Quick update here too: down to 150, yay!
And, the other dog didn't happen, but we got a beautiful lab mix who's instantly become a mommy's boy. Love him to bits!! :D

Im at 157.0 today. Geez, I went up at Easter, but at least it is falling off this week. I want to be out of these 150´s!!

Yeah. I don't know what's going on with my weight, but I'll take it. I'm at 155 today. That's the lowest I've been since like Xmas (no joke).

EDIT: Aaaaand I'm back up to 155.8. Thank you TOM. I wish it would just START already. Sooner it's here, sooner it's over. -sigh- Oh well.

torito: Lucky the impatience subsided today. And wow! 145.8! Exciting! Man, I miss the 40s...
EDIT: Nope, I take it back. I want out of the 50s NOW. Still impatient.

rainydays: Aw, he sounds so cute! I love new dogs. :D

lovemydoggiesx2: Me too! Let's leave the 150s behind! I'm done with them already (sadly, not literally).

159. Hiya 150s. I can't wait to say bye to the 150s and 140s. ^_^

i've been at 150 (some days 149) for so long, I dont knwo what happened to the motivation I once had :( And exams came and didnt go to the gym for 2 weeks at all, and ate so badly, I don't think I gained much if anything at all but I need to lose atleast 15lbs more.. my dream is 135-130lbs at 5'7. :)

I have to do personals soon, but I have to work tonight so I have to get some sleep. Just want to share that I was shocked and amazed when I stepped on the scale today and it said 146!!! Yesterday was my birthday, so that whoosh must have been my present! :yay: : D Eleven pounds to goal!

156, son of a gun. Small gain, I'm not going to record it on my ticker because I'm determined to see 154 next week. I've been lazy, gotta get back on track. >.<

TOM finally hit. Very bloated. Bleh. Up to 157 today.

In non-weight related news, I just tried making peanut flour paste (because I can't even smell PB without overeating it enormously). I LOVED it! Maybe a bit too much. I don't want to eat anything else (seriously). Sadly, I still get some of the cravings right after eating it, but if I wait a couple min, I feel full and okay.

So I'm debating getting any more, or just using up what I have and leaving it alone. I missed peanut butter, though, and this more than does the trick for substituting it. But I think peanuts in general might be a trigger for me... Sad.

Been really busy with grad school, but wanted to check in. Maintaining well at 150, which I'm happy about since I haven't really been calorie counting the past week and a half, but I think I'm ready to get started again. I just need to plan more effectively ::sigh::

rainydays Congrats!!!! What a woosh :D (And a big hug about your anxiety issues. I get panic attacks too and had to get an EKG last year to determine if my heart was actually having problems or if I was panicing myself into chest pains/racing heart. It ended up being the anxiety, which was a big relief and gave me one less thing to panic about. Hopefully things will continue to improve.)

KaeBae Welcome!

Nadya :hug:

LiannaKole Maybe try using less of it the next time you cook with it? A milder taste might give you a balance between enjoying your food and triggering a bigger craving.

I was 146.8 on Tuesday and I've been weighing right around 144.6 for the past few days. It's crazy to me because it took me 9 weeks to get through the 150s and I'm already halfway through the 140s after 2.5 weeks! I'm starting my first full time job tomorrow! I'll actually be using my engineering degree finally! I'm excited but it's a long commute for now so I'm not sure how I'll manage to fit in any running. Hopefully I will continue to lose for the next few weeks. Only 5 lbs away from my goal!!

Keep it up everyone! :)

156.4 today. This week I´m getting down to 153....if I lost 7 last week, I CAN lose 3 this week!

down to 142 from 144 for the past two days in a row.. commmmmee onnnnn 130s!

TOM is such a bummer! The 150s were extra hard for me too. And thanks, he's such a sweetheart--nobody believes he's a rescued dog. Love my pup!

Glad you're maintaining through a busy period, that's always really hard!
Yeah, I've had a few EKGs over the last few years, and have done the 24 hr holter monitor twice now, but I just have a very mild arrhythmia, nothing they're really concerned about. There is a definite cause for my panic attacks, so I'm trying a combination of meds and therapy to control them. Had a super bad one yesterday, but I was able to ride through the worst of it by waiting for my meds to kick in and breathing into a bag. Definitely no fun :(

On the weight loss front, not sure if I stayed at 146 after celebrating my birthday out this weekend, but I counted every calorie (and man was it scary!) and ended up still averaging about 1750 for the week, so not too bad actually! That *should* still allow me to maintain. Not that it necessarily will, but I'm going to try to get a weigh in done in the morning.

Hope everyone is doing well!

torito, lovemy, and val, good luck ladies! Keep it up!
