Yes, it did seem quick, huh? Too bad there's NO way I will make the 10 lbs!

Ok, I'm taking the .5 loss today and have changed my sig. Honestly, can one, at my stage of this, actually lose 5 pounds in one week's time? I need a whoosh, a big one!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

I'm so sorry I haven't been on line all day

Oh Silly and Kitty - you've brought up the dreaded... the challenge will be over on the 18th. The funny thing is...I'm not so worried about if I make the 10 pounds. I've really been staying on track and I feel like my body can only lose as much as it is willing to lose. And it will lose ultimately (at least that's how I feel today... check my journal for different thoughts tomorrow...lol). What i'll regret most, is not having our little area to come to everyday and check in - now that's saddens me

Silly - hear this...you don't have 10 pounds to lose!!! I think if you make it to 148 or 149 by the end of the challenge you're doing incredible

Kitty - This time did go really quick - it flew by!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

silly & Cher - you've done great I think. Focus on what you've done - you're lighter and healthier than when this challenge started.

...so I'm 160ish today... the scale actually said 160, which was my goal for the 18th... but then. I woke up really hungry and decided to order hot wings from the pizza place...except when they're delivered, I realize they're breaded. And I was just so hungry that I ate them. I feel crappy now, but I'm just going to pick up where I left off and work out extra hard tomorrow. I'm really hoping to hit the 150s next week so I can book that facial and manicure (I've promised myself it'd be my reward.)

Someone from class is taking me out tomorrow to a movie and dinner. I hope that he won't pressure me to eat popcorn/order something carby. I'll just be insistent. Maybe just get a drink for the show, and a salad or a nice steak for dinner.

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Kitty - Congratulations on hitting 160
Isn't that a bummer when you order one thing and they send you something else. That should never count on the scale! Hopefully it won't hurt too much. Just keep going and don't look back! Drink lots of water too flush it.

P.S. Kitty... bring your own little LC legal snack into the theater and then you won't feel pressured to eat the popcorn. I'm not sure about your theaters, but they let us bring all sort of snacks in out here in Newport. I think they know the women are all on diets. They're really nice about that. You can also order a big water so that you have something to drink while you're there.

My tummy is really bloated and I'm getting ready for that TOM , that'll be a pleasant addition to weigh in for the 18th...lol. Will the Goddess of weight let me lose one more pound during TOM? Can I drop into the 160's? I could try a very strict induction for the next week, but, should I? OK... I'm determined... Why not...

Strategy
Drink more water
Shoot for the 4 pounds in 7 days
Strict induction for 7 days (NO STARVING - food every 4 hours)
No diet cokes
Walk 2 miles every day ( don't take Cookie - she'll die)

I'm committed till the end!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Cher, why go back to complete induction? Are you sure you want to do that. I'm thinking maybe just back to rung one, so at least any extra carbs will come from veggies. I am so with you.....water water water next week (provided I don't have Jury Duty)!

[SweetCher]

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

That's probably a good idea Silly. The veggies never hurt me! Oh how fun "Jury duty" ... lol. When do you find out... when you call in on Monday morning?

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Hello all--

So sorry it has been so long since I have checked in. Did the Boston trip, got a terrible phoen call Friday morning. One of my sister's in laws, whom is a good friend of mine from high school; well, her husband committed suicide. Left my friend and her 3 children, ages 1,3,5 alone in this world. I am truly saddened for them, and just can not believe this.

So, all of that aside, I have lost the 4#'s that came back on my cheat, and 2 more. So, I am 6#'s down for the challenge. I doubt that I will lose 4 lbs in 7 days. But this challenge has been so fun. Cher, I too have considred do strict induction for the next 7 days. But I am so busy and sickened with my nerves( diarrhea and vomiting, no appetite) I don't know if I will. If I eat anything I will be doing good. I am so sick to my tummy.

Well, all will see -- Thanks so much for letting me vent.

I will aim for more water this week too, and excersis, it is always good for stress, I have cried so many tears, I think perhaps I have dehydrated myself.


Will also aim to check in everyday this last week . I need the extra support. Just one more pound and I am in the 180's......That is pathetic to be happy to be 180-=- but it will come, next 170, 160, and 150... I think I will stop as soon as I am any number below 150. I sont think I will ever see below 140's again. I havent since my son was born, and that was 9 years ago....

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

bjs - that is such sad news, I am so sorry! He must have been very troubled to leave a wife and three precious children here. I had a friend commit suicide a few years ago and none of us ever understood the reasons - it is so difficult to understand. He was an absolutely gorgeous guy that we all loved, but was obvious very troubled inside. I hope that you, your family and your sister-in-law have a lot of support right now - this is obviously a tough time. Please feel free to vent, you would not be human if you did not go through the grieving process. P.S. They say crying is good for the soul!

1 more pound and you will be in the 180's... WoW! YaY! Despite the nerves and all that has gone on...look at the progress you have sustained! You are a success!

[sillygirl]

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

hey bjs. I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Personally I can never imagine life being so horrid that therapy or something won't help, but to other people, I guess they can't seem to lift themselves out of it. No one can ever understand.

Please do check in every day! First, we missed you and also we're here to lend support!

Ugh Jury Duty! I had it postponed from 3 months ago and now it's back. I have a Dr note and all, but still need to schlepp myself down to another town, not in my area to plead excuse again if I get called! So far, not called for tomorrow, but it's a day to day thing. That's what sucks....your life is kinda on hold for an entire week! So everyone please keep fingers crossed that I won't get called in at all and my duty will be done, done, done!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

It is actually my sister.. Her inlaws. He was married to my sisters husbands cousin. There that is weird huh.. I should say my BIL's cousins husband.. Maybe that makes more sense. Actually nothing makes sense....

I have had diarrhea and vomiting all day. I havent ate a bite. I have had a diet coke. I ahve a sald in the fridge wating, I know it is important to eat, but why bother if it is jsut going to trigger vomiting and diarrhea. So, I am writing this off as a time to jsut avoid food for a day or so, until this passes..

Thanks for your kind words Cher.

My son took more pictures of me today, he wanted to , thought I looked liek I lost weight..LOL he is so sweet... I think I stilllook fat int hem, so I am going to wait til next week to take photos and post. I cant get hte to down size either, they are HUGE, I have them in photo bucket and they will not resize.

Oh well I will get some i feel better in for next week I hope.

I just hope that if anyone is ever so troubled to do this they would know to seek help. My hubby's best friend did this 10 years ago, after coming home from the GULF, he had a precious 6 mos old. It is so surreal. My love of children just has my heart broken for these kids. I graduated HS with this girla dn we wer so close went ot college together. we have snot seen each other much the past few years. She was jsut here withethe kids for my neice's b day party. We jstu catch up like we havent missed a day. But, I truly dont knwowhat to say to her. There jsut are no words to describe my sorrow.
