Hello everyone! Hopefully I'll be here and gone in a few days. I keep bouncing between 158 and 161. Drinking water like crazy today trying to get back to the 150something I saw JUST YESTERDAY! Boo!
I know I have a mental block at 157. That's the lowest I've weighed since losing weight 3 years ago - so lowest for almost 13 years. I THINK I'm ready to bust past that but every time I get close, my weight jumps back up like it touched something hot. I am hoping that once I get past it, easy sailing is ahead for awhile.
Glad to have you here briefly BeachBreeze I am the same way though I know what my issue it ... yours is just water so it will settle in the 150's soon, Keep up the great work I like that ---> my weight jumps back up like it touched something hot
hiddenstar you will be outta here soon Keep up the great work
holy cow! I've totally forgotten there was a new thread and haven't posted
love2b I'm not out of the woods yet! got a pound of water hanging on...not bad though because I'm mid-cycle and this always happens. But worse! I will take the pound and try to kill it by tomorrow or Wednesday.
VEGAS in 28 days!!!!! Got two bathing suit tops on order and I BETTER like one of them! LOL I'm SO EXCITED! Also because I only have 3 weeks left of school and then finals
My eating was out of control for 4 days. . Now its been 2 days since I've been back on plan. I think I'm getting too comfortable with the weight my body is at right now and am losing sight of the end goal help anyone? ??
Syckgirlsfv, I thought you had left us Well you won't be here long for sure. 28 days till Vegas. I sure hope I can permanently see the 150's by then
hamlette did you read my post, I'm in the same boat and this is only day one of being OP. Hopefully it will be a totally good day since the day isn't over yet. I got comfortable four years ago at 165 and was trying to keep from doing that this time and thought I had but there must be something in the back of my mind that says this is ok ... so not where I want to be. We will get through this
Yes, I love this lively thread! Thanks for the kind words, love2b, and for your words of encouragement for everyone else.
Hardly ate anything today. Just was not hungry and didn't even think about it. That is weird for me. Sucking down the water and just went for a long walk with the dog.
I was kinda surprised I wasn't down another 1 today but it's coming. In fact, I feel like I'll be down 2 by next week. Dunno, just a feeling.
Gonna do arms again tomorrow, I think, and then legs again on Wednesday night. (I really should be squats and lunges today tho)
Mad Donnelly I love this thread also ... and it's gonna be great to see all of you move on to the next decade I will follow suit in June some time I hope. I like the days when I'm not hungry but keep in mind you may be a little hungrier in the morning Good job on getting your water in ... you should definitely see a nice number tomorrow.

It's so hard, innit it, to be happy with who we are today, to enjoy the fruits of our labors that have brought us this far, but to also still stay motivated and empowered to keep improving and be even better ... someday ... when we so desperately want to be "done". I want to feel that newfound happiness everyday; but the truth is, it's those days when I don't feel my best, when I look in the mirror and go, Where did my reflection from yesterday go?, that smack me on my tush and get me re-focused and keep me going.

THIS!!! SO- TOTALLY- ME for the past 6 weeks. All of a sudden, I have become so complacent with myself and yet I'm still expecting the same results! Sometimes I have the impression that I'm on a small hiatus of maintenance before moving on with my weight loss again! UGH! But hey we're not giving up are we!?
Syckgirlsfv Ow, poor little darling! Thank God you found your way through.
love2b Do you have a plan to fix the gain? I was wondering if TOM didn't have any hand in that!? If that's the case, then you'll be better in a matter of days!
For me today, it's a cute little loss but it's still a LOSS! LOL

Hamlette - I know it's hard. I stayed at same weight for almost 2 years. But I think back if I didn't give up, I would be there already by now. It's a fight but so worth it. Set goals and rewards when you get there.
Happy to see 161 again. The kids have only 3 weeks of school so I plan to exercise everyday while they are at school. I normally only do 3 days a week. It's adding in only 5 extra days so hope it works.
Plus, i'm signing the kids and I for a 5k color run this Saturday. Think that I will maybe walk most of the way. It's a last minute thing but it's to raise money for a local kid injured in a car accident. I've never done a color run. Heck, last time I did a 5k, I was 16 years old.
I am joining you all Ive been a member for a long time and through pregnancies and health issues my weight has been up and down. Just weighed today and I'm only 1/2 lb away from my heaviest ever weight and I'm slightly disgusted in myself! Time to knuckle down again.
165.5 today.
I am the same way though I know what my issue it ... yours is just water so it will settle in the 150's soon, Keep up the great work 
I like that ---> 
you will be outta here soon 
help anyone? ??
