At the rate you are going, you will need to have those rings resized down before long!! You are doing great. REALLY great. Congrats on your weight loss. You just keep inspiring me everyday.

Thanks everyone. I'm so sorry I haven't been able to visit journals. Work is still nuts, life is nuts, I can't wait for this weekend - we are going camping and I need the relaxation. Went and set up the camper tonight so we had a spot. Wish I could have stayed there until Monday!!!!!

Once I get this week out of the way things will slow down a bit and I WILL be able to catch up.

Here's what I had today:

breakfast apple crisp fruit and oatmeal bar
fat free yogurt

lunch ham sandwich
3 pickle slices

snack 2 cup cantaloupe

dinner 3 pieces pizza

snack 1/2 cup fat free frozen yogurt
2 TBSP fat free cool whip

Totals: 1327.5 calories, 38 fat grams, 203.1 carbs

Pretty good day today. I'm still waiting and feeling for that 25 pounder this week!!!! Got one more day in the month and I'm sure I can hit that tomorrow - I hope anyway

Talked to my dad tonight and he said he was ready for Florida - bought some new outfits and clothes for our trip. I told him I'm gonna need new clothes too but by the time I really need them I won't be able to find them and he said - "Have you been losing weight" and I said, yes I have. And he went on to say that he thought I looked like I had been losing. I told him I'm so close to 25 pounds and I want 25 more off by our trip. He said great - I think he was a little jealous when I told him what my cholesterol was (his is over 200 and he's on meds for his). Anyway, we laughed about the clothes issue.

Okay - figured out my snack now I have to go eat it because I'm hungry. I'll talk to you guys again soon, probably tomorrow because I'm gonna weigh tomorrow. Have a good sleep tonight everyone!!!!

Keep on
Chris

I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!!!!!!! I hit 26 pounds off today so I claimed my new clippie and only 4 pounds till I'm a gold member!!!!!!!

I'm so happy and so excited all at once!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone so far for your support, your encouragement, and your cheers. Thanks for letting me vent when I needed to. I can't believe it's been two months (7 weeks since I really started punching at this) and I've gotten this much off. I really expected I wouldn't do it until Thanksgiving and that's what I set my first 25 pound goal at. Now I'm on to the next 25 pounds by Thanksgiving and I know I can accomplish that with all your help.

Thanks again for everything YOU have helped me accomplish. Words can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you.

AND you all can AND WILL reach your goals. It's hard but we ARE in this together!!!!!!!!

HUGS to you all!
Chris

Quick check in for tonight. Thanks to everyone!!!!

A new month is dawning and I feel new challenges - I can't wait to overcome them. I tugged on my pants today when I was standing talking to someone and right now in my legs I can probably fit two legs in each pantleg. It just feels weird!!!! And my butt is sagging in all of my pants - again weird. I am now not sure what size I wear but I'm going to order some new pants, because the ones I get are on sale right now for $6 a pair (www.lanebryantcatalog.com) so I'm going to go for a size smaller than I think I wear now so that they last me awhile. DD's gotta get new school pants too - good thing this was a nice check!!!!!

Did okay eating today - here's what I had:

breakfast apple crisp fruit and oatmeal bar
fat free yogurt

lunch 2 pieces pizza
1 cup cantaloupe
1 cup watermelon
cheese stick

snack 100 cal snack - wheat thins

dinner ham steak
1 cup corn
1/2 cup long grain and wild rice
2 cup salad
2 TBSP dressing

snack 2 fig newtons

Totals: 1439 cals, 42.9 fat grams, 221.9 carbs. Ate a bit too many fats but that's okay. Also had a handful of peanuts when I got home but didn't count those - probably about 5 fat grams and who knows what cals and carbs. But, as the nutritionist says it's good fat grams.

Everyone have a good rest of the evening.
Keep on
Chris

 

[lovinaz]

You guys deserve those new clothes! Have fun shopping!!!

 

[Mykelogan]

[Cruise04]

Hello everyone - sorry again for not having been here but we went camping this weekend. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Weather could have been a tad cooler during the day but it was still gorgeous. Best sleep I've had in months with sleeping with the nice cool air.

Eating wasn't great but I lost .5 pounds while we were gone which I was surprised. Not adding anything up but here's a brief of what I ate:

Friday dinner - subway oven roasted chicken sandwich

Saturday - breakfast - granola bar; lunch - 3/4 quarter of ham sandwich with 2 pickle slices, 1/4 cup potato salad; snack - Ritz 100 calorie snack pack; dinner - fried chicken (breast only) without skin, 1/4 cup baked apples, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, 1 1/2 cup baked beans, 1/2 bun with 1 pat of Promise spread; snack - 2 smores with small amount of chocolate (total of 4 marshmallows); snack throughout the day - peanut m&m's that I got at WalMart and are for breast cancer research - pink M&M's!!!

Sunday - breakfast - 2 pieces toast with 1 TBSP peanut butter, fat free lemon yogurt; lunch - 1 cheese sausage no bun, 1/4 cup onions, peppers sauted in 1 tsp olive oil and non-stick olive oil spray, 1/2 cup potato salad, 1 cup romaine lettuce with celery and carrots and 2 TBSP regular ranch dressing, 2 cups mixed fruit - watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, 1 medium ear of corn with 1 TBSP brummel and brown; snack - 1/4 cup M&M's peanut and plain; dinner - 1 smoked sausage no bun; snack 4 roasted marshmallows

Monday - breakfast - 1 granola bar; lunch - 1 cheese filled sausage no bun, 1 medium ear of corn with 1 TBSP brummel and brown, 1/2 cup potato salad

As you can see there were really no boundaries this weekend. If I was full, I quit eating. If I was hungry I snacked but watched it. With the M&M's on Saturday I ate about a total of 1/4 of a cup but just didn't measure. And these aren't accurate measurements but close.

I was out of shorts because I needed to do laundry so I put on these pair of blue shorts that have Winnie the Pooh and Piglet on them and I haven't worn them for almost 7 years. They are an XL (not a 2X or a 3X but an actual XL size)!!!!! I was so shocked. I figured they'd be tight in the tummy some but they fit just right.

Hope everyone had a great day. Off to go get a few groceries and the order some pants!!!!! I'm going to make an attempt to get to journals tonight.

Keep on
Chris

 

[Mykelogan]

Hi Chris!

Glad to hear you had a great weekend! Congrats on your loss too and on fitting in those shorts, it must feel awesome!!
Wow, the pink M&Ms sound cool and because they are for breast cancer research I am sure they are calorie free!!

Have a happy & healthy day!
Mike

 

[lovinaz]

Wow, you really did great while camping! That's usually when I completely lose control. YAY for the shorts fitting! Just think of all of your old clothes you can probably fit into now!

You are such an inspiration, keep it up!
