    157.5 down from 159 on Mon. morning following an rv trip to Gulf Shores, AL, last week.  We ate out every day and had some good food.  I enjoyed the meals but didn't overdo it.

    WOWZER, good for you cdelv.  I'll bet it feels really good to have those drains out.  The weight loss is an added bonus.

    Down .6, no thanks to the colon cocktail I had Sunday afternoon/evening since I ate everything in sight Monday afternoon/evening!   But was good yesterday and so far today so at least I appear to be on the right path.

    Up another .5 to 133. I may have to try loseit.

    Wren, definitely try loseit.com.  It's free and does tend to keep you watching what you eat.

    and makes you want to exercise more too (because you can gain back calories through exercise!)

    This is my belated Wednesday weigh in. We just got back from vacation yesterday afternoon. I am up 1 lb, which doesn't surprise me, because I've been very bad with my eating and I'm just glad it's not worse! Time to get back on track.

    I totally missed Wednesday! Finally lost that dumb extra pound so I'm back to my "low" of 145. Now it's time to dodge that Easter Bunny and keep on losing!!

    3 weeks ago my DD and I started the C25K training and I cannot believe how much it has already affected me! Less muffin top! Thighs are visibly slimmer. And.....

    Today I wore THOSE JEANS!!! 

    (Ya know...the ones from the back of the closet!!!)

    ThumbsUpThumbsUpHappyThumbsUpThumbsUp

    So....do not give up, ladies!!!! I've been stuck weight-wise for a couple of years. It feels so good to be able to see progress. Ahhhhhhhh.

    Way to go, Dulcigirl!  That must feel fantastic to zip up those jeans!

    I have been over-indulging while dh's nephew was visiting us for a few days.  The scales are pointing an accusing finger so I have to get back on track.  Restaurant eating brings out the worst in me.

    Hi, ladies.  Well this week so far is shot on losing weight.  Was at a two day seminar where "breakfast" is all carbs - muffins, croissants, juice and fruit.  Lunch was vegetable soup with no protein and sandwiches that were about 3/4 bread.  Oh dear not good for carb intolerant. So by the time dinner rolls around (pizza) I'm starved and pigging out.  I just cannot eat that way because I'm hungry all the time.   I'm up 2 lbs as of today and it will take all week to get that off.  Next time when they ask for diet restrictions maybe I'll say I have celiac!

    Dulci, that's great to hear.  Makes me more motivated to push myself.  Thanks.

    Good going, Dulci! Yay for you! When is your 5K? I just registered to do a 5K with my daughter next month. It will be my first organized run of any kind.

  • Dulcigirl
    Dulcigirl Posts: 864

    This is our first one also. DH has done several triathlons and is training for a half ironman this summer, but I have NEVER run before. Our 5K is in 3 weeks. I know this one is more of a party than a race so we are just going to enjoy ourselves, but I wanted us to train toward it even if it's too crowded to do more than walk. Losing some flab was a surprising pleasant side effect. Maybe my body just needed the shock of doing something new. Shocked

    I've done 5K's in the past, mostly walking interspersed with a little running.  Never really considered them as 'races' as I was in them only for the fun of it.  Guess I'm not the competitive type!  Just saw a posting for a 5K in my town in 2 weeks.  It's a run/walk so think I will go for it.  Thanks Dulci for the motivation.

    2 days completed on loseit.com...so far so good!  I'm hoping to try a couch to 5k program when I'm a little stronger and then sign up for one.  I did one a little over a year ago, but it was all up hill for the first half and I wasn't expecting that!
