Saturday weigh in came and went and saw no loss on the scale...not sure what I need to change in my plan but using today to try to figure it out and still working on my goal for the month. I think I will start going daily instead of weekly weigh ins to see how it all goes throughout the week.

I'm back after a 4.5 month hiatus due to a lot of mental health problems. I had gained about 15 pounds back but over the last 3 weeks I dropped almost 12 pounds after having my tonsils removed. I want to maintain that momentum so now that I'm mostly able to eat solids again I've decided it's a great time to get back on track with eating healthier.

I'm mentally preparing myself for the fact that I may put weight back on in the next coupe days because of dehydration and I'm just now adjusting to solids again. But things should even out over the next week. Also it might be TOM time too. Not sure anymore because everything is haywire after I had an IUD placed in November. I can't wait for that to start balancing out.

Welcome back Leah - I'm glad to see you back. I also came back after a hiatus. Everyone here is just as nice as I remember from last year.
Jacqui D, flower1, Tuca125, and gardenerjoy, thank you very much for the words of encouragement.
Today I went over 20 lb lost (since i started in Dec.) and went under 300 lb weight!
Today I have orientation at my new job; please wish me good luck!

Feel like I'm on track but not going to lose that kilo this month. Maybe next?

SMF you're on a roll!

Hello everyone; today is Friday weigh-in day.
Jacqui D, flower1, Tuca125, and gardenerjoy, thank you very much for the words of encouragement all month long!
I don't know what's going on - I am dieting but I am not starving myself. I am working like a farm animal so that's probably it. Also I am accustomed to having unusually large water losses when I first start a diet (I started in December).
Best of luck to everyone through the rest of this month!

Congrats Darius! All I can say is "wow!"

Yay! Leah's back! :hug: I hope you're feeling better with having your tonsils out! :getwell: Definitely drink up if you're dehydrated and don't worry about water weight lbs! Water comes and goes! :cheers: So glad you're back!

Darius, thanks! :D wow, 3.7 lbs past your monthly goal! That's fantastic! :woohoo:

Joy, thanks! :D Great job on tricking the scale and congrats on the drop! Looking good! :carrot:

SeeMyFeet, woohoo! You're doing great! Keep going! :cb:

C'mon PrairieQueen! :cheer: I'm rooting for ya! You can do it! 146! 146!

Volatis, occasionally we have months that go around in circles. Hang in there! I did that for two months in a row, but it gets better! :flow1:

Thanks Raining! :D :congrat: on a new decade! :broc:

Sundove, so close to a new decade and your January goal! Keep going! :flow2:

Noshoes, great attitude in not giving up! :cp:

Keli, way to keep it in the 170's! :jig:

Cakegirl, how are your daily weigh-ins going? :goodscale: I do daily weigh-ins because I don't want to miss going down and then maybe being back up just because of water weight. That may be what happened with you. :yes: Keep giving it your best!

Sum, you're so close to goal! You can do it! :trampo:

LittleBlueCat, keep at it! You're so close to a new decade! :dancer:

Flower, woohoo! I hope you make your Bonus Goal #2! :crossed:

Good luck to everyone for continued progress! :grouphug:

Jacqui I missed you!!! I'm feeling way better. I'm not eating solid foods without much issue anymore. Hopefully by the start of next week things should be back to normal.

I went wedding dress shopping today. It was actually fun and enjoyable but now I'm completely drained. Nothing really stood out to me but it was nice to finally feel like a bride. So many life changes recently that the wedding has kinda been on the back burner of my mind.
