It seems like a lot of us are battling the 190s-210 range. For me it has been by far the most difficult to kick. My body doesn't seem to like being below 200 and I have to fight every day to keep losing. I need to put a big enough buffer between myself and that stupid 2.

I sure hope so, these ounces are REDONK!

And I was thinking that same thing yesterday. I couldn't, for the life of me, get past 220. It was like this magical barrier, a wall that took almost everything I had to go over it, and then it was fine until I hit another wall at 202-200. I'm slowly going past it, but I SO want to put it farther behind me I'm trying everything I can to do so, lol... But I'll totally still have sushi for lunch tomorrow, LOL. Sheesh. Come on, 195. I'll feel better then. And here I'm thinking 'oh no, I'm on my last month of bc pills (as I take seasonique) so I know that I'll have TOM at the end of this month' and then like, I'll be so sad when my water weight will creep that number back up again. GRR. SO I'm trying to have a larger buffer so I can minimize ever seeing that 2 again.

Sigh. If people only knew how hard this is.

Wel, I was up a pound today. TOM is approaching. I did not have the munchies today, it usually only lasts one day. Thank goodness. Plus I wasn't at home, that helps. I think I need another form of exercise besides running. What does everyone else do??

I need to try this monthly goal

How do you guys lose 10 or more pounds in a month? I'd love some insight on this

I do DVD's, Apple. I like that any spare 20 mins or so I have, LOL, I can pop one in and do a little workout and I've burned calories off and I have more energy than I did before! My current rotation includes: Walk Away The Pounds, Tony Horton's 10 min Trainer and some Biggest Loser Boot Camp thing.

AND, as for me.. I'm at 199.2 today. So, the water weight is gone and I'm back on my way DOWN! I got on the scale and it was flickering to 198.8 but then popped to 199.2, so I'M CLOSE.

I gotta get lower by the 24th, because after that itll be TOM wether I like it or not. I can't complain, though, having a TOM 4 times a year is better than the 12 I was having before,

....

CW: 199.2
GW: low 190's

Keep going everyone!!!

Having that major milestone so close to completion must be very inspiring! I don' think I feel that way about 169, but I think I'll get pretty excited about 159!
I have only successfully used one exercise video, a step aerobics one. And I don't feel like it!! It's so easy with you tube and netflix these days to find exactly what you want, for very little money. I'm just not inspired right now. I like running to get away from the house, breathe some fresh air.
I am feeling sad today because my dog killed one of my chickens last night.

The coop was left open, AND the gate that keeps the dogs confined. (KIDS!!!) The other chickens are possibly hurt, definitely stressed. I couldn't sleep last night. Totally sucks. Sad.

SW: 320 (my weight fluctuates like CRAZY)
GW: 310

The only problem I have, is that my scale likes to lie to me, so hopefully it'll read right. It reads my brother right, because he's the smallest in the house, but whenever i step on it, it tells me something different. First I was 320, then I was 317, then 322, all in 1 or 2 minutes, lol. But I'm going to get back on track and hope to see a smaller number!

Aw, Apple Blossom, I'm sorry about your chicken. I know that's just the way it works in the animal kingdom, but I would have lost sleep too.

I'm down another half pound, so that's 1.5 so far for February. It's not looking great for my ten pound goal! That's okay, though. I'm losing, and in the end that's the important thing. At least I saw 209 on the scale today, even though it was 209.8, so I'm still calling it 210. I'm REALLY looking forward to getting back into onederland, and when that happens I am never, ever leaving again.

Down another .2 today. Baby steps, right? So that's *almost* two pounds so far this month! I'm hoping for two pounds this week; I'm not going to hit 10 pounds lost by the end of the month, but the closer I get to onederland the happier I am. I'm really motivated to get back there, so I'm sticking to my plan like glue.

Apple Blossom · 02-11-2012, 06:51 PM

I'm down a pound today. And I'm going to start the South Beach phase one soon. I was thinking tomorrow, but it might not be until Monday. Probably eating out for dinner tomorrow.

Of my 2 surviving chickens, one is not looking too good. I probably should have gotten some antibiotics for her. I hope it's not too late.
My running is going pretty good, I have been increasing my distance. Back when I started running (pre marriage, pre kids) my regular run was 4 miles. I'd like to work my way back up to that. I'm thinking about swimming again. The weather has been so calm this winter, I could have kept going all season

. Of course as soon as I buy a pass, the weather will turn ugly...

Weigh in day ....-3 lbs!!! Woo hoo! I was so relieved I did a little dance

I'd not exercised last week so wasn't feeling great about my progress, but this little boost will kick my butt back into the gym. Hope everyone's having a good Monday morning!
