7-Day Motivational Thread Starting 11/28 (recovery week for many)
#241
Tori, excellent week I would say, 4 pounds down is more than great!
Darlene, so nice you had a great day and I am so sorry about your lab, glad he is doing better today.
Mike, 7 pounds! WOW! I think Mern and Pam already gave you solid advice, as long as you are truthful then you won't have anything to regret later with your friend. Take care of yourself so you don't develop a full blown cold.
Mern, excellent week! And you have great reasons for being motivated!
Pam, great week for you! Hope the scale shows you what you want to see tomorrow.
Joanna, you finished your week in a good way! You will figure this out soon.

Darlene, that's great news about your doggie. At his age he may not be a puppy again, but it is obvious he is loved and returns the love. 90 year old men have their charm too . We had 3 kitties make to 18, 19 &20 and they were soooo cute in their own little feeble ways.

Goals for this week:

- Minimal carbs and stick with protein and lots of veggies
- Drink lots of water
- Lose another 10 pounds before I go back to work so I can at least fit into my "Fat" clothes and have pants to wear!!
