Thread: TUG Weight Loss Party: Fall/Holiday 2009

WOW!!! Theresa, your journey pictures are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! You not only lost a bunch of weight but also gained about 10 years in youth! You look fab! Congrats and thanks for the link. Katherine

Looking at the last month or so, I've pretty much achieved what I wanted- weight-wise. It has settled in +- a pound or so from 182. Mentally I'd like it better if it'd plateau'd under 179. That would have been a 40 lb drop in 6 months, but I can live with 36. I'll try and not fall too far back over the next couple weeks. Back on the wagon (and at the gym) after the new year. Jim Ricks

Down 1 lb this week at WW. Keeping my fingers crossed that I won't gain hardly anything during the holidays. Seasons Greetings to all - especially all of the Weight Loss Party members. Keep it up!!

Great going everyone. I had my hip surgery Dec 1. A week of hardly being able to eat provided a silver lining, 5 lbs lost since the surgery. And the snow gave me another excuse to avoid holiday parties I didn't want to go to anyway. I have been really good about not eating a lot since I'm getting no exercise. After Christmas I will start swimming at the local club. I am almost at my marriage weight, 40 years ago. Its just all shifted...

Well, I achieved one of my two goals. Yesterday, I ran and finished the Honolulu Marathon. Here is a link describing my Honolulu Marathon experience . But, I didn't achieve my weight and body fat goals. That's due to the fact that I got massive shin splints in September from over training. It took 2 months to recover from them and it severely limited my ability to train. I took up water running which helped a bit. But, I could no...

@ Laurac260-- Sorry for the delayed response--but thank you so much for the suggestions!! I've only ever been a sporadic gym goer, this is the first time I've actually ever put forth a huge effort before. It feels like late in the game, and there is a lot I don't know, so all and any suggestions are appreciated!! I will definitely check out that book-- and am headed to Target today for some last minute Thanksgiving necessities,...
