Yes! was 203 on Wednesday, and the scale is going in the right direction... I know it's silly but I feel like if I share my loss numbers or tell anyone that I'll jinx the momentum... hope to be out of the 200's next week though!
After making it into the 180s this Spring, I plateaued and lost the drive through moving across the country. I was in the 190s most of this semester but through the last three weeks of stressful school I hit 201, and weighed 206.6 this morning (after breakfast and a few days of hosting a friend aka eating and drinking way too much!) I'm extremely disappointed but hope that I can turn that into drive to get back on track...knowing I had lost around 45 pounds and have now only lost 26 is heartbreaking!
chel3fsea - It happens! I lost down to below where I am now once before and it really broke my heart that I gained back even more weight than what I started with. The only thing I can say is LIFE HAPPENS. Take the lessons you've learned and run with them to try and prevent a backslide again. Good luck! You're so close to being back at Onederland.
And the scale is NOT MOVING at all! I lose pretty slow, but I have been trying to dip below the 210's FOREVER and these last two and a half pounds just won't budge. I'm hoping that it has to do with increasing more weight training and exercise as of late. My muscles are sore, so I know I'm probably holding some water.

Thank you for the encouraging words! Yes, it does. You always want to say "it's gone forever!" but it won't be if we don't make sure of it! Weighed in at 203.2 this morning, so hopefully excess junk I'm holding in from unhealthy habits/not exercising enough will fall off quickly and I can begin losing steadily soon!
Omg I'm finally into the 210's weight in at 219.0 last weekend with weight watchers but this week has been so tough! I baked a ton of stuff to give away to co-workers since its the holidays but I went way over points today! It was kind of like mindless eating, and I'm afraid I'm getting into the mindset that it's the holidays and I can eat whatever I want. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS! I have lost 11 pounds and want to keep losing. So I had a bad day today, but tomorrow I literally don't have anything to do or take care of so I'm going to do a bunch of active things. Swim in the morning and maybe yoga in the afternoon. **RECOMMITTED TO STAYING WITHIN MY POINTS WITHOUT USING MY WEEKLY FLEX POINTS**
Finally starting to see the scale inch back down. I want to see below 210 by New Years. Losing (and not gaining) through the holidays is going to be so hard. I have five different dinner/breakfast events to attend in the next 3 days. It's really about ridiculous. How does one even go about handling that? I don't want to be in a food coma for three days.
Lrgemmell - Contests on the weight loss so far! Staying more active through the holidays is my idea as well, as well as watching portion size. Good luck!
