yes i have lost inches Thank goodness for that
since 3-19 when i first measured

neck -1
bicep-1
forearm same
chest -2
waist -2
hips - 3.5
thighs -3
calves -.5

i do see the inches change.. ( on the tape measure not so much in the mirror) i just dont understand the weight not moving. I guess that part really confuses me. Where can i find more info on the stall in weight but inches coming off...will there be a loss anytime soon?
lol can i have a 29" waist and weigh 221 cuz that works for me lol

oh heres a great cough supressant and let me tell you it works its weird but it works take some of the vicks vapor rub or the generic stuff rub it on the bottom of your feet and put some socks on when you go to bed. NO lie it works. My son was up coughing so many nights i was ready to lose it. I searched on the internet and came across it. well i thought that was insane, one night i got up cuz he was hacking up a fricken hair ball rubbed it on the bottom of his feet put socks on and well.. he had stopped no cough at all. When i quit smoking i had a terrible cough that woke me up at night...well i tried it and it really does work. I have no clue why it works i dont get the vapors which usually started a asthma attack so its not that,i have no idea why it supresses the cough.

Hi All,

Started yesterday for the second time. Lost 24 pounds the first month at the first of last year until I decided to celebrate with a couple of drinks! We all know how that worked out....lol Have been trying to start ever since.

Now I've made a $1000 bet with my buddy for what weight we'll be at on Aug 1st. I have to lose 55lbs......I don't think it will be a problem. I will be here everyday for motivation. I'm at 240 and have to be at 185... Wish me luck!!!!!

Ruthanne! Your inches lost are INCREDIBLE! There is a post somewhere about "Post Induction Stall Syndrome"...I think I had it for a couple days, but for some people it lingers. Just keep doing what your doing, your body will catch up. With inches lost like that, you should be very proud!

As for me...I guess I didn't need to worry about a monday weight gain from all my hard workouts this weekend...cuz I'm down to 277.6...I couldn't believe it for myself! But....I'm not booking it until friday...since I said that is my new weigh in day. What an awesome way to start the week though.

My workouts were fantastic. I did 15 minutes on the eliptical saturday and...gulp...20 MINUTES yesterday! I have no idea if I'll be able to repeat that, but I'm sure gonna try! I did arm weights saturday enough to make me sore even still today...so I'm doing something right! YAY! Today my booty hurts...so I did my "simple" lower body exercises right too...not bad for a girl with a spinal cord injury!

Breakfast was one of my "egg, sausage, cheese and cauliflower muffins" (I gotta find a shorter way of saying that!), looks like lunch will likely be roast beef heated with swiss cheese, served on a lettuce leaf with maybe a side of green beans. Dinner will be steak and maybe a salad??? I'm also going to have pumpkin cheesecake sometime today, and I have celery and cream cheese packed in case I need a snack.

I didn't have steak last night as planned cuz I made a bizarre dinner that worked out pretty good. Some time ago I bought these turkey and chicken meatballs (brand name Aidells) from a natural food store. These are the chipotle kind. I knew from experience they were super spicey. Anyway, I pulled them out of the freezer trying to think of how to prepare them. Well...I ended up heating them up and them cutting them into 4 pieces and making a taco salad out of it. I wanted the sour cream to cool down the spiceyness. It was pretty good...my only issue was that I made too much and had to throw some out. The package I had was zero net carb...but I just looked online and they have changed their Nutrition info to show they are now 1 net carb...either way, it was good for something different.

As for rungs...I can't decide if I'm really on Rung 3 now since I didn't truly add anything from rung 2...or if I should hang out in 2 another week and give something new a go. I supposed I could work in some Ricotta somewhere...it just seemed so high in carbs that it wasn't gonna be worth the effort. I couldn't find any low-carb yogurt...and I don't think I'd be too thrilled to have it without fruit anyway. Any thoughts on where I should be?

hello all! day 19 still going strong. not looking at the scale till next weekend, as i have a big time case of the post induction stall. well, more like the post induction roller coaster. i finally got my measurements taken, unfortunately about 2 weeks too late, so i have no idea how many i lost during 2 week induction. but i'm excited to see my measurements change, and trying not to focus on the weight as much.

Morning everyone (yep, still morning here )... checking in!!

I haven't been around much, but I've been following rollcalls. Lots of stuff happening out there in STACer-land!! And so much FAB support for one another... I love STACer-land!!

One of the things I read from Sunday's rollcall - TJ mentioning those stupid weights so many of us seem to get stuck at. Yep... 217 (as he mentioned) was one of those weights for me... and, just last week, 204 was another. As many of you may know, I'm a daily weigher (I don't get stressed by it), and I had to see that darned 204 day in and day out for a week . Then, on Saturday... 201!!!!! Yippie!! Sunday = 202 and today, 201 again. So I get to OWN 201

1 more pound to my next mini-goal!!!!

AND... One-derland is right around the corner!!!

Happy Monday, everyone. Stick to plan, drink your water, stay positive... and keep coming back here for support and accountability!!

Cheers!
Vickie

Good evening, everyone! I woke up to another pound lost. I don't know what I have done different the past three days, but whatever it is, I'll take it! It was a beautiful day today, in the low 60's, and sunshine. Yesterday, it snowed! That's springtime in the mountains for you. My husband had supper fixed for me this evening, fried chicken and greenbeans as my side. He has been so good about cooking low carb for me. The only thing is, I am forgetting how to cook, and depending on him even more. Now I know I'll stick to this WOE. LOL!!
