CONGRATULATIONS PNK! I hope to be seeing you soon!
I changed my ticker this morning. Not happy about it, but I'm being honest with myself. I hope to shed this extra water and be closer to where I was last week by the weekend. No cheats for me. I want to thrive. MFP is being a bit of a challenge to figure out. I guess lose it was laid out a little easier. I'll figure it out though. For the first time in about 2 weeks, I DIDN'T have a late night snack. Woohoo!
Hey everyone. This is my first post outside the introductions. I'm starting out at 255 so I'm hoping that my first week will be a big one! Let's move on to the 240's y'all!
Congratulations pnkrckpixikat!!! Hopefully I'll catch up to you soon.
nagazim - I feel your pain. I hate changing my stats when it's going the wrong direction, but if we look at the big picture we are still on the downward trend. We just have to keep doing the best we can and when we look back in a year we will see just how far we've come. I also use that MFP app on my phone. Even though I mostly just count carbs I do try to keep a close eye on my calories. Plus they say just keeping a food journal alone can help you lose weight.
As for me, I was down 2 pounds today from yesterday, but that's still up 2 pounds from a few days ago. I'm hoping to, at the very least, be where I was at last Friday's weigh in. Of course it would be really nice to have lost some, but after gaining nearly 5 pounds I'll be lucky just to get back to where I was. I still don't understand how I gained like that, but it is what it is.
Hello all!
I've been hoping to join a progress thread since first joining here, and I thought I would finally jump in!
Today I weighed 266.5, I hadn't weighed myself in a few days (busy mornings and a being a bit frustrated with my scale!), and I'm glad to see that my scale finally changed to under 267. (Even if it is only .5 of a pound, haha!)
mandydawn77 and nagazim, I can say I feel your pain as well. After reaching 267, for a short amount of time my scale jumped up to 269-270 and wouldn't budge at all. It can be so frustrating! But like mandy said, if you look at the big picture you're still losing, and you can't let a little bump in the road get you down! I'm sure the scale will start on downward trend again soon.
mjmelwel & levoguette it's great to have you both!
Congratulations to the losses (even if some of us are "relosing" it lol) Hopefully we're all on a downward tread towards our goals.
I'm feeling a lot better today. That weigh in yesterday just really threw me for a loop. At least it was less today. I'm still chugging water, hoping to be closer to where I was. It's extremely discouraging to currently be trying to reach an already attained goal. Now I just want to push through it all. I'm ready to hit my next mini goal too! I'd like to be around 235 by Halloween. FX!
Happy Birthday Only Believe! It is going to be a great one.
I finally got the scale to go down. 252.6 this morning!
Pnkrck way to go!!! Hopefully I will be moving to the next thread soon.
Nagazim and Mandydawn don't get discouraged. The scale will move soon I am sure. I think sometimes weight is like a train. It rolls back just a little to gather steam for the charge ahead.
Happy Birthday Only Believe! It is going to be a great one.

Thank you Mara!
Can you guess what I'm eating for breakfast? I'm not having a party not eating out, but I've had birthday cake on my mind forever since I love sweets so much and haven't had junk foods since may. I picked up some mini cupcakes yesterday and this morning I thought about them and got 2 of them out for breakfast. Guess what?!!! I'm amazed that they are just ok... my taste buds aren't going crazy. I'm not wanting to eat them all.. As a matter of fact I'm still looking at half of the second, wondering if I really want it. LOL I know cupcake for breakfast is so silly!!! I'm thinking I won't have any trouble saying no to the others.

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! only Believe and thats so awesome that the cupcakes are only meh, makes them easier to resist! I know I find supermarket cakes kinda gross now. The frosting is too sweet and tastes chemical-y. But put a homemade cake in front of me... well I'm better than I USED to be but still not great with the restraint. That just means I rarely bake lol
It looks like a number of you will be following me to the 240's soon! I can't wait! In the meantime I will keep my eye on the thread and offer my support
I've been busy this week at work and haven't had too much time to check in, but I try to update daily. This morning the scale kept changing on me. I think the battery needs to be replaced. It ranged from 258 to 260, so I just went with 259 My fingers are crossed that tomorrow I am at least back down to 258 for our weekly weigh in here at work.
You know, I've realized I don't really like sweets like I used to now. It's only been about 2.5 months since I've eaten them regularly. I still find myself saying "oh sugar is my weakness", but I don't have much sugar at all ever now-a-days. The other night my dad made a homemade chocolate cake and my eyes were drooling. I took one bite of Dh's piece and my eyes nearly crossed it was soooooo rich. I couldn't have eaten it if I wanted to. It didn't really taste good to my taste buds now and I about never got the sharp sweet taste out of my mouth. It was a relief truly since I was convinced once I "treated" myself, I wouldn't be able to stop. Now I know I won't start.

Our's had to be replaced once the weights were being all wacky like that. I hope you're under last week's by tomorrow!
Well ladies, the new calories counts and super water flush are working. I'm only 2 lbs away from my lowest this go around. I think last Friday I was around 255. So I guess I've at least caught back up to that. Now to push through. I want to hit 250 so badly! That will be my official lowest in 3 years! Can't wait!
pnkrckpixikat I'm happy for you, and yes of course we want you to visit us! Just don't move back in 
Hopefully I'll catch up to you soon.
mjmelwel & levoguette it's great to have you both!
