Today I allowed myself to indulge. I've been having a lot of cravings that won't pass this week and today was a good excuse to deal with them. Tomorrow I will be up compared to today.
2/8 271.8 +0.4 this is excellent for two days away.
2/9 273.2 +1.4 there's the weekend weight! drink more water.
2/10 274.5 +1.3 salt. just keep going.
2/11 274.5 0 doesn't want to let me go...
2/12 273.4 -1.1 finally a loss
2/13 274.3 +0.9 my body loves this scale number
2/14 273.2 -1.1 I would like to leave these 70's behind
Good Morning All! Checking in... I had a dip over the weekend, but cooked for my DBF yesterday for V. Day. Seriously, I do so much better when I dine alone! Congrats to all who are losing weight!! Andi
Sw: 176

Really regretting having had the cheat on friday now. I feel like my body is still punishing me despite that I was still under maintenance with the cheat meal, and that i tried to make good choices and not just reach for a greasy takeaway! Why so mean, body: I have been perfect since, so hopefully it'll start to drop again soon. Makes me so irritable! I shall drink 50 whole waters!!
MsTibbles! I'm sure that you'll move past this hiccup, soon. Still, I get being mad at your body! I get frustrated by mine all of the time!
PrairieQueen - I'm glad that you're back to last week's low
Leah - It's a good idea to indulge a little, every once in a while. Particularly on Valentine's Day! Great work moving the scale down
I made the decision not to weigh myself on Saturday/Sunday, as I upped the calories for my husband and I over the weekend so that we wouldn't feel deprived. I guess I just wanted to see how that would affect the rate of loss, and so far, so good.

Hi, again, shymouse!
As for me, I posted on this a few days back, actually. I'm pretty sure that my rate of loss is going to slow down soon. I'm planning to make a change or two at that point.
Thanks for the encouragement here and on the other threads!

I am really late joining the February challenge but I don't want to wait until March. I have been struggling to get back on track since December and I'm hoping that the daily check ins will help me. I have not been going to my Weight Watchers meetings either and need to start those back up. I'm feeling like such a failure right now . I did so good for 8 months last year losing 40+ pounds. I fell off the wagon at the end of November and I've not been able to get back in my groove. I've been letting food control me again instead of me controlling it.
My goal for the rest of Feb is to stay OP and in control of what I eat for the rest of the month and to do some kind of activity at least 4 days each week.
The last time I weighed myself I was 204 so I need to change my ticker I will be working my way back to onederland.
In answer to shymouse and anyone else, what works for me it to
1) Rid my pantry of chips, tortillas, cookies, sweets, and other crap food
2) Go to the store and stock up on lean PROTEINS like eggs, chicken white meat, fish, shrimp and other lean proteins
3) Have a lot of green vegs on hand like romaine, mushrooms, carrots, and other green stuff (not high carb such as corn, peas, rice, or potatoes)
4) Cut down the amount of food you're eating, which is easy if you're mainly eating protein as it makes you feel fuller...
5) Drink more water/coffee/tea than you're used to eating!
6) Take fiber pills at least twice a day... This makes up for any loss of fiber in your diet and keeps things moving!
Well that jump is almost laughable 4 pounds in 24 hours, that's impressive! It's nice to know that you can't literally pack on that much real weight so I know it'll shed soon. And since I had chinese food I know I'll be peeing most of those pounds.
Hi shymouse and anyone else - I'm on the weightwatchers smart points program. They revised their program in January with more of an emphasis on protein than their previous program. Basically it is healthy eating but I go to the meetings which is helping to keep me accountable.
I also exercise about 4 days per week (cardio and weights). I have found that I need to do both exercise plus watch what I'm eating. If I only do one of those and not both, my weight loss slows down a lot.
Webwoman - I think I'm eating very similar to what you have described in your post. I also got rid of all the junk food.

This would TOTALLY work for me IF all I did was go to the market, go home, and hermitize all week. However, when you work in an establishment that serves food all day and people bring it in half of the night, the situation gets a little more complicated.
Last week, I took all great OP food for snacks and dinner to work. When I got there, someone had brought us all 24 Shipley donuts (1/2 white glazed with Valentine sprinkles, 1/2 chocolate glazed with Valentine sprinkles). On top of this, the staff decides it's a great night for ordering pizza……
Well, I skipped the pizza cause none of it was veggie, and I really only eat chocolate once a month--if that, which leaves 12 donuts. OK, I ate the tops of 2 of them and chucked the bottoms
