I lost more weight!!

[Janet]

As of this morning, 2 more lbs are gone. Now at 224. I know I should only weigh once a week instead of boring you all every couple days, but I need to make sure the lbs are going down and not up. I want this so bad.... my first goal is to break 200 lbs. Then I'll set another.

Congratulations, Janet!!!!!!!!! Time for a celebration!!!!!!

Thanks Marilyn.

I'm not quite sure what I may be doing wrong. I haven't changed my eating habits since cutting back on everything. I felt great at first and no hunger pains at all. For the last couple of days...I've felt hungry ALOT! I'm still eating good healthy meals, no less than when I first started, but I'm tired of being hungry after a couple of days. NO I'm not going to overeat, but I need this feeling to go away.

After typing this, I think I may know a little why, I don't think I've been drinking as much water the last couple of days. I'm going to increase my water to at least 6 bottles a day and see if that helps. I was drinking 6 or 7 bottles a day, but realized I haven't been drinking that much for the past 2 or 3 days.

Way to go Janet!
It sounds like you're doing a wonderful job!
I'm so glad for you and proud of you. I know it's not easy, but you're on the right track, and that's great!

[Janet]

Thanks Tink! I want to lose this weight soooo bad, but man it's so hard. I want to go and eat all my favorites...which is chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate.

I'm still stuck at 224 lbs, have been here since the 3rd. Hopefully it will start coming off again...drat...I want this so bad. I still haven't gotten on the treadmill yet. Guess I need to start burning more calories. I just don't like exercisng that well. I'd rather work hard at manual labor than exercise. Guess I'll try to start on the treadmill this weekend after the Indy Winter Classic Dog Show.

Maybe walking all over at the dog show will help push me over this little plateau.

Janet, it doesn't take but 20 - 30 minutes a day or even every other day on the treadmill to start to make a difference. Then you build up and can do more. It may be just what you need to get off you plateau. Those plateaus can be killers on the willpower. Please keep it up. You're on the right track to a healther, longer living you!!!!

We need to figure out a way to attach a laptop to a treadmill!!!!
