.4 is most definitely better than nothing! The whoosh is coming, I know it haha

JustB1027 05-05-2013 11:07 PM

Ha ha ha! Thanks I hope so!!

Slashnl 05-06-2013 11:44 AM

ThinkFit, you are so close! Hard to be patient when you're that close.

JustB, you did better than I did. :) I had a loss, .2. A loss is a loss, but hoping for a little more next time. I wasn't great over the weekend, though, so my fault probably!

Went back to Spin class today. Always a good workout.

JustB1027 05-06-2013 01:16 PM

Last week I was .2. I think my problem is I am using a few of my ww weekly points.

rodeogirl 05-06-2013 02:13 PM

I'm doing more and more hiking and feeling great but the scale is NOT cooperating. Back over 300, AGAIN!

Man, I really hope Elvis doesn't have the problems I've been having. I've been on plan though not perfectly - but this bouncing around 300lbs is maddening lol.

Well it will just make getting into the 280's that much sweeter. :) Then I'll know the 300's are really behind me!

JustB1027 05-06-2013 02:25 PM

You are dealing with it better than I would!

Slashnl 05-07-2013 11:43 AM

Wasn't it great to see Elvis make it to 199!? I'm excited for her. What a great accomplishment. Hopefully we'll all be there soon, too.

Rodeogirl, I'm impressed with your attitude! I can learn from you how to behave!

rodeogirl 05-07-2013 05:07 PM

I dunno if it's good or bad, lol. I just know that I have to keep going and not get frustrated when it's tough.

JustB1027 05-07-2013 07:26 PM

I am exercising more this week and sticking more strictly to my points. I hope to have a few extra each day.

thinkfit 05-07-2013 09:52 PM

Hope everyone's had a good start to their week! As of this morning I'm sitting right at 290, hopefully it goes down instead of up.

JustB1027 05-07-2013 11:47 PM

Good job! You will be leaving us quickly!

EvieBaby 05-08-2013 02:23 PM

Well, I really like you guys so I decided to pop back up here for awhile. Forgive me for feeling a bit sad about it though! My birthday kinda derailed me. I'm still down from my April 20 start date, but I'm solidly back in the 290s (293.2 to be exact).

Will you accept me back even though I hope to desert again soon? :) :)

Got in a 5 mile hike today with about 800' of elevation gain. It was a good workout. :)

Yay, awesome FUN and a great workout. :) Good for you! :carrot:

I hear you on the annoying up and down of the scale. And it is TOTALLY possible. I am rooting for you! (But even if the doctor's scale doesn't comply, you're doing great so that's the main thing!)

Cheering madly for you! :)

JustB1027 05-08-2013 02:50 PM

Of course we will welcome you back! Make sure when you leave to take us with you!

thinkfit 05-08-2013 03:34 PM

Omg... I DID IT! I can't believe it! I literally stepped on on the scale like ten times this morning, moved it around thinking something was up, but every single time I got on... 289!! I'm praying this isn't temporary!

Isn't it the worst? Thank you!! I'm pretty sure the doctor's scale will be a little over 290 because of clothing, but it will be a lower than last time anyway!

Can't wait to see you ladies in the next decade! You can do it!!!

JustB1027 05-08-2013 11:07 PM

YAY!!!!! Way to go!!!!!

rodeogirl 05-10-2013 01:24 AM

Great job! We'll get there eventually!! :)

Two days in a row of the scale being 297 so maybe, just MAYBE, I can say goodbye to the 300's...

Work is busy so I'm reading more than I'm posting but I'm still here!!!

That is super awesome news! Especially with work being so busy (something that can sometimes derail a person). I think you HAVE SAID goodbye to the 300s. Yay and congrats!

rodeogirl 05-10-2013 10:51 AM

Well I keep saying goodbye, then hello, then goodbye again. :)

Today came in at 296.0 so that was pretty exciting. Hoping to show a good loss for this week!

Slashnl 05-10-2013 11:38 AM

Good job, Rodeo! 296 is great, and I think you'll stay out of the 300's now.

rodeogirl 05-11-2013 10:37 PM

I saw 300 again when I hopped on the scale at night, but that doesn't count. Today was a-ok at 297.

Although dropping 10+ pounds a month sounds wonderful, this time around I'm going with slow and steady wins the race. I stopped my food diary because it was stressful, so I know I'm eating more calories than a few weeks ago. But the way I'm eating now is truly something I can do for life so a slower loss is ok for now.

We'll see how it goes, I might get impatient and shake things up. :)

JustB1027 05-12-2013 02:51 PM

Well I finally got a whoosh! 293.4 this morning!

rodeogirl 05-12-2013 02:59 PM

nice!

You'll have to warm up the next decade thread for me. :)

JustB1027 05-12-2013 03:17 PM

You aren't far behind me friend!

Fantastic work! I think you're out of the 300s for good now too. Hooray! Keep up the excellent work. :carrot::carrot::carrot:

Slashnl 05-15-2013 12:08 PM

Just made it through my daughter's high school graduation. It's been a hectic weekend plus 2 days!! Ready to get back to normal life. I'll weigh in on Friday.

Sounds like things are going well here!!

EvieBaby 05-18-2013 11:16 AM

Well, I hit 289.6 today, but if it's all right with you guys I'm not rushing off just yet. As I learned at the end of April, the scale is cruel when there are mere ounces involved. I'll keep visiting here 'til the end of May. Hopefully some of us will leave this thread together then! :)

Congratulations! A big event for the whole family. Hope "normal life" is treating you well. :)

CONGRATS!!!!!!! :hug: Stay as long as you like!

There are no hard and fast rules about posting here. It's all about being around people in the same boat. :)

EvieBaby 05-20-2013 11:28 AM

Thanks, Rodeogirl and JustB. :)

I'm extra pleased today. Was away all weekend, but came back with a loss. Yay!

Slashnl 05-20-2013 01:08 PM

Congrats Evie! Good work!

rodeogirl 05-20-2013 03:17 PM

How's everyone doing today? Who's joining us? Who's leaving!!?

Hope everyone is doing great and will be moving to a new decade soon!!

Sorry I haven't been posting as much. Just been super busy.

JustB1027 05-20-2013 10:19 PM

Rodeogirl I was getting worried about you!!!

rodeogirl 05-20-2013 10:55 PM

I'm here - actually saw 289 this morning on the scale, out of no where, I expect it's more of a fluke than anything. Doesn't count until Sunday anyhow!

I'm here, mostly lurking these days just trying to deal with life, bills, etc. :)

How's life with you??

JustB1027 05-20-2013 11:13 PM

I am doing a lot more lurking than posting. My scale is crazy. Finishing up the school year with my daycare job and getting ready to start the summer camp school age job! I got talked into auditoning for a community theater play and somehow ended up with a part! So getting ready for a crazy summer!

Slashnl 05-21-2013 12:25 PM

Sounds like everyone is busy right now. I haven't been on the scale at all for awhile. I need to do it, but I'm concerned about not being diligent enough. Ugh!

I'm doing well. Trying to eat lots of veggies, less carbs. I love vegetables, to that's not a problem, but I've been crazy busy cleaning the property and buildings in a new place to call home, plus with work, so it's hard to not just eat fast food. I have been resisting though, so good!

I'm down to 286.8 but I'm not leaving 'til the end of the month because a body can flucuate a bit (as I learned when l leapt too soon last month--but that was at 288.8, so hopefully I won't jump up again).

Hope your busyness is feeling exciting, not stressful!

Here's to a great end to May for us all!
