Wonderful news again...congrats on all of your success!!!!

3lbs down this week :nanner:. Next week I should be at my new goal weight (145lbs) but no matter what I will be starting Transition which is where I start adding foods back in and upping my calories until I get to kind of where my body needs to be calorie wise and then I am in maintenance where the plan is to keep it off the rest of my life!

Pretty soon you shall blow away in the wind! Another good week yay!!! What an excellent program, but wouldn't be without your strength and determination. :) :)

Okay....I lost only 1lb this week...I honestly was hoping to loose 2lbs to put me down to 145lbs. But I AM at 146lbs (114lbs lost :dance:) and I am starting week 1 of Transition. I am TERRIFIED! I get to add in 2 servings of whatever vegetable I choose and I will do that for a week then next week I add in fruit.

I am SO stinking scared to start this new part of my journey on this program. I am scared to see the scale go up even a smidge and I am pretty sure it will somewhat while my body readjusts over the next weeks/months and I figure out what is a good daily calorie intake for me.

I still plan on doing updates if that is okay with you guys, you are all my cheering squad and have helped me SO much during this long journey.

Wow...I don't know how I missed your most recent post! Congrats on your additional loss. You will do wonderfully in this next phase!

Hey Justine... old thread, I know. I was just curious as to how you were doing!

I thought it was a new thread :) til I saw 17 pages.... Way to go Justine! I packed on about 30 pounds last year due to depression and various ills that kept me unable to walk (not to mention all the slippery clay I've fallen on). Don't have a scale but probably near 150 and I'm 5'4". As it warms up now I'm starting to get into the frame of mind to lose those pounds. Just when I've fallen in love with my Panasonic bread bakery. Its the second time in my life that I've gone over the limits of my own healthy feeling weight. Its easier to see the habits and triggers and appreciate how good it feels really, just to be at a healthy weight. Best wishes for everyone on this journey.

Hey guys :). Well to be completely honest I slid back a bit. Okay more than a bit...I probably put on about 40lbs of what I lost. I know exactly what happened and how I got derailed. I am struggling with a bad bout of depression right now and food is my unhealthy way of coping. I was doing great (actually got down to 138lbs and stayed there for a while) but then I had surgery and got back up to 145-148lbs so I started running and lost weight and put on muscle. I ended up having my wisdom teeth pulled in November (RIGHT before Thanksgiving...shoot me now for that!) and THAT is what started the back sliding. Then the holidays came, my pup got sick with cancer and I lost him and it has been a down hill slide from there.

I am struggling to get back on track and go back on 5 & 1 to get this weight off and start fresh over again. It is MUCH harder the second time around and I have been ashamed at the weight I put back on. But I want to be honest with you ladies :).

So I plan on in the next day or two getting back on the wagon so to speak. I am learning I have actual food issues beyond what I originally thought, it is a good thing I am seeing them now though :). I want to be at a more comfy weight by the time kidding season starts so I better get cracking!
