I cheated SO many times on my diet this week. I don't know what the **** happened. I never eat candy (ice cream is my drug-of-choice) but I kept eating candy this week. And I only exercised once. Thankfully, I didn't gain any weight. I only lost 0.8lbs. Hopefully, I'll be firmly out of this thread next week!
Sorry Jellybelly but good that you only had a small loss instead of a gain! Good luck getting out of here soon! I'm hoping to be below 245 at my WI, so I can be more than halfway out, but after 2 great weeks the first two weeks, I'm kind of expecting a slow down, so we'll see.
I'm holding steady at 246.2 on the scale this morning for my mid-week sneak peek. But between having some ham the past couple of days and the way I am carb cycling, I'm feeling optimistic I'll see a loss for my Sunday WI.
My hope is to get below 245 so I can be in the bottom half of the 240s. And even better would be 244.2 or below, so I can claim my first 5% loss. I am definitely feeling it though - my knees are thanking me already!
I'm not really stuck - I know from being on this plan before that my pattern was to hold steady or even drift slightly upwards the first half of the week when I have my (relatively) higher carb days and then at the end of the week, after a few lower carb days, I saw a small whoosh and that will show my net loss for the week. So while I never take a loss for granted, I will be surprised if I don't see the same pattern happen this time around.
I'm 243.4 today. I had hoped I'd be out of the 240's by next week, but there's no way I'm gonna lose 3.5 pounds by next week. I'm okay with that though. I'm gonna choose to be happy with whatever I lose. Hopefully I'll be out of the 240's by the end of February.

sorry you weren't happier with the numbers, LebenAlles and Fitwayoflife. I don't really understand how our bodies/the scale knows when we are close to a milestone like going down a decade but I've experienced this and seen it so many times. Sometimes I've talked about skipping WIs for a few weeks, to give myself time to safely pass over that milestone. But I've never been able to hold out for that long, of course.
