Soooo.....I pigged out on pizza last night and this morning I was up 2 lbs! but I'm hoping at least a little bit of it is water weight from the sodium. I have to say though, it was delicious :D

CW: 229.0
GW: 223.0

Barb- YAY for new lows. I hit another one today. YIPPY!!!

Lori- I have noticed our similarities also. You are losing faster than me though, but it's all good. It sucks to lose weight at 49 years old. It's tough.

Using an old dial scale is interesting. Trying to see which tiny line it's pointing at is not my favorite thing. The good news is I'm down from what it showed me on the weekend, so I'll take it!

Sw: 252.2

GW 217

Thanks Lori :hug: I'm excited.... getting so close !



YES YOUR SUPER CLOSE!!!!!:D

WAY TO GO!:hug: ~oh and your nearly to 5lbs lost also!!!!!:carrot:

I had to go buy new batteries for my scale today ~Since I am a scale addict and step onto it everyday 4 times or so a day and each time I step on it 2 to 3 until I get a steady weight so About 8 to 12 times a day. LOL!
Anyways, I am going to start weighing once a week~(or so thats my plan ~To weigh every Sunday Morning.)
So I will see how that goes.

I am just a penny pincher and batteries was cheap but knocked me out of getting a bag of spring blooming bulbs I wanted to buy ~LOL!
So I figure I can start weighing once A week! (So far I skipped today~But thats cause my battery was dead ~HAHAHAHA~not to say the temptation of a nightly weigh might be there!)


Anyways As long as there isn't a winner by Sunday (if I can hold out that long without weighing :o) I will report my weight then.



Ms. Perception~those old scales drive me nuts! I hope you get a digital one again soon......At least you know your still losing well though.:D

No change today...

SW: 231.8
CW: 233.0

Ok I'm going to edit this because my old scale was wrong. I read 2lbs higher than every other scale I tried at ppl's houses, so I ditched that one and am using my boyfriend's tanita scale. I'm just going to adjust it here so that it matches my ticker.

Alright let the games begin........ And no excuses Ebony!!!!!!!

Wow Barb--you're getting close! The scale finally moved a little bit for me today and I'm close to my starting weight for this challenge, but I'm going to try not weighing in until Sunday (I know, only one day, but that's killer!). I'm eating out something good and salty and fattening tonight, so I know I'll be up tomorrow. Hopefully I'll maintain some self control so it won't be permanent.

SW: 228.0

Couldn't weigh this morning, so nothing new to post. Great job, everyone! Looks like several people are moving in the right direction.

GW 258


I am almost down another five.. I can feel it!!! :D

Just got on the site for the night... to calm my nerves I have anxiety really bad. So sometimes I will log on at night & read posts.

Ms. Perception & losing4nother ~THANKS SO MUCH! I was having a low day ~thinking to myself My belly will never get a decent size~and having a huge issue from putting away the scale LOL~
So I grabbed out the scale did a nightly weigh which I do not count~(it's just a habit~I always weigh more at night LOL) Anyways, It felt better to read what y'all wrote then to get back on the scale ~hahaha~You both Made me feel so much better about my self.

(I always stay on plan~I am use to eating within my calories...But was trying to break my scale habit~but I decided It's better for me to weigh everyday several times a day~Keeps me more motivated.)

I will be weighing in 2morrow.

p.s. I have decided As soon as my belly goes down I am maintaining No matter what my weight is .Even if it just takes 15 more pounds.....I love the new me other than my belly ~Which Is honestly big and my worst feature right now...other than that I am happy with the rest of my body~Well I take that back ~my teeth are bad ~But I am getting them done all next month...Just repairs....Then I will be back to decent looking teeth. I HOPE.
So I must lose most of the belly.
I am using an ab slide machine and it seems to be doing the job.

~Well off to browse.THANKS AGAIN GIRLS!
HUGS TO YA BOTH!
