Good job all. Sorry to hear about the weakness, Scott.
I went right back to the gym after my week on the road and am feeling so good. I have been asked why I need to go to the gym regularly if my DS works so well. People don't understand that I need to build muscle mass and strengthen my bones. I do not do any cardio and am not going in order to lose or even maintain my weight loss. Lifting weights has given me back so much energy, strength and confidence. I am actually proud of how my arms look in sleeveless tops!
Hope this is taken for what it is -wanting to share my joy in finding something that is working for me after a time of feeling so tired and weak!

AWESOME!!!! Congrats on the weight loss this week as well.

Wish my arms looked as good.

Drum roll please. . .I finally broke the 5, yes 5 month stall I have been in. I have not seen a new low since March! Anyway,

Last week: 153.6
This week: 149.8
Loss of 3.8 pounds!

I have been on induction to hell for 7 days. It has been a challenge to give up the few carbs I allow myself. Obviously, I needed to give them up in order to get this weight going in the right direction again. Less than 5 pounds to goal! Chugga, chugga, I think I can.

Look at those guns! Nice

FANTASTIC!!!! I think you can too...and I expect you to be shouting when it happens.

Okay, so you rivaled me in length of stall, LOL.

Last week: 245
This week: 243

In my third week. Weight loss has slowed considerably. Still happy though, since I was expecting the 3rd week stall, and blood glucose is looking a-ok.

Congrats, newanatomy, on being so close to goal! All of you folks are inspiring.

Congrats!

And honestly you want it to slow down to a steady pace, otherwise your brain won't have time to keep up.

Well, it'll be my first time in Columbia, I dunno if they do a lot of low country stuff there. I was supposed to be at the beach next week and was very much looking forward to shrimp n grits and she crab soup, but we had to cancel because of the new job stuff

Columbia doesn't do oysters or shrimp and grits easily...it's not a coastal city and of all the places I've been, I ONLY go thru it now, not to it.

Yeah I have to be honest in that I was not a huge fan of Columbia....nothing against it, but it is no Charleston. Just not a lot of charm.....at least not the parts I was in.

My bad, thought you were going to Charleston not Columbia. SOrry the ocean trip got cut short...and LOL at you turning into a South Carolinian already with the "Going to the beach" comment. That was always the line from the locals when I lived in the upstate. It was never going to the coast, the ocean, Myrtle, Kiawah Islan or Hilton Head..... it was always going to the beach.

Wait a minute, you lived in the upstate? Where??? And did I already know this?

And yeah, where I grew up in BK, going to the beach meant 5-10 mins away, now it's a whole big trip. Didn't appreciate it until it was gone!
