Sweet. The Valentine's bloating weight came off. I was up to 134 post-chocolate-covered-strawberries, but it's been steadily back to 132.2 for the past two days
ARGH, so today I weighed in at 177.0 lbs for, what, the third week in a row?? And I am extremely frustrated, because I was freaking PERFECT this week--not one single off-plan item, eating clean, tons of water, NO indulgences at all, etc... And yet I get nothing! I am getting really d*mn sick of seeing that number... Grrr... Folks, I think we may have my first official plateau on our hands here! And I'll be honest, I'm not really loving it.
Though on the plus side, this week I finally signed up for an account on the Daily Plate, so I'm hoping that by keeping closer track of everything I eat, I'll be able to get a better idea of what I can do differently in order to bust through this plateau. For example, I'm already noticing that my sugar intake is probably waaay higher than it should be, so I think I will make some big cuts in that department... Which won't be easy, but at this point I'm so desperate that I'll do just about anything, heh.
Congrats to everyone who had a loss this week!! I am hoping to join your ranks again veeery soon.
ETA: To be fair, I am also about to have TOM, so I might have some water weight today...
i got very lucky this week and lost 2 pounds despite eating everything in sight while moving. one more pound and i'll be kissing the 200's goodbye forever! (199 by 3/1 is my mini-goal).
You're 177!?!?!?! Woman!!! You're catching up to me! Because I fell off the big fat wagon, and gained a bunch back!
Oh, you're so frustrated and disgruntled right now, and I get that, it must be incredibly disheartening to stay the same weight for that long!
But honey... Think back. My fondest memories of being addicted to 3FC left you teetering back and over between Onederland and the 200s! You're 177!?!? You bring new meaning to the term "rockstar."
I miss you, I adore you, and you are a skinny mini little miss thang, and I'm SO PROUD OF YOU.
P.S., I gained a pile of weight back during midterms, didn't move for about 3 weeks straight (there's a Jess's-butt-shaped dent on the mattress of my bed where I sat studying and writing essays for WEEKS), and ate instant macaroni and cheese and potato wedges. Taa-daa. Weight gain. I weighed in this morning (whilst on my period, however..) at 156.8. Ouchies. I can't bring myself to change the ticker yet, it's too heartbreaking to admit I've gained that much.
But I'm back.
(*squeal* Meredith!!!!!! SO PROUD!!!)
And everyone else, congrats on the losses, I'll be checkin' in on you lots soon!!!!
Alright so I have been MIA for 2 weeks now while being sick with my infection and all. And I had managed to get on the scale at the docs(which by the way is what my scale is tuned to) and I was back at 195!!! Well I just weighed myself this morning after 2 weeks of eating like CRAP CRAP CRAP and no working out and I am at 184 lol....I just checked 2 days ago and it was 188-189...my Body is sooo confusing. But needless to say I am back on the bandwagon today oh and i totallly started my TOM this morning too!! woohoo for me

Ok I'm guilty of not posting because I have gained. Had a horrible couple of weeks and have gone from 189 to 194. Well I finally sucked it up and changed my ticker. I'm back on track now and have got myself back in the gym.
Carter:
I started yesterday, I feel your pain, honey!
Hope your body starts throwing down some consistent numbers!!
Leigh:
Don't be discouraged honey! It'll drop back down, just keep doin' what you're doin!
Krock:
You and me both, chickie... what with the gain, and avoiding 3FC as a result! But the important thing is that we're back and ready to kick some butt!
Angeline:
Hey honey, chime in often, it's a good way to stay accountable!
Congrats on getting out of those 180s!! You'll be in the 160s in no time!
My Update:
So, I woke up this morning and weighed in at 156.6.
Okay, so it's not a spectacular loss.... but you know what? I felt good. I was OP yesterday, and this morning I felt... less bloated, less gross, and much happier with myself! You forget how beneficial good eating can be... Hoping to most more losses over the week! Especially once TOM buggers off.
Folks, I think we may have my first official plateau on our hands here! And I'll be honest, I'm not really loving it. 
I am hoping to join your ranks again veeery soon.
oh and i totallly started my TOM this morning too!! woohoo for me
