Hey all! just stopping in with my weigh in before running off to the Drs to get the monitor I have to wear for the next day. Looks like everyone is doing great! Keep it up
Tuscany, LfChanges, and Kelijpa, thanks for the kind words for my Dad!
Kelijpa, thank you to your Dad for his service too!
LfChanges, did your incredulous co-worker think counting calories wasn't a good plan? Regardless of what anyone else thinks, the results are the proof in the pudding and you are doing great!
Tuscany, whenever my posts disappear, they are usually in the sister thread, lol!
Turtle, I just noticed how close you are to your next mini-goal and it's a BIG one! Keep pushing that scale!
Minneey, that made me laugh! Good job getting that early exercise in!
KellyK, great job on the drop! Keep going! :
183, ah, the good old days of skipping classes. I recall them fondly, lol! Only I didn't skip class to study for another . I skipped class because the squirrels on campus were so tame that they would come sit on your lap and eat out of your hand, and well, on some days, that was just more important.
Wannaskip, yay on the loss! Good job avoiding extra salt!
Boatingmommy, good for you! Up only one lb is great! And pecan pie, yum!
Pixikat, looking good! Keep us up to date on the heart news!
I miss so much when i don't weigh on the weekend! I had an extra day off yesterday because of remembrance day and i was glad to get to go to our provincial ceremony.
Friday night, Saturday and Sunday were all off plan in some way or another. I got back on track yesterday and will see how long it takes me to catch back up!!

I had a dr appointment today. There scale says I weigh 8 pounds more than the scale I use at home. It does show that I am 4 pounds lighter than I was when I saw the dr two weeks ago..but that number is disheartening. I was fully dressed with work boots on as well but I don't think that really could account for the 8 pound difference with their scale..kindda bummed on that. Still it did register a four lbs loss.
Jacqui_D happy veteran's day to your father! I was in the marine corps too, from 1979-1983. Can you believe that I don't get veteran's day off at my job! Villains!
I woke up really happy today not even sure why, I was just in a good mood. I went to an info night for Uni exchange student opportunities last night; so all the possibilities get me all excited. I've been abroad for a year twice before (high school in the US and community service in South Africa after high school graduation), so I really want to go again next year. So many options!!
Also, I lost some weight, that's cool too.
wannaskipandlaugh yay for the drop! Well done. Try to compensate for salty foods with a lot of water
Turtle11 you'll push through this! no worries.
boatingmommy that pound will be gone soon. Hope you had a good time with your family. Also, Pecan pie sound SO GOOD. We can't buy American Style pies in Germany, and when I try myself it turns out to be lousy. But pie is so delicious.
pnkrckpixikat well done losing
Jacqui_D feeding tame squirrels sounds more important that class everyday we don't have attendance over here and the whole Uni thing is very independent, I just realized I learn better reading than listening, so considering a day only has so many hours I need to make the choice that is most useful for me. Works out though!
therecoveringfatchic stick to your plan, and you'll wooosh soon! Good luck!
Woodstock you'll be back down in no time! Hope you enjoyed your weekend though
kelijpa nice drop!
mainecyn I think weight is something relative. If I were you, I'd stick to one scale. Take the 8lbs Otherwise, 4lbs is still a great result for 2 weeks! No worries

Hi. New to the site but it looks like just what I'm looking for. This group especially seems right up my alley so I hope it's cool to hop in mid month.
I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right (the posting part) but I guess we will see. A little back story: This is my third go around with massive weight loss so not giving in to despair and "what's the point?" is my biggest struggle now. The first time I lost substantial weight (115 lbs in 9 months 2005) I was young, single and I made losing weight my job. Weighed and measured EVERYTHING. Worked out for 3 hours a day and with a PT 4 days a week. Got thin. Met a horrible guy. Wasted 2 years of my life and picked up a nasty case of bulimia trying to keep the weight off while binging for comfort. Finally broke it off with nothing but 75 lbs of regained weight to show for it. Moved to Japan in 2008 for work and again made losing the weight priority #1. No friends, no fun, no living until the weight was off. Lost 77 lbs in 6 months that time. Still dabbled with the bulimia but for the most part I lost the weight legit. Felt awesome. Moved to South Korea, met my now husband. Married in January 2011 and our "surprise" baby was born in September (you do the math ) When I found out I was pregnant I swore that I would never again use purging as a form of weight control. I have kept that promise but at a pretty high price. Very long story from that point, but suffice to say, it is November 13, 2013 and I am back up to 275 lbs. My God how it just sneaks right up on you.
So here I am, realizing that feeling sorry for myself and wallowing in the "if only's" and the "coulda woulda shoulda" isn't going to help me but also trying to get real with the fact that I won't be able to just put my life on hold like I have in the past and give every moment to weight loss. With all my experience at this I'm not sure if I know how to do it this way. I'm hoping accountability and support (giving it and receiving it) will help me make a start.
Sorry for the blathering but I just had to get it out there so I can move forward. I hope no one minds too much. So here are my stats.
CW = 275
Nov. 30th GW = 265
Lastly, does anyone know how I get the awesome weight tracker thingys like you all have on your posts, and how do you set your goals and stuff? A mini tutorial on how to maximize the use of the site (Im big on tracking and graphs, etc.) would be much appreciated. Happy weight loss all!
MAINECYN... oh I know what you are feeling... about 2 months ago I went to my DR and found out that my scale was lower by 14 lbs compared to Dr;s (2 scales in the office too).. so disheartening... But your Dr's scale shows you lost and THAT is the most important thing! Hugs to you.. I have been and am there....

Thank for the support. You know this has happened to me in the past years ago, a scale at work, the Dr scale, and my own scale all read differently. One of the nurses at the Dr office said something close to what your saying. She told me that she sticks to what one scale says, that there are changes almost hourly in what you weigh, there are your clothes etc. It was just startling because I was honestly hoping to see an even lower number than what mine said.
