Had a good weigh in today, down 2.2 pounds, to 262.8. I'm looking forward to getting the next 10 off. Then, I'm back down to what I was before the most recent regain. So ready!
Just checking in over here after the weekend! No weigh in this week, as I hadn't any access to a scale at all over the weekend. We'll see what it looks like this Saturday.
Calluna: You and I are racing to the 250's! I hope you have a good weigh in next weekend!
I'm going to try to average 2 pounds loss per week. I don't know if it is something I can do, but I'm going to try! My son's graduation is in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to need to try to be extra diligent to stay on plan. Can't celebrate too much!
Arrrgggghh . . . I've been too quiet because I'm still hovering at 271. So discouraging because I solidly belonged here at 263. I haven't wanted to go up a board, but I have to . . . In either event, it's exciting to read your guys' progress. I hope I'm back with you soon!
Heading to the gym tomorrow after work. I really want to weigh myself but I'm just not ready to face it! I want to feel good about trying to workout and eating better.
Either way, I've been working way to many hours so I'm leaving on time (or early) tomorrow and nothing is going to stop me! I booked a facial after the workout so that is some extra incentive.
If you all leave me and head to the 240s, that's okay. I'll catch up at some point!
RedRosie, welcome. I'm returning from quite the backslide, myself!
Have a great HUMPday (what? no camel smilie?) Guess I'll have to settle for something udderly ridiculous!
Hey there! I'm not leaving the thread, but I did check out of the decade this morning. I imagine it's because there's been so much sodium for the last few weeks and it's still coming out of my system. I'll take it.
Calluna: Good job on the weigh in! I'll try to catch up, we'll see how it goes on Monday's weigh in. Glad you're still in this thread, anyway! Now start heading for 240's!! By the way, it's my son's high school graduation.
MissKoo: Don't worry about weighing yet! Just feel good about what you're doing with working out! That's awesome!
EvieBaby: If you want to stay here, do it!! You'll be back to 260's in no time.
As for me, just keep plugging along. I got on the scale for a quick peek, and it looked good. I should have a good weigh in by Monday. I just can't stay off the scale for a whole week. With trying to make my July 1 goal, I am a little obsessive. I told my son that I thought it might be a little too aggressive of a goal, but he told me that I can do it. Ok, no pressure.... I thought that was cute for him to encourage me like that.
RedRosie - I seem to have been repeating the same trek over and over due to my own backsliding
Avezy44 - Grats on the loss! Hopefully you hit your goal today!
Slashnl - Grats on the loss and your son's graduation! I usually set my loss goals high while I can. I know eventually the weight won't pour off so easily so take every lb you can get
EvieBaby - you'll be back before ya know it!
MissKoo - A facial sounds wonderful! Enjoy!
AFM: I did really well staying on track for a few days then we had a big family dinner and I felt justified to make up for the good days I had had
Self sabotage is ugly ugly ugly! If I don't take control, I know I'm headed to being over my starting weight last summer by the time this baby is born. Ugh. Day1, take 100 today.
Hang in there, Nagazim. What is your goal when the baby is born? Are you trying to keep under a certain amount? Or just keeping track for now?
I was just saying on another thread that Thursdays are not my greatest day for working out. It also feels like I am much hungrier on Thursdays. Wonder why? Fridays seem to get me back to normal, but Thursdays are a challenge.
Slashnl, you should start a Thursday Workout Challenge thread.
I'm still hanging in there, doing pretty well. Hoping to have a pretty active weekend, the weather has been so nice! Of course, there's also painting to be done... and cleaning...

My goal is to hopefully be under 250 and closer to 225 (where I began this pregnancy) by the time the baby is born (July 1). I usually lose at least 20 lbs, depending on the amount of fluid I shed, when I deliver. So that'd put me closer to 200 than 300. I just don't want to be over 250 when I deliver. I had lost 55 lbs when I found out I was pregnant with this surprise baby. I had planned to not even think about getting pregnant until I had hit goal and my set date was in August. So hopefully I'll still hit a half way there goal by being under 200 by my birthday (Oct 25). Goals keep me focused. My dr is ok with me losing a little so long as it's not too drastic and I'm not starving myself. I lose fairly easily going lower carb. I'm just hoping that I've gotten this under control now so I don't balloon up in the next 9 weeks.
Ah yes! Friday! So happy! And Friday's spin class was good! Kicked my butt! Just glad to be past Thursday's workout.
Calluna: I'm looking at doing some cleaning and yard work. Fun times. Ha! But at least it should be nice enough to be outside this weekend! I need to brush my horse too. She's busy shedding!
Nagazim: Sounds like a healthy goal. Good for you!
It looks like my sodium-shedding is done and I'm actually at 258. I got out for a good walk with son and dog last night and we went for a brisk few miles. such lovely weather is to be appreciated!
