welcome, charliee.
i'm not gone ...yet.
i peeked at the scale today and it was 279. something.
i didn't pay too close attention because my weigh day is actually saturday.
all i cared about was seeing the second number be a 7 rather than an 8.
i'm really hoping to get out of the 280s this week.

Congrats Anawhatsme! It's been hard but I've been eating pretty healthy all week. I'm not somewhere where I have a scale right now, but I'll be home in a week and have my fingers crossed that I'll be down at least 2 pounds. I'll see you in the 270's soon!

Hi charliee! I'm at 285.5 and hoping be out of the 280s in a few weeks. I had a bad day yesterday, but I am back on plan today. I'm going to try to get in a good workout session today!

Hi Onagain1,

Good for you! One of my biggest issues is making sure a bad day doesn't turn into a bad week month year :p, I'm always making excuses like I can start again on Monday. That's one of the reasons I joined this board, so I can be accountable to someone other than myself.

We'll be in the 270's thread before you know it. I can taste our victory!

BTW - is your name a play on Onegin? That is one of my favourite books!

hey gang!
i'm 277.8 today, that's a loss of 4.4, and i am sooooooo happy!
keep plugging away and i will see you guys in the 270s soon!!

So, I've been getting into the pool every day for the past week. I'm on vacation so I have to tell you it's been a little hard to stay motivated. Mostly I would prefer to just lay around in a beach chair with my kindle and a frosty margarita. :)

Since swimming is so much easier on the joints then running I might switch out some of my running when I get home with some trips to the pool.

Oh and I also ate bacon at breakfast this morning. So fingers crossed I can still hit my goal of 3 pounds lost by the time I get home.

hey charliee.
good for you - getting in the pool.
i'm sure it's hard staying on plan while on vacation.
but you are allowed to treat yourself - like with the bacon.
all things in moderation.
and if you have food choices that you know aren't the greatest, just balance it out with a little extra exercise and water.
this is for life girl - so ya gotta live!

I highly recommend working out in the pool. We have a pool, so I work out there a lot when it's warm. I have a bad back, so being in the water is easier for me.

I had bacon for breakfast yesterday. But I only ate two slices for 90 calories. However, we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner last night after a birthday party. I think I did okay, but they don't have any nutritional info listed on their site. I only ate half of my dinner to be safe. Today should be an easy day, because we are eating all our meals at home. Eating out really does me in sometimes!

I have been gone from this board for a while. I got seriously derailed but have been back on track for the past couple of weeks. Although my official weigh in is tomorrow I have today planned and know that it is going to be a good one. I am official declaring victory over the 280's. As of this morning I am 278.4. Congrats to all of you who have already made it and keep up the good work to those of you still fighting with the 280's.

Look forward to seeing you all in the 270's and beyond...

congratulations, gagirl!!

I was so thrilled to get into the 280's 2 weeks ago, but now I am SOOOO ready to leave them behind. Only lost a half pound this week.

Just another couple of weeks now...I hope!

Congrats gagirl1! I got home from vacation yesterday and weighed myself this morning. 281.2 Whoo hoo! On vaction and down 5 pounds. I'm pretty psyched. Hopefully I'll be out of the 280's next week!

Ate a lot of sodium today... and ice cream :). It's harder for me to stay focused when it's so beautiful out. Didn't do well overall today and I think the scale will show it in the morning. But I'll be back on track tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Today is my official wi day and I'm down to 276.2. Yay me!! So I'm officially heading off to the get me out of the 270's thread. SevenCallMeMom and onagain1 hope to see you there soon!

Well here I am in the 280's! 289.5 Yesterday and this morning!!! Well lets see if there are others in this group or if its just me.... I found this thread on page 5 so we shall see.

A little about me..... I started my journey May 12th at 322 and here I am in the 280's on June 28th
:cb::broc::carrot:

My goal is 281.5 by the 12th of July so I would assume I should be here for at least a couple of weeks. Hopefully I will have others to join as the 290's club seemed more like a blog than a thread :dizzy:

I am doing the SBD and I do 30 min on the treadmill EVERY day. I just started weight training the last part of last week. I think I actually really like it. :strong:

Still trying to fit into the 24's comfortably when sitting but these darn 26's I litterally take off without unbuttoning....:dancer:

So who wants to get into the 270's with me??????
