EXCITING NEWS! I was asked to do an interview, for another website! Check it out, it's a very inspiring website!
It is... "Weightloss Tips.com" or www.wltips.com
I'm still plugging away. See my progress! I'm happy. Nothing major going on. Excited that Cambridge has introduced some new products. Yummy new bars! Can't wait to try them! See you later!

Well, no loss today, but the total for the week was....

6.5 pounds! So, I'm happy about that! I hope I can lose another 6.5 by the time hubby get's home from Belgium. He's only going to be gone for a week, so maybe I can trim down a little bit by then. I weighed in at 218 this morning. I think I must not have gotten enough water in yesterday! I just didn't want to drink it! So, I've got to do better today. I'll take my jug with me today, since I'm going to be out of the house a lot. Got to get Father's Day presents today!
Hope you all are doing well!

Just like the Energizer Bunny...I'm still going!


Finally back on the downhill swing! I've lost 26.5 pounds, and I can tell it. I can't WAIT until it's 209, then 199! WHOO HOO! Nothing else to report really...just wanted to let you know that I'm STILL hanging in there.

On to Day 4 of the challenge...should get easier after today!




So, I changed my ticker to my mini-goal of 199. Yep, that's not too far away, and I'm REALLY hoping to get there by the 4th of July! That would be GREAT. I only lost half a pound yesterday, but I think it's because I had muffins twice. I'm doing only 3 shakes today. I like the muffins, but they do seem to slow my loss a little, and I don't want anything slowing me down! Day 4 or 5 has always been the hardest for me. I feel like I'm going to make it though. I'm really excited about getting the weight off, and I think that is what it takes. You have to believe you can lose the weight. I think that is one of the reasons Cambridge works so well. The loss you have in the first few days, is usually very inspiring! Most people lose 10 pounds the first week.

I was watching TV, and a commercial for e-diets came on. They said, "Lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks!" Then I thought, WHAT? I can lose 10 pounds in ONE week on Cambridge. Sometimes we get discouraged, because we may only drop 3-4 pounds in one week, but if you think about it, on any other diet, it would take at least 2 weeks to lose 4 pounds! So, if you are losing that fast, you are really cutting your diet in half, or even in thirds! That is what motivates me!

DAY 3, of the 4th of July Challenge, and I'm on my way!



24.5 pounds! Finally a half pound below where I was before I went hog wild! It's going to continue to drop from THIS DAY ON. I'm hoping that by July 4th, the scale will read 199.5 OR LESS. I would be happy at 199. That would be the first time I've been below 200 in 5 years!

I'm going to be brutally honest...

I want to eat something! I know it's because I'm doing the HORRID first week over, and this too shall pass, but HOLY COW! I could eat a COW! That is why I don't want to do this again! I KNOW what it's like to be floating around in ketosis, and I can't WAIT to get back there! REALLY wish I hadn't screwed it up in the first place!

I have so many reasons to lose this weight. I won't bore you with all of them, but here are a few.

1. I want to wear my wedding rings again!
2. Cute shoes! (need I say more?)
3. So, I'll LOVE shopping again, instead of DREADING it.
4. So, I'll turn heads and, NOT because they are thinking "Good LORD, she needs to lay off the doughnuts!"
5. Swimsuits!
6. I want to FEEL better about myself! FOR ME.
7. So, I 'll LIVE longer....yep that's a BIGGIE!
8. So, I'll be slimmer than my mother-in-law, AGAIN, and I can prove her WRONG about Cambridge! (she thinks I can't do it)
9. So, I'll have more energy to play with my kids.
10. And the biggest new reason...Hubby just got promoted to management, and we will be moving to a new state. Lot's of sociallizing, and entertaining, and I DON'T WANT to be the managers FAT WIFE.

OK, now that it's in writing, I'm not so hungry anymore. Give it a try! Now, I'm gonna go work on my tan!

WOW....I feel like I've been visited by a celebrity!

I've been really busy lately, so I was very shocked to find a comment on my blog left by Mike. Mike is from the UK, and has a blog that is chocked FULL of inspiration. I have read it a million times, and have sent numerous people there to absorb inspiration from him!

He had amazing success with Cambridge, and was the one who inspired me to start my own blog. If you have never been to his website, you don't know what you are missing! Thanks Mike for your encouraging words, and for taking the time to leave a comment on my blog!
