Hi everyone! Been a while, hasn't it?

I have some good news to report.

Since August 2003 (the last time I bought pants), I went down in four pant sizes. From a 22 to 18 and I'm even happier to report that it seems like every day, the 18 size is getting bigger on me.

I haven't really exercised, God knows I hate that, but every day I climb stairs (at work) and I'm constantly walking around. I also eat more (good food that is- more veggies, more dairy- mainly milk).

I'm pretty proud of myself. Although, if I buy anymore clothes, I'll be going broke! [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Congrats! That is great!!!! You'll continue to shrink, so don't spend too much on this size of clothes [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I am doing fairly well with the eating two meals of Special K, and then a moderate third. We'll see how it goes...

Go you! (Running)

The new Special K (Vanilla Almond) is soooooooooo yummy!!! I am going to get the on the go snack bars today too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

My muscle under my right shoulder blade is apparently compensating for my barely used arm (the one with the wrist, obviously, that I can't really use all that much) and is KILLING me. And there is no way to get it massaged out or anything because it is under the bone. Ouch.

** To the person who posted the lemon/ginger juice, etc. drink here.... how did you lose weight? I have done the drink every morning, at least an hour before I eat, and haven't missed a day. No weight loss here... just trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

Never posted here before but just wanted to say I'm starting the Special K challenge tomorrow. I tried it once before but the holidays messed me up (i know lame excuse) Good job to everyone who's been able to lose weight and everything, congrats!!

Hey! Welcome [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Another person doing the Special K challenge. Fun!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So, I am basically waivering between 1-2 difference in my weight. No loss, but no gain. I am on meds that have a side effect of weight gain, so not gaining is a good thing. But it just isn't good enough. I need to lose... I am doing that drink still, and eating (well trying) in moderation. I want to lose weight so badly, but I just don't know what to do. I can't do a diet that makes me miserable... *sigh*

briansluv I know how you feel! It sucks dieting and then having nothing happen. especially when you're like me and have a stick-thin sister who eats nothing but sugar all day and doesnt gain a pound [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] ! The Special K diet is the best one I've found so far that lets you eat things you like b/c I like the cereal and the 3rd meal is your choice. My problem is I love things like pasta and bread which are always big no-no's so I havent really found a lot of things I like that I'm allowed to eat. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Today I got to play ultimate frisbee. It was freezing cold, but I didn't notice since I was throwing and running around a lot. I got to be a handler, one of the coolest positions in ultimate. Because our captain, Lindsay (haha same name as me, different spelling...there is like 4 Lyndsey's on the team and we all spell our names differently)anyways...said that I have good throws. I seriously was taken back with that comment, because Lindsay never really says anything good about me. Not that is says anything bad, but it's usually nothing at all. Being a handler is hard work, but I hope to get it soon, because it's a great position and you really get to play.

Side note, over my winter break from school I was looking at pictures from this summer and I finally saw it. I noticed that I had lost weight. I have never been able to notice it, mostly because I am looking at myself everyday in the mirror but I could so tell after looking at pictures from this summer. So I think everyone should do this, and I think that you will see a difference and be encouraged...like me.

That's great you got to be the position you wanted and you got a compliment! [img]smilies/thumbs_up.gif[/img] It feels pretty good when someone says you're good at something you didn't think you were. (Last year someone told me I was really good at defense in soccer, it felt really nice) Also congratulations on not only losing weight but being able to notice you lost weight!! [img]smilies/cheers.gif[/img]

briansluv

Congrats on the compliments and the weight loss! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I like the Special K diet too. I got the strawberry and the vanilla almond cereals, and I also got the blueberry and strawberry snack bars. I guess you can have the breakfast and lunch bowls of cereal (and you can have fruit with it), and you can also have the cereal bar for a snack. I have yet to decide what to have for meal #3.

I have no idea what else do... hopefully this works [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ah, I [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] the starwberry cereal bar. That's my morning snack. I don't know what I'd do without it. I eat one of those and I'm good to go for another 2 hrs.

Good luck to those on the Special K Challenge [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'm sure you guys will do great!

[b]beefshake-weezer[/b I know what you mean about only seeing you had lost weight when you saw old pics. That's what happened to me. I know i lost a lot of weight, my old clothes don't fit anymore, but when I look in the mirror I only see myself a little bit smaller. But when I compare pics, it's like two different people. Seeing that the first time was kinda freaky but it was also a source of great motivation to continue on towards my goal weight.

and today I put on pants that I haven't worn in 2 years.
