Love that blue line. Congratulations.  

Yes! Fantastic!! Super happy for you! 

Congratulations on meeting your mini-goal! I love those, because I always give myself a (non-food) reward, like a new perfume or a concert or a new pair of shoes 👞 

Thanks Liv and Unity! 

Thanks Bananas! I still have .6 of a pound to go. I don't give myself any kind of reward when I reach goals , maybe I should think about it. As long as I can stay within my calorie and carb goal I'll eat what I want, avoiding things like chips, cookies, fast food (except for Jim boy's tacos). I've been thinking about getting a veggie pizza at Papa Murphys, already looking up carbs and calories..  

Great job! 

🎉🎉🎉🎉💜💜💜 

Thanks Diana and p$m! 

Good job!!!!! 

can someone please explain the "lines"? 

I love the idea of giving yourself a reward. Ive never done that except for purchasing new clothes that actually fit which i guess is a reward in itself. But i think you should give yourself something wonderful. Great work!!!!!!! 

Thanks sandyeg, do you see the blue line under my profile picture? Everyone should have a line if they have set a weight goal. The goal is to get to a blue line! It starts out red, then it changes as you lose. Not sure of the order of the colors, but I think it changes from red to the next color when you have, lost 25% of your goal, then against 50% and 75% ANF finally to blue when you are within a pound of your goal. I didn't set a goal of the total amount of weight I want to lose, but set intermittent goals so I get to a blue line sooner. Once I change my weight goal, I'll have a red line again. Hope that makes sense. Some people pay no attention at all to the "line" 

Thanks YOH! Like Just Bananas said, the reward probably shouldn't be a food treat. I really can't think of anything that is not food other than new clothes. I have bought a couple items of clothing the next size down to motivate me. They are still too snug!.  

Maybe something fun for the puppies? A sweater against the cold weather? A new coffee mug? New towels for the bathroom? A really good quality pan? (We just bought hexclad and im sold on the difference between quality and what we had before now). Just some ideas…ooooooo a massage!!!!! 

Good job on the blue line! I've been trying to go blue for more than a year but just can't get there. 

Thanks Morticia and Djeffers!  

Thanks YOH, I'm trying not to buy much new until I move. I do plan on getting a new cook ware set for the new house. New beds, bedding, etc for the.new color scheme. A massage isn't a bad idea 

If you decide to go hexclad (Gordon Ramsey creation) i did a ton of research before i bought and costco had all the deals beat by $100 and also included one extra large sauce/stew type pan which is easily over $200 by itself. They carry them under the special events section if you decide to go that route.  

Thanks YOH. I will check it out when I finally renew my Costco membership. But I doubt I will want to spend the money since I don't really cook much and only use the stove once or twice a weeK, if that for scrambled eggs or a grilled cheese sandwich.  

Honestly all i use it for myself is scrambled eggs, pancakes and beyond burgers but so far, the eggs and the beyond burger actually are more tender and taste better. I thought, no way is that just the difference in the pan…then started googling it and lo and behold the quality of pan you use does effect the flavor and texture of food. I am not a cook nor baker but just wow.
