I lost .2 from last week, but am still up .6 for the challenge. I did WW Point Plus last week, but I am going to lower my allowance this week, and see if I do better.

What do you mean "lower your allowance"? You should make sure to eat your daily points every day... Eating less than that may PREVENT you from losing anything.

I've been having great success with WW - 23 pounds in 10 weeks. I eat all my dailies and probably half my weeklies every week. I don't eat any of my AP's.

Whoa!! Did you know that the childcare job came with its own built-in gym?? Holy moly! :D

Lisa, I mean I had better not eat my 49 extra allowance, just stick to my daily points. Thanks for the heads up though. I guess I should have explained better.

Wow, SMS- if that's the case then sign me up for a childcare job! LOL Congrats on your 9lbs, :crossed: hard that you're still in the 260s next week, girl!

Jazzy- I thought the same thing as Lisa when I first read your post, glad to hear that isn't the issue. Yea, I read a few posts where people cannot touch their weekly allowance just to see a decent loss!

Today's weigh in is 191.2lbs, about 1.2lbs less (192.4) than I was when I left for vacation on May 18th so not too bad but I gotta get my butt in gear if I want to make goal!!

Have a great day, y'all!!!

Yay!! 213.4! That's down 2.6 from last week!

Whoo-hoo, Sarah!!! :carrot:

That's excellent!! Congrats! :cheer:

Thanks!! To celebrate I decided to put my favorite stretchy maternity jeans away, now that my regular pants button and zip. I still have a muffin top but it's not terrible if I wear my c-section binder. What's funny is that these were my "fat" pants and they fit me just fine when I was at 235 before I got pregnant. Now 22 pounds lighter and they're so snug, but at least they "fit" now!!

Nice! That's a NSV for you, Sarah with your stretchy maternity pants and regular pants. I kind of have the same problem with one pair of jeans, I think it's because of my lower stomach- I didn't have the slight overhang when I was the same weight back in college. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Thank you! To resist temptation... I actually packed up and got rid of every stitch of maternity clothing in my house! I'm selling them as a lot to a friend of mine, she's getting a great deal, and I'm keeping momentum so I never have to wear stretchy pants again, at least not in the size I just got rid of! :D

I'm thinking of changing my weigh-in day to Tuesday... or maybe even twice weekly. I get to about 4 days OP and want so badly to see my progress "officially." Plus my knitting night is on Tuesday nights and while I eat healthy (we meet at various local restaurants) it's still usually full of more sodium than I'd like the night before my WI.

Down 2 pounds from two weeks ago (I didn't weigh myself last week)

Good Morning Everyone!
Happy to say that I'm down 3.5lbs this week.
I re-evaluated my calorie balance and am happy to say I saw a good bump this week when I've been seeing only 1-2lbs for a while now.

I look forward to everyone else's check in :)

Morning everyone; hope everyone's enjoying this weekend!

Congrats to Julia & K3ll3y :cheer:! I hope everyone is chugging along. (It's a long time until Labor Day!)

This week is absolute proof that there is no ryhyme or reason to weight loss. I lost a whooping 4.2 lbs this week, doing pretty much what I've been doing all along - same calories, same water, same workout, no TOM factor. I'm not complaining!! Just wish I could crack the code. :dizzy:

I do have one theory - now that I don't feel so big and overwhelmed and just plain down, I'm getting out and about more. So, there's extra activity built into my day that wasn't there before. Yesterday, DH and I walked to the lake; he fished and I sat on my butt and read. Last summer, I would have sat in the house while he went. It was just a mile walk, so that wasn't responsible for 4 lbs, but I think it's a general lifestyle change.

.4 lb more and I'll hit 20 lbs lost; I am a happy camper. Thank you all so much for the motivation and for listening to my ranting. Hope you all have a great week!

Way to go, Julia, K3ll3y and RMC!!! That's wonderful!!!

Still OP for most of the weekend aside from the captain morgan and diet coke/zero drinks last night at my pool party, lol. I'm gonna be real busy for the next 2 weeks since I've gotta pack the whole house- am moving to southern Illinois at the end of this month, gahhh!!!! lol. Hope all had a good weekend so far! :)
