Your body needed that month off in March to maintain and get ready for losing! The great thing is you didn't gain and you have punched up the plan to lose! I'm sooo excited for you!!! I bet you're feeling GREAT!! Have a great trip! I think it was meant to be that you guys go by yourselves...it's alot easier to travel with two than four..I went with 4 college roommates and we all wanted to do something different so there was a lot of splitting up. Hope the sun is shining and the roses are blooming! But it's beautiful outside and I'm putting on my sunscreen..can't handle any more freckles before summer!!...and I'm walking until I can't walk anymore...then I'm turning back and struggling home! I'm going to slimfast today through weigh in day to shock myself from all those Chili's chips/salsa I had last night. Of course, I'll eat my good meal of the day but I'm going to try for good salads with lots of fresh veggies in them...gotta make a grocery run to make this happen!!
I'm going to slimfast tonight and try to get regular again...I hope 4 hours of cleaning house and moving furniture will do for my exercise today..I'm just too pooped to walk anywhere after this day.lmhall2000 said:
I do like that we can eat breakfast in the mornings as a family and not have to rush....and I like the flexibility it offers...but the main reason we began homeschooling was my son's asthma...it was horrible at age 5 and when he began school...any cold he caught sent him into a downward spiral....he missed soo much school and was pitiful...each attack damages the lungs..so we decided to keep him home. That first year his attacks went from 12 attacks to 2! Then we fell in love with homeschooling and like that they can still be kids...we may put them in school for the later grades but for right now they're thriving and heck I'm learning a whole lot, too! I always thought homeschoolers were that fringe part of society that raised emu's and lived on farms..(those are GREAT, but not me)..but really for us it's a way for the kids to have time for sports, music lessons, dance lessons, community service projects, and still be a kid...my kids get atleast 3-4 hours of play time a day...my nieces are running non-stop from school to activity to homework and I think it's too much for kids. Our public schools here are taking away art/music and recess even at the kindergarten level, so for us it has worked well and we like that we can travel whenever we want to get some great savings and fewer lines at Disney! 
Sounds like you're making up for it just fine. Do make sure to increase your water.
Was in sunny Oxford Ohio on Saturday and it was 75 degrees!! WOO HOO!!
That started the weekend. Then off to a church to listen to DD17 high school choir sing chamber music for over 2 hours. One song was 30 minutes long. Have to give the kids credit but my big old butt was pretty sore by the end of it. 
What is that? That and my eating habits went out the window............Don't even want to know what the scale says. Back on track today and weigh in is on Thursday..........scary 
I know I know.........keep moving and drinking. Doctor appts are getting in the way of fitness visits so I will have to try to do more at home. 
You're going to love it here. The people are great and very supportive. Check out some of the WISH journals or start one of your own. They really do help.
I am glad to know that you had a good open house. Did you get around the egg smell? I am crossing my fingers for you that you get at least 3 offers, that way one will definitely work. is shining today.
The trick is putting the dryer sheets on the side where the air is blowing. I lived 6 hours from home during college and each time my parents visited I soared!!! Nothing like having mom there! YAHOO!!! WOW!! You skate, too??? I've been too petrified to put skates on..I used to love it and now that I'm closer to a healthy weight I really should try some on..you've inspired me!!! I've never done WW...but sooo many on here have had huge successes with it!! You've done it before and you know you can..that's half the battle! And the good news is you don't have to get 150 to be an achiever in this bunch...we're all aiming for 159.5...so you're 9.5 pounds closer than you thought!! Any number in the 150's is where we're aiming! 
WOW!!! Over 7 pounds lost since committing yourself to losing!!! YOU ARE MELTING!! YEAH!!! Just hearing the excitement in your post is making me feel really strong today!!! Y'all are great!!! It's hard to not lose with all you losers around! Feeling good! Thanks guys! This is a multi year process so the "agony" could go on for a few more years
Man is not a little anxious is he If all goes well we will be able to move to Florida, build a house and I can work at WDW part time. It is a wonderful fantasy - sigh................. 
You are an inspiration........I have also lost 7 since recommiting but it is the same 7 over and over and over again....... 
Look at me!! I have a new clippie! 
Only 10 more to go and I reach my first goal! I can hardly believe it. How is it possible to lose over a pound in one day? But I checked the scale more than once. Here's hoping that the rest of this week will keep Wooshing before it slows down again. Hopefully, you can contain your DH's retirement excitement just a little. This time, you will get past the repeating 7 lbs., I just know you will.
I just have to squeal about 2 pound losses!!! I would go bananas if I saw a 2 pound weekly loss! WAHOO!!! You are moving down that path to fit and fancy free! Knowing that someone on our team has managed a weekly 2 pound loss makes me a believer in losing!! And there are just some days that I feel like a deflated helium balloon trying my best to get off the ground but gravity calls me back...yet when I see a losing post I get my injection of helium and I'm off to the GOAL!!! So thanks sweetie for posting such a GREAT loss!!! Hope this "transition" doesn't take long and please report that weight loss gets easier after the transition! One can always hope! Y'all are inpsiring me to try and ice skate...it's been ages but now with 60 pounds off I think I could manage it and I'm sure it'd strengthen some muscles that aren't currently being used. Keep up the good work Linda...you'll be saying goodbye to some new pounds in stead of the old recycled ones you say you've been losing...I'm in fresh new pound country and it's slower than I'd like!!! I'm ready for these pounds to take flight!
Let's get that TEEN scale showing!!! 219, 219, 219 but only for a short while...then 218 and so on!!! You're going to ZOOM through the teens I just know it!!! Doesn't it feel great when that scale works for you instead of against???? I bet your dh is so proud and you're on ....Jump up and down and give yourself a big pat on the back!!! You're DOING IT!!!
I gained .4 at WW which puts me at 160 
I know it's just water, because I was good this week, so I'm sure it'll be gone by next week plus more. Shooting for 2 pounds and my 50 pound clippie 
. Meeting with the personal trainer tonight to get some more variation in my routine. Hoping that she will add weights and something for my abs........I really don't like Pilates.......
Remember I AM THE WORLD'S SLOWEST LOSER!! 
So you got distracted for a couple of days - you acknowledged it and are right back on track YEA FOR YOU!! Just hold that door open for us!! We will catch up to you Drink, drink and then drink somemore..... You are moving in the right direction!!
Have a great day--drink that water.
