Welcome jitterfish!
Pupmom5 I feel your pain!!!!

[CoolMom75]

I am on vacation and no scale in site to make sure I'm continuing in the right direction. The food has been super healthy so far and I'm keeping track so it can't be too bad.

[Kitcherella]

FINALLY!
I lost a pound! My first after May.

CoolMom75 - enjoy your holiday
Good luck to everybody.

[jitterfish]

Congrats Kitcherella! Here's to more following suit.

Well the weekend is here, time of temptation and lack of routine. I have a girls day tomorrow which usually involves a lot of eating and wine. I really wish they would invent some sort of zero calorie snack food that I could munch on -LOL-

[Mozzy]

Y'all I have to leave this thread. I haven't been in the 180s for a bit now. Hopefully I'll be back soon!

[PUPMOM5]

I've got a girls' night tonight. My ladies are the best - I have several restaurants we frequent where I know what I can eat to stay within my points. We choose one of those restaurants and meet up. I am usually the only one eating healthy but I always stick with the rule "never open the menu." I know what I'm eating before I go; I log it beforehand and stick with it. I always have a blast.

PUPMOM5 yay for you

I posted in the 190's thread but I am now one day back into the 180's thread, weighing in at 187.8

Makes me sad but wat u said has motivated me to do whatever it takes to reach 187 by end of month.. (I know easier said than done)

As for the pedometer, I use a Omron HJ-321 Tri-axis Pedometer with Calories Burned.. I bought this on from Amazon for around $17 and have found it to be pretty much accurate so far.. There are more precise ones but I did not want to spend on it much. This one is handy and I carry it 99% of the times with me.. It is good and works for me. I have owned it for the last 2 months.

I could not post the link to it here as I am new here and dont meet the requirements yet

This morning's weigh in is 188.9 Need to move the last 2 lbs down...

niauah, thanks I just read this today because after that post I was back in the 190's. I'll have to look up the pedometer. I sure need one. I read we are supposed to take 10,000 steps a day. I wonder how many I actually do.

I hope you are back OP Please don't beat yourself up. We slip but we have to look at it as tomorrow is a new day. That's what I try to tell myself and pray that the new day isn't like the bad eating day I had. You can do

I think I was about 160 in October 1999 and gained a lot really quickly on medication--but never recovered to that after various climbs. It's definitely been more than 10 years--I'm smaller now than my husband has ever seen me--or than my kids really remember.

So i'll check in here for a little longer--but am going to post in the 170s!!!!!

Beth don't know if you are still checking in here but on the 170's. I so can't wait to get there.

Looking4 I hope to be out of the 180's before Halloween also and stay out

ZoeI'm still here, hoping not to back slide this time Welcome to the new decade. Congratulation on the baby and yay for sleeping better

Mozzy and mygirl I have decided to cycle count. It helped me before I'm hoping it will happen again. works good for stalls

Mozzy hope to see you back soon

Hello jitterfish, welcome to the new decade Weekends are hard for me also.

LOL PUPMOM5 I really need to wear my reading glasses when I'm on the computer. I just noticed that was a 5 and not an S thanks to the response to you. Sorry about that. Try calorie cycling (point cycling) and see if that will get things moving for you. Good idea with the menus at restaurants, great tip to know. I just told a friend about that yesterday but couldn't remember where I had read it.

Kitcherella congrats on the pound

today I weighed in at 184.6 down 1.4 from yesterday. I weighed 185.8 on 9/26 then went back up to the 190's so I am glad to be below that. I've just got to continue to be prepared. That way there aren't many slip-ups

[Kitcherella]

Hey all!

I hope everybody's doing well. I also suffer from weekenditis jitterfish love2b150 But last Saturday I ran a 5k race and that extra run proved magic. One more pound gone!
Take care!

[Angihas2]

Posting here to keep the motivation strong! 193.8 this morning, so baby steps away from a new decade!

[CoolMom75]

I'm down to 185 after my vacation water weight came off. Woot! I can't believe how close I am to my first goal.

Has anyone heard about only losing 10% at a time and maintaining for at least 3 months before losing another 10% to reset your "set point"? I did it after my first 10% by accident just because I lost my motivation but this time, after hearing about it, I can see how it's a good idea but I'm torn. I want to keep losing.

[hamlette]

Hello everyone!!!

After seeing 189 yesterday and 188.5 today i thought id officially move down here and join you guys!! its nice to be in the 180's but im really looking forward to reaching my next mini goal which is a milestone for me as at 178 i will no longer be obese Good luck to everyone,, hope we get outta here soon!!!

[mygirlvj]

Morning all,

Just came back from the doctors and weigh in was 182.6 woo hoo!!! I have to post here because those around me are sick of hearing me and are nowhere near as happy for me as I like and I find that to be a bummer.

Anyways... I'm on cloud nine

[thnknthin1]

Hey everyone! I'm baaack....unfortunately After gaining some vacation weight and falling off the wagon I'm putting myself here until I get this weight off again. Nice seeing some familiar names here
