Successes!

[freddyboy]

I'd like to start a thread where we share our successes after the dreaded weigh in.

Whatever you want to share is fine. Meeting goals, losing more weight than you expected ...or not gaining as much as you thought over Thanksgiving ha ha.

To get the ball rolling, here's my first success:

Regardless of the Thanksgiving weekend, when I did not behave as weight-friendly as I could, I still managed to lose one pound last week and brought myself to the 15 pounds-lost milestone!

I feel great! Who else has been successful in their efforts?

I have lost 40lbs over the last year and managed to keep it off. I go up and down about 10 lbs though and I really would like to lose another 20 but I am feeling pretty good in general about myself and getting back in control of my life. I never knew how to eat healthy before, or about portion sizes. I have learned a tone and was a real eye opener. I feel like I am setting up the rest of my life now for success instead of burying myself under more and more weight.

Great job! You must feel incredibly proud of yourself!

I'm still at the very start of my own journey, but I'm proud of my 2 pounds last week. One day I'll be able to post something similar of my own!

I lost two pounds last week and one the week before and I'm proud of the steady weight loss.

Total lost = 26 pounds

Total left to lose = 46 pounds

Good work!

I lost 1.5 pounds last week. I hope I'll be saying that I lost 26 pounds soon!

My diet had plateaued, so I did a detox cleanse over last weekend and I'm right back to my usual weekly weight loss rate again. Just thought I'd share that in case it helps others succeed, too!

Great idea about the de-tox. It gets rid of all the crud in your system so that your body can be more efficient again.

That'd probably be a good idea after the holidays, since we all know we'll have slipped in one way or another. The de-tox'll get us on track again!

I feel that I've had a personal success because I finally managed to eat a holiday dinner without completely stuffing my face.

I had a reasonable portion of everything, and I know that I blew my calorie budget, but I didn't eat until I was ready to explode, and now I'm ready to go back to my regular diet again so that I can continue my weight loss!

I need to brag: I didn't lose over the xmas holidays, but I didn't gain! First time ever!

Great work! I gained a pound, but I still consider that a holiday victory compared to previous years.

I'm just pretending the holidays didn't happen and am starting fresh so I don't have to live with the guilt lol
