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.

It told me that too after i MAINTAINED ALL THOSE WEEKS AND LOST 6 POUNDS. sorry baby on lap. Congrats! Yay for a minigoal. I am hoping to reach mine this weekend.
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!
Great JOb!!!!!!!!!
