Hooray for Sept. Sleevers!

Hi everyone!!! Sorry I was MIA!! I had a crazy week and was actually out of town for a few days, faced a few challenges (alcohol, eating out, hotel, etc...) I have not been on the scale for a while but am feeling pretty good. I am happy I made some good choices about eating and when to stop eating. A pair of jeans I packed were actually falling down and loose, so that felt good. I am happier staying off the scale, so I'm going to try to keep doing that. Trying to get my water in and really listening to my body tell me when I'm hungry instead of going to eat for boredom, sadness, happiness, whateverness!!! I will weigh in on Monday and check in. So happy for you all and just that we're still here posting, checking in and feeling good. GO US!

:cheer2:

Hi there...well I lost 4 pounds last week. A pretty big loss for me and not typical so far. Finally doing better with food. I tried quite a few things this week and everything stayed down fine. I am starting to track calories/fat/carbs just to make sure I am not too out of whack. It is tough because I am eating 1/2 a scrambled egg and 3/4 of a piece of cheese-makes the calculations more time consuming. I don't think I will worry about it daily, but I do want to stay in tough with my consumption. I made an appointment with a personal trainer for this week so I am excited about that. I don't want to be a big flabby mess so hopefully he can help me out

I hit hit two milestones this week. Busted out of the 200s (woohoo) and I have officially lost 1/3 of my weight loss goal. Have a great week and keep losing!

Cherice

Whoo whoo! way to go Cherice!! 4 lbs is awesome and getting out of the 200s is even better!! Onderland Way to go

Happy Monday!!! I'm down about 3 lbs since the last time I weighed in. Yeah!!! Good job September Friends!!!

Hey everyone -- just checking in -- I ended my week at 247 with a big loss of 6.8 pounds -- don't know what I did differently, but I did something -- I probably won't lose next week

* Jordien -- great job on the 3 lbs!!

Ok, now where are our other Sept. weighers??

Labrys here...

Sorry for the delay. I was out of town with my sweetie who started radiation therapy for her breast cancer. She seems to be doing well and is handling this thing with remarkable grace.

As for me, there was no loss on Monday :hurt: I have been eating the right things so I think its just this old body is doing some adjustments. Anyway, the pounds are coming off.

Cherice that is soooo wonderful (onederful). :hail: All of you just doing great. I hope to post a loss this coming week. :funscale:

Thanks for being there ya'll and for all the encouragement. You are the BEST. :party4:

Labrys here....

Hooray! Finally and downward movement on the scale. I'm out of most of my clothes, and have been wearing some old smaller clothing. While I lose I shop only at Goodwill and Salvation Army. My sweetheart is losing also but I'm concerned that she is not getting enough nutrition.

I'm still working at getting all my liquids in. Most of the food I eat is Protein. I do have a weakness for crackers though.

I can't tell you all what an encouragement you all have been for me. I know this journey has some bumps in the road, but your encouragement and willingness to share makes the road a bit smoother. Thanks! :wub:

Hi everyone!! EVERYBODY is doing so great! I'm just going to give a simple shout to all of you because you deserve it! Congrats! Aren't we just the successful bunch??? Loving it!!

Keep the numbers coming, you all are really pushing me to work that much more! It's not easy keeping up with all you quick losers!!

Hey September Sleevers!!!!!!! I'm down 52 pounds since Sept 2 as of this morning. I'm so excited and happy about all the changes that have taken place in the last couple of months.

Hey all -- just checking in for Wed. (my weigh in day) -- not a great week -- I GAINED .4 pounds. I know, not a biggie, but still. I know that there is a reason behind it -- last Sunday, we (the family, dogs) went for a walk and it was so hot out that I had heat stroke -- so my body immediately held on to all the water it could - ugh -- gained 5 lbs. from that -- and then it was my time of the month -- so all in all, I guess the fact that I didn't gain more is pretty good. Anyhoo- - just wanted to keep everyone in the loop -- whaaaaa! :/

Don't worry Julie...you will lose it next week! Well, I am a little late, been sick in bed. I am down 1.5 pounds this week, which seems to be about normal for me.

Cherice

Nikkey, great job!!! You're breezin right through. Congrats, and glad to see you back!

Juliah, no big deal. It happens to me every month too. This is my week now, and I didn't even weigh this morning. I knew I'd just get annoyed. I'll check next Wednesday. You're doing amazing... hugs!!

cherice, feel better soon! Congrats on your loss this week.

Irene -- I LOVE how you decided not to get annoyed today awesome -- wish I had thought of that before I did the scale dance this morning (step on, step off, step on, step off)

Finally have a net loss of 1.2 pounds and it only took three and a half weeks to get there! NO inches lost yet The only size 20's I can fit into are stretch jeans but at least they aren't ballooning out around my hips and thighs.

My bra size is freaking unreal. I was wearing 46DDD and now a band size of 34 is too big because I have to use the innermost hooks and my cup size is still DD, what with all the folding and such. Try finding THAT in a store. Even have trouble on eBay where you can find anything!

I really thought I would lose more than 20 pounds after surgery and to achieve a normal BMI, I still have 100 pounds to go! I guess I can live with being a card carrying member of the slow losers club if I was sure it would eventually come off <sigh>
