Hey ladies! What a start to the week eh? No personals for me today, just a quick blurb from the cell. I am keeping up though. Just finished up 4.6 miles after work and I'm exhausted. Scale still idle for me but TOM is on his way out! Crossing my fingers that whoosh comes soon! I've been on-plan, under calories and exercise is on point, so something has to give. Thankfully, staying sane as TOM just stays with me. in any case, just 2 more days until the weekend.

I'm with ya!

In August I would go for 10lbs.

Whatever that water weight was about is beginning to come off. I'm 100% on plan and have been 100% on plan, so I just have to realize this is just water and my body doing something hormonal, probably.

Hi you guys! <3 Sorry i've been MIA for a bit but I have been on track. Down 1.5lbs this week . Huzzah!

Also, I finally managed to break my obsessive daily weighing habit so I'm going to just weigh in once a week again, if that's okay.

I hope you all have a lovely thursday and pre-weekend!

Jacqui You were right, I did just fine. We went to Olive Garden and I went with their garlic rosemary grilled chicken. Even though I'm not a purposeful low-carber I know that a lot of simple carbs makes my cravings nearly unbearable which then triggers binges. So I stayed away from pasta and only had 2 bread sticks. I ended staying on plan so that was great!!

I'll admit, I told myself yesterday that as long as I hit 199.8 I'd be happy, but honestly I got on, and even though I'm in onederland now, it was just depressing. I wanted another 2pounder.. lol It's silly I know, I should be happy with -1- and I'll just have to make sure to work harder today so that maybe it'll be down to 198.8 or less.

stren003- awesome! Keep it up and you'll get to your goal soon!

PrairieQueen- .4 isn't bad with TOM. it'll drop and then some after it leaves. A sub sounds so good right now and I'm breadless for who knows how long (still have 70 pounds to go for my total goal) good luck and I hope you get a whoosh tomorrow

Jacqui D- Woo! 1 pound right after a 2 pound yesterday is great! I'm glad I came here, I tried a few diets before and used one close friend and she fell off the grid and so did the diet! I felt I needed a group rather than a single person.

Delphi- Wishing you a whoosh tomorrow

Unwanted37- woah that was a big drop, congrats! You are definitely in track of hitting your august goal!

kymb92: .2 isn't bad, you'll get it off tomorrow!

econ nerd: WOO! You are so close and you have lost so much in just under 2 weeks! That's amazing.

berryblondeboys: Glad the water weight is going down. Keep to the diet and you'll get a nice whoosh soon! I feel like you're going to hear the same lament from me in a few weeks. I've got PCOS, so my TOM is crazy.

MsTibbles: good job!! You have a lovely Thursday as well

LovelyLeah- glad you had a nice outing and stuck to plan!

mydarlingqueen- Congrats on making it to Onederland!

Happy Thursday!

No second week weigh in for me (weighing weekly on a Tuesday with slimming world group). I was admitted to hospital - remember my locked jaw - well they rushed me in and whipped out the culprit wisdom tooth - had a look around under anaesthetic (when they could open my mouth).. have slightly more opening now (enough for a spoon) and exercises to do but the outlook to improvement is 'months not weeks' so in this for the long haul to get my muscles back strong enough to open my jaw.

Back on plan today (home today) and pushing forward to see a loss for August still - will use home scales to see what damage has been done. lol

Thanks Jacqui! These wishes certainly help motivation don't they?

SW: 161.8
CW: 158 (-3.8!)

GW: 156.8

Getting closer! I'm going to a seafood place for dinner. I'm already planning out what I'm going to eat to make sure I behave (best I can).

Hello ladies! Once again, no time for personals, but since I was on the computer I had to do a quick drive by...
Been on the phone all morning looking for an OBGYN who isn't booked through the end of the year. Lucked out and got an appointment for an U/S on Monday...dang TOM Jr. is still hanging around! Day 11 here folks, six whole days after I got rid of TOM! I am done. Done I tell you!
Anyway, onto the details...

SW: 195
GW: 187

8/1: 195.4 I should have known...no way I can lose over a pound and have it stick.
8/2: 195.4
8/2: 195.2
8/3: 195.4 Gimme a break man!
8/4: 195.4
8/5: 195.4
8/6: 195.4 ---
8/7: 195 -- Okay Scale...you may live to see another day.
8/8: 194.8 -- Attaboy Scale!
8/9: 194 -- That's what I'm talking about Scale!
8/10: 193 -- Okay...wait...are you toying with me Scale? This seems sketchy to me...
8/11: 193.4 -- I knew it!!
8/12: 192.4 -- Go home Scale, you're drunk!
8/13: 192.8 -- Got a hangover Scale?

8/01 - 170.0 lbs, then down to 169.4, then TOM and up to 170.2, today is day three of TOM and finally a dip to 169.6 and my last heavy day. I'm hoping for another small dip tomorrow!

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone

Goal is to lose 12 pounds this month. Not sure it will happen; my 3 lb/week weight loss seems to have slowed down dramatically in the last week. Still, if I can lose a total of 10, I'll be happy.
