Lisa's Weightloss Journal (comments welcomed!)

hey lisa, i totally understand about getting started about your boys. not that i have kids, but i'm like that with my little cousins, and even my "baby" brother, who just turned 17 !

and man, plateaus can be so frustrating! but you are doing a great job of staying positive through it. because it is only temporary. that scale will be moving down down down again before you know it! you know you are treating your body right, it will respond

have a great day today

Plateaus stink. I'm proud of you for keeping on program. It is easy to slide off program when not seeing results. You have great resolve. Keep up the good work, and you'll see some results soon.

Hi Lisa!

I see things are busy with you as usual. I do like your positive attitude about your plateau. I haven't hit one yet but I'm sure I'll be deep in an emotional funk when it does happen. You though have got it together girl! I'm sorry your DVD never did turn up. How frustrating! I'm sure this stall is temporary and you'll have a nice whoosh very very soon. Do you measure yourself? I try to but it's a pain. I'm sure it would help though to know you are losing SOMETHING even if it is inches.

Take care my friend and have a good evening!

Wow, you guys are a breath of fresh air after a long day. Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I'm going to weigh in on Friday, not my usual day, just to see where I'm at. I still have yet to get that darn measuring tape. I did put on a pair of shorts I bought last July right before I started Atkins and I absolutely swim in them. They're so huge I don't think I can wear them in public for fear they'll fall down to my ankles!

I haven't visited your journals since Sunday or Monday and I promise I will tomorrow. I'm not in the mood to post menus but I've been a good girl, promise! Goodnight all!

great news about the shorts and keep fighting the good fight

Hi! I haven't been here since you first discovered your Pilates DVD was missing. I am glad to read your journal. You always seem in good spirits. Your boys sound like terrific kids.

Your scale will catch up with your body and your mind soon. Stay with it. I was just thinking this morning, as my own scale did not cooperate, how much healthier I am this time around. I am having more trouble losing weight this time than ever before, but it's okay. It's a lifestyle change, and I am convinced that it will stay off permanently this time. Slow and steady progress over a longer period of time. Works for me.


Have a great day. Congratulations on your superior efforts!

 

[marsh0013]

lisa, congrats on those shorts. noticing things like that usually helps me to feel better about the scale not moving. hope it did the same for you.

have a great day

Lisa, if you're swimming in those shorts now, just imagine the NEW shorts you'll need by your next Disney trip!! Hang in there - that silly old scale WILL cooperate or we'll send Erin out to kick it for you!! That used to be her specialty, as I recall!

Good job staying on plan!

 

[Castillo Mom]

I'm still alive girls! It's been a very hectic week and tomorrow won't be an less so. I have a kiddie party I'm helping my cousin with plus early morning grocery shopping tomorrow. I've been staying on plan though. I'm still at the same weight but I haven't gained, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm so sorry I haven't gotten to anyone else's journals, I really miss you guys. I'm going to try to check in on Monday. Tomorrow will be too crazy and I'll be gone all day. Take care all and be good!

 

[R_Judy]

Certainly all that running counts as exercize for today

 

[lulu201]

Good Monday morning, to you, Lisa. Congratulations on those shorts, girlie! Just think how far you've come in the last six months!

Did you get weighed in this morning? I didn't. I just couldn't face the scale after my awful behavior this weekend. I sounds like you, on the other hand, while busy and running, were able to be strong and stay with the program. Good for you, Lisa!

I hope you have a good week. Don't worry about visiting all our journals--you can only do what you can.

Take care, Lisa.

Erin

Have a good Monday.

hey lisa, just wanted to stop by and say hello

glad you're sticking to your food plan even though you've been busy. keep it up!

have a great day

 

[Castillo Mom]

Good morning! I have a big smile on my face right now after reading all of your posts.

I wanted to take a minute to post that I finally broke that plateau. I lost 1 lb, so I'm down to 180. So 1 more pound to go to get that 45 lb clippe that's been so elusive these last 2 weeks!

Thanks to all of you who post to my journal. I was able to get over the hurdle due to all of your support and encouragement.

Gotta go for now but I'll be back this afternnoon at lunch to start catching up on journals. Later!

 

[Strings]

WooHoo! Buh-Bye Plateau. Don't come back. You'll get that clippie in no time. I'm really impressed at the way that you are able to stick to program during plateaus.

Lisa,

Thanks for posting in my journal. I just read through some of yours and it looks like we started out around the same place too. Congrats on breaking through that plateau - you'll be in 12 in no time now. I went and tried on some of my shorts I bought new last summer before I started trying to lose weight - they were 18's and they are huge now, and not just in the waist but also in the thighs. Isn't it wonderful to try something on and see how far you've come. I hope you have another great week of losses.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

and a day for when you check in

 

[marsh0013]

congrats on breaking through that plateau!!! that can be such a tough thing, but you stuck it out and pushed on through. great job, keep it up

 

[LAinSEA]

Plateaus are awful! Congrats of breaking through and an almost 45 clippie!

That's so great about your shorts - is it shorts weather down there? We are still a couple of weeks away from our trip with my folks and the nieces to Disneyland and I'm so hoping for some warm weather. (Even mid 60's would seem like summer to us.)
