25 lb CLIPPIE THREAD!! Other posters welcome, too!

[mowsie dreamer]

As a brand new member of the 25 pound clippie club, I thought we needed a thread of our own!

So let's hear from all of you 25 clippie holders out there! What is working for you or what is not! How much have you lost so far and how close are you to the next clippie level!! You do realize, don't you, that we are now going for the GOLD?!?!?! Only 5 more pounds til we earn that beautiful shiny gold clippie!!

So come on, 25 pound clippie people, let's pump it up and make it to the next level!!!

ME!!!!

I had earned my 25 lb. clippie earlier this month but then backtracked. I kind of felt like a fraud with my 25 lb. clippie but with this past week's weigh-in I am now down 28.5 pounds so I only have 1.5 more pounds to get the gold!!! I really want that bright shiny new clippie this week so I am trying really hard to be good.

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Woo Hoo!!!! Becka's here!!! You are moving along fast!!! I don't think you're going to be with us on the 25 lb thread long!! That gold is sure a prize worth working for, isn't it?? I am really pumped that I just have 5 more to go.!

 

[Beanie]

Just stopping in to say Hi!! I was a 25 pound clipper a few weeks ago and that last pound was so hard, but Becka you are doing awesome!! Good for you!! You have such a positive attitude as well!! Keep up the great work!!

These threads are so wonderful!! I love reading them all!!

Hi!

I'm also a member of the 25lb clippie club! I have two pound to get the gold, but since I leave Saturday for 2 weeks @ WDW, I don't imagine I'll be seeing it any time soon!

I'm going to try and be a careful as possible though.

I have lost 41 lbs altogether since joining Diet Divas on 4/23/03.

Have a great week and Congrats everyone!

-Mary Rose, the diet diva

Hi Mary Rose! Just 2 lbs away from the gold!! Way to go!! Congratulations on your 41 total loss, too! It's so inspiring to me to see these totals!!! What a bunch of losers we are! I can't think of any better reason to postpone going to the next clippie than a trip to WDW!!! I hope you have a great trip!

Well, I've had my 25 pound clippie for a while now -- after I reached my WW goal (27.something pounds) I decided to slow down the weight loss. Now that I've made WW lifetime, I will probably try to lose a few more so I can get my 30-pound GOLD clippie and soon thereafter my GOAL!

Just need to get in gear, here.

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Sounds like you already ARE in gear, Disneyaholic! Reaching your WW goal and earning Lifetime status is really something to crow about! Did you have a different, lower goal for WISH? I would have thought that you should have already added your Goal clippie since you met your WW goal!

Earning Lifetime through WW is something I hope to do--but it's still a long way away for me. Once you get there, do you find it hard to adjust to the maintainence phase? It's sooo easy for me to gain weight, I am afraid that once I enter maintenance, I will gain some back.

I am now able to join ya'll!!! Now don't get offended but I don't want to stick around very long!! I want that shiny 30 pound clippie!!

 

[mishoe01]

YEAH!!!! I GET TO JOIN THE 25LBERS TODAY!!!

I just had my weigh in this morning - I had 1.2 lbs to lose this past week to hit the 25lb mark, and I lost 2.4lbs!!!

YEAH!!!!!

 

[becka]

Well I made my goal of getting my 30 lb. clippie this week so I will have to leave you and graduate to the next thread but I hope to see you all on the 30 lb. thread real soon!!!!

Onward and Downward!!!!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Woooo Hooooo!!! That is great news, Becka!!! I love that shiny new 30 pound clippie!!! Save us all a seat on the 30 lb thread, ok?

mum4jenn and mishoe01, it is great to see you here!!!! I think we all have our eye on the gold, however!!!

For everyone else, I hope you are having a great week! My official WW weigh in is tonight and I will post my stats either tonight or tomorrow morning. I am afraid it may not be pretty. I was afraid to look at the scales this morning, but my DH fixed supper last night and he heavily salted everything! I could feel myself bloating almost as I ate!!

 

[Beastlover]

ME TOO!!! I weighed in this morning to find myself at the 25 pound loss!!! WOOHOO!! I couldn't post this morning because I had pre-op testing and my DS had 4 wisdom teeth and 4-12 yr molars removed. I am playing nurse today!!!
But I am psyched for the GOLD!!!!!
Hey!! Let's set a new mini goal!!! I want to get the gold by Sep. 1!! I am leaving myself extra time because of my surgery Wed. and I am not sure what it will do to me.
Congratulations everyone!! I am happy to be back with my group!!!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Wooooooo Hooooooooo!!!!!! I KNEW I would see you on the 25 lb thread this week, Beastlover!!!! Way to go!!! I'll join you in that mini-goal!!! PD is coming your way for a successful surgery. I'll be thinking of you. {{Hugs}} to your DS, too!! Hope he is feeling better soon.

As I said earlier, my WI wasn't all that great today. I had checked earlier in the week and I was down a pound, so I had hoped for a total loss of 2 lbs this week. I followed my WW plan to the T, so I feel sure that this is fluid retention from too much sodium. Sooooo, this week I am once again cutting out all extra salt and upping my water intake a bit. Hopefully that will help.

 

[Beastlover]

Mowsie Dreamer-sounds like you are on top of it!! Great job!! DS is doing better, it is just heartbreaking because he is high functioning autistic...a lot he cannot comprehend...I cried when I first saw him... He is resting comfortably, though.
I am concerned though about my surgery, I don't want to go backwards, but I know not to push it, either. (It's in my abdomen, so it makes it harder)
Anywho, let's get to that goal!!!!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Yep - I am at 25 and holding - would like to add a "whine" here but can't since it is my own fault and I know it! I am hoping that this thread will make me accountable to all you and that soon I can be moving on, too. I feel the rumble of the dust from this group - you just won't be here long.

You guys are so enthusiastic I am just going to come here during the week and get back some positiveness myself. I had 2 goals - did those - and somehow lost the avid concentration I had. But.............. with the excitement I see here I am going for the rejuvenation! I don't like the thought that I will be left in your dust.

With my right hand in the air "I solemnly swear to lost another 5 lbs. by being a faithful WW point counter and not a cheater" - oh wait -wait - I am going to the State Fair on Wednesday ( to watch OhMom's dd and my dgd competite with her dog) and it's probably a sort-of cheat day - can I start this rejuvenation for real on Thursday? I will be OP tomorrow and exercise and good on Wed but I just can' t take that oath just yet.---------I'll be back Wed night -and be ready - set- go!

Good going everyone who has been faithful - you will be wearing the gold soon!

Congratulations everyone!

You can do it.

God bless, best wishes, and encouragement, RaySharpton

I just grabbed my 25 lb. clippie today. Nothing feels as good as a new clippie.

I don't want to seem unsatisfied, but I hope to grab a 30 lb. within 3 weeks. I can't wait to get a gold clippie!

 

[Beastlover]

PAdisMOM-are you joining us on our minigoal? We are grabbing that shiny 30 pound clippie by Sep. 1--think you are up to it??? Sounds like you are ready to go!!!

 

[PrincessMo]

Hi Gang...........I am not at the 25 pound clippie yet .......i just got my 20 pound clippie but I know I will be there soon and I wanted to set the mini goal with everyone for getting the 30 pound gold weight loss clippie by September 1st.....I want to lose 20-25 more pounds by September 20th and to hit a loss of 10 or more by September 1st would be fabulous. I am actually seeing all of my family (who will be at the wedding) on August 23rd for my younger brothers graduation party so I am hoping to at least lose another 5-10 pounds even by then.

I know we can all do this........Just some positive thinking is all the tools we need. Have A Disney Day!!!!
