Simba, that's fantastic that you lost two pounds! Now you have to repeat exactly what you did and lose another two pounds and so on and so on. Before you know it, you'll be in the 160's.

Raymh... how many times do you sit down with a book and eat snacks with it? IF you are suggesting to cut back to once a week, I'm assuming that it's a lot! In that case, YES drop it down to once a week! Just think of all the calories that you'll be saving with all that mindless eating!
Wow. I haven't read a book in years! I just don't have the time. But, I suppose if I really loved it, I would find the time. lol

I forgot to weigh myself today. Yesterday I was 140.0 and had to rush out the door to a late morning party two hours drive away!
Judging by my track record, I'm going to guess that I'm hovering around 140.0 lbs.

Okay. Today is Sunday... lots of chores and lots of homework help.
Tomorrow I start again! I'm going to watch what I'm eating tomorrow. I have to work on my spare tire.. I can feel it getting bigger and bigger. And it will get bigger if I don't smarten up.

@sshy-- yes i do it a lot, so want to cut down at once a week only

@simba-- congratulations dear, u will do it

3 june-- 87.5 kg still :(

June 3: 140.0 lbs

@Raymh: Yes. Cut down to once a week and you'll save a lot of calories! I'll bet that the weight starts to just melt off of you. DO IT.

@Simba: i hope you have a successful week.

140.5
Up 0.5 lb. Strange. I was outside enjoying the spring weather ... but it was breezy ... after all those rains! I was catching up on yard work as it's neverending. Pruning trees, pulling weeds, pulling mushrooms and cutting the grass! Yes... pulling mushrooms... there were so many throughout my yard. I guess it's because of all the dampness.
Anyways... I was out the whole day and only came in for two breaks. Yet, I gained 0.5 lbs! lol

So that's why the weight gain... it's TOM for me.
This is not going to be a good one.... I'm so bloated, have cramps and am so emotional / cranky.
It's funny how some months are so different than others.

170 lbs for me today! Got a chance to take a long walk yesterday after 2 days of no exercise. Went to the Y this morning with family.

I was the same way last month Shy...so cranky. I didn't know why...then TOM appeared.

Raymh, I love to read daily as well, but I do most of my snacking when watching TV or while on the computer. Now that it is warm out I've been snacking on lots of fruit. I hope your plan is working out!

@simba-- that is really gr8, congrates

@shy-- take care dear, u don't sound very good

7 june-- 88.1 kg

OMG!!!!
I've had the hardest time getting onto this site. Even today... but somehow it worked now!

Long story short.... my weight today is 141.0 lbs.

@Simba; Fantastic! That's excellent news. It looks like you're the only one who is going to reach the goals I gave all of us.
I'll bet we hear that you are in the 160's in no time!

@Raymh; Put the book down.... stop eating the snacks. I know that you haven't yet gone down to once a week for your pleasure reading, right???
You need to do it. Cold turkey. You will start to see a dramatic drop in your weight..... trust me.
I hope you are continuing with your eating plan. That was really working for you!

It's still not connecting fast for me. I have to go on the site and leave for a while... when I come back, it's there!

June 11: 141.0 lbs
I spent my whole day out in the spitting rain pulling weeds and making my planters. The poor plants have been sitting and waiting for two weeks! At least that's done!
I have to catch up on laundry and do some ironing today! I also have some plants that need to get into the ground.... I think I'll do a little bit of everything.

141.0 lbs
I spent the entire day doing errands. DD1 is graduating from Grade 8 and I've been trying to get the last minute things ready! There are also the last school concert, the last school choir (tomorrow) and the year end trip.... in less than a week. During this time they have to finish outstanding work (thank goodness she doesn't have any) and finish performances for teachers.
It's a crazy busy time of the year and this year is double crazy because I have two kids in this school and one is graduating!

How are things going?

@Simba: I hope you're in the 160's now!
@Raymh: Where are you? I was getting used to you posting everyday :(

Things are crazy here as well. The kids are out of school for the summer. And my youngest daughter's birthday party was on Sunday. There is cake in the house and I'm trying to control myself as birthday cake is one of my weaknesses! lol Weighed in this morning at 171.6 lbs.

I decided to try juicing since so many people talk about the health benefits. Started yesterday...my goal today is to eat only one meal and the rest of day will be juicing, protein drinks and a piece of cake. Hopefully I will lose some weight!

I'm having such a hard time getting onto this site quickly.... I have to look into it.

Anyways... I went away for a couple of days to the states for some shopping and a family get together. DD1 was doing some shopping for her grad and getting a few things for her year end trip tomorrow.
She's finally packed and has gone to sleep. I have to get her to her school by 6am... the bus leaves at 6;30am

It's been a frantic rush this evening taking her all around a few stores to do yet more shopping! Boy this trip is proving to be expensive but, hey... you only graduate and leave Grade 8 once. Most of the kids at this school come from all over my town and surrounding area and they are all dispersing to the various high schools around town. This is the last time they will all be together. :(

With all the rushing around and all the drama taking place around my house, I forgot to weigh myself this morning... can you believe it?
I've been hovering around the 141.0 mark and I'm sure I've gained a couple of pounds from the weekend. lol

@Simba: Happy birthday to your daughter! I believe that we are allowed to have cake if it's our birthday and if it's a close loved one... that's my philosophy anyways.
I think you are doing fine with your weight loss. You are not gaining anymore and you seem to be maintaining it. Now you have to convince your body to let go of some of that water/fat it's holding onto. Then you'll see the weight taking a downward plunge.

It looks like you're on the right track.
I've also heard of the health benefits of juicing but have never tried it. Yet, I have a fantastic (and expensive) machine that's supposed to be the end-all of juicing machines. Maybe I'll give it a try based on your experience with it first!

@Raymh: Where are you? We miss you and your comments! I hope everything is okay with your daughter and husband.
Just remember we're here for you and we would never judge you.... we would try to help and guide you in the path.

I'm glad you popped in to let us know what's going on.... I was getting worried.

June 19: 140.0 lbs
I'm maintaining at this weight.
For the last two to three weeks, I have been 141.0 and went up slightly during the last two weekends.
I'm glad to see that I'm back to the 140.0 mark.

June 20
140.0 lbs
Yeah... I'm happy considering that I had a breaded chicken cutlet on a hamburger bun with french fries for dinner last night!
.... I know..... I'm playing with fire!
My body seems to like this number and wants to stay here.
