I have been really off plan for the last month. Luckily I haven't gained too much back. When I weighed myself a few days ago, I was at 248.6. Not too bad for not focusing on my weightloss at all for awhile. It's been a rough end of the semester and I have been taking a lot of time to stress over getting an A in my A&P class. The program I am trying to get into is pretty much impossible to get into without an A in that class and I think I am finally sure of my grade that I am not too worried about it. I'll be studying tomorrow all day because we have the final 2 exams on thursday. After than I am working some overtime on Friday and Sat so I have decided to go ahead and take Sunday to be my official restart/cleanse day. Ahhh! Everyone seems to be doing so well since I left. Keep up the good work!

Kailpea - I was just wondering where you've been! Sometimes you just gotta take a little break. Welcome back to the wagon!

247.3 this morning. Getting there... had a pretty darn good gym day yesterday. I've restarted the C25K, Wk 1 last week, and I skipped to W3 this week. I felt pretty good in the last 3 minute jog, I was steady and focused!

I was rambling to my bf last night about being less fat, and how excited I will be when I can shop in a regular store. He's noticing the weight losses a bit more now. He calls me Skinny Pants :) I like it! I also really would like to GO somewhere. On a trip, somewhere, to do something fun. With hiking and zip-lining and all sorts of fun active things that I would never have been able to do before!

Finally saw 246...5 days after weigh-in lol...it's cool though, I am gunning for 244 for this week's weigh-in. Everybody is moving along so well! Let's hurry up and get OUT of this decade!

Woo! After a pretty great workout I'm down to 245.9 today! I may have gone a bit over cal wise with some Vanilla ice cream and Saskatoon Berry Liqueur... Soooooo good!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the disapearance. Work is crazy. I am at 243.0 this today.

I anticipated that I might have trouble getting beyond 235 because years ago I was stuck there for a long time...but I never thought it would be so hard to get to 235! :-(

It is making me upset that I am completely on plan and my weight is continuing to inch towards the high 240s when I was at 243.2 so recently and did nothing I can think of to make it go up. If I had been off plan I would understand but I am so baffled.

Why can't this process just be linear???

243.6 YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm super pumped even though I know in the next few days it's likely to jump back up again.

KarinRose - Don't let it bring you down! Up and down up and down, that's how it goes. You'll get through!

Karin I like to think it is your body backing up to gain momentum to charge down. :) Hang in there and you will see the drop that you have worked hard for.

Way to go Silverfire!!!

I am at 242.8. My body really likes the 240's. :) But at least it is not reversing into highers decades.

Mara, thanks I like that way of thinking about it... Like pulling back on a toy race car so it can zoom forward! :-)

Past the half way point as of today! I've done the impossible, I've lost weight since I started working in a coffee and donut shop!

Karin I like the visual. LOL

Avezy that is impressive. So much temptation everywhere. LOL

I weigh the same as yesterday. 242.8

Mara, maybe you are right because wonderment of wonderments I got on the scale this morning and almost keeled over!

It said 240.7!

Fully, aware that it might be teasing me, so I won't change ticker yet but amazed as this is the first real loss I've seen in weeks.

I have to remind myself that this is what happens when we keep working hard and staying on plan without immediate results...

243 this morning! I'm getting so close! :)

Changing ticker down to 241 because that seems to be where I have settled at for the moment.

Good job everyone! Avezy, I'm impressed! I would be tempted by all the coffee syrup concoctions!

Woot! Woot! Watch you ladies go!!! :)

I am waiting to weigh as this weekend had some bad moments. LOL I need a visit from the whoosh fairy.
