GW 160s

still not feeling well, got a pot of chicken and veggie soup on

Sorry for the post and run earlier! I pulled up the thread and realized i was running late for an appointment so just threw in my weight and called it good.

welcome rdexter!!! It looks like you have a great start! keep up the good work

lulu I am trying to be patient and keep in mind it is either a set point or my body just straight up being stubborn. But my nature is impatient and wanting instant gratification so it is only working so much lol

smith feel better!!! you are wasting away :P

Thank you Lulu for the hug and understanding!
and WOOHOO look at you.. I said 173 by SUNDAY and you got there faster! LOVE THE WOOSH!


SMITH.. 10 lbs this month already??!!! ! That is just awesome!

PIXIKAT.. you are getting sooooo close to the 230's you are staring at them... Next week I BET! and then the 220's and then.....I look forward to celebrating with you when you reach 199 and Onderland!!

JB You are doing AWESOME.. I see Twoderland for you sooner than you think!

Welcome Rdexter, Capecod, and Unique! Never too late to start this challenge/journey with our group! Very glad to join you all in your downdowndown dance!

Sue - So glad to see you!!!!
Smith - Hope you are feeling better! I didn't realize you we're down 10 so fast being sick can really take the stuffing out of you!!
Pixikat - I'm right there with you - totally impatient!! Stall, set-point, plateau - all 4 letter words!! I think Sue banned me from using plateau for a time last year!! lol!

Holding at 173 - hoping to see 172 this week..hoping...

I'd love to see the 230s next week sue I'll keep my fingers crossed! but I just had my 2nd tatt removal session so I am figuring I may see a water bump from my body healing.

lulu... well we can be impatiently patient together!

I weighed myself today worried because I shared a giant peanut butter cup with my sister yesterday and turns out i didn't get set back by it! Hurray! Everyone else, keep doing your best!!

GW 160s

Think my scale is taking a crapper on me....weird weights lately. I've been eating whats in the house and not exercising. Bug, bug go away and die!!

Holding at 1.7.3!!

Like I've mentioned before I'm old school - throw me back to the 70s and 80s - it turns out Walmart does have jeans that I like in my size - they are in the men's department!! HA! I bought a pair of Dickies carpenter jeans W34 L30 yesterday... I can get them on and button them up but have a slight muffin top....so like the Levi's I bought last week they are a stretch goal pant - no spandex!! I am wearing all of my other stretch goal pants now that I saved from 10 years ago. I'm thinking that at 160 my waist will not be smaller than the 34s I have...I think that will be my size will be 14 maybe a 12 but I shy away from form fitting clothes.

Best wishes for an on-plan day!!

YEP Lulu.. PLATEAU/STALL is a 4 letter word! But don't we all experience it! Its just a wait station for our weight! While our bodies gather for another assult on the fat storage! hhhmmmmm An idea for a thread..... New terminology for stalling. LOL and WOOHOO on the pants ( I like non stretch denim too!) those Guys pants will button. I think that the woman's sizes are based on hips and chest more so the waist (Guys). I miss the good ole Painters Pants from OshGosh BGosh.. I loved wearing those in Highschool. Baggy legs, tight waist, but my arse looked good in them.

JB.. you are going to surpass your goal I bet this week! OOOO I love seeing results like that. It reminds me that it can be done!

Pixikat.. You are getting close to the 230's OH yes you are!

Unique.. not to worry about the Reeses.; make sure that there are no others. Those things like to whisper your name in the middle of the night. Heck even during the day! Should not hurt tooooo bad.. but sugar does cause the cravings to start again.

Smith... I am sorry about your crazy scale. Are you feeling better??!!!

1/7 244 (+.2) ggrrrrrrrr Holding more water (maybe because of the colder weather?! to keep warmer?? Waiting for the flush and WOOSH! LOL
1/8 244 (+.2 total still)... getting a cold and I am craving salty food and comfort food... But that will just add to my misery (if I gain more) so have to consider this day as a day of battling my little voice (eat eat eat)
