Great news Julia, K3ll3y, and RMC!!! Fantastic job!!!
RMC~We know you'll get that .4 off and hit the big 20!
K3ll3y~I am going to really watch those calories this week and see if I can take off a big chunk like you did.
Sarah~Fantastic job this week. I think you are right to steer clear of the scale after a big salt day. That is what happened to me this morning after my daughter's graduation party last night.
Julia~Two pounds is great!
I really need to watch the calories this week as I my mini-goal was to get down another 1.5 pounds by this Friday. We are having good friends fly in for the weekend and I am really trying to fit into my shorts by then!!! So, even though today is crazy with graduation tonight, I am going to get in my exercise regardless.
So I'm frustrated because I was OP this week, under my total cals for the week still, but the scale went back up a little in the last day or two from Sunday's weight. So I'm going to stick with Sunday's weight, which is fine because I wanted to change my weigh-in day anyway. So that's 211.4, down 2 pounds from last Wednesday!!
Not sure why it went up... but hopefully it's a fluke. Usually I nurse and pump before WI, but I didn't do that today- but there's no way that's 2 pounds worth of weight!
Welcome Susan!! You will find a lot of inspiration here.
PacSun, don't sweat a little fluctuation, especially while you're nursing. Your hormones are still running wild and free and that can certainly have an effect!
I'm still hovering around that 195.5 mark, but it's TOM, so I'm not too worried. Just looking forward to weighing in, in a couple of days.
Hope everyone is having a good week! Keep on working it!
Whoo-hoo, finally got out of the 190s this am- 189.4!
Way to go, Kristen!
Sarah- I wouldn't worry about it. I am thinking of changing my WI day because yesterday I was 192.5 and this am I was 189.4 so I'm taking it, lol! I'm still figuring out the trend/pattern so I can choose an official WI day.
Thanks you guys! I do feel better, and I'm totally see the "bigger" perspective. I expect losing this next 60ish pounds to take about a year, maybe even a little more for the last bits. So as long as it evens out and I'm still following my program, I know it will all pay off and work out.
I still just get irky when I see higher numbers than 2 days before. It's hard not to convince myself that "I should have just had that darn piece of cake anyway." Luckily I'm the most stubborn person I know... and I'm doing this thing!
Finally dipped below 195.5 to 193.4 - not much of a dip, but I'll take it! I'm realizing that for me, the eating healthy part of this isn't as challenging as the working out part. I've discovered that naturally, I'm a slug! So, I'm really trying to focus on upping my activity.
Hope everyone had a great week! It's already been 3 weeks since Memorial Day - I have a feeling that the summer is going to fly by and it will be Labor Day before we know it, so we all need to stay focused!

Way to go, amandie!
