    And back up again.

    *sigh*

    Grr.
  • Theresia - sorry about the toe. Attack of the killer mouse :-P

    Welcome chikitababe!

    Melissa you're sooo close!

    Photo - hang in there.
  • Hey girls,
    I'm up again. I'm hoping it's because I'm due to start TOM on Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

    theresia-I hope your toe is feeling better!

    Heather-I kind of feel the same way you do about the scale. I'm getting a little obsessive. In fact, if I get up in the middle of the night to drink water or use the restroom, I will weigh myself. Why? No clue. Maybe I think I weigh less at night.

    Josephine-you look a lot like somebody I used to work with. Do you have a sister in the Air Force?


    Good job on the loss, McKenziesmomma!

    Photochick, kittycat and miriam-I feel your pain! Hang in there.

    Pudge (who is a little bit pudgy, but mostly just solid cat) is adapting pretty well. We're having a lot of fun with him.

    Hope you all had a good Monday!
  • Still no change.

    Current Weight: 156 (-3, 2 to go)
    Goal Weight: 154



    Welcome Chikitababe!

    Theresia -- an attack mouse? What are the odds? I hope your toe gets better!

    Kitty -- Whoo hoo, adios 140s! Isn't it exciting to know they will never be back!? Awesome!

    Photochick -- I hope you're feeling better this morning -- water and crackers, um, you couldn't be...uh.... preggers, could you?

    McKenziesmomma -- congratulations on the whooshie whoosh! See ya later 250s, whoo hoo!

    Darby -- Nope, I don't have any sisters.... that I know of. Maybe it as my doppleganger!

    Miriam and Robsia -- hang i nthere, the scale will move eventually!
  • Thank you all for the welcomes !! Well, good news this morning! I am not sure why it's down....but:

    SW: 145.5
    CW: 143.0(-2.5)
    GW: 140.5

    This daily accountability is really good for me. Otherwise, I would slip up daily and say, well, it's only a couple of brownies, !

    Kitty- I am a sweet food addict, and have to completely remove them from my diet. One piece is never enough and leads to two every day.
  • Darby that's exactly why I'm backing off a bit from the scale - I weigh anytime I change clothes, go to bed etc etc. I need to weigh more then once a week to stay on track but it was getting ridiculous.

    Congrats to the losers and maintainers today.

    I'm at 213.4 which is 2 down 3 to go.
  • You guys are nuts with all that weighing! As obsessive as I am, I'm even MORE superstitious! I step on the scale first thing in the morning (after rolling out of bed, peeing, and exhaling as hard as I can!), and then sometimes right when I'm back from a run just to check my dehydration levels (and I know I'm guaranteed to see an even lower number then) . And that's IT! I'm convinced if I step on it at ANY other time, terrible things will happen!
  • 155 this morning. This is getting kinda old.

    I totally weigh obsessively too. I should probably stop that.

  • Dang....still at 249 today! I was hoping for that last pound lost to win the challenge!!! Oh well.....it is better than a gain! Maybe tomorrow?!?!?!

    CW: 249
    GW: 248

    Sooooo close!

    Congrats to all the other losers and maintainers....and to the gainers...don't worry your whoosh is coming!! Stick with it and hang in there!


  • A little bit of movement, at last.

  • start 137
    current 138.5


    ADIOS 140s !!!!
  • No change with my weigh yet,, But I don't expect so much when I don't exercise,, The toe is better but it still hurts a little.. So a few days more of resting..

    Josephine - the mouse didn't atacked me really,, but it came running towards me because my dad hunted it with a stick,, it also had a dog hunting it to so it was kinda scared . At least it's dead now ..
    McKenziesmomma - Don't have a pool close, so I'll have to skip swimming.. But thanks for the tip, When I'm in Sweden I use to swim.. It's really relaxing.
