Well getting to a new decade is like a kick in the butt... I am down to 267 already. OH I hope that this just keeps going and I can move fast to the 250s. The scale made my morning today. Can't wait to see what it says on Sunday (my big 55th birthday on 5/5 How about that?) I get to spend it with you all, as my family is out on a 2 weeks cruise and my best friend died a few years ago. I can't think of a better place to spend my Bday with then possitive people!

Well today was 264.2. I am hopeful that for the offical weigh in tomorrow that is says 263 at least. Tired of going back up and down. LOL It doesn't help that it is TOM next week.
I think the batteries in my scale are dying or something. The scale has shown exactly 264.4 the last few days in a row... I find that suspicious. Gunna try and find a new one and see if that makes a difference

Good thinking! Good luck!
Today is the 7th day of a juice fast I've been doing (for detox/curiosity reasons, NOT weight loss (although that has been a secondary side effect). As a result, my weight is dropping pretty quickly, but I worry about whether it's "legitimate". Has anyone juiced/fasted before? I wonder what, exactly, I am losing. I weighed in at 268.0 lbs today. So I'm going to celebrate that, and think about going off of the fast sometime in the near future. I'll also stay active to make sure I'm keeping my muscles/bones engaged. lol ramble! sorry
I hope you all have a great day! It's supper sunny here today and not all that humid. FINALLY! I get to do work with my door opened and a screen door to the side. *love it*
Happy Friday everyone! I was 264.8 today. It is waaay too early to celebrate yet, just weighing daily, so I am hoping the averages start dropping in the next couple of weeks. I am hungry! Not really hungry, but the kind of mentally hungry that comes with the start of telling your body it cant have everything it wants and has, up till now convinced you that it needs. Other than that, it has been a pretty good week. I was officially accepted to nursing school, and thats what prompted me to get serious again. So, I started on a Thursday, not a Monday. Maybe thats a good sign! I am looking forward to hearing and celebrating everyones successes. Have a great weekend everyone!

Congratulations on your offer of admission and weight loss!

I saw 256.5 today. I love when I get on a roll like this, but I dread knowing that it will stall for a bit eventually. Even though I know that is the pattern, it still drives me batty!
So, I had someone notice my loss for the first time today. I responded like a complete dork, stammering and changing the subject. I'm just not comfortable discussing this yet or telling anyone how much I've lost. I am going to have to get some sort of answer that doesn't make me look like a psycho lol.
Congrats to onagain1, vdander24, ubergirl, wannaskipandlaugh, Mara, & any who i have missed (sorry there's a lot of us on this thread but i know you're all doing great)
I love reading everyone's posts on here and it's awesome we're all getting closer and closer to our goals. I was so happy today when i stepped on the scale and saw 259...it's a great feeling knowing i've made it down to the 250s now
Thank you everyone! I forgot how good it feels to be able to go through this with others who feel the same. I am so excited for you and your journey, and know that we will make it. Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks again.
Vdander24 I totally understand the mental hunger. For me it is worse than actual physical hunger. It really is mind of matter.
Me too. I can hold out on physical hunger, but mental hunger is much harder.
266.4 this morning (was 266.8 yesterday which didn't stop me from celebrating ) Was worried about a bounce from TOM, but also worried that my scale needs a new battery as the first time I stepped on the scale it said 258.8. I wish!
