right there with you! Literally!! Time for you and I to kick some serious weight loss butt! Keep up the good work!:thumbup:

Thanks so much Salsa. You got me started on the Lean Pockets awhile ago and they saved me big time in the morning. After my second adjustment I can no longer eat them. They get stuck. My teenagers love them which is a good thing! I am eating too many carbs again. I am definitely not over eating (first time I have said that in 20 years!!!). I need to watch my choices more carefully.
