I hope it's not too late for me to join in...I really need something like this to keep me motivated and you all seem very determined. That's awesome!!

234 today but hoping to be 229 by the 30th

09/12 - 234

:welcome: fluffygrover!

It is an extremely busy and stressful week for me. I'm sorry I haven't been on to post and write personals, and unfortunately the rest of the week isn't going to be any better. Maybe on Monday things will settle down and go back to normal. I haven't even gotten my daily walks in for the last two mornings--no time--and my weight is stalled at 197! Dang that 197 set point! I was down to 195, out of the obese range, and here I am right back again. I'm sticking to my diet, but obviously something is different, and it's not just the missing walks because I hit 197 while I was walking. Stress, I guess. Anyway, congrats to those who are at new lows! I'm thinking of you all!

Back down to 66.2 kgs. It's ovulation time, so my weight isn't going to change much no matter how small my body becomes because I put on 3cm on my stomach. Sigh. I won't have my full weight difference for this month until next month. However, I will keep posting changes as I see them. :)

13 Sept: 66.2 kgs (again)

P.S. Can I amend my weight loss from 2.8 kgs to 1.8 kgs? lol :shrug:

Sending happy thoughts to jacqui! All it can be is water weight if you have been on track. Probably from the stress from being so busy... keep it up it'll go back down SOON!!!

So I've been on track and I am up again today, I think I am getting sick :( I have been feeling drained but that didn't surprise me given how crazy my scheduled have been. But this morning I woke up with a deep cough as well. Bad timing body! Oh well, so I am gonna suck down water and airborne today and hope I can stop it in its tracks.

jacqui, I hope next week is easier for you.

pnkrck, ugh, isn't that the worst. I hope you don't get too sick. My throat is scratchy this morning, so that's always a sign that something fun is going to happen soon (sarcasm).

Welcome fluffy!

Jacqui - I know!!! This month is a killer. Well get past those dreaded set points :) I am determined to see the low 160s this month.

Rhiko - My body does exactly the same thing, some months around ovulation I gain 2-3 lbs overnight!

Pixi - Hope you feel better, water is a great idea! I like tea also with lemon and honey when my throat hurts :)

Leah - looking great. You keep hitting new lows!

Emme - Down 4.6 lbs in 10 days!!! Wow

I've decided that my stall is due to its being ragweed season. I'm feeling bloated all over even though I've been on plan. At some point, my body will feel less stressed and the scale will catch up. Hanging in there!

gardenerjoy Thank you! :)

Turtle11 It's a pain, right? :dizzy:

I am so frustrated! I have for the most part stayed on plan and for the last two week I have walk 2 miles 2-3 times a week which is a huge deal since I never have lasted for more then a week with any exercise routine. I don't know why I went up but I'm at a loss and this is why I have lost track of dieting in the past because I stall and just give up :( Im sorry if I sound like a whiney baby but I figured if anyone would understand it would be you guys :)

southernbell - I know whenever I start a new workout routine I retain water until my body gets used to it. Muscle burns more calories than fat so keep it up !!!

I saw a 4 this morning and I am officially less than my starting weight!!! That only took two weeks :dizzy:

SouthernBell Are you drinking enough water? That makes a huge difference. So does sodium intake and if you're constipated or near TOM or stressed out. You will have ups and downs. Also like Turtle said, new exercises can temporarily cause a set back in weight loss, but it's not permanent. For a while last month I was so frustrated because my weight kept bouncing between the same 5 pounds. I would finally think things were working and I would get so close to hitting a milestone but then I would gain 3 pounds out of no where. But I kept at it and now I've passed that milestone and I'm still losing. Our bodies can be really stubborn but that's when you need to be just as stubborn back.
