When I weighed in yesterday, I was right on the brink of being 214 pounds. Remember when I went to Vegas I had gained four pounds, but lost two by the last weigh in?? So today is good news for me. I weighed myself this morning, as I do every morning, and I'm officially back to 214. So while yesterday I was only at a ONE pound loss, today I'm at TWO. Yee Haw! LOL
I have to admit that I have not exercised since I've been home, but I have just cut down the amount of calories I took in: 1200. It's been kind of hard. It's amazing what kind of willpower I have when I really want to do something. I tried to do the cold turkey route with the sodas, but I can't. What I have been able to do though is limit myself to one can per day. I drink half in the late morning/early afternoon and the other half at night. The rest of the day is all water.
I have been pretty hungry cutting down. With thyroid disease, I have to or I won't lose any weight. My metabolism is pretty much non-existent. It's funny, I've always gotten full relatively fast since my thyroid problems started, but even more so now. I figure I could probably really be losing more than this if I started exercising again. Now I just gotta stop being lazy! LOL
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you with all your support and encouragement. It's helping more than you know (especially when I hear about the weight loss because it makes me determined to lose as much, too).

This does help doesn't it. When I get on the scale on Monday I want it to be a loss. I don't want to report a gain. It keeps me good all week. Congrats on the weight loss. Keep up the good work.
Keep up the good work!! I think this is working for more than just you or me! It's helping lots of us!!
Good Job on the loss! I am with you on the exercising. It's so hard to get the motivation! If you figure out how to get motivation let me know.
First off CONGRATULATIONS on your loss!!! Keep it up! I had a gain this week, but my body fat and BMI went down (Last week I had a big loss) so, I'm chalking it up to muscle gain. I'm with you, in that I still hate to have to report a gain REGARDLESS of why :-)
That is so awesome!!! Congratulations on the loss - even without exercising?!
Incredible. Good for you girl. And I agree - this meme is an incredible motivation tool for me as well!
woo hoo ! one pound is good! and I think 1200 calories is a great goal too. I count every calorie that I stuff in my mouth and when I keep my goal, I loose, so I know you will keep loosing as well! I love this meme !
