I’m not dead. I’m still working on the last 15-lbs (although it sorta slipped to 19 over the last week of gorging myself on Chicago’s horribly tempting orgy of restaurants and delicacies). I started working out two weeks ago but travel has screwed up my agenda (okay, so that’s really just an excuse cause the hotel DID have an exercise room…).
Other than that… not much more to say.    Sadly.

I can’t believe it’s been *10 days* since I last posted!  However, I’m happy to report that I’ve lost 3lbs since then.  It’s not huge, but it’s a start in the right direction again.  We’ve had a lot of meals on the run in the past week, but things have settled down for the time being, and I hope our mealtimes will also.

So, P2G:  37 [-3] 

I decided that the best way for me to do this again is to create a menu for myself for 7 days that I can stick with. I’m really horrible about sticking to “someone else’s” plan, making modifications to it because I don’t like this, or don’t like that. I also have a hard time figuring out from day to day what I should have, and since I don’t like thinking about food for too long, I just say “to hell with it” and eat whatever. Usually it’s not horrible, but it’s also not as good as it could be.

Over the next several days, I’m going to build a menu for myself based on everything I’ve learned. I’m going to create a grocery list I’m familiar with, and get myself into a meal routine. Things that I know work for me and give me energy - nutrients I know I need to have for balance.

Just an quick update, I weighed in on Sunday and I have lost another 2.5lbs! :bananadance:

Jenny Craig seems to be working for me! I love the food, and it is so easy! I am on my weigh!!! :winking:

Not starting over, but starting again.

The summer, she has not been good to me. Too much ice cream. And not the low-fat kind.

I lost 15 or so pounds between February and the end of May. Since then, I’ve yo-yoed a little with a couple of pounds, but for the most part, I’ve kept it off. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that I haven’t lost anymore, I’ve been ditching my WW meetings, and I haven’t been exercising because it is too damn hot (or at least that’s my excuse).

So, here I am. Back to offer and get some support.

Also? I started the Core Plan for WW this week. I’ll be offering my take on that as soon as I get a chance to see how the scale looks as a result.

Pounds lost: about 15
Pounds2Go: about 20

Some months I make more progress than others, but overall I’ve lost a total of 67 lbs. I’m 4 lbs from being able to say I have less than 100 lbs to go until goal.

I’ve moved from a size 30 to a size 20. And last night I was finally able to fit into my size 20 levi jeans I’ve had tucked in a drawer since the beginning of 2004. They are the smallest pair of jeans (and my favoritest) from when I lost weight on Nutrisystem back in the late summer and Fall of 2003. I was almost able to move down to the next size when my dad died in January 2004 and I started an eating binge that lasted through my last pregnancy and clear up until January of this year when I finally flipped the switch inside me that said enough is enough.

Yes, I know I have been MIA for quite a while. It seems I lost and found the same 4 pounds over and over again. I gave up, started over, gave up again, started over again….well you know the drill.

July 1st I started with new resolve now that I’m going to a grandmother. I have lost 15 pounds and have finally found an eating plan I can stick with. It’s called Carb cycling and is based on the Zone diet. You eat 1250 calories a day but one day you have low carbs 60 grams and the alternating day you have high carbs 140 grams.

This girl loves her carbs so it’s a match made in heaven so far.

Just wanted you to know…..She’s back! Watch my dust!
