50+ Clippie Club

[TigH]

I'm clapping for all you guys too! I know I'm not a member of this club, but I keep peeking in here to see who's around! Hee hee! You've all done a FANTASTIC job, I am so impressed!!!!!! There's no stopping you at all!

Elise, if you do try SBD, will you post about your experience? My brother just started Atkins and he's lost 7 pounds so far (in a week) but yesterday he slipped and had breaded fried clams and about 8 ounces of regular Coke. He was pretty upset about it last night, although we kept telling him what's done is done. I wonder if SBD might be easier for him. Thanks and good luck if you do make the switch!

I feel the LOVE guys the scale gods are smiling on me FINALLY all that clapping must be working only thing is i need a TICK more .5 lb to be exact! Could you guys do ONE more round and see if that'll do me? I'll be extra good to day and see if that helps me too. Kathy and Gettey i just know you guys are gonna crack the 50lb mark anyday and i'm clapping extra hard for you and YES kathy i believe we could count that as exercise.LOL Right now i count breathing as an exercise.LOL I am so excited the scales are moving all week NOTHING then this clapping and BOOM .
Elise as for you my dear i wish i could offer advice but i know nothing about either of those plans. I admire your strength for doing atkins i really do i just don't know how you guys do it! But i'm proud it's definetly been working for you. We have about the same about to loss so it'll be nice to be in a club with you till GOAL.

TigH: You continue to inspire and encourage us and it means so much to have your support. You are an awesome wish friend girl. I hope i look half as great as you when i'm all done!

Look at all these LOSERS!!! Y'all are my HUGE INSPIRATION!!! I am so GLAD you came up with this thread Elise- it's just what I needed to motivate myself to grab that 50 pound clippie before our Disney trip on 9/23!! It would BE AWESOME if I could grab it before we go- I weigh in on the day our flight leaves!

Elise- you're looking AWESOME and I love that picture of you sweet boy!!!

Tammy- What can I say??? You're AWESOME and going to see that 75 pound clippie SOON!! I just feel it!!!

Geetey- OH MY- LOOK AT YOU .5 pounds away from the 50 pound clippie- and a walking fool!!! I feel like the toilet paper that sometimes gets stuck to your foot leaving a bathroom- you don't notice me there but you just can't get rid of me!!

Kathy- WOW! Look at how far you've come!! You're proof that those clippies do change with hard work and determination- and you really look like you're at goal!!

Becka- come on up!! We can hit that 50 pounder together!! And yes an ADORABLE picture of your sweet munchkin!!! You're doing GREAT- it took me looking at my "baby" who turned 4 this year and saying- this pregnancy weight has got to GO!!! You're so far ahead of me!!

Okay- here goes I'm at 194 and I need to loose 8 pounds before 9/23- that's a month away- I think I can do it. I'm walking 4 miles for 4 days in a row then taking a break for one day then repeating. I'm still slimfasting and trying to make my snacks and meal low carb. I'll probably be relying on this thread to see me though our 11th anniversary next week, a family reunion the following week, my 36th birthday the next week- ugh will one piece of decadent chocolate cake mess up my 8 pound goal??? UGH!

Here we go guys- once I hit that 50 pound clippie- only 40 some odd pounds to go!!

Count it Kathy! Count it!! I won't know if the clapping helped until tomorrow morning.... Do you think you can keep clapping until then? Thanks!

Wow, Elise! You just keep dropping the pounds! Good for you!! The exercise is really helping those new clippie appearances in your siggy. And Tammy!!! Did you really need the clapping?? Dang, girl! You are whooshing again!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!! You have got your program down pat and you are workin' it! I love it!!!

Tara - you are NOT a piece of toilet paper on my shoes! I feel you behind me, pushing me forward! I gotta keep up the pace and carve out our paths to Goal!! I hope all of this walking is going to pay off! I start weight training on Tuesday, so I NEED this .5 before I hit the wall I keep hearing lifting weights will bring. It's time to start some serious toning!

 

[elisebutt]

Thanks for the comments Tara - won't be long before you're up here with us!!!

Hi guys! I am back, (insert sad face here) We had a blast, even if it did rain on our parade every day. We got to meet Katholyn! She is sure looking good! And a sweetie to boot!

I did gain a touch, but can still retain the 50 pound clippie. NOW, it is time to get motivated and back to work. I want to do that Marathon, and I can see that I need a lot of work to do that! (I can barely keep up to Mary Liz and Nancy when they walk. And I don't think it is entirely because of my short legs! )

Anyhooooo. I've got to start to get my house back together from the painter today, and then...off to bed early. My oldest visits the College for orientation tomorrow. Give me strength. Sometimes that boy can be a pain!!

Here comes fun, don't you think??

