Sweetie - I feel your pain!!!! I'm being super super super strict with myself this week, both with food and exercise, to see if I can break this trend.

.

See, this sucks because I'm so confused. I'm back down a bit - but do NOT trust anything my scale says anymore. I dunno, this was my original goal weight. Yet, here I am, b*tching away.

Truthfully, it feels so nice to come here and whine. The last few weeks I've been pretty quiet, checking in very little. I need this!

JJ - You are so right... the 160's basically suck.

FB - your last post made me laugh - about the boob bouncing cardio especially. And the anger.

I wonder if this is one of those mindset differences that comes eventually. We've moved from "I've gained weight and now I'm so depressed I'm going to go eat a whole box of Oreos" to "I've gained weight and I'm f'ing pissed off about it and going to go kick *** in the gym or something."

Honestly I feel that way. I'm pissed. I'm pissed at myself for wasting some really good effort and progress. And pissed enough that I'm determined to get it back.

Better than wallowing in chocolate, that's for sure.

.

I hope it is a mindset change - that's about (not quite, when I'm not losing) as good as losing weight.

Yeah - for sure, it does anger me too. Screw it! I have rage. Really, when I go to the gym and miss out on time with my little guy and husband, when sweat runs in my eyes blinding me, when I drop my freaking iPod and freeze it, when the Chester the Molester stalks me in the free weights, when my expensive deodorant fails me 40 minutes into my workout, when the gym is out of clean towels - ALL OF THAT and no f'ing loss? Really?

But we ARE changing, you are so right - no chocolate covered cherries to sedate us, a little butt kicking time instead.

Let's kick butt today then, again. I'm not giving up these size 8's without hair and teeth flying!

I have finally come to the realization that I just might be stuck at the 160 mark. Don't get me wrong, I'm still really wanting/trying to loose, but this 160 number just doesn't want to go away!!!!!! I'm participting in the 20 something BL challange so I'm really going to give these last two weeks a GOOD GO, but after that, I'm just going to focus on my working out and toning up. I think I look different, I know I feel different....I need to get out the measuring tape and see if I've lost some inches!

Jamie - sounds like that might be a good plan for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if you shifted focus from weight loss to muscle/strength building and wound up losing weight and inches regardless. It might just be the change your body needs.

Hey, I'm back to my pre-Thanksgiving weight. Aw, the little things in life that bring such pleasure!

Sw: 147.5
Cw: 145.5
Gw: 142.5

That's quite the pretty number Julie! I want that! Hey, we both have the same amount of pounds to go until we maintain. Won't that be fun?

I like it. As soon as it seems like it's really gonna stick, I think I'm gonna officially consider myself a featherweight

I bet you beat me to goal though. You stay on plan. I am being ... flexible. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna call it
