About Me

My name is Linda and I'm 41 years old. I live in Maine. My goal is to lose 50 pounds by August of 2010. I am starting my Slim Fast Weight Loss Plan on August 30, 2009. I have 3 daughters ages 18, 16 and 12 and am recently seperated and will be divorcing. Back in 2006/2007 I lost 96 pounds.My starting size then was size 24. This time around I am starting with a size 14 and have set my goal for smaller than last time. The good news is I did keep off 60 pounds from that time around!

4 pounds this week!

Well as you all know last week I hit my first plateau but I decided I would just try harder next week. I had a feeling it was from lack of drinking enough fluids. So I pushed the fluids this week and when I got on the scale on this morning I was ecstatic to discover that I lost 4 pounds!!! That also pushes me into a brand new digit on the scale. Woohoo! That now puts me at 28 pounds loss total.

Hit first plateau

This morning I hit my first plateau. Not a biggie. I will overcome. I somehow think it is because my fluid intake seemed lower this week. Need to push those fluids!

2 months on plan

Well I'm happy to report that I've been on the SlimFast plan for 2 months now and have lost 24 pounds to date. I'm just one pound away from halfway to goal. I was going to buy myself a new outfit once I reached 25 pounds but have decided to wait. I mean the clothes is getting baggier but I think I can hold out for a little while longer. Maybe 30 pounds?

Thanks for accepting my buddy request. I am doing well so far. It has been a month since I started and I am down 11 pounds so far. I am happy with my progress. I do not let a hurdle throw me. I am making better food decisions for myself which is a good thing. It was way too easy to swing into the fast food place instead of eating something good for me.

Sounds like you are doing great also. Don't let a little plateu curb your progress. It is just a hurdle you need to jump over.

Nice to have a buddy that has the same weather issues as I do. Hard to discuss diet with someone from Florida that can get outside everyday when we are snowed in. LOL

Thanks again and look me up anytime.

If the scale doesn't move I know it's a fluid issue. I was never very aware of it before but I am so sensitive to it now. Anytime I feel puffy, I drink, drink, drink. I'm sure you'll see a scale budge for next weigh-in. You are doing amazing and have come so far!!! Glad to know it IS possible to lose weight and keep it off. You are living proof!!
