Back down to 207 today, not quite where I was last week but better. I've also been really sick the last couple days with a nasty cold/sore throat thing. I'm just hoping to feel better soon, right now I'm just low energy and not feeling well enough to work out.
Stepped on the "real" scale today (I have one that is in the bathroom that works fine and then the withings one in the craft room that reports to my weight loss app). I hadn't stepped on the withings one for a few days because of TTOM and heat water weight gain.
It's still up slightly, but coming down dramatically. I've been OP, just other factors coming into play.
I haven't posted in a day or so but I've been OP. Just haven't lost anything. Once I have a big drop, my body tends to stall for a while and then I'll have a nice whoosh. I can't let this discourage me. I know the drop will come as long as I stick to my plan and keep the exercise going.
People... you can be 350 pounds to start posting. This is not about being close to onederland. This is about that number 200 having a psychological hold on you. PLEASE - if you are 320 pounds, 270 pounds or even 180 pounds... if that number is "IT" for you - you are welcome to join here. This is not a thread for those who are just close and crossing over. That is the Two-teens into onederland thread.
Not trying to scare away newbies, but trying to spread my arms wide for those anywhere along the journey who have a thing with the number 200.

Weighed a day early because I have a long weekend off from work. 211.8. I've lost a little over 2 pounds this week. I'm super, super happy and that much closer to Onederland!
I think work stress and lack of sleep have gotten to me, and I hadn't been losing this month. My monthly goal was 196, and I was afraid I wouldn't have enough days left in June to get there. So for the past couple of days I upped my exercise, decided not to eat anything with added sugar except for a teaspoon of BBQ sauce, and tried to be in bed before 11 PM. This morning I got up and the scale said 199.8. My first major milestone achieved! I thought I'd be overjoyed, but I was mostly relieved. Even if I don't make 196 this month at least I'm finally back in the 100s, and I plan to stay there. My mom said that I inspired her which is also great.
After being on her diet for a few months now, my wife just hit 199.5 this week. She's dropped about 35 lbs. to get here and has around that many more to go.
