ugh im so ashamed I had gotten all the way down to 238 i feel off the wagon and got depressed after I lost the baby and ate myself up to my present 264.3

hopefully ill be out of this thread soon ! but in the meanwhile hello everyone !

[Jenny222]

I'm 280 and i'm trying to get to 250s.

[LilMissBee]

I had gotten down to 255 before I hit TOM and a speed bump... today I'm at 256... So hopefully I'm back in the right direction by end of the week.

[Jenny222]

Keep up the great work! You will get there!

[SucreSucre]

I've been MIA! I started Couch25K and I've just been staying away from the scale; it gives me anxiety; I'm weighing in again on Saturday, so we'll see where I am! I just got down jogging (for lack of a better word! LOL) and doing a kettle bell circuit and I am pooped! Night all!

[Avezy44]

I've been a little stuck the last few days. It's TOM for me so I am at a stand still. Had a FANTASTIC Boot Camp class tonight though that I am feeling wonderful about. Hopefully I will truly "fly" through the 260s

[LilMissBee]

I'm starting to think I may not have hit the speed bump I thought I had... cause I went home today for the first time in a while and weighed myself, and I think the scale I've been using at my sister-in-law's weighs heavy.

Morning all!

Last night I got my @ss kicked at the gym! Woooowie am I feeling it today. The scale jumped up after eats and drinks on Fat Tuesday at our favorite Cajun joint! It was a blast, live music, dancing fire lady, free bourbon through a huge ice sculpture! Good Times at Bon Temps

Weighed in at 256.6 today. It's been long enough bouncing around in this decade!

[modifyeddoll87]

I got a woosh , thank goodness ! and I'm down to 261.5 so I'm soon to be in the 250's … I can't wait to move on down to the 240's thread !

[EvieBaby]

I've been reading up a storm here. People are doing awesome! Yay!

And I'm happy to report that I am safely in the 260's. . . No need to move back to the 270's thread. Heh.

I ordered a yoga mat off the internet that should be arriving in a day or two, I am looking forward to starting Yoga soon!

Enjoy the gym. Go, go, go! And funny, I just started yoga this week. It makes my body feel really good. (I noticed "feeling better" almost immediately!)

Woot, woot! It is lovely to see the scale move--but you're right: focusing on inches is even better health-wise and more inspiring.

I remember how excited I was to get under 260. And how excited I was to get under 300. Just a year ago that seemed impossible. I'm going to try to focus on my fitness levels and eating habits more than the scale. It's hard to not want to race through the weight loss but I know that I'm better off doing it slowly anyway.

I'm so sorry about your cat. It's so hard to lose a pet. Hang in there and try not to let your sadness derail all your great progress--but also *DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP* if you think you fall down. Just get back up! It's very encouraging to me, personally, to see your progress. Be kind to yourself and never ashamed.

Not sure if it's because I spent all last night sicker than a dog and puking my guts out, but I'll take it. I weighed myself on my other scale just be be sure at it said 249.6! WOOOO! I might be out of the 250's, despite the fact that my steps have been abysmal this last week.
!

Sorry you were sick. Hope you're all better now! And hooray re: 249! I can't wait to get there!

Yay! How I want to join you. Will be a month or two though. But I will _join_ you.

Please don't be ashamed of something like that . . . We're only human, and grief is a hard thing to maneuver through. I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]

Well it's TOM for me, so just as I was down to 249. . . I'm back up to 251. =( Still feeling pretty under the weather so i haven't been working out at all this week. Hoping to get back to it this weekend. On the bright side, I went to the doctor yesterday after noon and I made sure to weigh myself with all my clothes on before leaving home, (256) and then I went to the doctor and they weighed me there and I got (252). So according to the doctor's scale I'm about 4 lbs lighter than I am on my home scale. Wooohoooo! Which means if I were sans clothing on the doctor's scale I would probably be 248! Still going to go with my home scale though, since that's what I weigh on everyday.

kailpea you are soooo close to saying goodbye to us! very excited for you. TOM is lame, but at least it passes and usually that weirdo water weight does too. A huge reason I want to be under 250? Its closer to 200 than 300 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand my work has one of those old school doctors scales with the slidey bars that you level out, and you have to move the larger number block first (100, 150, 200, 250) and then slide the individual numbers over and add together to get your weight.. well.. all I've wanted since I started this journey was to not have to flip the first block to 250. It's a little mini goal of mine and now when i go to work its sooo close.

keep on keepin' on everyone!

[SucreSucre]

I can't wait for everyone to move on down!!! So many people are so close. This decade has been torture, but I'm back down to 256.2 and really feeling like I'm in a groove; with eating and my fitness goals. I would LOVE to join everybody in the 240's thread by the end of this month!

Today I have W3D3 of C25K and some weights! AND I treated myself to a Polar heart monitor!!!!!! $103 but worth every penny. I'm taking this go-round seriously. Off to the gym and then healthy grocery time, good luck!

Hello everyone, so I woke up this morning with TOM didn't want to get weighed in, but went anyway because I've been on vacation for two weeks. Not knowing what I was going to see I was down to 249.8! Knowing that usually get about 2 pounds my first day of TOM, I will definitely take it!!

So, I'll be leaving for the 240s thread and I hope to see you all there soon really soon!!!
