I'm still holding at 253 lbs. I need to measure myself tomorrow. I've been off the healthy eating. I need to bake fish and chicken in advance. If I don't do this, I'll eat everything and anything. I walked yesterday and swam today. I need to continue eating well like I never stopped. Just jump right in.
Weigh in day was Friday...I was at 254.6 which is down a little more than 2 lbs for the week. I am thrilled with that!
I'm trying to lose at a good pace while I can, because within the next few weeks DH and I are getting two boys placed with us for a foster/pre-adoptive placement. They are 9 and 10 and awesome kids. I know my life is going to change instantly and priorities are going to shift, but we are still committed to eating healthy not only for our sake, but for our boys as well!
I've been bouncing around the 250s for weeks and weeks, so I'm hoping this will help me stay on track and get down into the 240s in the relatively near future. I've been eating better and walking more often, and plan to add some weight-training to my activities this week, so hopefully that will help speed things along.
I had a super good weigh-in this week which finally landed me in the 250s. I've been slowly working on the 260s since April 23rd but even with weeks that were lower than I had hoped for, it all adds up. I'm looking forward to working my way towards the 240s with y'all.
Do you ever feel like you're sabotaging yourself? I feel that way this week. I haven't been under 250lbs for probably a year, and it feels like every time I get somewhat close to going under I do something incredibly stupid and mess up, gaining anywhere between 3-5 pounds. It comes off quickly enough, but then it happens again I feel like once i pass 250 things will get easier.
I agree Blinkworks. I was edging to 252 then went on a trip for three days. I'm on a strict no salt, no dairy, no sugar, no fat diet from the 6 week body makeover info commercial. It's difficult to be unprepared for this eating plan. So let's say I ate what I wanted. Now I have to start over at 256. Argh. I'm back home and the prepared food is in the freezer, but I don't want to eat it. I'm starting all over. First, drink at least 64 oz of water. I shouldn't be fooling around this time, this is for the rest of my life. Hang in there, I'm desperately trying to...
I got on the scale this morning and saw 249.8, then I got back on and it was 250.2 so I am almost out. I am kinda crazy on my scale, I weigh over and over until I see the same number twice. I should really take the first number that comes up.
Into the 240s this morning for my weekly WI, so I'm moving on to the 240s thread but I'll be checking in here to cheer everyone on - I know you'll all be there soon!

If it 3-5 lbs and it is coming off and on quickly, then it is probably just water weight anyway. Do not beat yourself up for water weight. It's fat loss that matters in the long run....

Thanks, authentic, that does make me a lot better. And since I weighed in this morning a full pound lighter than yesterday, I'm thinking that it is water weight. Congrats on going to the 240's thread!
