25 lb clippies...how are you???

[Beastlover]

Just checking in with the 25 lb clippie holders! Some of us have goals set and I was wondering how we were doing??!!

I am healing great from the surgery--I jumped on a 3 pound loss last week, so I have 2 pounds to go until I get that shiny gold clippie!! AND only 4 pounds until my halfway mark!!

So let's hear from the rest of you--how was your week? Labor day is coming up--lets go for the gold!!!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Great week, Michelle!! 3 pounds is great any old week, but especially great coming off surgery like you have!!! Way to go!! My crystal ball tells me there is gold in your future very, very soon now!!!

I weigh in at 5 today at my WW meeting, but I am not looking for a loss today. I just hope I am not showing a gain!! Earlier this week I was so excited to see 2 more pounds drop from the scales. Then, yesterday morning I was really excited when I saw 2 more down! BUT, (there's always a but) this morning TOM had started and I was up 4 pounds!!! Ugggggggghhh!! Why couldn't TOM have waited one more day!!! This is sooooo annoying!

Well, enough whining! How is everyone else?? I see that mum4jenn is leaving us this week!!!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Back from wi and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I did at least lose .75 pounds, so I am that much closer to our Labor Day goal.

 

[Beastlover]

I remember the rule for math--round up!!! You are doing great for TOM--just think, when you are done, maybe the WHOOSH fairy will pay you a visit!!
How much more do you have to Labor Day? You can do it!!

 

[Beastlover]

Where are all the 25 pound clippie holders???? Helllooooo
Well, I am checking in, I have .5 pound to go to the Labor Day goal--and then 2 pounds until halfway to final goal. So, I will probably update my Labor Day goal to a 32 pound loss, my halfway goal.
How is everyone else doing? Won't it feel wonderful to see that shiny GOLD clippie under your name???!! I'm psyched!! Let's boogie!!

just checking in real fast.........everyone is doing wonderful........congrats on your 3 pound lost beastlover. I am a new 25 pound clippie girl, just got it yesterday. lost another 1/2 pound this morning so 4.5 more pounds to go before I get the gold and it's at that point that I am exactly 1/2 way to my goal. To get to be 1/2 way in 2 months is like a dream come true. I have all you in the wish to thank. I have a party for my younger brother graduating this saturday and all my family and some family friends will be there and I would love to lose that 4.5 pounds by then or come real close. It's like a mini, mini goal. I am still on the wagon to losing these 4.5 pounds by labor day but I am hoping to lose them sooner. my first mini goal is to lose 19.5 more by september 20th and with all the support I get in here I know I can do it. Hope everyone is well. Talk to you all soon.

Have A Disney Day!!!!!!!

Michelle!!!! Only .5 to go for the gold?!?!? Go suck in your tummy, raise one arm over your head and stand on the scales with one foot!! You might be able to claim that beautiful gold clippie now!! Already tried that, you say?? Well, you will certainly have it by next Monday, well ahead of our Labor Day goal!! You are red hot, girl!!

PrincessMo: Yet another .5 gone today?? Wow, I can't believe how you are movin' on!!! Hope you make your mini mini goal, but even if you don't, and 4.5 is hard to lose in 1 week unless you have water weight) you are doing SUPER GREAT!!

As for me, as of this morning, 2 of those water weight pounds are gone. TOM just plain stinks!! But hopefully things will turn around by next Monday.

I am so proud of all you 25 pound clippie guys!! We are gonna get to the GOLD!!!

Here I am!!!!

Beastlover-way to go after surgery!! That's fantastic.

Did not do well at all this week - only lost 0.1 lb----am going to try to be better this week. I am at 27.5 lbs now....42.5 more to go for goal (no set date).

What was the Labor day goal - to get to 30lbs? I don't remember. If that is it, I'll try----I should be able to do 2.5 lbs, right?

Have a great day!!

 

[Beastlover]

Great to hear from everyone!!

PrincessMo-WOW!! Those are some goals!! You really know what you want!! Go for it!!

Mowsie Dreamer--2 lbs gone is 2 lbs gone!!! Drink lots of water and that nasty bloat fairy will drown out of you!!

Mishoe01--losing .1 lb is better than gaining, right?? Our goal is that 30 lb clippie by labor day!! You can do it, 2.5 lbs...drink lots of water and watch your salt!!

Have a great week-see you later!

 

[webray]

Doing great...just a couple of pounds away from 30..yippee!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Monica: What's this "only" stuff? You lost .1 this week and that is .1 closer to your goal!! Some weeks are just better than others, but any week that you lose is another step closer! (i know, I know--next week you will have to tell me this ) We can definitely get the gold by Labor Day!!

webray- you are getting close now! I've got my sunglasses ready to go for when you get that shiny, gold clippie!

