I was 197.5 this morning, so I am going to join the next thread.
I was at a conference this weekend, and these two middle-aged men were looking me up and down (and looking at my backside) commenting on my weight loss. I was so embarassed since I am a very shy and reserved person. Part of me wanted to gain back some weight, to become "invisible" again. I thought to just give up.
However, when I think about ME, and not other people, I want to go on. I am so happy that my knees don't ache any more, and am glad I have more endurance. I honestly did not think I would ever see a "1" starting my weight ever again.
Thank you to everyone for all of your support and encouragement. 3FC is a great community. I could not have done it without all of you.

I plugged in my weight this week for the April Fool's challenge and I loss 2.2lbs. despite not working out at all during the holiday weekend and eating out TWICE, two things I haven't done since starting this journey. So I'm not sure if the number I saw on the scale is a fluke or something. I must've stepped on the scale at least a dozen times, though, and the numbers varied between 213.2 and 213.6, so I just went with the higher one. I feel real good about that number, but at the same time I'm leery because I know I shouldn't have lost that much, if at all this weekend. I'm heading back to my workout routine tonight, though. Fingers crossed my numbers stay this low!!

That's wonderful. I still don't fully understand how we can get whooshes of weight loss. But it happens! this has happened to me a few times too, so it is possible to eat out and still lose more weight than on weeks where you worked out more and didn't eat out...

kisskiss, Fatness - Thanks, girls! Well, I came in this morning at 213.2, so I guess yesterday's number was right. This has gotten me excited to see if I can get under 210 by the end of this month! I am so ready to see the other side of 200 already!
