I am going to go with this morning's weigh in, even though yesterday's was 151. I ate like a horse at a BBQ tonight and am not anticipating a good number on the scale tomorrow morning. I might not weigh in. I hate it when my self control leaves me. Anyway, I did well overall this week, and I hope to get back on the wagon tomorrow.
As for me...I am really beginning to wonder if it is possible for me to lose and keep losing! I went ahead and weighed today because I just knew I had lost some b/c my clothes are fitting better and my waist is almost an inch smaller! But....no....I GAINED 2 pounds!!!!
I don't know if it is my thyroid issues and my meds aren't right or what. I am exercising and watching what I eat....
I am just a little discouraged this week. Thanks for the shoulders to cry on.
KelStand - If you kept losing inches and your clothes kept getting looser, would it really matter if the number on the scale stayed exactly the same? Please do not think I am lecturing, I am saying it as much for my benefit as yours.
KelStand - I will say that I have had weeks like yours, where my clothing seemed looser and I felt smaller, but the scale either went up or stayed the same. I think that your body is changing and shrinking, it just sometimes takes awhile for the scale to catch up. I don't have any scientific explanation for this phenomenon, but I think that if we keep eating right and exercising, the scale will eventually show the results.
Seeing my numbers laid all out there in a weekly progress report makes me a little ashamed of myself for being upset when I don't lose in a given week or I gain back 1 lb. In the grand scheme of things when it is written out like this I am doing awesome and I need to keep reminding my self of that.

This!!! You are doing awesome and so is everyone in this fight! I think this thread is so helpful, even though some weeks I hate having to post a gain. It's all in the big picture.

I was 163 this morning!!! Yeah! The funny thing is I probably fudged on my diet more this week than I have in a while! I also have been slack on keeping track of my calorie intake! Oh well....I am down a couple of pounds from last week so I am happy!
I can not wait till I will be posting numbers in the 150's! I know it is coming!
Keep up the good work everybody and have a good week!
May 31: 199.8
June7: 193.6
June 14: 192.0
June 21: 193 (I am sure the bounce is temporary)
June 28: off the grid :P
July 5: 194.8 ...Another reminder that if I do not count my cals I gain. Back to counting and the numbers will come back down soon.
