Hi yk So glad you have joined us... but it looks like you are "qualified" for the 2-teens to Onederland thread!!! Wish I was, ha.

Hello! I'm popping in here. ;-)

I was on 3FC several months ago and just wasn't quite ready to embrace weight loss. Well, I am now! I've had steady loss for 5 weeks now and I think I've got some great tools in place. I'm sure there will be up and downs - but I've got my eye on my goal and for the first time, I actually think I could do it!

I maintained my weight this week. Given that I ate a LOT on Christmas Day, I'm counting this as a victory.

Zero gain over the holiday? Definitely a win.

I hope to officially be here in the 230s tomorrow. I'm really close today at 240.8. I'm doing IP.

Time to start again. Too many cookies for the holidays! Found some of those pounds I thought I lost! I tossed the left over cookies in the trash! (Hard to do, as I have been enjoying them several times a day!). I was doing so good, then my schedule got screwed up with a new job, Thanksgiving, vacation, Christmas... It's a good time to put forth some effort again!

Hi everybody

Well, I sure am not making it to the 220s this way! I keep GAINING weight, in spite of the fact that I am staying on plan and working out like crazy. ARGH come ON scale... move the other way!!! LOL

Started the year at 220.6 .6lbs til the next thread. I have two mini/major up coming goals 204/199. At 204 I will be down exactly 100lbs.

Misti, we're gonna get through this! I've been MIA during the holidays. I really wish now that I would have checked in and stayed on track. 1 step forward, and 2 steps back... You're doing great!

Weighed in at 229.8 this morning. 25 lbs gone, 2lbs til my next goal. SO excited!! Hoping I can get to it by the end of the weekend.

Yes we are!! The disgusting thing for me is that all through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, I DID stay on track and did not "pig out" even one time!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr But I will not give up!

Hang in there!! Forget those backward steps and just keep on moving forward.

I feel like a bit of a brat for even letting this get to me! I've had 7 straight days of losses from .4 to even 2.1lbs a day. Popped on the scale today and gained .9. Every morning I got on the scale, I prepped myself with little gains are JUST fine and it always comes way back down in a couple days. I also am coming up on the start of a new cycle - so surely that'll play a part. But I was a tiny bit disappointed with the .9 gain. :-/

Im sure not weighing myself everyday would help with the little disappointments but I think the focus weighing everyday gives me is worth the tiny disappointments. I just need to remember that my part is to stay focused and make good choices in my eating habits and let the scale take care of itself! Right? Right.
