thanks, Emme

after a lot of thought I knew it was silly to be embarrassed... this place is so awesome and supportive. and I know I'm not the only one who has stumbled in the weight loss struggle The important part is that I am back on track!

Thank you all so so so so very much!
Northern, the one part about venting in this forum that I love so much is that I feel understood! If I say anything to anyone in my family or to my friends, I get evil looks... so thank you for you words!

Emme, thank you for the perspective! I know I always look to how much I still have to do and I forget how far I've come!

Stacy, I have to learn to look at things like that! Sometimes a pound sounds like a ton!

Serious, everyone, thank you so much!

Thaisccs ~ I don't know if you read this already, but this might be something to read through: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/weig...er-weight.html

Emme, thanks for the link, I had not read that before!

I did just up my exercise from 3 to 5 a week (aiming for six)... so I'm a little happier after that read!


(and according to Nike+, I did spend 713 calories on today's workout!)

Last Friday: 182.8
Today: 181.9

Since I was not expecting a loss this week, I will gladly take it! Exactly 2 lbs to go until 179.9

Welcome, Hoki!

Hope you ladies have a great Friday!

That's awesome, Northern!! It will be great to see the 170s, won't it?

My WI was today and I am at 181.0 which is down 0.4 from last week. That works for me because last week I had lost almost 3 pounds, so I knew it would balance out this week (and I am on TOM).

I hope everyone has a great Friday.

this morning I weighed in at 186.1

I know it's a lot of water weight leaving right now, but it still makes me happy to see that scale move in the right direction!

looks like everybody else is doing well, too... that's great!

Hokie and Emme: congrats on the losses!!

I'm sore today...might have overdone it a bit on the weight training yesterday, lol. Hoping for a good week this week as I am finally TOM and illness free!

Enjoy your Sunday, ladies!

Finally made it to this thread. Weighed 189 this morning. Hope to get out of the 180's by the end of May.

Welcome, Toonses!

Oh, holy crap...I totally fell off the calorie counting wagon this weekend. And it was fun (sadly)!!! Oddly, I don't feel bad about digging into numerous amounts of food that I haven't had in months. But, I'm up three pounds on the scale this morning (holy *%#!), but I actually don't feel bad about it. I hope some of it comes off by Friday and I'm hoping some of it is sodium and the fact that I didn't drink a ton of water, but we'll see. It was a fun weekend. I just don't need to do it again anytime soon.

welcome, Toonses (I love it, Toonses the driving cat! the cat who can drive a car!)

thanks, NorthernExposure

Emme, I am glad you had fun! but I am nervous about doing the same thing next week when I go to the beach with some friends. I don't want to go overboard but I don't want to be picky about every calorie that I eat while I know my other friends will eat whatever they want. They are both quite overweight as well.

This morning I am at 185.2!

Hi Ladies!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! I stayed on plan for the most part. I do cycle my calories (WW points) so Saturday was my hight day.

I am at 183 so I gained only a pound, probably from water...as opposed to 4 last weekend...EEK!!

Good luck this week!!

Welcome, Toonses! Congrats on making it to the 180's!

I did OK this weekend. Friday and Saturday were my planned "high" calorie days, but I think I went a little higher than I would have liked on Saturday (so hard to estimate restaurant meals sometimes), but all in all I didn't do too bad.

Emme and Hoki: Sometimes you just have to live a little We have a weekend away planned for Easter break. Going to try not to go TOO crazy, but I intend on enjoying myself.

Novelista: glad you were able to keep the damage minimal!

It's a new week, ladies...let's do this!

Northern- I totally agree that you need to have those higher calorie days not only to satisfy some pesky cravings, but also to change it up.

That being said...still stuck at 183 today...I will however claw my way lower than this by the end of the week. LOL

Have a good day girls!!

I am off to a good start this week! Hoping I can keep it up and that the scale gods will reward me accordingly on Friday
