Ginger, just because you aren't losing doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong, or even if you gain a bit. Our weight can fluctuate for many, many reasons (mine soars when I eat salt), so don't ever think you did anything wrong just because you aren't seeing any losses for awhile. As long as you stick to your plan, eventually you will see the losses. Not everyone has the humongous losses, either. Some of us lose slowly, painfully slowly.

And look to other markers, too. Are your clothes fitting looser? Are you feeling better, more energy? Are your cravings subsiding? All wonderful things! Weight loss is just one factor, health is an even more important one.

I know you really want to be a lot thinner for that wedding. And you might be able to wear a much smaller size without a lot of weight loss. It's happened to some of us. So, don't despair! You'll get there eventually.

Ginger- glad the scale is being more cooperative. if you make yourself space out those weighins consistently, you have a better chance of a friendly reading than if you get on every day (or umpteen times a day--i KNOW how this works. LOL!).

hang in there...you're doing fine.

Ginger, Summer is just uneventfully rolling along, just the way I like it. We had no spring so there was no gradual transition to Summer. With the forcast heat for next week, I am already planning series of "cold kitchen" l/c meals. I hope you get your remodeling done in time for your house guests.

Thanks Henry, we are hoping to... two weeks to go, this weekend will be a tough one..lol.. I don't like to work to hard on the weekends ya know....

Well the garbage man got the scale before DH got it picked out of the garbage so just using the new one... not seeing to much movement and really sticking to the plan, might not be eating enough however-- seems like I am not very hungery these days... forcing myself to eat a couple times a day just to keep the metb. moving.. it is very hot and very humid these days so you just don't feel like doing much of anything when you get off of work.... Happy Thursday everyone...

Happy Monday all, hope that everyone had a great weekend.. it was beautiful here this weekend, the humidity decided to leave just for the weekend.. it was heaven....Lots of sunshine and the temps were in the 80's and the humidity you didn't even notice...
We got a lot done around the house which was great.
Down another 2 pounds this morning... I am so happy!!! Thanks to everyone's encouragement to keep me going.. Thanks!!!!

Ginger, glad the new scale is being more friendly. You really have to cultivate your relationship with those scales...

Thanks guys...
I am finding that the food just comes naturally, it really helps that we don't have anything in the house that we can't eat like chocolate etc.... I know I can have these so if I think that I want one I just think I will get ONE to snarf the next time I in the store, never go to the store hungry and you can always talk yourself out of that candy bar..lol.. yep it is a phyic thing...but what ever works........

I enjoy the Sara Lee Delightfuls bread.. and that is all that a person can ask for, gettting a slice of bread here and there...lol...

It is Thursday and the family is going to start showing up tomorrow about 5pm for the weekend we will have about 15 house guests for the weekend.... it will be a blast. Lots of laughs and giggles and great memories... Can't wait for everyone to get here. Went to the store tonight and got the house full of just healthy stuff, no chips or junk at all.. they all know that I am doing this so they will understand I am sure... I would really like to get another few pounds off before I have that first surgery on the 30, that one will bejust a minor one then they will make a plan on how they are going to fix the problem and remove the lumps in and around my stomach.. I hope that it all turns out ok and that the healing is a speedy one... Will have to stay in the hospital for 4-6 days with the second one.. the first one will be same day. Hope everyone has a great weekend.. happy carbing... g
