Got it! Nice to have you back!!

Weigh in day and still holding steady at 191 which means I didn't lose anything for the week. I've been sticking with the plan so I'm going to give it another week before I adjust anything. I may even try upping the calories first if I do make any changes as they may be a little low for my body weight and putting my body on *starvation* alert. At any rate I'm taking motivation from the rest of you lovelies and not doing anything drastic. One step at a time. Nice to see more people here in the thread!

You're so close, you'll get there.

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm holding steady at 194.75 which is awesome

I'm going to try to push out my usual 2 mile jog on the treadmill this AM. I hadn't jogged in 10 days so when I got back to it yesterday, I could only do 1.5 miles. It's funny how the time off sets you back.

TGIF!! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

*dips toe into thread*

Getting closer....you guys are so motivating! Ack! See you next week?!

Come on over nonameslob! Can't wait to have you over here! You are crazy close!

Yesterday, I ate a HUGE amount of vegetables throughout the day (raw salads with homemade dressings & sauteed veggies) and stuffed down fruits of various kinds too lol. Without moving the bowels, you'd think the scale wouldn't budge (I'm telling you the volume of vegetables was huge), but I still managed to lose 1.25 lbs. So I'm 193.50 this morning. Gonna enjoy the weekend with my nieces and kids.

Have a great weekend!

@noname We're waitin' for ya! Get over here!
@Olivia Congratsss! My goodness you're almost out of here already!

I'm a bit frustrated this morning BUT trying not to be. In the past I would have a few "off" days in a week and still manage to lose weight, but this week I had a really fantastic week with a lot of great exercise and calorie deficits, and I've actually gained a pound. -.- Now, I've witnessed this sort of thing happen to others...I've just started running this week, (1. change of exercise routine), I finally did a little weights workout yesterday, (2. strength training), and I'm finishing off TOM while also dealing with a different, personal body issue, (3. potential TOM fluctuation, 4. water retention from stress). I would see people go through these things, be frustrated, and tell myself that when that inevitably happened to me I'd be able to sail right over it because I would know exactly why it was happening. But, NO, here I am being frustrated.

Anyway, I'm trying to be patient but I'm up to 198.2 as of this morning with a rising body fat % and it just makes no sense to me.

xRiotGirl - It's interesting how we can KNOW why the fluctuations will happen and still become upset when they actually do happen lol. This disparity between what we know and our reaction to it, for me, had to do with acceptance. I can know the scale will fluctuate. But until I truly accept it, riddening myself of the frustration was nearly impossible. You are doing the right things obviously.....the hard part is surrendering. Sorry to hear you are dealing with extra stress....I hope it gets better soon.

Holding steady today at 193.50 lbs. It's a lovely day. I'm going to grocery shop and then go outside to take my bike for a quick spin.

Happy Sunday!

This thread is definitely "old and busted" lol. The 190's is just not that popular so it's time for me to get out of them

192.75 lbs. I might peak into the 180's thread where it's live and happening!

*waves*

Hi folks... can I join y'all here? Finally solidly in Onederland... down to 197.4 this morning... been down under 200 for about a week (I flux pretty widely up and down.)

Hoping to hit the 180's soon! Hope everyone has an awesome day...

Hi there
Hey, we weigh the same! hehe. Welcome.

Hi Eydawn! Please join because there isn't much activity here lately I'm with you on looking to hit the 180's soon! Let's do this!

Breathing a sigh of relief today as I'm finally back down to 196.6! I knew what to expect of my weight, up until now. After a really great week I gained weight, but now I haven't worked out all week, (except for a 30 min walk to work about each day), because my shoulder has been bothering me and I've lost weight. Huh? lol..not complaining about the loss, but I'm sad if this means that my system doesn't work anymore!

xRiotGirl - Maybe your body just needed a break from the exercise and all? I'm a huge believer in rest days and adequate sleep as significant benefits to weight loss. Either way, I'm glad the scale is moving for you again!

192.50 today for me. TOM is just about here and I have a really tough exercise day planned tomorrow. Usually I'm drained of energy during the first couple days of TOM. I'm hoping to be able to push it tomorrow. Eating lots today for the fuel for tomorrow.
