ls_dreamer's Progress

[ls_dreamer]

Hi!

Well today was my 4 week weigh/measure in! I got up this morning and got on the scale. I was worried and I'm not really sure why as I have seen improvement in how my clothes fit...I lost 13.2 pounds! WOW!

I am feeling great and this is wonderful to know it is working do well! Many days I have all of the food I am allowed so I was worried if eating all my crackers would slow me down but NO! I am loving this life change!!!!!!

Thank you all for the inspiration!

I have to say tonight was great! I went to a 4th of July BBQ and stayed 100% on plan!

I have a VERY supportive family and boyfriend which made it easy! One of the women who brought the burgers even made all the hamburgers 4oz because I mentioned that is about my portion and she bought extra lean meat. I had bought a ground Buffalo steak and already weighed it exactly but the thought she put into it touched me!

I also received a lot of compliments which are hard to take when you are still heavier than when most of the people met you....but overall I am proud that my progress was noticeable and welcomed!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and 1PD approved 4th of July!

Way to go!!!! You've done an amazing job! It's so nice to here that you have such a supportive group of people around you. It can make all the difference some times. And for your friend to make all the burgers smaller was such a generous thing for her to do. Keep it up!

Nice work Is!
I am on a 4th weekend with friends and felt totally impowered that I brought my own food and stuck to it. Isn't it funny to be scared of the scale when you have been staying on plan???? It is good to take care of yourself and your body is responding! Just think how great you'll look on labor day! Keep it up.

Cynthia and Monkeyface -

Thank you! It was a great celebration!

It is crazy that we are afraid of the scale but that will likely not change. LOL. Man I am very much looking forward to Labor Day!!!!

Keep it up!

[ls_dreamer]

I have my 8 week weigh in tomorrow....eek!

I have been on plan and can tell I have lost but I still get nervous. I am also leaving tomorrow to go to my 10 year high school reunion. I am super excited and a little nervous too. I am looking much better but not like I did in high school. I'll update you all tomorrow!!!

[monkeyface]

Hey IS...
I know it is all going to work out as long as you've stayed on the plan...the inches are amazing to me...I asked my consultant about my belly fat...which is where I keep it all...and they said the oldest fat goes last :) That kind of makes me laugh...and they're right...everything is going down but not that yet...I hope I don't end up looking like a meat ball on a few tooth picks! :) :) ;)
Enjoy your progress

[ls_dreamer]

It was good thanks monkeyface! I have lost 10 more pounds and that resulted in 3 more inches off my belly!!!!!!

I am wearing the jeans I wore 2 years ago when I met my boyfriend! We are both very happy about that! I am also currently at my 10 year class reunion....eek!!! But seeing old friends is great!! Heres to continued success for us all!

[monkeyface]

GREAT JOB IS!
It is so exciting to grow back into one's closet :) Doesn't cost anything either!
You go girl! Keep up the great work!
I am getting tired of apples...need some new fruit ideas!

[ls_dreamer]

Thank you monkeyface!

I am loving nectarines at the moment!!! Perfect to follow dinner makes me feel like I'm having a treat! Also, this weekend I tried grilled peaches YUMMY!

I also make "fruit salad" I cut up three different allowed friuts and each one portion at a time...also I LOVE honeydew with a little salt on it!

Keep up the great work!

[Cynthia]

YUM! Grilled peaches! I am sooo going to try that :o) Did you do it on the bbq or oven?

[ls_dreamer]

I tried BBQ cause I was making my OH so favorite buffalo burgers! I got the idea from the recipe thread and then a friend of mine (the most supportive one) said she loves them so I couldn't resist!

[ls_dreamer]

I am not scheduled for a weigh in for 1 more week, but I have had a really rough week and this morning I counld not resist and man am I glad!

I've lost 32 pounds on the diet and 8 pounds during my 11 prep days for a total of 40 pounds! I AM SHOCKED and excited!

I can see the amazing change when I'm in clothes...naked is another story, but that will com in time!

Ok just had to let out my excitement on here I hold it in at work....don't want to be snotty!

[JenJ]

Yay! Congratulations! :) 40 pounds is a huge milestone!

[ls_dreamer]

OK! Well I have my 16 week weigh-in and I am in a small decline but I am still happy! I lost 7 pounds in the last 4 weeks. I also went to the store today and a size 6 jean fit!!!!! WOW! I am in a size 6 I can not believe it! I have 19 pounds to go until the goal I was given and I think I can actually do it!!!! YIPEE!

I am going on a trip with my boyfriend in a couple of weeks and I am so excited to look cute!

This is the best change I've ever made in my life!!!!

Thank you all for support!

[Cynthia]

Wow! Only 19 more pounds.... You're almost done! Woo-hoo! My weight loss has started to really slow down too, but that's bound to happen. At this point every pound is a victory, haha! Have a wonderful trip :o)

[ls_dreamer]

Yes only 19 more sounds pretty amazing to me!!!!:party1:

Thanks for all the support! Keep it up we'll both be there in NO time!

[monkeyface]
