This sign says something different to me than it might to others. Stop dieting, start living! To me this means that it shouldn't be a diet it should just be a new lifestyle. I have changed the way I eat. I am trying to avoid as many processed foods as possible. This eliminates sugar and grains. I am living life better because I have lost weight and I feel so much better.

Warning scale is 3 pounds light!
Hi Betty - I'm curious as to why it's a WARNING...about the scales weighing lighter. It makes it sound dangerous, perhaps even life threatening. I would maybe use the word CAUTION, or NOTE or perhaps even ADVISORY;)
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, congratulations on 27 weeks of continual weight loss (not counting the week you skipped for vacation) You are doing AWESOME!
Hmm! Never really thought about that. Maybe I will have to rethink my terminology.
DeleteThanks! I feel awesome!
Congrats, Betty! I'm so happy for you! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am getting to the point that the numbers no longer matter. I feel better and I look better. I have seen nothing but good coming from it. Don't get me wrong I want to brag about a low number, but if it doesn't happen I can deal with it!
DeleteYAY!! So wonderful! And WHAT did you do between week 19 and 20? You jumped down a lot of pounds. Keep up the great work, girl!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Meredith
That is fantastic Betty! Nice loss!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Frances! I just keep working at it.
DeleteIt's brilliant news that you are steadily losing weight. And yes, it is a lifestyle change. I find that people sometimes think diets are boring because they don't always know how to season food to make it tasty. Once you know how to use ingredients in cooking, it makes food so much better. I'm sure I don't need to give you food advice :)
ReplyDeleteKeep it up mate and before you know it, you'll be your ideal weight.
Congratulations on losing another pound that is so awesome... keep working at it... :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Betty!
ReplyDeleteWooHoo! You are doing an absolutely terrific job. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Betty! It really is a lifestyle change not a diet:)
ReplyDeleteThat is so impressive! You are an inspiration to others! If I could just get off sugar... I know I would be much better for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job :D Also - like the sandal tan line on your feet, hehehe
ReplyDeleteYou are doing fantastic Betty!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Another pound bites the dust!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! However they were done. I begin at your first weigh-in every time, for the entire effort.
ReplyDeleteThe heat this time of year reduces my weight. It's effort to keep adequately hydrated.
Congrats on doing so well!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing FANTASTIC! Congratulations! I hope you're rewarding your efforts in some nice way. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteGreat loss! Thanks for linking up with us :)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive weight loss. Today is Day 4 on my clean eating plan. I am loving it. I have had not one single craving and I'm astounded. I feel clear-headed and have more energy. I do allow myself 2 servings of grains per day. Oatmeal in the morning and another serving with one of my other meal/snacks.
ReplyDeleteTo me the sign means clean up your eating so you don't have to diet and start living and enjoying life because you feel great and you can.
