Congrats to all the ladies and the weight loss!
-----------------
I'm back to my emotional ways of eating..Yesterday I just couldn't stop snacking..I ate 50 points for the day..at least I tracked it and used some of my weekly points..
It's just hard..I now all of you know this.
I just want to eat and eat eat..I had a good breakfast today ( coffee, 2 egg omelette with lots of veggies( carrot, celery, green peppers, onions) on a tortilla..just so I would be filled up and less likely to snack...
Craving carbs , just want to eat lots of toast with lots of butter and jam..or maybe lots of pancakes with butter and syrup..grrrrr..its raving in my head like an addict!!!!
I'm fighting it..but it's sooo strong...
I want to lose the weight that is my motivation..gotta get past the 250's...anyone else have food thoughts like mine, what do you do to overcome it??

Lindy -- Looking good! You're gonna be outta here in no time!
Slim -- Like you said, we have all been there and gotten through it...one or another...and you will too. Stay strong, stick to as much of your plan as you can (like you did with your tracking) and you will get this too!
i'm sure i will be back here, joining you guys for a week or two. sickness and then moving, and then lots of social events caused me to take a 2+ week break from my healthy eating. i'd made it down to 247-248 before i got a nasty sinus infection, and then had to move and then meet everyone around campus. a preliminary step on the scale showed me back up to 254, but i'm not NOT NOT NOT changing my ticker til friday when i do my official weigh in.... and i might not even change it then haha.
mini goal #1 after getting back on track: make my ticker correct!
Lindy -- Sorry about the gain but it's got to come back off soon. It seems rare to see those types of gains unless there something like extra sodium or TOM involved. Anything like that a possibility?
Ok so my weighin this week I didn't change..my weight is still 257..no gain no loss...
better than I gain I guess..I fear I will gain this week..and be out of weight-loss zone..
Do you think losing 57 lbs by Christmas is feisable with weight watchers? Or what is a a more realistic weight loss for that date?
SLIMplicity - I think everyone has issues with the 250's I was 259. whatever for 3 weeks! Now its all gone WHOOOSH I know jami has had a similar problem and so has my friend rebecca. Keep at it, you will get there!
Jami- WTG ON THE LOSS!!!
Lindy- BOOOO on the gain!
Konfy0osed - Sorry bout the prospective gain...but we'd be happy ot have you back
Hectic week, spent a lot of time on the phone with financial aid, got my appeal approved!! woot! I get to go back to school!!! yeeaa!!!! my computer has been on the fritz though BOOOO but...this morning the scale said dun dun dun dun.....252.8!!!!! YEEEHAAAWWWWW
thinkinthin- I hear ya! TBH I have NEVER seen the 240's I went from a 90lb 9 year old to a 260 lb 13 year old because of my pcos :\ Im happy to see the 150's Ill be even happier to see the 240's, 230's 220's etc. And can't WAIT to see the 100's! My first goal was 200 lbs to get to what my doctor thinks is an "ok" weight, (definately better than the 320 I started at!). I think my ultimate goal though will be 160 just so I can say I am half the woman I was
Maintained this weekend so I'm still at 255.1. I was expecting a 3lb+ loss for the week my official WI on Friday showed a 1.8 gain overnight. That had me SO incredibly frustrated I took the week off. I didn't go apesh!t with food or anything but just didn't WI or track from Saturday to Monday. It actually felt pretty good to get some separation from the struggle. So, I'm feeling good this morning and ready to jump back in with both feet.
Slim -- I think 2lb/week is a great agressive but reasonable goal - which is 32 lbs. So...57 might be a little too agressive IMHO. But, I suppose it all depends on how you handle successful/unsuccessful challenges.
Dreamer -- You are doing great! Keep rocking that scale girlfriend!
ThinkinThin -- Sorry the numbers on the scale were a disappointment. You CAN do it though!!
