AmbaLove is Tracking the Journey!

Hi Amber

Dont worry about the challenge goal weight thing. I only got to my goal weight because I got sneaky and calculated the highest goal weight that I was allowed to set and used that. I didnt work out how much weight I would like to lose or would aim to lose - if I had done that I would have almost certainly not got there.

I firmly believe that we will all get to where we want to be weight-wise. It will be a struggle - but we will get there.

Have a wonderful time over the entire Christmas holiday period.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hey girl, I just saw that Missouri got hit hard by winter storms. I hope you're safe and that you're careful driving to your mom's tomorrow. :hug2:

Home. Cold. 14 inches of snow in 5 days at mom's house. So, so sick. Sitting in dark, attempting not to puke. Wishing husband was not at work. Wanting ginger ale. Now, you're all caught up.

Well, I was not 205 for Christmas. I was 213...8 lbs heavier than I wanted. But I was not 220. I lost 7 lbs in 7 weeks, which really, is decently healthy weight loss. I am disappointed, but not upset.

My next goal is my birthday, February 18th. It is 51 days away. A bit over 7 weeks. Apparently, 15 lbs in 7 weeks was much too high a goal. I'd love to say 14, and try to hit Onderland by my birthday...but I'd hate to miss another goal by over half. Yet, I want to up it some, as my sick week, where I stagnated from retaining water on decongestant and my corpus luteum cyst week of hardly any exercise made me lose a bit less than I probably could have. So, I am going to shoot for 9 lbs.

51 days, nine pounds. My new personal challenge. Ticker will be changed to represent this new challenge. Losing 9 lbs will put me at 204 on my birthday. I am hoping to hit onderland by easter, and buy a new easter dress to celebrate.

I want to do the biggest loser challenge, so I hope I get in it on time. I'd hate to be left out!!
 
Congrats on your steady weight loss! Because its been 7 months since I've lost anything at all, I no longer set my goals by how much weight I want to lose cuz it aint happening anyway. Boo hoo. So the more realistic the better, and hey, if you come in losing more then you'll just be ahead of the game by that many pounds.

Thanks for sharing the pics, they're really nice :).

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Amber

I do hope that you are feeling better. You sounded so low in your diary in your first posting back.

The pictures are lovely. It looks like you had a good Christmas surrounded by your family - just what Christmas is all about.

You did well getting a 7 pound weight loss in 7 weeks. I bet that your dieticians are very impressed with that when you consider that we have had Christmas.

I have every confidence that you will make your 9 pound personal target loss by your birthday as long as everything goes well with your health. It will be hard work - but I know that you are motivated to the nth degree and will move heaven and earth to try and make it happen. It may not be in time for your birthday - but you will be in ONEderland very soon.

Take care
Love

Well, it is 10:45 on New Years Day. So far, I have consumed only 200 calories, of high protein, low fat, no sugar food. Good.

I have NOT put my fingernails into my mouth. Very good. (One of my resolutions is to stop biting my nails.)

So far, 2008 is shaping up ok.
 
Its 11:39am and I'm also right on target with my resolutions LOL! I've already had 3 cups of veggies sauteed in olive oil so on target for reaching my 9 servings of fruits and veggies ha ha.
 
Hey girl, I hope you're feeling better. I think your birthday goal is do-able, and 7lbs in 7weeks is nothing to sniff at--especially this time of year. It's better than I did. Glad to see you signed up for the challenge!
 
Hiya

Happy New Year

Hope your weight loss continues to be sucessful in 2008 and all your dreams come true
