Well, my scale said 141.2 the first 2 times I stepped on it, and then 140.8 the third time (and a 4th time to check), so I'll go with that . It is crazy what being super strict for a few days can do! I have been really good about planning out my food and going to the gym every day this week, and the results show. I am trying to be as good as possible because we do have some friends coming into town this weekend, so I know there will be a few "cheat" meals. I just don't want to ruin the hard work I've put in, so hopefully only a few bad bites here and there.

I was actually optimistic about today's weigh-in because I was pretty darn good yesterday... of course I am well aware that a weigh in is not a reflection of just the previous day's food, and so it goes. Up. Again. Which can trigger a binge for me, especially when combined with stress and fatigue. I am trying to stay strong today!

haha I do that too sometimes if I am looking for a certain number, sometimes even just a 0.2 pound loss. Congrats on your recent downward movement!

Hi Same7 - I am struggling with binge-triggers as well. It has been bad recently. Seems like I can be strict for about 4 weeks until I start dealing with huge compulsions to binge eat again. It's very frustrating. For me, usually if I make sure I am full on healthy foods first I have less desire to gorge on simple carbs... but that being said I had a disaster yesterday. I cut myself off early and didn't eat again (any of my healthy planned meals!) so calorically it was not bad, but ick such an unhealthy day overall. I feel for you. Stay strong! :

I saw 142.8 flash on my scale a couple of days ago but it is proving to be elusive to get below 143 pounds. I'm going to buckle down again today and see if I can get this scale moving.
WAHOOOOOO!!!! Broke 140! Too bad I'm going to ruin it w/ mexican food tonight. It is ok though, I'm willing to take the hit. I have been fantasizing about it for weeks and with friends in town, I'm ok with it. I will split something w/ the BF and not get any alcohol, and limit the chips, so I should be good.

142 pounds is symbolic to me (first max weight I saw when I started putting on weight eight years ago) so I am psychotically devoted to being below that number again .... I'm within striking distance.

You can do it! My scale went up, too, and it's a freak out. But I like what Emma said about getting in our nutrients, so we won't be so tempted to binge. Protein maybe can help stave off some hunger pangs, too.
It's all a learning process, and we just keep getting better and better!

"Psychotically devoted" - I love that phrase! That would perfectly describe how serious I am about not gaining any appreciable amount of weight ever again. There's no use in it. It's the opposite of what I want. There are myriad benefits to being skinny, and I love all of them. And the reverse is also true. So I'm with you, Emma, in your psychotic devotion!
6/1 - 108.45
6/2 - 108.75
6/3 - 108.35
6/4 - 107.9
6/5 - 107.45
6/6 - Total fast - gave up caffeinated coffee last week, so just had unlimited water and herbal tea.
Official weigh-in, Sunday, June 7: 106.7
6/8 - 110.05
6/9 - 109.65
6/10 - 108.2
6/11 - 107.7
6/12 - 108.15 (realized later in the evening that I actually had 200 more calories left - YIPPEE! - and celebrated with an open-faced salmon-salad sandwich - no mayo, just a little lemon juice, on Ezekiel sesame bread. YUM! )
Would like to make 106.6 by Sunday morning, but modified my diet to include one up day, which was last Sunday, so that may have skewed things a bit. We'll see...

This is the longest I have been under 120 recently. Whoo hoo.
I'm changing my goal slightly. I used to be 25/35 and am now closer to 26/36 so I'm hoping to lose an inch regardless of the scale. That should be good enough.
Nice job ladies! It's nice to see everyone is getting closer to their goals.
HOLY SMOKES! Finally broke under 142... That took WAY longer than it should have. Now to break 140!
Congratulations, TBC!
