Topic : Maximizing Weight Loss Through the Tough Times

HI BEVERLY - So nice to see you on the board.......do you think that we would ever forget you, the one who has been such an inspiration to us all.   I too wish that this will be the best year of your life and each one gets better.   You were so close to your goal........how are things going?  Please keep coming back as we have missed you. 

 

Hugs, Shirley 

   I do hope that this year the will get earier for you. You have done well so give yourself a big hug. Way to go. 

   Now me, I have been doing a little two step here. Up 2-4 pounds then down again but never a pound lower than my resting spot. I am doing a lot of walking but I just seem to be maintaining. Either I am at my get real weight or I am back to my old habit of not eating enough. At any rate I am still out here trying. In my mind I still have to drop 20 pounds. 

   Last year was a real waste of time for me. Too many states of depression with 3 deaths in one family and a couple of close friends passing on. 

   I am proud of the fact that I stayed with my walking or I could have had a huge gain. I am back down to bussiness now and will pay close attention to my food intake. 

   Hopefully 2006 will be the year for all of us. 

  

                                                                                Take care.     Beverly

TERESA 

   Thank you for the warm welcome back. And a big WELCOME back to you as well. 

   It is so good of you all to return with the boat so that some of us way ward people can jump back in. 

   I have done my walk and am ready for breakfast. Now I have to pull out the food quide to make sure I am eating as I should. For the past while I have been having one slice of multi grain toast dry with coffee. I know this is not a good thing, I guess I just get lazy. 

   At any rate I am ready to get real and hope to shed a few more of these stuburn little suckers. 

   You have a great day.

A good morning to you all.  Just checking in an out..............................yeap need to get dressed and get some IE in today. Didn't get to it yesterday so I must get a tad in today........................... 

  

Truly is a journey figuring out what is best for each of us individually.   WE are all so unique with schedules, physical limitations, kids, no kids, pets, no pets, significant others or not............here we are back in the pack.  

  

Well this week I am going to attempt to tweak the IE plan to be more consistant.  I think I will work on a minimum and maximum.......you know a schedule for if I don't have much time or a maximum effort day or two. We'll see how that goes. Okay I'm off today is the minimum day. Leslie Sansone 1 mile and some stretches. 

  

Good to see you all have a great day. 

  

hugs 

chilly 

BEVO - Glad to hear that you had a nice holiday.   Haven't had fish and chips since I have started on the Dr. Phil board, which is 1 year ago today......makes my mouth water.........the memories are still with me.   

 

Nice to have you back.  I am sure your 2.2 lbs. will be off before you know it.   

 

Have a nice day. 

 

Hugs, Shirley

I have been sick with cold/flu and so I have not been here too much the past several days. I am feeling better now, but still weak. No walks or IE for several days. Monday I will be going to Malibu to let Molly run on the beach and visit my friend Colleen. Was going to go on Sat. but was too sick. Molly (my puppy) loves running on the beach chasing the birds, running in and out of the waves after a ball. I wish I had half of her energy. I hope to read and catch up on th post ASAP, but right now even that hurts my head. This is what I get for taking care of sick g/c. Will be back on board Tues. night as I will spend the night at Colleens tomorrow and head home sometime on Tues. Stay safe and healthy. LOL Bev

   Thank you for keeping me company on my walk this morning. We did the 2 mile walk with LS. Sorry about not taking any pictures but I just didn't think you would want to look at a sink full of dishes here on the board. 

   I sure can't believe the winter that we are having. Since Oct. we haven't had a day over -12 and most are warmer than that. However I am wimping out and doing all my walking indoors.  

   I am taking leave today so I can try to get some more done in the basement. This job is just like taking weight off (an on going project). Gosh I sure hope it doesn't take as long. Oh well just look at the extra IE that I am getting, up & down those stairs at least 15 times a day. 

   Esmay it is just too funny that you mentioned helping me. When I was struggling with those mattresses I did think to myself that if anyone is with me here "grab a hold & help balance it while I get it out the door. Well it worked all of a sudden it was out the door. And here I thought I had done it by myself. I guess we really are more help to each other than meets the eye. 

   I have a string of cords down stairs so that I can get an earlier start down there today. Waiting for natural light really limits my time. O.K. I am out of here and ready to work my butt off again today.
