Anyone Losing Weight?

[judy]

It is rare that my weight on my scale is the same as on the doctor's scale. Even weight loss is different. I only go by one scale (mine). Even if it is off, weight loss is going to be right.

Why are Glen and Dae Lynn changing the scale? Take it in your room, and tell them to buy their own scale! Tell them Judy said!

I'm so far off the diet wagon that I can barely see it in the distance. lol I guess at the moment I just don't want it bad enough or it would be happening. I do think that once I get my "happy" back it will be much easier. I'm so thrilled for all of you that are accomplishing weight loss, no matter how big or small.

I've lost 6 pounds and I'm happy with that. I have 14 more to go and they won't be easy, but for some reason I am motivated.

Janet, you'll get there. You just have so much going on right now but knowing you.....once you set your mind to something you get it done!!

Gayle.....6 pounds!!!! Woo Hoo!!! That's great!!!

I went to the doctor this morning but I was still only down 3 pounds. Oh well.....I'll take it!!! My scale shows a little more than that but I do weigh first thing in the morning with my clothes off so that could be a couple of pounds difference.

I talked the doctor out of adding meds and changing things for a while. I really think that this diet is going to help in all of the other areas.

BTW.....I found out that I have "fatty" liver and a fatty cyst on my kidneys. Neither are things to worry much about as long as I lose weight.

Judy.....I may put a sign on my scales---"You'll have to deal with Judy if you adjust these scales again!!!!"

I'm glad to hear that things are OK, and getting better. Don't worry about what the doc's scales say, just go by your scales!

I "saved" calories today and we went to Schlotzsky's sandwich shop tonight for dinner. I had a smoked turkey sandwich and 1/2 bag of black peppered potato chips. YUM!

Gayle, I missed that you lost 6 pounds! Congrats!!!

Diana, you should put that sign up. They won't know what you're talking about, and we can have a good laugh!

Jessie was also told she has a fatty liver when she had that biopsy. She had to lose weight. Then she got MS, and forgot all about her liver. They tested her head to foot, so I guess it was okay.

I haven't lost more than a pound for the last 3 weeks. Then, I realized that I had upped the number of bars I eat by 2/day! I meant to up them by 1/day. I also have been eating 1/2 jar of peanut butter every night. So, now I am back to the right amount of bars, and have been having the peanut butter as my protein for dinner, and then veggies later. I don't think a plate of pb and broccoli would be tasty! I still want to go down a few more pounds from the 131.5 I weigh. I need a buffer zone for when I go onto maintenance.

I have lost 4 lbs in the past couple of weeks. I don't know how!

Did you really mean you've been eating a HALF A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER EVERY NIGHT! YIKES!!! That's a lot of peanut butter and a lot of calories!!!
