214.4 this morning! I actually did something I rarely do, is to weigh in the middle of the night (or rather very early morning when I decided I wasn't getting up yet)--it was 215.2. I weighed again right before my shower--214.4.
DH says I only have to count the lower one, but I'm confessing my double weighing to all of you!
I didn't get myself up to exercise this morning, but I have a pretty empty day today so it'll get done--just a bit later. YAY for 214.4!
BethfromDayton I have dont that before just to see if there was a difference. Use the lighter one.
I was down to 211 but life got in the way. I did not eat up to plan on my work days. I find it really hard to get enough calories in when I work. I am an ICU nurse and am on my feet all day. I have a hard time eating and when I do frequently I eat lunch at 4pm because its so busy. Sooo 2 days of that and yesterday I was a slug and overate. So I am up 2lbs today mostly water weight I think. I am not happy about it but not overly concerned.
My plan today is water water water and going to the gym to get my walk done.
204.4. 204 has been around a few days now just going down in .2 increments. I can't complain as long as its going down but I will be happy to see 203.anything lol
Okay, well, I'm not in this thread yet but I DID finally get to put it at the far end of my mini ticker, so just here checking things out and dreaming LOL. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can come back here legitimately.

The scale says 214.6 this morning, so I guess that 214.4 wasn't a fluke. I'm pretty pleased with that.
I didn't exercise yesterday--somehow, around dinner time, I start feeling really woozy--I even had to sit down while DH finished shopping at Lowe's. (He would have take me home if I hadn't found a bench and told him to go find what he needed.) And I love Lowe's. So, at any rate, I took my woozy self to bed early without even a walk around the block.
I am excited about being in the bottom half of the two-teens. I'm down 15 pounds in just under 7 weeks. Pretty exciting stuff!
CherryQuin I have been going down by .2 all week. It all adds up.
Beth bummer about feeling dizzy. I hope you are not getting the flu.
I had an ok walk yesterday. I had to leave 15min early because I had to pee so bad. When I got back all the treadmills were taken. So I called it a day and left. I did walk a lot more. Shopping at a super Walmart will do that for you. :-)
So down to 211 today. I am happy about that. Edging closer to 199. I am very goal oriented. I wonder what my next goal should be after that? Maybe just 10lbs because the closer to goal the harder it is to get rid of weight.
I think the 'woozy' was low blood sugar. I felt it again this afternoon and checked--and my glucose level was 84. Low for me.
I'm going to keep my meter with me and check blood sugar if I feel woozy again. If that happens, I'll have to talk to my doctor about decreasing my meds. That's a good feeling--that I might be getting myself in a condition where I can control my diabetes and cholesterol with fewer medications.
For tomorrow, the big issue is if I can manage to get my nails done before going grocery shopping. The shopping has to happen--shopping Monday after work is part of the plan to have the proper foods. The nails, though, they are just too darned long and need to be done--and my nail tech doesn't work Tuesdays. (First world problems)
Three days in the 214.x/215.0 range--I'm really down 15 pounds--that feels good, but sometimes I also feel like it isn't "enough" yet--since it doesn't really show. I go back and forth on this. I remind myself that 15 is on the way to 25 (which is when I expect it to start to show). I remind myself that 15 lbs in 7 weeks is the weight loss I was hoping for.
My blood sugar is way down--fasting was 84 this morning. I don't even know the last time it was "normal" (I don't test it very often). (I'm an in-denial diabetic) (84 is a healthy non-diabetic fasting blood sugar)
So, I know I'm doing everything right--but I wish it were faster....
Weighed in at 216.4, down 1.8lbs this week. So cranky about it, I was perfect on plan and did all my exercise and then some! Hopefully it's just hormone issues and it catches up a bit next week. Was so hoping for a "5" where that 6 is, boo.
203.4 today so dropped a lb from yesterday lol. My boobs oh my boobs they are just totalled. If they were a car they'd be written off. They are still big but you dont lose 14-16 inches around and a cup size or two and not have them just totalled. boob job and implants for me when im at goal!! Seriously I looked back at the pictures of me when I was heavier and wow I had an impressive pair, just impressive, gonna need to buy them now but thats okay I want them that impressive again.
I just took measurements. I lost 1.5 inches off my bust this month. Omg. No wonder they are wrecked. They can stop shrinking now... please. lol.

CherryQuinn I hear you about the boobs. After having 3 kids and losing this weight mine are a bit saggy. I would love to get a lift. A smaller cup size too. I have a hard time getting sports bras because I am 36DDD.
I keep losing in .2. an .4 . I guess I should be happy that I am losing instead of playing the up/down game. So I am 210.4 today.
