i would say the same hun but it keeps me on track, i get mad but then i sigh and think what else am i gonna do? carry on and hope for the best or blow it all and gain another 3 overnight?

oh well. at least im eating healthily. but it seems so fruitless sometimes.

I hear you, Paula... When things are goin good.. I can't be stopped..and then something happens to bring me down.. or there's some little change in life and i can throw life out the window in a flash!

The key is positivity.. That's what i keep telling myself anyway!

Today I havn't eaten anything bad and kept portions right.
I've done one workout and want to do one more tonight- it's bootcamp time for me! hehe

Finally checking in -- no updates here. same as start, 140. It seems this will be my beginning number for the next challenge to be started by photochick, most likely!!

Hang on to resolve for the whooooosh. And, please remind me sometime soon... as I'm sure to forget in some sort of future frustration related griping...(see what a realist/pessimist I am :))

Re: cancer talk. A close friend of mine, 34 years old, today celebrated her last dose of chemo (we all hope and pray) taken for a brain tumor diagnosed after a seizure the day after her 34th b-day. She has three young children. Her recent scans are good. :)

Kitty - good to hear you friend is doing better. Must be really tough.

Paula - I can sooo relate to you! I haven't binged in 24 days! I am eating OP, exercising, and the darn scale doesn't seem to notice.

I'm down 0.2 today, so:

SW: 158.2
CW: 157
GW: 153.2

VERY frustrating! I was SURE I'd be down to 155 already!

kittycat - so good about your friend!!

I am down 0.7 this morning!! Yay.

SW: 153.4
CW: 152.3 (-1.1)
GW: 148.4

So I've developed a theory backed by solid scientific fact (ie me weighing every day)- some days gravity is just much stronger then others. Obviously we have been dealing with some stronger gravity lately as there is no other explanations for some of us having scales going up and/or not moving.

219.8 this AM

Well, I reached 40 pounds down on the dot this morning, whoo hoo!

Start weight: 169.6
Current weight: 167.8 (-1.8, 3.2 to go)
Goal weight: 164.6

Wow, so that's what a "Bye-bye water weight" whoosh is like! I never whooshed before, but I lost 2 lbs today! :love: Doin' the happy dance! :carrot:

SW: 193.5
CW: 191.5 (-2.0 lbs, at last!)
GW: 188.5

I'm almost ready to say goodbye to the 190s! Well, ready to, but not able yet. ;)

OOoo, yay, almost kicking those 190s to the curb Betsi! Awesome!

Well I ate salty last night so I'm back up. Just a little.

SW: 169
CW: 165.2
GW: 164

I'm going to watch my salt very carefully today. I'm also drinking a lot more water. But overall I think I did well yesterday. Despite my Chili's splurge, I managed to stay under 1000 cals over (if that makes sense). I did go to the gym and do my usual Tuesday HIIT on the elliptical.

Movin' forward!! :)

.

:carrot: :carrot:Josephine!!:carrot::carrot: You're so close to your goal. You'll nearly be there by your vacay if you keep it up (and duh of course you will)

Betsi - congrats, 190s will soon be a distant memory.

Photo - yes it makes sense, you went over your calories but kept it in check right? Moving on and not worrying - way to go!

Good morning losers!

My scale said 139 this am. But, I know it is dehydration....still nice to see a 3 as second number!

I'm gonna keep on truckin'
start 140
current 139
goal 135 (4 to go!)

Had a bit of a whoosh yesterday, finally! Hang in there, Paula - it's always at the moment you feel like giving up that it suddenly pays off.

SW: 200.5
CW: 201.5
GW:195.5
