I was 197 this morning! Woo!

Another pound loss was definitely what I needed to keep myself motivated. :D

After all my b*tching yesterday I saw 189.8 on the scale this morning. I am excited to see it but I am also not going to hold my breath. I probably still have a bit in the 190s to go.

193 again this morning! I was shocked I wasn't up!

I was down to 191.2 but this morning I was back to 192.6 I don't understand it, it has to be water retention because I've been kicking my butt exercising and I certainly did not eat 3500 extra calories yesterday. Oh well, time to up water... I can't wait until I'm out of the 190's! I'm soooo close.

192.2!

197 this morning, another pound gone. Just wish it was going faster.

I'm back to 196.5 today! Oh my god, I'm so excited!

I love that my weight loss is finally sticking and not yo-yoing all over the place like it has been in the beginning. :D

192 here. Tomorrow is my weigh-in day, and I make it a point to not weigh-in on another day. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'm down another 2, I've been down 2 consistently, for 3 straight weeks!!

192.2 today... can't wait until I see 189 on the scale...

I'm afraid to weigh this week ... I feel like I've been eating more than normal. And today we celebrated my b-day at work and went out to lunch I had a burger and fries ... and then CAKE ... blah. I feel gross now. Ate way too much.
Now I'm scared to see what damage I've done. I know it's only a few days ... mostly one major 'mess up' day which was today but still .. it's definitely going to slow things down I think for the week.

Ok. 188.8 this morning I might be officially out of the 190s and out of this thread!

Kabaker - Congratulations! I hope to be joining a "Let's get out of the 180's group" very soon.

I was 192.2 again this morning, and happy about it. Thrilled I didn't go up! I almost always lose then gain a little then lose more then gain a little again. Lets me know I'm doing everything pretty darn well. I am down 1.8 pounds for the week and I have 1 more day of my week left. I'm of course hoping for another .2 loss to make it an even 2 for the week, but I'd gladly take more! Really hoping after next week I'll be out of the darn 190s! FOR GOOD!

192.0 today. I am a little discouraged b/c I don't seem to be losing weight - i was 192 a week ago! When is this going to melt off? I have been so diligent with eating and exercise... :?:

cb1 - what's your diet like? Do you know how many calories you are eating?

Yes, I eat between 1200-1500 calories a day. I make everything from scratch. i try to eat protein at breakfast (usually eggs) and dinner (usually chicken, turkey, or beans)

here is a menu from one of my days this week:

Breakfast - 2 egg omelette with spinach, assorted veggies and tiny bit of cheese - 270 calories

Snack - handful of strawberries - about 30 calories

lunch - eggplant parm, made from scratch with freshly ground whole wheat flour, baked, covered with homemade tomato sauce that is packed with veggies - no cheese - about 350 calories

snack - apple and yogurt cup (about 180 calories)

dinner - asian lettuce wraps with ground turkey, eggplant, mushrooms, almonds, sauce (soy sauce, hoisin sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar) - wrapped in lettuce - 450 calories.

so far today i have had:

1 leftover eggplant and mushroom pizza square for breakfast. i'm not entirely sure on the calories but it was a small square and i made the crust from scratch with less oil than the recipe called for, and went super easy on the cheese. i'm guessing it was probably 300-350 calories.

snack - 2 ginger snap cookies (150 calories)

lunch - grilled boneless skinless chicken tenders with hot sauce and some ranch (250)

snack - apple and peanut butter (200)

broke down and had half a can of pepsi - 75 calories

dinner - grilled boneless skinless chicken tenders, a couple cups of boiled beets (i haven't done the research on the beets yet to know)
