You are making some headway, Karen! Good for you! But remember that you are not required to clean your plate at those luncheons!! :wink:
I lost 1.4 pounds this week!! I think that it's helped that I've had a couple of great projects to work on in the sewing room, and I NEVER eat while I'm down there! Always water....never food!
I splurged at lunch with friends today, but will get back to what has been working tomorrow, and will try to get in an extra lap or two at the mall. I sure am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get back outside for my walks!

I'm down another pound and feeling so much better with the activity I'm getting at the fitness center. I'm thinking about getting a digital scale. Mine is hard to read with aging eyes. -
Only 1/2 pound loss for me this week.
I really can't complain though since I still didn't exercise. I am having trouble with that obviously!Comment

Well, considering that I was out of state all week, tempted by disgustingly rich meals and desserts; a net gain/loss of 0# is pretty good for me. Really tried to be good, but it is tempting to cheat.
I keep telling myself that eating all that stuff is cheating myself of a longer life with my husband and sons. So far it is helping.
God Bless you all on our continued journey!Comment

There's something that I keep reminding myself when I'm tempted.
It's: NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN FEELS!
Keep up the good work everyone! It helps to encourage eachother, don't you think?

Still using my stationary bike. I rode 45 minutes yesterday! Go me!Comment

I am down 12 from the beginning of the year (lost ~2 this past week). Got one workout in this week, so I am improving. Lots going on, so I am too distracted to worry much about eating..... so that helps. Still sticking to lots of raw veggies, hummus, nuts, fruit and small portions of meat.
I am traveling this coming week, so I will carry my snacks with me and hopefully I can stay on track.
Have a good week, All!

I'm still in Georgia and don't have a scale so don't know weight. Clothes are not looser so suppose that is enough to tell the story of weight. :cry:
But, I have been doing a 'radical' job of monitoring my glucose for the last 3 weeks, since receiving news that my diabetes was a mess! And I have it under control, and am committed to keeping it there. Glucose strips are not cheap, but neither is a stroke! :roll:
I'll be heading home to Houston in about 4 weeks, where the scale and my gym will once again wave at me when I pass them! :roll:
I'm still on board...with the healthy part - just not weight loss. I'm with you MK on the veggies and hummus! Baby carrots and hummus dip - a winner!

Lynn, there are a lot of ways to increase your activity level that don't involve going to the gym.
For myself, I seem to do more and better working out at the gym.
I don't know if I will keep up the pace when my son goes back to work(He is my gym partner) but I hope that I have started to see more of benefit in the mirror before that happens. :lol:Comment

After riding my stationary bike for 45 minutes last Saturday I was so proud of myself...till the next day when my knee was so sore I could barely walk! Kept it wrapped for a couple of days. Gonna give the bike a break for a few days and then not push myself.Comment

Sherry, try warming up your knee before you ride the bike. A heating pad for about 10 minutes will probably be plenty. Then after you ride, wrap an ice pack around it for 20 minutes. That should help a lot with the pain!
I do this for my shins when I increase my walking time, and it really works!

Thanx Margo. I'll give that a try. I'm using the bike cuz it seems "low-impact". Guess it mostly depends on me!
