Just to get it started. Red plan, no lites.
7/5, joined up. 253.6 lbs.
7/10, meal plan day. 251.4 lbs.
7/12, first official weigh in. 249.6 lbs. Total loss 4 lbs.
7/19, second official weigh in. 245.8 lbs. Total loss 7.8 lbs.
I had no (official) questions, and she had absolutely nothing to say about my food journal. (Because it's all there, no cheats.)
Now, just gotta do that 39 more times!

thanks Marg!
It's homemade soup. I made it last weekend, when I had a huge bag full of chopped up peppers for the salad I'd made for my dad's party. I also had a cauliflower and meant to make a cauliflower soup. Figured the peppers could be good in there, and then i threw a few carrots in too. So, it's cauliflower, peppers, a few baby carrots, chicken stock, and....that's it! Cook it up, then puree it.
I'm feeling FULL right now, but I think it's all the water, cuz I'm also hungry. :)

Hi Jess,
The soup sounds good -- all of a sudden it is winter weather again -- in the 30's today and going down to the teens -- BRR.
Hope you had a good Monday.

Thanks!!
Yep, blustery here too Marg! I think we're getting more snow on Wednesday, right?

I did spinning tonight, and it was a new instructor. She really kicked my heiny!! The Monday class is always harder than the Wednesday class, just because the intructor is a little less coddling than the Wednesday night woman. (A little less "if you need to back it down, it's okay" and a little more, "c'mon! get that heartrate up! work it!") This woman was insane. I even had that almost-puke feeling for a second (I don't recommend that, but I think it was just my water sloshing around in my belly). So, great workout. Had a nice dinner, now I'm drinking tons of water to keep it all moving. I don't want the water to settle in my legs.
The latest frog called--apparently, his company is moving him back to the midwest at the end of the month. He'd spent the weekend sulking about it, even though it's a good opportunity for him. My ego feels better, even though that doesn't change that he's leaving. So, we'll hang out til he leaves, and I'll keep meeting other frogs.
I'm a princess!

Wow, Jess I am just getting caught up on your journal.
Congrats on getting to your mini-goal which is HUGE IMHO. I mean, you are labeled Normal. That is just fantastic!
You inspire me to be a better healthier person and I only know you in cyber space. Your friends must think you totally rock!
What do the friends and family think of this new improved healthy Jess?
Too bad the frog prince is moving. Oh well, back to pond....

Still between 193-195
Thanks Mel and Julie!
It's funny, I've both inspired and annoyed my friends and family. I can break it down like this:
*Family that doesn't care about their weight could not compliment me more.
*Family that does care about their weight are blatantly jealous and compliment me with a sneer.
*My sis in law HAS said that I inspired her, but she talked trash about the LAWL program and said she could lose weight her own way. (Which she hasn't.)
*One friend was inspired enough to join LAWL, but she quit after 3 months of little success.
*Another friend never compliments me unless I MAKE her (by making comments about something I'm doing or a goal I reached or something), but she's also got her own weight issue and is jealous.
*Another friend said I was inspiring her to lose the post-wedding weight, since her own size 12's were getting tight and I was yahooing about getting into 10s (and I'm far taller than her).
So, that's about how it goes. My parents are great about it, my brother is very supportive, my friends are so-so, and my distant relatives are both supportive and jealous.
My coworkers are mostly complimentary and mostly not jealous (though some are). I get called "Skinny" at least once a day now, just walking through the halls. Guess it's my new nickname!
Anyway, anyway, anyway.
I was up to 185.0 yesterday, but back down to 184.0 this morning. Oh, how I wished I'd needed to do a #2, just so I could see that 183.8 again! Tomorrow, though. Tomorrow.
I'd thought about taking a break from the gym tonight since I'd gone Saturday, SUnday, and yesterday, but since it is gonna be snowy Wednesday, I shouldn't count on gym time and should do it tonight. So, there's that.
All is well, otherwise. Mr. Midwest Frog is still around for a few more weeks, and in the meantime, I'm sitting by the frog pond, selecting my next smooching partners!
Jess
WOW - Jess it is wierd how everyone reacts to someone succeeding.
Skinny is your new nickname....that is WONDERFUL
I will be happy with "pleasingly plump" right now--LOL

You know its such a shame that people are that way. And I swear that people are like that everywhere. This is what annoys me, its the people who tell you "wow, you look great, how much have you lost" when I wasn't dieting or eating healhty and had actually put on a couple pounds. UGh, and now when I've lost almost 20 lbs, NOTHING. Most people say nothing. I went to a family event last weekend and only one person commented on the fact that I had lost weight, and it was my grandfather. God love him, he'll tell you when you are doing good, and losing weight. He'll also tell you when you've gained and need to cut back and get healthy. I love his straight-forwardness!
Well, I am happy for you, not jealous, cause if I worked as hard as you, I'd be there too. I am just sure of it!
Too bad about your friends and there not being overly supportive. I had a great friend that moved to Texas last year and she was alittle chunky, not fat just needed to lose a few pounds, and we would go out and she would grab her size 8 juniors pants (she's about 5'3" and complain that she's a heffer. Just so I could tell her she's not fat. Annoying.
But she really is a great friend besides the self image issues.
Have fun "fishing".
