Default Getting out of the 260s and 250s

So I've been bouncing around from 269-265 for the past two weeks. Hopefully now that "that time of the month" has passed, my body can start going in the right direction again.

Hi there Bird,

Feel your frustration, I keep bouncing between 255 - 260. Every 2 weeks the scale goes up 4-5 pounds and then it takes me 2 weeks for it to come off... I know its water weight, still frustrating. Especially as it means that what I am doing isn't netting any weight loss.

Keep at it - I bet you will hit that 259 before you know it!

You keep at it as well! I'm adjusting some numbers today to see if that gets me anywhere.

I'm so happy to be joining this thread today. I am officially at 268 this morning, and I'm very excited about that. I look forward to this next part of my journey. This is the lowest I've been in about 10 years, and I finally feel like I'm in the right frame of mind to keep going.

Congratulations! What fantastic achievement! It definitely sounds like you are in the right frame of mind! What are you doing to lose weight?

This is a quiet thread at the moment. I am in maintaining mode while on steroids for the next several months, so I will be around Hopefully soon I will see some downward progress once off the medication.

Keep posting and keep up the great work!

Thanks Kat117. I've been doing a couple of different things. I started doing low carb, which works well for me. A friend talked me into doing low calorie for a few weeks but I gained. I really don't follow a strict plan. I think just being more aware and watching my carb intake are key for me.

Steroids are no fun, especially where weight is concerned. Best of luck.

I haven't been around for a few days, but I'm still at 268 after eating poorly for a few days. I hope to see a loss this week.

Hey ladies, jumping in here to say hey, I'm Meredith, and that I'm hoping to get a bit of motivation as we move into the holidays. I don't weigh myself often, but I'm going to start beginning on Sunday weighing once a week, to help motivate for my end of year goal. Last time I weighed in I was 252; I had gotten down to 239 last spring, but the summer had me back up in the 260's. I workout regularly, just need to get diet/sleep/water fine tuned. I look forward to seeing all of us lose

Hi ladies,

I've been hovering around 268 for a week now. I must admit I have been eating out a lot though so I'm not surprised. It is my personal goal starting today to avoid eating fast food and exercise way more! Need the strength! I hope to be in the 250's by Thanksgiving! Good luck to everyone else and great job to all the "losers!"

I'm hanging on to 268, which I can't believe given how I've eaten lately. Hoping to get back on my plan today. My next goal is 13 lbs away.

I finally saw a change on the scale this morning. I'll happily take the 266!

Still here! Having a super stressful month. Moving, turning a new chapter in my life, and dealing with the consequences of having to jump out of a lease earlier. Just trying to keep things under control at this point. <3 Hope you all are doing well.

Hi everyone! I haven't checked in for a little over a week. I'm still trying, but I'm kind of all over the place with my eating. I've decided I don't really have a set plan, but I'm not gaining so no complaints. I'm at 264 today. I love seeing the scale move! Hope everyone has a good week.