 

[PartyofSix]

The whoosh fairy made it from TN!!!!!!!!!! OMG i finally got my new clippee after almost THREE weeks of being sooooo very close and then a while i just was at a stand still i did it. Man this is GREAT. Elise, Gettey, we all got to change our clippee's in the last week. Now let's see would'nt that fairy be heading toward Texas now? Wonder how long that'll take it took TWO days to get here from TN. I think the Whoosh fairy is WONDERFUL but i also think i maybe be taking the bus Kathy so just be patience. I'm so happy this morning i'm just beaming. Would somebody please slap me!!!!

 

[elisebutt]

Ooooh - Doesn't the new clippie look good!!!! Well done!!

I'll be trying to catch you up you know!!!! Only another 2 to get the 60lber

 

[PartyofSix]

You WILL do it Elise. I struggled hard to get this sucker. You are getting sooooooo close to a new clippee to I'm just amazed how wonderful you are doing on Atkins. I sure admire that i am so weak to do a diet like that. Have a great day and think thin!!!!

 

[Debbie]

Tammy, that new clippie is gorgeous! Congratulations! You are a true inspiration for those of us in the hunt!

 

[PartyofSix]

All of you in this "club" are so special and are amazing too me. I think YOU are the inspiration to me. Those here that are WANTING more weight off will share this with me very soon. I don't know honest how much MORE i want to loose. I know it's some where in the 15-25lb range either way I'm creeping the word creeping is key here.LOL Up on GOAL and that's one i KNOW we will all share no matter what our clippees say now with lbs we all have come so far together i know we'll ALL make it to that beautiful RED clippe. But honestly i don't think i'll be giving up my blue one even when i get the red one is that allowed?

 

[KathyTX]

Tammy, I think that blue clippie of yours is the most GORGEOUS thing I've ever seen!!!

Okay, I'm doing everything I can to make the WHOOSH fairy welcome here... thanks for nudging her in this direction! (Water. I need more water...)

 

[geetey]

Dang!! Just went I thought I was over my clippie envy, out appears a NEW color to drool over!!! Tammy, that thing is GORgeous!!! It is amazing to me that something so small and pretty can stand for such a HUGE accomplishment! Wear it with pride, Girl, with pride!!

Kathy,
I bribed the whoosh fairy with a purple tootsie pop. I guess I should have given her my red one.

Sorry about that. I will start clapping for you and (Heaven help me) I will dedicate my next visit to the elliptical runner to you (God help my thighs).

 

[elisebutt]

Wahey - you may have caught my other thread - I just dropped 5lbs in 4 days - Don't know how or why but I don't care!!!!

Someone up there is smiling on me!!! Everything is going so great at the minute I can't help but wonder when the bad stuff is going to start

 

[geetey]

WOWsers!!! That's awesome news, Elise! My goodness, you are just flying towards that blue clippie!! Do you have a final goal number, Elise?

Tammy, have fun at the beach!

Kathy - did you WHOOSH today?!?!

 

[Debbie]

Hi Guys! I think that I am close to being back in the swing. I have carefully logged my foods on Fitday , AND I have done the WATP 4 Mile tape today. I'm feeling good, and I want to stay that "weigh". I've lost the fluid from my Disney trip, and I'm ready to attack Operation Trick or Treat (hoping for 15 pounds).

Oh, and we're ALL gonna get that beautiful blue clippie. I can feel it in my bones!

 

[elisebutt]

Yeay!! Another member for the biggest losers club going!!!!
Well done Debbie!!!

Be a big dash now to grab that big blue one!!!

 

[elisebutt]

Hey Guys!!! Where are you all??? I've only been off for a few days and we're way down on the second page.

I need to hear your news!!

I haven't weighed in this week - just haven't had time, getting ready for college etc, plus i'm feeling bloated so putting it off until saturday - lol.

Got a phone call from a researcher on a make-over show I applied to be on so by next Friday I'll know if i'm going to be on T.V. - yeay!!! Pity it's Channel 4 so you guys in the US won't be able to catch it. Dying to do it as i really could do with a new look!!

 

[PartyofSix]

Elise we have missed you too. Life sometimes gets in the way of our fun does'nt it. That sounds so exciting for you a make over WOW>! That would be so cool. I love to watch those shows. I have a friend in the uk i bet she'd tape it for me. Look at you and your beautiful 60lb clippee you are smokin girl!!! For myself i was 1lb away from a new clippee BEFORE i went on a eating spree during my vacation! Now i'm fighting to get that weight back down so there's my not so great report. If you been away check out out TRICK OR TREAT challenge if you wanna join in pm me with you desired loss by halloween and join in on the fun. Every friday i'll start a new thread to post your weeks loss toward your goal when you weight in for the week so we can all cheer each other on. Have a wonderful day and good luck with the new school program.
