Stuck at exactly the same weight, 158.4, as I was two days ago last time I weighed in.

I will be mixing it up today, though I am not sure how just yet. I think my body is getting complacent with what I have been doing, so today I will shake up my diet (I usually eat the same things each UpDay) and add in some exercise I don't usually do.

Busy day today, driving carpool, classes in the morning, grocery shopping, and ladies' Bible study in the evening.

RideRunRepeat, hang in there! I went through a similar thing a few weeks ago where I was gaining weight every day. My ankles and hands were puffy, but I was still drinking a ton of water, exercising and eating well. It's never easy to see a gain, but it's even worse when you have no idea what's causing it.

Just keep doing everything right and it will go away - maybe with a few extra :)

Nightangel – Wooohoooo the woosh fairy likes you today!

Jennybutler357 – congrats on being solidly into onederland!!

TrayTeam – welcome back! So sorry you’ve been so sick ☹

Imabehot – yay on getting into the 180s!! So close to your goal this month!

Minneey – congrats on the pound loss!

RideRunRepeat – sounds like you’ve been working hard, don’t worry about the scale, your body will respond!

Boatingmommy – don’t get too jealous, it got to 48/50 on Monday, and then the next day it snowed, and today its in the single digits….

Shr1nk1ngme – it’s weird how our bodies just seem to really LIKE certain weights isn’t it? I’m sure changing it up a bit will help tremendously!

Whoo!

Just a quick one from me tonight.

183 - it's a plan. I need to up my running and book an event to work towards. May sounds perfect for me so will have a look next week. Did a 7mile today, felt exhausted afterwards!

Turtle - hang in there!! Sending will power and whoosh fairy over for a visit - due to arrive any day now!

Had a good day today plotting out all my 2014 diet, weight and exercise goals. Took photos, measurements, etc. Bit late in Jan bit I'm getting there. Been a weird start to the year for me !

Yay!!

I just got back from the grocery store. I got some really good food to help me wrap this month up and hopefully hit goal. I got cottage cheese to eat with sugar free jello, whole wheat pita pockets to make little pizzas with, apples and celery to go with peanut butter, salmon, stuff for broccoli salad, stuff to make a quiche with lots of spinach, greek yogurt and frozen berries to make smoothies, and a case of water.
I have not done so good on the exercise thread that's going on but I am going to get in as much treadmill time as I can for the rest of the month. I am getting super excited about being in the 100's so very soon.
I have decided that on the day I hit onederland I am going to get a 1 hour long neck, back, and shoulder massage at the spa. I have been there once before a few years ago and it was amazing.

Goal is 202, this morning was 204.4..... I think I can....I think I can.....I think I can.....WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!! onerland is right around the corner. Stopping to pick up Rsadler126 then never seeing the 200s again.

Catching up after a couple of days out of town!

Hey guys :)

Well, I went to see the Doctor this AM and my legs are not just sore :( Have to do 3 days of really heavy meds. Unfortunately, they make my body retain water really bad, so I don't have a lot of hope for tomorrow's weigh-in (apart from the fact that I didn't bring my digital scale and will be using my parents' oldskool one).
Anyways, my momma is making me one of my most favorite Swabian dishes (Linsen mit Spätzle) and I saved enough calories for a nice serving of chocolate ice-cream, so I'll stick to plan!

kelijpa thanks! -10°C or F?

susan1975 I'm sure you'll reach onederland soon!

NightAngel26 yay for the woosh!

boatingmommy nice drop!

RideRunRepeat sorry to read you gained for no reason! I call it mystery weight. Should be gone as quick as it came!

Minneey I find it so much more motivational when I actually got an event to train for. If I don't, I just go and run my round, but with a date in the back of my head I push harder. I got a running mag for Christmas (those are expensive, hey!) that had all the German marathons (and big European ones) listed, and I chose one in a city I used to live (and know people that can be my fanclub ;)), so I'm really excited about it.

Woodstock nice to see you check in!

Okay, have a great day everyone! :belly:

shr1nk1ngme - good idea with mixing it up and just remember sometimes a stall is just when the body is readjusting and re-distributing fat and what-not. Keep up the good work!!

Rsadler126 - *thank you* so much for your encouraging words!! They did a great deal in helping me keep focus and stay on track yesterday, even when I was tempted to be discouraged!! :)

designchick88 - keep going! As I just found out sometimes it's just a bit of water weight. Remember to get enough sleep and drink lots of water! :)

kelijpa - wow!! How exciting is that!? Great work! :D
