POTN losers, unite!

Wow, Mo! Just WOW.
You don't look like you have 18 more pounds to lose. You look terrific!!
I am jealous. But then again, I haven't been doing too much to reach my goal.
You have motivated me once again.

C'mon Maureen, fess up, that second shot was from 20 years ago, right?

And, where the heck do you think you will find 18 more pounds anyway?
Great job!!!!

Actually I was motivated along by this thread and all of you. Once I got the momentum going, it's been pretty easy.

I decided to pick 3 things to do that I could easily do without throwing in the towel. I gave up red meat, I gave up sugar and I increased my walking to 3 miles, five days/week. I treated myself to frozen yogurt, sweet potato fries and ate all I wanted in Italy because I was walking 8-11 miles/day and climbing hundreds of stairs.

I still have a little ways to go yet so keep me pumped up everyone.

wow, im really impressed maureen. i cant even think of ONE thing i'd be happy to give up/increase LOL

i find it hard to lose, but effortless to maintain.. so im still maintaining along at 15kg over my happy weight... i have motivation in theory, but in practice i have none
not really sure why

Way to go Maureen.
Lookin' good.

Thanks. You guys have all had a hand in this, whether you knew it or not

Wow Mo! You're really inspiring me to get back on track! WTG

Well, I have been playing racquetball 2-3 times a week, and it feels like that might be doing me some good.
Maybe I'll pair that with a no sugar rule.

Cat, see if you can find some ALBA 77 low fat frosty shake mix. Throw it in a blender with ice and a favorite fruit (or fruit combo). It makes a whole blender full for under 150 calories and you can have 2 giant servings.

They also have a chocolate shake which improves with a teaspoon of peanut butter and half a banana

ok im gonna stop procrastinating. ive made up an exercise plan to get back into it and starting this week im following it.
i want to fit my old wardrobe again! (not the actual wardrobe, you understand, just what's in it!) LOL

I have some vanilla slim fast powder that mixes up real well in the blender with orange juice and frozen fruit.
I've never heard of the Alba 77 stuff. I'll do a search for it. Thanks.

Completely off topic, but not really... Happy Mother's Day to all the moms today! (camera totin' or not...) Take the day off and indulge..a little !
