YAY! The scale DEFINITELY said 207.0 this morning. That makes me feel so much better. I'm under where I was before....and yeah technically I only lost .5 lbs since thursday, but it's still a LOSS!!!

Divine- woohoo! Nice work deserves a

134.5 (!!) at the gym this morning. I really should weigh in at the same time every day but when I'm at the gym in the morning I can't resist hopping on the scale. I usually take my official weight Monday afternoons, but a lot of ppl weigh in 1st thing in the morning when they're at their lowest, so that's legit, right?

So Saturday I weighed in at 201, Sunday 201, Monday (offical weigh in day) 204... back down to 202 today so I'm taking it down to 202 as my weight for the week.

5 more to go for goal!

193.0 this morning.... sigh...

I hate scale fluctuations!! I was down to 143 but I haven't been drinking a lot of water the last 2 days and the scale was back up to 145

Good luck with the rest of your week, ladies!

Small update...down another 1 lb since my official Saturday weigh-in...209! That puts me 2 lbs away from My Halloween goal. Woot!

Oh, and that reminds me...I officially decided what I'm going to be for Halloween. My best friend and I are going to be the twins from The Shining. I'm SO excited...but concerned about wearing a dress. I NEVER wear dresses because of my chunky little pale legs. However...I am 41 lbs down, and I'm just going to suck it up and remember that they're at least a BIT less chunky than last year

Pictures to come after Halloween!

So I went shopping for Halloween costumes today and I went to a few different stores, but didn't really find anything that I liked (why is everything so expensive, and yet so cheaply made?!). I went to one last store and started in the plus size section, because I just sort of assumed that that's where I needed to be. I found this adorable Little Red Riding Hood costume and went to try it on and it was huge!

I went back and got the large from the normal sized section (practically crying at this point to be in a regular size!) and it's too big too! I tried on the medium and it totally fit! The only problem was that it was a little shorter than I wanted and I was hoping to find something to camouflage my thighs a bit more. So I didn't buy it, but I might go back later and get it.

Still, I can't believe I fit in a normal size Halloween costume!

I'm SO jealous. The plus size one you tried on is probably the one I ended up with. There was a little red riding hood costume in the regular sized ones that I liked SO MUCH more, but there is no way I could fit it. I hope eventually I'll be able to buy one of the regular ones that I've always wanted....lol

Actually, I liked yours better The one I tried on was all red and white checked and I couldn't figure out what to wear underneath it. I'm going to an outside party next weekend, so I need to wear something to keep warm, but I don't want to go out and buy anything too expensive.

But I already found the one I want for next year (in the pic below). Hot d@mn!!

Smisen - meeeeeeeeow, what a costume! Good luck with the costume hunt!

I'm going to a Beatles-themed party this Friday (it's a birthday party but near enough to Halloween and the English seem to absolutely love any excuse for fancy dress!) and so far I only have some coloured round glasses and a peace sign necklace. I don't really know what else to wear! I imagine it's going to be a bit of a messy night so don't want to wear anything too nice. Any suggestions? The only tie-dye shirt I have is back home in Canada so unfortunately that's not going to happen!

The scale said 153.0 this morning which is 0.2 down from last time I checked but I always seem to be really good during the week and totally throw counting points out the window on the weekend so I'm pleased that there's still a loss considering how much I ate on Saturday and Sunday! Only one pound left to reach my goal by Halloween - I hope I can do it!

Good luck this week everyone!

So the scale read 207.9 this morning. I'M SO SICK of fluctuating. I stayed OP yesterday so I just don't understand....all the other times I've gained or lost it's because of mistakes I've made in my eating, and I've understood why...it's unbelievably frustrating to have gained almost a full pound...when I have NO IDEA why. Hopefully I can still lose 4 or 5 lbs before Halloween, but we'll see. I'm just not used to my body being this frustrating >.<

I hear ya Divine - Yesterday I was down to 202 from 204 the day before, this morning I'm back up to 204.5. WTF?

Just gotta keep on trucking. I'm beginning to think weighing every day is not a good idea. Maybe just Mon, Wed, Saturday with official being Monday.

I used to weigh only once a week, and it was always a loss...but I guess I've become slightly addicted to weighing in...lol. I might switch back to once a week...MAYBE. lol

177 today! I may actually make my goal of 175 for halloween!!

I'm also back up...137 from about 135. I felt like 135 though
