Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Hey everyone!!

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted on here. Hanging in there, losses are slow but still happening. I get impatient sometimes but it is gonna happen as it is gonna happen

Never tried the Coke Zero so I can't comment on that--Diet Rite (made with splenda and caffeine free) makes a cola flavor that is pretty good and I also like the white grape flavor. I try not to have more than a few per week. Don't notice any issues with it.

My challenge jeans are looking a little better. I also scored a pair of Gap "Long and Lean" jeans this weekend at Goodwill. They are a freakin' size 12 and I can actually zip and button them (albeit with a bit of a muffin top and a slight camel toe) but I find that buying clothes a little too small is a great motivator. I have either donated or sold on eBay all my stuff bigger than a 14. When I think that this time last year I was squeezing myself into an 18W it makes me .

DH's big family reunion this weekend in Podunk, Texas...always a good time with the inlaws and outlaws. After that, we will go hang at the lake with some friends. I am making some low carb cole slaw and will just have to eat smart--there is always plenty of grilled meats (brisket, chicken, sausage), deviled eggs and assorted veggies. Will just have to ask someone to body check me if I go near the dessert table .

Well, take care everyone

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Everyone is doing great! I am still averaging 6 pounds a month but since I have stepped up the exercise I expect those inches to be shifting even if my losses slow a little bit. The challenge Pants go up a little bit higher but my thighs are still in the way!!!!! On the plus side my upper body, butt and lower legs have really slimmed a lot so my body is gonna have to give up some thigh soon

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

W00t glad folks are keepin on with the challenge. I am still stalled out. Thinking of going back to induction at this point, but i so do not want to. The fact that i do not want to makes me think maybe i should for sure drop back.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Hi everyone,its been about 2 weeks since I posted I'm down 8 lbs total since my last post.But I must confess I had to go back to Induction which I started on the 22nd and the reason why is because I craved nothing but fried food if I get a salad it had to be chicken strip salad I just got out of control so Im back on track now.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Checking in & haven't made much progress. Kinda frightened to try on those pants. Hoping for a miracle over the next month!

Hey everyone!!

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!!

The family reunion went well and the low carb cole slaw was a hit!! I did great except for a 2 inch square of "Aunt Sue's" brownies and a couple of chunks of watermelon. Also, had a few Michelob Ultras out at the lake but drank a ton of water (it was HOT) and we did quite a bit of walking.

Went to Central Market yesterday and finally remembered to look for Fage yogurt and tried it today. Yummy with some sliced strawberries and a little squirt of DaVinci vanilla syrup. Really different (much thicker and richer) than the Dannon kind I have been buying and very filling--I only ate half of the 7 oz. container and was satisfied.

A friend at work brought me some yellow squash from her garden and I sauteed them tonight with some olive oil and butter and sprinkled them with Canadian Steak Seasoning. So good!!

I forgot to weigh myself before leaving Sunday morning but I wore some denim shorts that I had not fit into since 2006 so that was nice. I would like to lose a few more pounds before the end of the challenge.

Glad everyone is hanging in there!!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

The end of this challenge used to seem so far away, and now it's right there, breathing down our necks!!!!!!

That's it! I'm exercising tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Tell me about it! The only part of me shrinking right now is my butt and upper body so of course I STILL can't get the goal pants past my thighs! *sighs*

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Like an idiot I decided to try on my challenge pants. No changes~~~still don't fit~~~still can't button them up. I'm discouraged & frustrated about the situation. GRRRRRRR
I don't think I'll get into them within the time frame~~~feel like giving up. Just giving up the challenge not this WOL.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I can't get into mine either. I've lost weight....and inches....but not in the right place!!
However, nothing ventured, nothing gained....so I'll keep plugging along.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I can't wait to see everybody's ending pics for this challenge! You are all so motivating! Even if the clothes don't zip up, at least we will be able to see a big difference from where you all were in spring. Its exciting to me! =D
