Whoohoo! Great news, Penny.

Any updates penny?

I'm down to 500 calories a day. We'll see how long it takes to lose 10 pounds and get me off this plateau.

Really good news Penny! You are truly an inspiration

Well now you've gone a done it!

Please forgive me sweetheart I have somehow missed this thread. I don't know why I don't go lower than a certain place on mingle when viewing the forums.

I read through every word and am like needing to call kleenex for a refill. I can not tell you how proud I am of you (((such a big hug))) my very sweet friend.

I'm absolutely overjoyed!

love you Penny

Good Luck Penny,

How's it going so far? I'm on a diet also and its torture to remember I'm on a diet when I see all my favorite foods.

How are u managing? Do u also do a cardio workout Hun?

I'm happy for you ...sooOooOo rooting for yah! HUGZ!

I Seem To Hit A Plateau Too. The Scale Hasent Moved In Two Weeks. I Usually Eat Between 500 And 800 Calories A Day.

Well keep it up with your swimming, I'm moving along again and you will too!

for Exercise I Swim Laps And do Water Aerobics. Also Try And Walk About Half A Mile A Day.I Also Dont Look At The Way I Eat As A Diet. . .Its A Lifestyke Change Making Healthisr Choices Each Day. Cutting Out SOda Was Hard But Now I Dont Even Crave It. Finding Healthy Alternatives To Your Favorite Things Helps For Example I Love Potato Chips . .The Saltiness And The Crunch But They Have Way To Many Carbs In Them So I Did Some Reaearch And Found Pork Rinds Are High In Protein So Now When I Get The Need For A Salty Crunch I Eat A HandFul Of Them Instead Of Potato Chips.

Thank You momoIro

hi Warren :) hope all is well with you. :)

I'm not a doc, but doesn't muscle weigh more than fat? Sometimes I would think that it's not a plateau as much as a balance.

My sister in law use to shock me when she got on the scale. She was a rail but weighed 200. She was 5'11" and hard as a rock.

I'm doing the swim thing too, so looking forward to any in pool exercises that might be cool. I like it far better than anything high impact.

Actually heading for the pool now.

Besides swimming laps while in the pool i do swats, leg lifts, i swim laps using only my arms and them only my legs, i walk around the pools circumferance while in the water. I swim the back stroke , and just play around in the water too. :)

Congratulations Penny on the 102 lb loss.. sounds like you're doing great!!
I also quit losing (for 7 wks) and was in a panic but the dr said its my body readjusting to the quick weight loss.. I'm now down 70 lbs and feeling really good, younger than my yrs..lol I've been in the pool a lot also, still using my recumbent bike and pilates chair...Had a lot of family stuff going on(wedding, reunions an visiting friends from out of town) and its challenging but I usually eat before I go out and then just snack.. My friends are very supporting and understand when I need a protein bar instead of ice cream...lol Keep up the good work Penny!! Hugs

You are an inspiration. After my divorce, I went from 300lbs to my current weight of 180lbs. It's not an easy task. I commend you. Blessed Love Penny. :)

Just checking in, Penny, to cheer you on!

Hey PennyGurl! I haven't been on Mingle for awhile but wanted to pop in to send encouragement and support! You go Gurl!

Congratulations! That is quite a feat!
