Hmm, I wonder what is going on. Maybe a temporary plateau.

Welcome, Pandabear and irishfairy!

Thanks so much for the info. Just checked and looks like I have about one week to go.

So, I weighed in today and lost .4 lbs. Better than nothing, especially since I didn't workout this week.

Yeah, I'll be doing good to post a pound for this week but I'd rather post a pound down than a pound up. A loss is a loss is a loss!!!

so heading home tonight - which means close to a week on the road. I want to make the best choices, so that is the goal. we'll see!

going home brings up tons of new stuff, including the use of the scale. I haven't used on yet - should I start? I don't want to be a slave to the damn thing, but it may be helpful...

I think as long as you don't get too obsessed with weighing yourself, then it'll definitely be helpful.

I love my scale I weight myself every morning keeps me on track and motivated but it is addictive and I find can sometimes make or break my day

well down 1.5 only 25.1lbs til my halloween goal

I am down 3 pounds from my new original weight. (242 pounds currently) Does that make sense? That makes me happy. I plan to start running soon too which helped me last summer. (My third grade is joining a running club where at the end she runs a 5K. It'll be a cold day when my third grader runs more than me...motivation to be the mom who keeps up!)

Posting my weight today because I'll be off camping for the next few days.
224.2
^.^ I'm happy with my almost 2 pound weight loss.
I'm kinda scared to be camping and off work for 5 whole days. My job is my main activity and I tend to gain on my weekend.. having a 5 day weekend is making me nervious. @.@

So, weighed in, and I am at 174.5! 2.5 lost from last week! Now, the challenge is that I leave in the morning for a week's vacation back in Colorado. I am only slightly worried about food, I talked to my mom (who I'll be with a bunch of the time) about my nutrition goals/plan and she is on board to help and support me. I am worried about getting my runs and workouts in though. Not that I am not planning on making time, but my parents live at quite high an elevation and I am concerned about being able to breath in that thin air.

I got my ticker! Thanks duckchick for the info on how to see if you got it!
