You earn a blue star!!!!!

This is the message I just saw this morning!!! Yup that’s right, I did it!! sooner than to be expected… I got up this morning and for some reason decided to weigh myself again. When I stepped on the scale I was in shock and still am in shock!!! I lost another 2 pounds since yesterday!!! I met my mini goal and also lost 50 pounds total! I am so excited but also can’t believe it!! I don’t know how I did it either! I didn’t exercise yesterday at all other than gardening. I was super busy so I didn’t have the time yesterday. But I ate well, maybe I am catching up from the last couple weeks of loosing 1 pound or maintaining. I don’t care, I’ll take it!!!

So I entered my new weight this morning only to get this message:

Congratulations!! You have earned a big thumbs up for achieving your Mini Goal!
Good Job! However, you are losing weight too quickly and you need to slow the pace of your weight loss to no more than 2-3 lbs per week. You are strongly urged to consult your physician or health care professional.
You have earned 1 Blue Star.

I was like what? Congrats but you’re loosing too fast??? What is that all about. My scale doesn’t have the ounces, so maybe it isn’t exactly another 2 pounds but my scale shows that I weigh 265, so since that is all I have to go by, I am  taking that number! I don’t think 4 pounds in a week is bad! Look at the biggest loser, they sometimes lose 15-20 pounds a week. Granted they are working out a lot more than I am but hey does anyone ever tell them, your loosing to fast, consult your doctor!  I  think that kinda brings people down, but not me not today!!! I am off to get my house ready for my mother’s day dinner. Mom is coming later!

But first I have to set a new mini goal! I think I will set it for another 5 pounds, just so it is not such a long stretch and I don’t get discouraged! To think a couple weeks ago, I didn’t think I would make it past 270, now I am 5 pounds lighter and feeling great!!!

    Blue Star Wonderful, I’m just tickled blue for you!

    I think they put the message on there to cover their hinny in the event that someone should ever decided to file a suit against them for encouraging unhealthy weight loss. It’s sad but true that American’s are law suit crazy.

    I am so happy for you! When you were discouraged a few weeks ago because the weight loss was slowing you just kept at it and now look - it has payed off! I love your persistence and I am going to steal a little of it for myself!
