Okay, so I was running REALLY late for school this morning. I woke up at 7:35 and my class starts at 8:30, so I was still stumbling, and half-asleep when I dragged myself to the bathroom and weighed myself. If I'd been truly awake, logic would've informed me that catching the bus in time was a higher priority than weighing myself obsessively. I was either... 156.2, or 156.8... for some reason, I can't remember. EITHER WAY, I was
under 157 which was my goal for yesterday, and that made me SUPER pumped.

Yay!!! I get significantly heavier during my TOM, so I bet you're gonna down when it all finishes up!

Lol, believe me, I'm usually the same way. I think the thing that I'm finding about this new diet is that I don't feel as restricted as I normally do... with "the rules" of my diet, I could still eat french fries if I really wanted to, or potato chips. I could still have ice cream, or any other sweet dessert that doesn't have gluten or wheat. The fact that I know I'm ALLOWED to have these things... makes it a lot easier to say no to them, surprisingly! Because I could indulge a little bit and not kill myself with guilt, ya know? Hopefully this wheat-gluten-free thing keeps running its course.
My mother is a firm believer that something about the removal of wheat/gluten from your diet must kick-start your metabolism or something, because she hasn't changed her exercise level, and has still kept over 60 lbs off for over a year... hopefully it'll work the same for me, since I AM adding a bit more exercise.
YAY!!!!! Good call on changing your ticker!! Look't you at 211!!!! That's so exciting!!!

YAY! Hope it was down a little bit more for you!!
...seriously, how's your back? Every time I see you post, I think, "Man, I hope her back is doing better." (That's a bit weird of me, huh... I've thrown out my back a couple of times thanks to heavy book bags, so I wince for any pain that picking up your so caused you...)

Hey sweetie, don't put TOO much stock in your mini goals. You can't always control when your body decides to hit a plateau... so we can't always realistically meet or beat the time goals that we set out for ourselves.
That being said, if you've hit a plateau despite being hardcore OP, here are a few tips to break through your plateau!!

Hehe, yay for being a little obsessive.

I just try to learn not to freak out over the number, because I know there will be little ups and downs.

Congrats on the loss!!!!!!!!!!!
