JustB1027: I hope not! Trying to get to the next thread is definitely a fun minigoal haha

EvieBaby: I did the exact same thing! I think the first time I weighed myself after I passed 200 I was already well over it (like 240s I think), and even still I told myself well you went over but it's all down from here! Lord knows why I had to tip over 300 to REALLY take it seriously. Thanks! I don't how many times I've started over but man it sucks. Congrats on passing into the 280s! Hope to join you very soon :)

Congrats EvieBaby!!! I hope to be there soon! I have no idea what the scale will say tomorrow though! I am slightly nervous. After a huge 5 pound loss last week I have a sinking feeling I might have a gain this week! I had TOM and I think I may still be holding a little fluid from that. I dont know. I guess we will see!

Grats Eviebaby!!

I am squarely/officially back in the 290s (from my little foray back into the 300's last week) at a solid 299.0, lol.

Went for a short trail walk today and then attempted to hike a hill to steep for me. BUT I got at least 1/3 of a mile up a pretty steep grade before deciding to turn back. I was more worried about descending with my bad knees than anything else, and the descent was tough. I hope to return later in the hiking season with a little less weight and my trekking poles. :)

Rodeogirl I was just thinking about you and wondering how your weigh in today went!

I did not have a gain but a .2 loss! It is not a great loss but it is not a gain so that is something!!

I've been busy - not posting as much but still reading and visiting at least once a day.

Thankfully part of the stuff keeping me busy is walking/hiking so that's a very good thing. :)

Also I saw your loss in that other thread and had a few thoughts! :)

I have been walking a lot more too! I walked about 10 miles this weekend! Not running or even going very fast but I did it anyways.

Maybe walking is part of the .2lbs thing.

I pretty much gained the week I started walking - I think maybe it's just water doing it's thing, or at least part of it.

I also didn't eat perfectly soooo there's THAT. hahaha

I have been walking the whole time. I just walked a lot more this week than previously! I also have been doing a 30 day squat challenge!

The fat is leaving.

Well it needs to get the heck out!! HA HA HA!!

The FAT IS out its just water.

Ha ha ha!! Well it can leave and take some of the extra fat with it!

You guys are all doing so well! I'm kind of at a stand still, not gaining, not losing, half cheating on my diet. It's finals and I'm super stressed out and BUSY but I have not fallen off the face of the Earth! I should be back in the swing of things by next Monday.

Sunday!!

One day at a time, one meal at a time.

Fell Down? No worries, get back up - you can do it. Giving up altogether is the only way to truly go wrong here. You've come far - slow and steady wins this race!

Haha thanks girl. I'm not too worried about it, I just had to put the whole strict crazy diet thing on the back burner for about 2 weeks, but I'm maintaining where I am and I'll pick up where I left off.
