    Amanda, congrats on making goal this month! Great job!

    Turtle, yay! I'm glad for you!

    Joy, our bodies do seem to do their own thing sometimes!

    Sum, yay on the drop!

    BFR, you are right about why we lose weight at night, although I think your explanation for overnight weight loss is just as valid, lol!

    Tuscany, good job! Every little bit gets you there!

    183, haha! Our little town's local tv station has live broadcasting of our pumpkin festival all week long. If there isn't a parade or judging going on, they just air all the people walking around. It's must-see tv, lol!
  • I'm on antibiotics due to a UTI so needless to say I haven't been feeling well. I made it down to 143.2 lbs a couple of days ago but that didn't stick.
    I'm gonna try my hardest to eat healthily tomorrow and maybe even work out. We're about halfway through the month so I definitely got time to make it to 140 lbs and then focus on getting into the 130s. I'm probably at 145 lbs right now.

    CONGRATS to everyone who is doing so well!
  • Southernbell - wowsa! thats completely amazing. are you going to set a new goal for the rest of the month?

    Sum - you're doing so well this month. That goal is already in sight! Seems like your plan is really working for you!

    Turtle - hello 150's! Wooohoooo!

    Jacqui - weighed in today, clearly these weekend binges are working as I'm a lb down. Very puzzling but also big relief.

    Woodstock - well done for hitting the 140s! Those workouts are paying off. How did you get on with those dinners?

    Keep up the good work guys - I always lose motivation in the second half of the month. Must stay on track.... Must stay on track...

  • I see that people that some people are making progress this month while others are locked in a head-to-head battle with their weight, just like me! Keep it up ladies and gentleman, we are doing great


    Well, I'm back up to 65.1 and the scales are still teasing me with 64.7. I swear it almost settled on the lower number, but then jumped back up in the last second before my official weight flashed on the screen. What a pain lol

    The reason it went up is because I had a b'day party to attend over the weekend and we played a murder mystery game. Our food was to die for Anyway, after the main course I was super full and then I had a bit too much dessert. Too busy working my characters blackmailing ways to take the time to measure my food. And yes, my character was the victim!
    It was fun though! I'll probably go out running today and get rid of some of that weight, but I do believe my TOM tummy/weight is coming
  • This morning, the scales jumped back up to 143.0, even though I was on plan yesterday and have been all week. Not happy!

    I imagine tomorrow they may jump up again, since this weekend is our (Canadian) Thanksgiving and today I went to my parents’ house for dinner and ate turkey. No doubt I will pay dearly for that. Oh well, it was yummy turkey!

    Turtle: Yeah… I’m SO happy for you and I hope it sticks! Down, scale, down!

    Jacqui: Only a ½ pound…that’s great. I gained ¾ and I didn’t even cheat!

    Joy: I know how you feel! I’m beginning to think my body likes hovering around 143, since that’s what it’s done all month.

    Minneey: You seem to have made it through the weekend without too much penalty…good job!

    183StGB: Oops…I forgot about your wisdom teeth when I suggested gum! I hope your cold is not too bad and that you feel better soon.

    Amanda: Congrats on making goal mid-month!

    Sum: Moving in the right direction!

    Hoopty: I hope you’re feeling better soon…good luck getting out of the 140’s.

    Rhiko: I hope your run does the trick!

  • I visited the doctor on Friday, and they measured me... soooo didn't want that, because I somehow knew I wasn't 5'6 anymore. And I must have shrunk. I am in between 5'5 and 5'5.5 now. (I'm going with 5'5.5) But now my mini goals are wrong, and normal BMI is 152 instead of 154. Oh well, I guess its only two lbs, and I wasn't getting there until November anyway.


    So I've been REALLY bad a personals this month. Shame on me

    Tuscany - I'm sure you'll get a whoosh soon. It must be water weight from the turkey and you'll be back to your consistant .5 lb loss per hour

    Jacqui - You're doing so amazing. Only two lbs left for the month. If I get stuck again I'm going to try the low carb thing, you have such great success on it.

    Woodstock - congrats on seeing that 149, I know it'll be back around soon. I definately retain water after I start a new workout routine.

    Southern - I seem to only lose in whooshes and maintain the rest of the time. I don't know if it is hormones... but I really only lose for about 6-8 days a month. Those days are great, but it can get discouraging the other 22 days of the month. Congrats on meeting GOAL!!!

    Minneey - I made some apple crumble too the other day. It's so yummy and SOO fall, its hard not to make fun apple and pumpkin dishes this time of the year. Your dropping lbs like crazy!

    183 - hope you feel better soon!

    Sum - You are already so close to goal for the month and the 140s!!

    Joy - my body got fixated on 165 for forever. Come on 76!!

    Hoopty - sorry about the UTI, I'm sure once that completely clears up your body will go back down.

    Rhiko - I hope it settles on the 64.7 today That murder mystery sounds really cool. I've always wanted to try one of those.

  • Well, I'm back up to 186. I guess my cheat day weight just decided to show up! Actually, I didn't drink enough water yesterday. I'll have to rectify that today.

    Hoopty, UTI's are evil! I hope you feel better soon!

    Minneey, congrats on being another lb down!

    Rhiko, your murder mystery dinner sounded like so much fun. I'm glad you had a great time!

    Tuscany, my scale is misbehaving too. I think they may need a talking to!

    183, yay on the big drop!

    Sum, woohoo on the new low!

    Turtle, ugh, that's why I'm afraid of being measured again. I don't want to shrink! I've always had a swayed back (as can be seen in my 2nd photo in this thread: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...ore-march.html). If my spine were straighter, no doubt Id be an inch taller! I don't want to find out I may be even shorter! By the way, do they measure with your shoes on or off?
  • Good morning, all! Argh, these past few weeks have really been a struggle for me. We are in the process of moving and I've let calorie counting slide big time because I'm focused and distracted on other things.

    I'm not drinking enough water (I was sick for a week, still came to work, and pounded coffee and pop for days to stay awake), and I'm not exercising a lot. I'm not going to weigh myself until October 31st because I'm sure I've done some damage.

    I am going to go for a run tonight, paint some bedrooms tomorrow, and focus more on my eating and calories.

    I hope everyone is doing GREAT!
