So another weird brain moment happened between me and the scale today. I decided to see what was up, since I have only lost a pound in the last month, and figured I had probably gained as my eating habits were less than desireable. So I step on the scale, and was down 5 pounds, and actually got worried!! I am 6 pounds below goal weight, and it freaked me out that I am still loosing. My brain had decided that once I got to my personal goal weight, I would magically stop loosing. Now that I have recovered, I am amazed and awwed at this loss. Has anyone else experienced this? Pre 267 Current 144 -6 below goal!!!

Carol, Unfortunately I will not be able to make it this weekend. Between the house, the weather, and the holiday, I can't come. I am still planning to come next weekend to your party, let me know details. I will miss you all, and hopfully can start coming again next month. I really need the support! And I think we all need pics taken! I still can't find the cord for my camera and havent updated my pic in forever.

Dont be afraid or overwhelmed.... now you star****ching the scale and learning your caloric balance for wherever you decide to be. How tall are you? Are you underweight? My body brought me to 120 pounds..... I am WAY below my goal. You wont wither away I promise. :)

Linda, No not anywhere near underweight. I am 5ft 5.5 inches, and should weigh between 118 and 148 to have a "normal" BMI. I am just shocked that the weight continues to come off. I am never going to be skinny, I understand that. I have just never weighed this little my whole adult life, and my brain just can't wrap itself around it. If I look as good as you do when I stop loosing, I will be over the moon. Thanks for the reassurance!

Hi Nicole....I am below Dr. Glass' goal for me of 140-145. I am at 136 pounds and still losing a little at a time. I don't mind losing ten more pounds but I hope it stops there. I can't wait to see you again...hope it is soon. I am sure you look wonderful!! Hugs....connie d

Thanks Connie, I can't wait to see you again too. I am so glad that even though your life is so stressful and crazy right now that you are still able to find time to come here, it is so nice to read the posts about your progress and words of wisdom for others.

Congrats on the weight loss -- particularly with all the stress you've had lately. How about a new avatar -- I miss seeing your beautiful face!!! I think it was Linda A who went to the over 1 year board and got lots of info on what happens further out. What I learned from her (my beautiful inspiration!!!) was the body will do what it's going to do....just follow the plan to stay healthy and enjoy the new me. Goals are goals -- and it is territory we've not been at so we don't know what the journey is supposed to be. So GF -- get ready to enjoy the summer with the new and improved you!!!! XXOO

Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~
