Now tell me what's happening with you all.

I'm down 86 pounds. There. Now I've jinxed it!!!

Kidding. But it feels that way sometimes...as if I say it out loud, then the scale might say to me, "Just messing with ya!" I think I finally see less of me when I look in the mirror. It's hard, because I see me everyday. But there are little things. Like, how much room there is between me and the steering wheel or how comfortable it is to put the arm down on my seat in the car, or how it isn't a chore to put on shoes that require tying, or I can wear heels again (not a good thing, I've been buying shoes), or and drum roll please, I am not leary of stairs anymore. They are easier.

In fact, I caught myself thinking last night as I was walking in the store to pick up something for Family Night, that this FEELS easier. That there is 86 less pounds of me walking into the store, or there is 86 pounds that I'm not lugging around. That's so weird.

Now, I'm going to jinx it again by saying that my long stall seems (SEEMS) to be over. The scale is finally moving again. Hence, the extra 6 pounds lost. Praying that it keeps moving that I keep doing whatever it is that I'm doing right.

And a big THANK YOU to whoever posted about the salad JARS!! That is the most awesome idea. It works!! Would work even better if I could eat the whole salad, but I just save the other half for another meal. No worries. But that idea is the best. Works like a charm!! And I can just reach into the fridge and grab my lunch. The only draw back is it does require some pre-planning on my part, but I'm working on that. Like putting some eggs on to boil while I'm fixing dinner or something. Working out the kinks and loving the SALAD JAR.

You are doing awesome!!!! It does feel great!

salad jars?? I haven't tried that yet. How many to you pre make and do they stay fresh?

Congrats to all!!!!!!

I can definitely get around easier...I seem to have more bounce to my step! Guess losing 90 lbs can do that.

I've been doing a lot of aqua fitness, aqua jogging and aqua spinning...they're great no stress on ankles and knees.

green girl you looking amazing love the new pic. and thanks for waking the room up i stopped in the other day and it was so quiet no postings for days. again you look awesome.

teatime i found myself working out twice a day. where in the hell did all that energy come from lol. loving it. I am doing turbo jam which is awesome and her lower body jam. my knees hurt and my ankle but i cant baby my pains anylonger.

3lbs lost this week after not losing for a month. i think its that Water, the fat flush water. ive been drinking it for almost 10 days now and it really works it give me energy also. if you havent tried it go to you to and look for fat flush water. its popular now. i love it makes my water taste yummy and refreshing.

I love how we all have sooooo much more energy. It feels good.

[Momofthing1thing2thing3 116]

I made several days worth and the last one was as fresh as the first one. So cool! The whole idea of putting the greens in last and thus the farthest away from the dressing and not shaking them until you eat, is awesome!! Such an easy grab and go. I hate, hate, hate, fixing lunch. Breakfast and dinner are easy. Lunch is a pain. The salad jars are a Godsend!

And TEATIMED, that is why it has been so quite on here, cause we all have so much energy that we're out using it instead of being on the computer!!! WooHoo, us!!

You are all amazing! Congratulations to all of you! Green, you look beautiful. Your weight and pants size is where I'm striving towards.

I have been at 157 for 7 weeks now and still a size 14 pants. Can we say FRUSTRATED? The scale bounces a couple of pounds up then back. I've lost total 82 lbs and am 22 pounds from personal goal but it's not doing anything. I think my Hair loss is getting better, not finished yet but better.

I exercise three times a week and eat my Protein and produce. I think New Grandmother has a great idea about the Water though to try. The salad jars sound awesome!

I hope this stall breaks soon!

I am down 86 pounds and feeling great. Loving the salad jars. It broke my stall but I'm stalled again. I ended up being gone for another week to help my niece with her sick kids. I didn't do my salads and probably didn't get in as much Protein. Taking care of 4 kids (2 of them with fevers) does not leave a lot of time for planning! I don't know that I would have been able to do this before surgery!! So glad I could help her out. She is a teacher and already took maternity leave a couple of months ago.

Did a bunch of shopping as I really needed spring/summer clothes that fit. I have been able to squeak by with what I had until now. I found it overwhelming with all the choices! I had a 30% off coupon at Kohls and got a ton of Kohls cash so I got to have another shopping spree. It feels great to have clothes that fit. Especially underwear and bras!! lol It's nice to look in the mirror and see someone almost normal looking! I still have about 50 I would like to lose but I sure feel great! I no longer look at my reflection in windows etc and think Who is that???? love it!

Sue, I shopped for bras the other day and it was so exciting for once I was able to buy pretty undergarments!!!! No old lady over the shoulder boulder holders!!! LOL!!!

I have lost cup sizes and for the first time in my life I needed a push up bra??? Oh well, I'll take the good with the bad.

All of you have a blessed day!!!

I am so going to look up the fat flush water.

Thanks!!!

You are doing a great job!!!!

I am so going to look up the fat flush Water.< /p>

Thanks!!!

Here's what I found for the fat-flush water:, but if anyone else has another recipe, please SHARE!!

You should drink at least three 8 oz glasses per day, they say the longer it sits, the better it tastes. You can eat them as well but they are intended as flavoring and still work, so that is a personal choice. The Vitamin C turns fat into fuel, the tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, and the cucumber makes you feel full. Try it for 10 days and see what you think!

Ingredients per 8... oz serving

Water

1 slice grapefruit

1 tangerine

½ cucumber, sliced

2 peppermint leaves

Ice – as much as you like

Directions

Wash grapefruit, tangerine cucumber and peppermint leaves. Slice cucumber, grapefruit and tangerine (or peel). Combine all ingredients (fruits, vegetables, 8 oz water, and ice) into a large pitcher.

Stir & Enjoy!

this confused me, its a whole grapefruit. im still drinking it past the 10 days so refreshing for the hot Water
