Default Trying to lose 20 pounds... and it is pretty happy to stay where it's at!

Hi all! I am 35 single mother of three teen girls. My favorite thing to do is QUILT!! (too bad sewing didnt burn calories...)

Anywho, I am trying to lose 20 pounds that have been pretty happy where they are at for the past two years. I was diligient and unhappy, so my weight before had been steady... but then I found the man of my dreams, and I gained 26 (give or take) pounds of happy fat. I have managed to get rid of 6... but I am struggling with the rest! I am not a big excersiser... and my biggest hurdle is wine/beer (see above, single mother of three teen girls ). I have recently joined Weight Watchers, and three pounds came off!! However, just yesterday I had sushi (salt) and two Chelada's (bud light with clamato.. more salt) and this morning i was up those three pounds! I am hoping that it is all retention... and I am drinking water like a mad women today.. praying the scale is back where it should be tomorrow morn!!

I found this site and thought maybe it would be helpful??

My current weight is 160.5 (yesterday it was 157). My goal is 140.

Welcome to the forum. More than likely your 3 lbs is water weight. Give it a couple of days and the scale should be back down.
Best of luck on your weight loss journey!
