Today the scales say 234.1 (down .9 from yesterday) which is a bit shocking because I thought I was actually pretty liberal with my eating yesterday... We love the Oscars at my house, and in the past we would have had a large pizza, popcorn with pour-over butter, and those big boxes of theater candy. Well, that was all out of the question, but in an attempt to feel normal (and because Sundays tend have the reigns a little looser) we had Hamburger Helper for lunch then during the Oscars we had a bag of popcorn and a few mini-M&M's.
So I actually expected to gain a little, at least in water weight. I'm guessing I will fluctuate back up a little in the middle of the week because that's how last week went, but as long as I stay in the game, I should come out at the end of the week with a success.
To everyone in the 230's, please keep posting!! You're motivating me and letting me know I'm not alone - so thank you!
I had a good day yesterday, lots of exercise and I didn't go over iin calories. I am sick again though! Last time it was a runny nose and scratchy throat. This time it's one of the worst sore throats I've ever had and lots of coughing up mucus. Yuck!
Hey Ladies, I just want to make an observation. I was just snooping on a "get me out of the 190's" thread in the 20-something forum. (Even though I'm not 20...shhhhhh) It was started back in November and it so amusing to look back at the women who wanted to get out of 190's, but looking at their tickers, they're now in the 160's, 170's and one is 150!!!
So I'm just saying...you will look back on this thread and amuse yourselves with how far you have come if you just keep going!
I hope someone else finds this as motivational as I did. I think threads like this are great. They just keep going and going...
I think it's fun and interesting that we have challenge threads for the last three decades in the 200s and one for those who are just getting started or who have a longer way to go. Without any organizational effort, we've tried to scoop and support people in all 100-club weight ranges.
I fluctuated back up to 235.5! Gah! lol. It really is the same story as last time - sick again, salty soup, constipated.
I need to work on regulating my digestive system, I'm only going to the bathroom every 3-4 days and the last few days get pretty uncomfortable. Should I try a fiber supplement or that Activia stuff? I just don't know anything about this kind of thing!

I think there are so many different thread and different people posting in the 100 lb club. It's a fantastic group and everyone is incredibly supportive, but it can also get a little overwhelming too.
So I'm loving these focused challenges where people can support a smaller group who are all in a similar place.
And I have to say that I'm seeing great progress in all of these threads, so yay for everyone!!!
I agree, Eliana, I love how the signatures update back to posts made previously. Sometimes when I read old posts, it makes me smile because I hear the frustration in the poster's voice, but know the outcome - usually positive! We all will move forward, it's inevitable!
Angihas2! Hope to see you over in the 220's soon.
I think threads like this are great. They just keep going and going...
