I have waited a long time for this!! I'm finally over the half way hump to goal!! The last 15 or 20 pounds have been quite a fight!! I lost 2 pounds in the past week and that's great BUT I've been hitting the exercise and staying completely on plan with the proper foods. I'm not sure what else there is to tweak!! Maybe some different foods. My body is probably too accustomed to the same things over and over. I'd really like to get into the 180's in the next 2 weeks and it's going to take much more effort, I am sure! Sure do miss those induction losses but every pound gets us closer to goal!!

Re: More than half way to GOAL!!!
Thank you, ladies!! I appreciate your kind words!!!
Now, if only the last half would come off as cooperatively as the first half. What the heck? I don't have anything else to do!! It hasn't happened as quickly as I'd like but I'll take it!!Comment

Re: More than half way to GOAL!!!
I just broke through the 80's to 179. Now that you are on the 'down side' don't be discouraged if your loss slows. I now fight for every pound, but keep in mind that each pound will now be a bigger percentage of 'you.' You are on a good roll with your exercise and I know you will be showing off goalie status in no time flat!Comment

Re: More than half way to GOAL!!!
I'm hoping it doesn't slow too much!! I've fought for every pound for quite awhile now! Building muscle with the cardio and weightlifting has certainly added muscle mass (read:heavy)!! However, had I not lifted weights and exercised I wouldn't be wearing a size 14 at nearly 200 lbs. It's a trade off I guess but I wouldn't have it any other way. You're right about every pound now being a bigger percentage of "me." Yep, that's gonna be a tough one to accept!!Originally posted by momtomany1 View PostComment

Re: More than half way to GOAL!!!
Thank YOU, Jimmie!! Your challenges have helped me get here...no question!! When I started, I thought there was no way I could lose my goal of 70ish pounds. I know now that I can!!
Now, I am almost off to Mom's to exercise and avoid her lasagna while still appearing to be social with the carb loaders!! Thanks again!Comment

Re: More than half way to GOAL!!!
Blah, Blah, Blah.... Another celebration post at 196. Didn't we just celebrate like 3 pounds ago. How about really accomplishing something before we start a new post. Pathetic.... No dancing bananas for you. What's next, a party post for every even number you hit? I guess someone needs a hug.
Just kidding! You know what my mission is tonight. I can't believe you are leaving me in the dust, I thought we were in this together. 193? I need some more mich ultras and cardio to keep up. Keep going, I need someone to chase.

Yes, I know what your mission is! I'm not leaving you in the dust...you'll whoosh and I'll stall...that's our way!! If Mich Ultras and cardio really WORK, let me know! The one Mich I tried was rather disastrous!! I'll keep after the goal so you'll have someone to chase!! NEENERNEENER to you too!
