hiddenstar welcome back! this thread has been silent for the most part. Been talking to myself a lot, but it's summer and I'm sure everyone has stuff going on. Nice to see you back
I just thought I'd stop by and let you know that I'm still alive
I'm back from Austria, I survived about half of the scheduled "oooh, there'll be a lot to eat, so let's EAT!" events, I survived all of the World Cup viewing parties, both public and private, and all the stuff you (okay, I) apparently eat and drink at such occasions and I almost made it through that tiny experiment of mine, you know, the one where I had planned on shunning the scale for the entire month of July.
I almost made it. Almost. Then I got curious this morning. I circled the scale a few times. There was a fair bit of bickering about the issue between TOM and me (because, guess who came by for a visit last night. Yep, sure enough...), but finally TOM and I stepped on the scale.
156.8
That's two pounds down when in all honesty I had expected a gain. I can't claim I deserve it because um well... you know... but
So I guess I'm officially back and I'm officially back in the game.
Hi there!
Hiddenstar, that'll be off before you know it. My vacation transgressions, as long as I resume normal function when returning home, take me about 48 hours to rid. Last time, I "lost" 5 pounds overnight and got back to where I had been. DEF. water weight.
Jente, only 2 pounds? That's excellent. No such thing as "deserving" it or not. You have a right to enjoy life, which, yes, includes eating when events or situations warrant. It's just that in between, we must eat right. Which is fine.
155.6 - up .04. must be sodium bloat from El Pollo Loco...wouldn't be the first time.
going to Cheesecake Factory with DH, our pastor, and pastor's wife. I already know I'm have the skinnylicious mexican tortilla salad. Plus some sourdough bread, of course.
Ive been 159 for two days now so I thought I would pop over here and say hi! I was 159.4 this morning.
Also, my ex MIL noticed my weight loss today and said I had lost quite a bit of weight. This time I was able to just say "thanks for noticing." Instead of just stuttering around. So, that made me happy.
pinkhippie nice to see you here! it's too quiet these days...
155.6 again today...going for a 25 mile bike ride soon. I had such a great dinner at Cheesecake Factory last night - Skinnylicious Mexican Tortilla salad which I didn't finish, and S'mores Galore cheesecake! ARGH! ha ha at least DH and I split the cheesecake, but now we really need that 25 mile bike ride!!!

whopoopwrasse it's in the featherweight forums Congratulations on being so close to the next decade.
Pinkhippie for you on being confident about the way you look and on the new decade
Syckgirlsfv, look at you moving through the 150's
Mad Donnelly, I love your outlook on things
JenteIsving, good for you This shows that you are in control
Well after all of my binging and seeing 166, I am happy to say that I am back down to 157.0 as of today. Took awhile but I did it. It helps that I can only eat what I take with me to work. So nothing in between and when I get home it's shower, lite dinner, bed. My hope is to get to 155 by the end of this month and then 150 at the end of August I can do it as long as I control myself on Sunday my only day off
I may have some water weight tomorrow...went with DH and had 2 mojitos this evening, then had chinese food. I had Singapore noodles, which I have only eaten half of, and we have a couple shots of rum. It's fine...I have made my peace with alcohol and don't drink it sunday thru thursday! May have a beer or two on a sunday but other than that, NADA. with all the bike rides it really helps! I was still only 156 late afternoon today...going well. I plan to be in the 140's before VEGAS!!!! LOL yeah another Vegas countdown
very tired from the long ride today...won't last long tonight
goodnight ladies!

Well, end of July and I think my losing is back down to 2 pounds a month. And you know what? I'm really okay with that. How did that happen? I am not known for my patience. It combined with stress and its effect on my health is something I really like to work on about myself, so this is really a cool thing actually. Am I going to be instantly any happier when I'm at goal? No. I don't feel "skinny" but I don't feel fat either. So when it happens, it happens.
Ugh, scale didn't move after a week. =P I worked out a lot so I guess I just ate too much sodium or something. I dunno! Hopefully next week will bring some type of loss.
Mad Donnelly - I'm not known for my patience either! Grrr.
Today, I really start my refocus. I have had a very hard time getting back into routine after vacation. I'm 161 today. But I still think that I have a lot of water weight cuz I haven't been eating the best. I'm starting to log my food and I got in a workout this morning at the gym.
Syckgirlsfv - your doing great.
Lildazed and mad Donnelly - I'm sure none of us are good at patience with weight lost. It so hard to work hard and get little results.
Love2b150 - congrats on making it back into the 150's.
Pinkhippie - woohoo! For making it into the 150's.
I was 159.4 this morning.

I can do it as long as I control myself on Sunday
