I am still trying to find the teens. Weight 220.0 but down .9 from earlier in week. My fitness trainer said its from me upping my workout. Kinda stinks but I guess gaining muscle is good.

Welcome healthy to be!

Merilung - Thanks for the welcome!

Losetoall -- That sounds really interesting, I may try that as I have a trip in 2 weeks and would like to see a little whoosh. I have done something like that before -- unintentionally, when I counted calories and realized i was low, but not hungry (maybe 700) and I recall having good losses in those weeks.

Mandydawn -- Congratulations on your losses! I used to run weight loss challenges at my work and there were usually only a few people really trying, it is lots of fun though.

gma22 -- Great work in the last year! You look fabulous. I'm so impressed that you lost weight while on your cruise? Was it through careful eating, were you exercising while onboard?

Nagazim -- Happy belated birthday! How did your off plan meal work out?

OnlyBelieve -- Great job on your loss since May!

Rebelle -- Congratulations on getting out of the 240s!

Ainslie -- That's nice that the 238 whooshed away for you Congratulations on your pregnancy!

cleancowgirl - You are so close! I hope you see the new decade tomorrow.

healthytobe -- Hi and welcome!

I checked in on Tuesday at 226 and yesterday I was 232 -- that is not right! I need to do some pretty clean eating to figure out how much of that is real fat and how much is water retention, I've eaten a lot of sodium this week and it's nearly TOM for me.

[Nagazim]

The off plan meal was terrible! I got about 6 bites in and my stomach began revolting. So I didn't get to enjoy it. Mexican food was a little much to expect anyways. Just from those 6 bites I felt like death and my face was completely broken out by the next morning. I knew something was causing the adult acne and it's either dairy or grains. Been back on plan other than 1 of my kids milky way mini bites that I ate yesterday as my birthday cake haha. Just one though. So I guess I'll challenge myself to another 30 days. The weight is falling off and I feel so good eating paleo that I can't even half convince myself to take a break. It works

[Angie]

Okay, weighed in at 232.8 today --- enough is enough...I'm going to do low calories today, lots of water and high protein and see if I can have a whoosh for tomorrow. It's going to be a busy day, so a good day to switch my focus from food.

Hi all,

I joined in awhile ago but hadn't posted much on this thread. But, I am so encouraged by all of you! I, so want to see the teens again; I haven't been there in at least 10 years.

Haven't been out of the 30s in at least 8 yrs. Now, I am only 3 lbs away...I weighed in today at 232!! I am so excited! So many of you have lost so much over these past months ad I love learning from your successes! Thank you all for sharing and caring.

[cleancowgirl]

Welcome Back Buffielynn! You can do this!
Welcome Rebelle!
Angie- You will do it this week. Get mad at those pounds and crush them this week.
Nagizim- Stick with your plan you are doing so well. When I have a little sugar or something not considered clean. I feel sick for days, amazing isn't it. It's like one of the alcolholic pills they give to keep people from drinking. It makes them so sick they never want to do it again. For us clean eaters and low carbers that is what it feels like.

Almost forgot to add I saw 218.3 on the scale. Hoping it stays. I am going to stick around for at least mid week in case my body Rebels!

[ainslie]

Wow, this thread has slowed down. Congrats cleancowgirl for making it to the two teens.

I decided I am o ly going to weigh once a week. Its been really hard to let go of the daily weighing. But the ups and downs were driving me nuts!!!. I also joined a gym the othrr day because it is getting cold out and while I want to keep walk/running I really don't want to slip and fall ( yestersay and today we had a thick covering of frost). So yesterday I did a yogafit class and today a bodyform (a yoga/pilates/tai chi combo). My inner thighs are so wonderfully sore....maybe it will help tone up the bat-thighs

[merilung]

How is everyone doing? I've been struggling the past few days and I'm not totally sure why. I think I might be stressed out about DH going back to school after fall break, but I'm pretty much always stressed about his mountain of school stuff, so I should be used to that by now! I'm committing to being DONE EATING for the day since I'm already at 1400 calories (that's 200 over for me).

[FickleHearts]

Hey guys, mind if join? I hit 235 this am! WOOT

I really want to be in the 220's by Thanksgiving, that's my first mini goal. Even if it's just 229!

[cormandy62442]

Hi all! I weighed in this morning at 239.2 which brings me to this fine thread! Hoping to be out of the 230s by Black Friday (which also happens to be my birthday!) Stay Strong!

[cleancowgirl]

I just wanted to say good bye to this thread and Good Luck to everyone here. My weight is at 216.7 so feel comfortable staying in the teen thread. Hope to see you guys soon!

[Nagazim]

223.2 this morning.

I'm attempting to not freak out but I got a positive pregnancy test today. I blame AINSLIE for starting the trend

Dh is on cloud 9. I'm still in shock since I wanted to lose 50 more lbs and try for #3 next summer. Guess we don't get to choose. Breathe.breathe.breathe.

Due July 8th.

nagazim - Congratulations! That's how I was when I got pregnant the first time. I was in total shock and disbelief and my ex was excited. At least you were planning on having another baby eventually.

cleancowgirl - Congratulations to you for moving on to the next thread! You are doing awesome! Keep it up

Welcome to cormandy and ficklehearts!

merilung - I hope things are going better for you. That was awfully early in the day to be done with your eating. I hope you at least allowed yourself some vegetables or something.

ainslie, buffielynn, angie, rebelle and anyone else I may have missed -I hope you are all doing well.

I weighed in at 240.2 this morning, but hopefully I will soon be back under the 240 mark. I have been keeping up with my exercise and staying within my calorie/WW points range. Fridays are my official weigh ins so maybe tomorrow I will be back in the 30's - I hope. So far I have done very well at staying away from all candy because I'm an all or nothing girl. I can't eat just one reese's and be happy. I wish I could. I will be going to zumba and then taking my 9-year-old son trick or treating immediately after, then picking up my teenage daughter and her friend...and at some point picking up their choir dresses that are getting hemmed up. I will be busy tonight, not sure what I'll do for dinner. I better eat a hearty snack an hour or so before zumba or else I'll be starving by the time I get around to having dinner.

Happy Halloween everyone!
