- although I didn't lose any weight, I had an extremely

productive month in July at work and my blood glucose levels were

good. So we can't have everything all the time!

Yes, Dec 4, 2002, I was 246. I stayed steady through Christmas but

was working out 2-3 days per week and lost 20lbs from then to June,

now 26lbs. I figure if I can repeat, then by Christmas this year

I'll be in the 100's. I try to keep the focus on small issues,

rather than a restrictive diet to lose lots quickly, like I've done

in the past. For example, when I eat breakfast often times I think

how good a biscuit would taste. Then I try to think what healthier

choices I could make to get better nutrition and less yuck. I don't

always make the healthiest choice, but I can see how I'm *beginning*

to develop aversions to the thoughts of eating very unhealthy.

Like before, I'd have no problem with eating a sausage biscuit for

breakfast, big mac combo for lunch, and several pieces of pizza for

supper, and maybe a king size reece's cup. Now while no single food

item is inherently " bad " , if I do choose a big mac, then I try to

eat extra healthy at supper, like a salad with low cal dressing, or

baked chicken with broccoli. And, I try not to make bad choices but

maybe a couple times a week. If I'm really wanting something that is

very less healthy, then I try to recount my last few days. If I've

eaten high fat, high carbs very often, I try to refrain and choose

something better. This is the way that slender people seem to live

successfully slender, and this is what I'm trying to attain.

such an inspiration... We all can lose but to incorporate a lifestyle and to

continue it on and on is what this is all about. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I acyually noticed yesterday when I put my work pants on, I can pull them

away from my stomach about 2 inches. My stomach seems a little flatter, too.

I don't feel bad, and that is the main thing!!!

I have absolutely no butt or hips, all my weight is in my stomach, so I

really notice when it seems slimmer.

> Okay, girls, today is the day.

Forgot that yesterday was a holiday for us, so I didn't have access

to my work computer.

Goal was 249...and I acheived it! Whoo!

Goal for Sept 1st is another 3lb - so I'm aiming for 246.

I'm so happy to have broken the 250lb mark.

Great work to everyone, whatever you weighed yesterday

I haven't lost a lot of weight, but I seem to be re-distributing a

little. I've lost some butt flab...but my clothes look weird because

I have this saggy thing happening in my butt/thigh area! Why couldn't

it go from my tummy first? I never really minded my butt (although it

is at the back so I don't have to look at it all the time so maybe

that is why it didn't bother me). But, I'd love to loose some tummy

and hip flab. Maybe I should start with the sit-ups?

Hi ,

I'm guilty. Would Friday's be better? LOL I can remember when I was

losing, I never weighed on Mondays. It was always on Friday.
