OMG 11 pounds since Sunday!! That's amazing! At the rate you're going you should be in the 240's thread by the end of the week. haha

lol I doubt that, it should start slowing down soon.

Does anyone else step on the scale twice? Mine never says the same thing the 2nd time :)

Anyway... today I weighed in at 258.0 and 257.8 so I'm feeling good! I have been really good all week because I knew I'd have some garlic noodles last night and they were so good!!!

3 lbs away from my first mini goal!!!

Haha I always step on 3 times. I have a digital scale and half the time it says a completely different weight the first time I get on. The second and third time always are correct, but it is funny that it does that. Good job on dropping the lbs. I on the other hand am stuck at 259. My TOM is starting today or tomorrow and I have started lifting weights so I think my body is retaining a bunch of water (hopefully).

Yeah the water can kill you... I stepped on the scale today and it said 259.0 and 258.6. So that means I manager to gain almost pound yesterday by eating ramen (soup w/noodles) and then another soup and a salad for dinner. I figure it has to be the salt in the soup. Tomorrow's my official weigh day and I'm not feeling super positive considering I had my left over soup for lunch today and we are going out to eat tonight. Going to eat well at the restaurant, but it's still a restaurant...

Still trying to get to 255 by Feb 1st and only have 4 lbs to go... staying positive about that goal :)

The 270s and 260s were an absolute monster for me and the 250s seem to be blowing by quickly (knock on wood). Isn't it amazing how some decades are so much easier than others?

I'm 3 lbs down for the week too! YAY!

I think a lot of it has to do with what's going on in our lives. If I'm in control, I can lose weight so much easier. But if I don't know what's going to happen over the next few days, where I'm going to eat, if I'll get to exercise, that is when I start maintaining over weeks and not losing.

I've started stepping on the scale 3 times instead of 2 and taking the middle number. So today was 256.6, 256.8. and 256.4. I'm going to say that today I weight 256.6 :)

Yesterday was a scary day for me. I unexpected wound up at a thai restaurant with no nutrition information! We were going to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, where I can eat naked tenders and a salad for under 700 calories, but the wait was too long before the game. So I had spicy (rice) noodles with chicken and just ate half the portion. Today I'll have the rest for lunch.

Hey guys!! I had a 2 bad days and lost track but got back on yesterday and finished the week with a 10lb lost.

WOW! AMAZING! Gosh, if only I had the control to lose 10 lbs in a week :D

You do! Control is a big problem with me too. You just have to put your mind to it because you can do anything!

This morning I was down to 256 :D Almost halfway out the 250's!

I'm also at 256... hoping to weight in at 255 on Sunday so we can schedule our special date :)

Then I want to be 249 by my birthday on Feb 7. It would be a sweet gift to be on that side of 250 :)

I think my husband and I are going to Hawaii either this summer or this fall with his family. I am the only overweight person that would be in the group.

Once I get through the 250's I will be able to take a helicopter tour without having to pay extra for weighing too much. We were in Hawaii last May and I wanted to do it, but I was mortified of having to pay extra, so I didn't. I am the planner of the group and knew if I didn't mention it, nobody else would plan to do a helicopter tour.

Made it to my goal for the week! Weighed in at 254 this morning so we are going out to one of my favorite restaurants tomorrow! Don't worry, I can stay mostly on plan there :)

How is everyone else doing?

It looks like everyone is on their way out of the 250's.
This morning I was 251, so close yet so far away :)

You guys are all doing so well! I will miss you when you're gone, but be proud of you :)

Hopefully I will see you soon in the 240's :D
