Changing my weigh-in day from Wed. to Sunday morning since I plan to continue my once a week treat of pizza and wine with hubby during True Blood on Sunday night!

This was a much better week, even though it was a short one (only 4 days since last weigh in). Getting on the tread mill 3 of those 4 days was obviously the key!

I was down to 226 at one point, but bounced back a little. That's okay, as long as the long term trend is downward.

Not surprised by the weight gain during family reunion week. Not expecting much weight loss until kids are back in school in 2 weeks. It is what it is.

you guys are all doing great ....cant wait to see a difference now that i have a hormone doc that knows what he is doing and can get me on the right track.

Hormones suck!!! They say I am too young for hot flashes and missing periods but here I am!!! Losing weight and fat has made me have more TOM's in the past 3 months then I have had in 1 year!!!

I am 159.9 on my coaches scale. Her scale is ALWAYS 2 lbs more than mine!!

Great job Guacamole. Very motivating to see your weight loss!

TNCindy66 - hope your doctor can help you! Hormones do suck sometimes!

GGee - Thanks GGee! You are doing great too! I know what you mean about TOM changing - mine comes every 3 weeks now instead of every 4. It is so annoying! It seems I only have 2 states of being these days - PMS or TOM! Getting older is sooo much fun.

sorry u ladies are feeling this hormone crud....i have been going thru it since even before my first child was born...and have been full blown meanny(menopause) since i was 27 after ovary removal...i had hormone therapy for a few years...then decided to go without...did that 4 years and now im back...this time with the pellets implanted....i have been 30 hours without a hot flash...............yay.

I'm starting a calorie count today and would like to join the weigh-in thread =)

Start: 187
Goal: 163

I'm not that uncomfortable at 163, but hopefully that will be a first goal as I really should shoot for ~150.

More important than the weight loss itself - in the three months since my last dr's appointment (went on Friday), my A1C has dropped from 9.9 to 7.3, and fasting glucose level from 180 to 136.

The see-saw continues... I hope that I can get back on track now that school has started for the kids. I really want to focus a lot more on exercise, and I am hoping that will give me a little wiggle-room with my calories. My problem has been that when I exercise, I am starving afterwards, and tend to go over my calories. I "give myself permission" to eat more because of the exercise - maybe a reward? However, I lose whatever progress I could have made had I stuck to my pre-exercise calories. I think that's why so many people wonder why exercising makes them gain weight. It isn't the exercise, but the extra calories you feel entitled to eat because of it! Arrrggghhh!

ok so... i dont get it! i weighed myself on 3 dif scales tuesday all high tech digitals 2 of which said id lost 2lbs making me 215.4 n of course the scale that counts as my weigh-in says same as last wk 217.0 UGH! i know ive lost cuz i can acually feel it AND my back boobs, side bulges n boob muffin tops have disappeared in the past week! Now my frustrations r starting to kick in!!!!