Keep up the good work, everybody!! We are moving closer and closer to the GOLD!!!

WI today showed one more gone! this is good - I hope I am over the gaining and losing of the same 3 for the past month! I am sticking to the plan and journaling and counting like crazy. I don't know if I can make the mini-goal by Labor Day but just to be back on track and a loss today helps my frame of mind!

Good going all you 25 lb losers and keep up the good work!

Just back from 4 days at Lake of the Ozarks.

I tried to my best to stay on plan, but mom brought fresh garden tomatoes and who doesn't love those with their scrambled eggs, huh?

I didn't get any formalized exercising in, but walking the outlet mall when it is 103 degrees should count for something, right?

I will weigh in tomorrow a.m. and let you know how I did.

 

[Beastlover]

aarrrgh!! My loss this week turned into a maintain. Better than a gain, I guess. No shiny new clippie this week. Okay because I still have a week to get it!!

How is everyone else doing? How many are leaving us for the gold?? Congratulations to you!!!!

Hi gang I'm back for good now............Last week and 1/2 of the week before I was out-of-commission. I had my wisdom teeth (all four) taken out a little less that 1 1/2 weeks ago. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but it ended up being a big deal. After the surgery I came home and felt really great......I was eating eggs and everything........well 2 days later I started getting more and more pain......i just thought it was normal healing pain.......then a few more days later I wasn't sleeping through the night, the pain killers weren't taking the pain away
(and the pain killers made me so sick and dizzy that all I did was lay on the couch) and I felt sick. So the next day I got a really gross taste in my mouth and my beau drove me to the oral surgeon's office and they said I had 2 dry sockets. I was almost to tears by the time I got there I was in so much pain and they gave me packing with medicine on it and 1/2 hour later I felt like a million dollars. I wished that I had went sooner but I'm glad I didn't wait any longer either.

Anyhoo, I feel better now but I didn't do much of anything that whole time because I was on the pain killers and felt awful so I am slowly doing a little each day getting my strength and energy back. Even though today my TOM came. Oh well.

I didn't journal at all last week which is not like me but I stuck to the diet as best as I could. Before my TOM I was 3#'s away from the gold which I don't know if I will see it by labor day but hopefully when my TOM is over in a few days that 3#'s will just drop off. Hope everyone else is doing well and reaching their goals. Talk to you soon gang.

Have A Disney Day!!!!!

 

[Jiminy102]

Hi all!!!! Just wanted to pop in and say hello!!!

 

[Beastlover]

OOOHHH! PrincessMo-I am so sorry! I remember when you got them out, I hope you are feeling much better now! We all forget that when we go thru surgery we can't expect to lose, maintain, the goal is to heal properly! Take it easy, drink your water and your TOM should come and go like the wind!!
Hello Jiminy102! Glad you're here! Some of us are looking for our gold clippies by Labor Day--do you have any mini goals for Labor Day?
Let's get this train going to 30 pound clippieville--NONSTOP!!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Hi everybody It's sounding like we have all had a slow week this week. That happens sometimes and we all have a week left before Labor Day anyway!!

Michelle--I'm sure you are just maintaining after the big loss you had last week! If I know you, that won't stand for long and you'll be flashing that gold on the bottom of every post.

PrincessMo-I feel your pain!! I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago, and I got a dry socket. I thought my head would explode from the pounding. No wonder you couldn't journal. Your eyes were probably crossed from all that pain and the painkillers! I'll bet things will go much better for you this week!

I had a crummy weigh in yesterday My DD had a doctor's appt and I got the bright idea that I would weigh in at the WW center near her dr's office since I would miss my regular meeting. VERY BAD IDEA!! I came away with a 3.5 pound gain!! I am putting it down to a difference in the scales and a difference in the clothes I usually wear to WI. ( I had attended a meeting out of the office that day and I had on my "power clothes" ) This morning I weighed and I was a pound lower than last week, so that is what I'm going to count. If I get any more bright ideas, somebody please stop me!!

Here's to a good week this week for us all! The GOLD awaits us!!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

I did finally weigh in and I am only 1 lb. away from my new 30 lb. clippie.

I just need to stay on track this week and I can hopefully make it by next Monday. Sunday would be even better because that would be an awsome birthday present to give myself for my 40th birthday! It is bad enough acknowledging that number, but if I can say I have lost 30 lbs., there will be a bright side!

I just wanted to say, God bless, best wishes, and encouragement to everyone, you can do it, RaySharpton[/COLOR]
