My weight finally decided to move a little. First it went up a pound, then rather than return to good ol' 153, it dropped down into 152 territory. That's a new low for me. Although last year, that was a new high for me. I feel much better now on the way down, when I'm eating well and exercising often, than I did when I was on the way up.

I'm looking forward to those days!

After gaining/bloating on vacation, I'm back to where I was - 152.0. The heat is hard on me this week - my tendency is to eat, rather than try to drink water.

Katiam- I know 30g carbs per day (& often less) is pretty strict but after the first 2 weeks of eating this way (which were THE WORST btw) I have never felt better. By the 3rd week not only did my energy come back with a bang, but, I also had this sudden control and will power even around my favorite foods ...namely all things sweet and bready. In the past, whenever I was restricting my way of eating, like anyone else living in this world, I would be enticed by smells and seeing things and sitting with family or friends eating the foods I wanted I would have to keep a steely jaw to control myself. Needless to say, it was never anything I could maintain. The past 2 months of this WOE and I'm feeling almost bulletproof in terms of the control I have around/with food now. I simply don't crave things- for the most part anyway- and I'm not even phased by the goodies that are always around. So thats what keeps me at this carb range.
Outside of that ramble, I think I had my whoosh today? I was 154 yesterday and woke up today to 151. My weight has been so up and down that who knows if that 151 will stick or not, but my fingers are crossed and I'm gonna keep on keeping on!
Kudos on 150 to you!!!

Hello! Joining this thread. I started counting calories and doing some exercising a week ago, and this morning I weighed 159.6! I'm thrilled to be out of the 160s. My ultimate goal is 140, but my next mini goal is 155.

[Slimmer me]

Welcome, LovesCoffee!
I'm down to 152 today, after some fluctuations this week.

[Chunkahlunkah]

152.3 today.

I've been dealing with a health issue since mid July which has made losing weight take a backseat to getting healthy again. I'm gonna revise my methods so that I can lose and recover at the same time. There must be a way and I will find it.

I'm determined to be in the 140s by the end of this month.

Good luck and well done to all of you!

Sticking at 152; at least that is better than gaining.

[Slimmer me]

Down to 151.8.

[Chunkahlunkah]

Been at 151.2 for a few days now.

Slimmer Me - Great work! Looks like you'll be escaping this decade pretty soon.

[Chunkahlunkah]

150.5 today!

[Slimmer me]

Back up to 154. Sigh.

[Chunkahlunkah]

149.8 today! I hope to still see that decade on my scale tomorrow. I always suspect that my scale is giving me a brief tease.

Slimmer me - Hang in there! Bounce ups happen.
You don't have that much to lose so it gets less linear. Stay strong!
