HOORAY!! and congrats on the loss! Amazing, and I am happy for you.
Me on the other hand? My official WI was today and I have gained .4 this week. I have been really good and trying very hard not to cheat...and then I gain .4 of a pound, which isn't much, but I am not in ONE-derland anymore:(

Hmm, a gain? Is it TOM? I know this sounds strange, but try an extra protein packet - it's helped a lot of IPers start losing again - something about getting out of starvation mode I think. You can do it - you'll be back in ONEderland before next weigh in! Have faith - the program works!

Sigh. My new scale is just a total PITA! This morning was my weigh in and I stepped on and lost 2lbs. So I tried the old scale just to see what it says. I lost 4.4lbs on the old one? WTF??? I mean I can see that the new one is showing a higher weight but a difference in loss? I don't get that. Anyways, I guess I lost 2lbs and I am back to 195lbs. I pretty much just dropped my gain from last week.
I know it will get harder now since I am reaching my lowest weight ever but it is sure not motivating when the new scale is just a pain in the b...

Just a quick "drive by" literally since I am on the road on an 8 hour journey home.
I went with my husband to his oncologist appointment and since Monday's are my usual weigh in day I figured I would get on the doctor scale because I wouldn't be able to weigh in at home (I have no coach). Anyways the scale at the doctor's office read 4 pounds lost!!! I was soooo excited because it was a doctor scale to boot, not my home scale.

NSC= I have NEVER in my adult life shopped in the non-plus section of the store, my husband and I were in Winnipeg Manitoba for 4 days and I was in desperate need of clothes. I tried several stores and discovered that I am a size 14!!! and some were a tight 12. I can't believe it, but on a sad note, I was so overwhelmed with being able to shop in ALL stores that I didn't buy too much. BUT...that's ok because I still have weight to lose so I didn't want to go overboard with buying too much.
Staying OP was a little more difficult with so many choices of restaurants, so I decided before I even went that I would do phase 2/3 and get right back on phase 1 when I get home. Yes, I know that this will probably slow my weight loss down for a week but it was worth it. When you live in a northern remote community with very little/no resources it felt good to get out of town for a few days.
p.s...my husband's appointment went extremely well (he has melanoma stage 3-4) and his prognosis is GREAT!

@GailMarie That is soooo awesome that you were shopping in non-plus stores now. Congratulations!!
Glad to hear that your husband is doing well too.
I think you deserved some celebrating! You will be right back on plan I am sure. Sometimes little treats are great motivation. I wouldn't worry about a week.

I am running out of time. Down one pound this week. Three to go!

I have been losing at a snail's pace. Not really a plateau as I do increase my calories on purpose at times to fill in those nutrition gaps I have when I am really focused, but I finally cracked the '60s and I am thrilled this morning!!

I would rather do it slow than not lose at all, or worse, regain because I have cravings. I want this weight to be permanent.

So now, anything lost from now until Canada Day is a bonus!!! *insert fireworks here*

@MissAngelle keep it up! You are doing a great job!!

I finally got a nice loss again too! I am down two pounds! Only one to go for my Canada Day goal. Woohoooo! Very excited today. I went to a bbq yesterday and some people haven't seen me for a few months. I was the talk of the night (not exactly my thing though. I don't like to be in the spotlight). And I was also behaving on the buffet. I had a burger (well, it was a beef industry event after all) and only some salad and fruit as sides. I am so happy I was able to pull off a 2 lbs loss after that!

How is everybody doing?

just a quick note to say that I have given up...so happy for those who can stick it out

What? Wait? You have given up what? GailMarie, please explain, we are here to help!!

REACHED my goal!!! YAY! Good luck everybody! One more week to do it!

Happy Canada Day everybody!! How is it going?

Guys, anybody interested in more Canadian (open for anybody though) Challenges? I thought a Thanksgiving one and maybe a Remembrance Day one?
