Thanks M2M. I'm hoping 200 lb is not too far away. Nice thing about weighing myself in kgs then converting it to pounds - twice as many mini milestones!!

LOL @ the milestones! You're right And it's all worth cheering for!

You're almost in One-der-land! That's a big accomplishment!

She's right, Felici, you've still got a ways to go to reach your goal, but getting into the 100+ land, is a much better place to be.
Keep going at it, or I'll start to sing!

Lol!

Wow! You are doing great Felici!!! I bet you are so looking forward to getting past that 200 mark!!! I am so happy for you and proud of you! You are definitely doing a fantastic job of sticking to it! Thanks for all of your support on my diary as well! Wouldn't be the same without ya!

Hi juju. Thanks. I reckon if I make enough mini milestones, and start talking about them a week or two before I get there and pat myself on the back for a while afterwards - I'll always be celebrating!! Let's pop another bottle of tomato juice!!

I smell Bloody Marys in here !!

Had to stop in and show some forum love to ya. Oh yes, Onederland will probably inspire you so deeply you'll grind yourself right down to your goal weight in no time flat !!

Though I wasn't 'milestone' oriented, I do have to say hitting numbers of significance really drove me further to keep this effort alive. To me, it's the true reward in this brutal game.

Keep fighting the good fight Felici.

Thanks T2. I'm sure I have more times coming where I will need to fight. The truth is, right now I feel like I'm being constantly rewarded for just being normal. Mind you it helps that I appreciate little things like noticing that it's a bit easier now to swing my legs in and out of the car.

I saw the doctor. I swam with my daughter – not as rough as last time – still fun. I walked nice and fast, but not as far as yesterday. I didn’t feel lightheaded. I decided to eat around the same amount of protein for dinner that most people eat, for now. Dinner was a bit small, + I was tired, + my hubby wanted me to watch tv with him and I did, so I ate more than normal in the evening but on plan.

(Hehe. I bet you thought I couldn’t make my daily post that short. )

Lookit you go! Have a great weekend Felici!

Glad to hear you had a good time swimming! I enjoy swimming but am scared at my weight of falling on the slippery cement around the pool before and after the swimming part of it all! So, until I am lighter on my feet I probably will not be doing that. My husband says I have no balance or equilibrium so that is part of my problem! Well to him! He's a klutz too! LOL

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Julie

My husband calls me "spiller"! LOL It's not inaccurate. I am a bit careful about where I chuck my body these days too. I am so lucky though. We went swimming at the beautiful beach, in the waves - with no slippery bits.

G'Morning felici,
I hope you have a great weekend!

I'm envious. i love the beach. And we dont have any beautiful beaches. lol. well...not right now. its WAY to cold. lol.

I grew up near the sea. When I was a child I was surprised to find out that there were people who had never even seen it!! Then I found out that some people have the sea without the beach. Well, I'm old enough now to know how lucky I am. It took me a long time to find out that there are beaches near here where you have to really work your body just to stay inside the safety flags - and that that is a good thing. I'm sort of hoping for some more gaps in my daughter's playdate calendar because she is a great beach companion. As far as I know the water here is colder than some places. I still need coaxing to get in, but after that it feels good. Even when it's not nice to swim, a walk on the beach is great.
