My first week weighin!

[mouseissue]

I worked Labor Day for my boss.  She sets up a cargo wago and sells her famous home-made ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) along with Black Angus burgers/chips/sodas, etc.  I had to help her do this and I was exposed to all these goodies.  I never ate any except a hamburger pattie and a diet Coke all day long.  LOL  However, I have gained back 4 pounds because I have eaten some small amounts of bread/pasta products over the past two weeks.  I know how to fix this, so I'm back on the FTS again.  I know I can do it.  I'd like to lose another 10 pounds.  I think I can, I think I can!!

Hi Cathie!

Kudos to you for staying strong yesterday!

Isn't it interesting how we can't pull a fast one on our bodies?
And although you may have gained back a few pounds, you and I know they will come off!
As far as losing another 10 pounds... I KNOW you can!!!... I KNOW you can!!!

LOL    That is the good thing about FTS!!  You know it will come off in no time once you keep those sugars away.  I'm proud of you mom for leaving all those goodies alone!!  Great job!!     I know it would be hard for me to be around all that homemade ice cream...LOL

  you will do fine

Thanks for tne encouragement everyone!  That home-made ice cream is a killer for a lot of people.  I'm around it all the time!  I've even learned not to "lick" the dipper.  HA HA!  Not that I'd do that anyway, but maybe my fingers.  The burgers I can have, just not the buns.  That helps.  I weigh on Sunday, we'll see how I'm doing.  Over at the nursing home where my husband lives, the CNA thought I was his daughter!  Now I know I'm getting skinny!  LOL

Hi Cathie!

That's pretty cool!

Sadly, no one's ever mistaken me for my wife's son.
Maybe it's because I'm 10 years older than her.

  had to walk away from my homemade ice cream!Even though its low carb I couldn't stay out of it. You know ,a bite here,a bite there, a bowl for dessert!

Hi y'all!  I went to the doctor yesterday for the results from my bloodwork.  Here's the lowdown:
  since March my....
 Total cholesterol went from 300 to 239
 LDLs went from 221 to 169
  Non-HDL-C (don't know what this is but dr was happy)  went from 244 to 181
 My Triglycerides are 66 (don't know what they were previously)
 My blood sugar went from 104 to 88
 My A1C went from 5.1 to 4.4
 My weight went from 208 to 179 (their scale runs higher than mine, but still equals to the same loss).

Thank you to all of you for helping this to happen!!  My cholesterol is still high, but I'm not even to half way yet so I have no doubt I can get it down further!

Sunday weighin day!  Lost just over 1/2# this week. I'm happy with it since TOM is visiting! I've hit my next goal - 30#s gone!!    My next one is a quick one - half way to my goal weight (which is 32.8#s).  Then on to 40#s!  I'm super psyched!
