Totally confused by my weight the past few days as I went all the way back up to 137.6 yesterday. Back down to 137.1 today but was at a solid 136 just a few days ago. Darn you body why can't you do what I want you to? :)

These next few weeks are going to be challenging. School is ending and I work from home. So that means my 5 year old and a babysitter will be at the house. Will it mean I eat less or that I just run downstairs from my office and grab whatever is easiest to shove in my mouth? I"m thinking of actually 'packing a lunch' to bring upstairs with me - ha! As much as I love summer I'm already looking forward to the end of it so I can have 'my' routine back!

Only Me & Astrild - congrats on almost being out of here!

crazygurl61 - congrats on the 134! That's awesome.

My whoosh seems to be over and I've been stable at about 130lbs (=/- maybe .5lb) every morning since. I've been perfectly on plan, with no planned splurge days until the 17th (father's day), but my body seems to like to stabilize for a week or more and then whoosh out 3-4lbs in less than a week.

Bodies are so strange... they just do their own thing.

I weighed 130.5 today... Just .5lbs til I'm out of here. I guess I'm excited, but the 130s have been a comfort zone for me for so long... I know it's just a number, but I'm trying to just accept the 120s slowly... so I don't freak out and stuff my face. lol It's hard to explain, and probably doesn't make sense.

Astrild - you are so so close!! Great work. I know what you mean about not getting too excited and going overboard. My clothes fit a lot better now and some are even getting terribly loose, so it's hard to not think, "what will this piece of candy do??" I have to remind myself of the long term goal.

Only Me - stable is good! Nice work on staying there and on plan.

Astrild & crazygurl61 - I just made the connection to my stall the past week. Umm, I'm right around ovulation and I had gained 2.5lbs. it magically went away this morning, so I'm back down to 136 now. Looking back at my calendar and daily weigh ins, my water gain seems to happen right before expected ovulation. I don' know the exact dates, but I have an app that tracks my periods so it gives me a good idea of when I'm supposed to be ovulating. Some weird primal getting your body ready for a baby thing? Who knows? Just glad that water weight is gone.

Happy to be at 136 today. Trying not to let my work stress bother me and excited to get to the gym/yoga this weekend. I've been trying to be as active as I can this week as my husband is working every night. I get off work, need to take care of my 5 year old and then he's in bed. I've done some video workouts and yesterday went for a run on my lunch hour. Have an eye doctor appt this afternoon so likely won't get a mid-day workout/walk in.

Great advice Dottie and reminding us what our long term goals are.. I'm so very close to my goal weight of 128 :carrot:

Astrid I agree our bodies are strange.. I think with us being women and the water weight etc.. plays a part.. me too was thinking about having a splurge day to celebrate when I hit 128 but then I'm thinking don't ruin all your work.. however I will allow myself one free day a month to eat whatever as I'm moving on with the GI Diet as a life time plane, which is doable for me once I hit 128..

It has taken me sometime to get to 133 so I can imagine these last 5 pounds won't be quick as well..

Weighed in at 135.1 this am. Not sure why but I'll take it. Perhaps the weekend and stress being lifted by not having to go to work today? Getting ready for yoga then enjoying the rest of the day. Have a great weekend!

:carrot: Yesterday I weighed 129 and this morning it was more like 128.5, but I'm calling it 129 for now. :carrot: I will never figure out my body. I do not usually lose weight in the last couple of days leading up to TOM. :?: I'm confused, but hey, I'll take it. Now just to stay out of the 130s. I haven't been this weight for about 6 years.

OnlyMe - congrats on your loss and moving into the 120s!

I was down to 135 both days this weekend but this morning back up to 136.7. I was active and ate well this weekend, so not sure why. Maybe water weight because I was outside and it was sooooo hot? Who knows. Just hoping it slides down tomorrow.

Hi Everyone. I am up to 136.4, which puts me at a 0 loss/0 gain for the week. TOM arrived yesterday which was a few days earlier than expected...also make sense for why the scale was up this week and I was STARVING for junk food. Le Sigh.

I am hoping after TOM I will be back in the 134's...just in time for a 5 day business trip to San Jose. I did pretty well on my Anaheim trip last month but this time there are no amusement parks to keep me moving...I'll have to watch alchohol/cals.

Hello ladies. I am Sarah a happily married Mom of 4 and I just made it to 139.8 this am so I thought I would join you in this thread. :)

Sarahlynn - welcome! Congrats on being in the 140s!

I weighed in at 135.8 this morning. Hoping to get 135 to stick as I was up at 136.7 yesterday after a few days at 135. I'm starting to wonder if I need to revise my goal of 132 for this month. I know I still have 2.5 weeks to go but losing 3 pounds seems like a lot in that amount of time. My loss has definitely slowed up a bit over the past 2 weeks. I'm still losing, just not as fast as before.

Thanks for the welcome DottieMae. I was 138.6 this am. I am finally getting the swoosh down that I have been waiting for for over a month. :)

I was up to 136.2 this am. No surprise really. I didn't eat terribly but did have a late piece of chocolate and a little extra cheese around 4ish because I was hungry. I usually have a snack of a hard boiled egg around 3:30 but I've been out of eggs and think it's made a huge difference not having a protein snack at that time. I've been eating fruit instead but I just don't think it's cutting it.

Likely be down in the 135s tomorrow as I'm heading to Bikram yoga tonight. Hoping I can get 135 to stick.

Sarahlynn - Congrats on moving down. Always nice to see that happen especially if you've been on plan and the scale hasn't moved in awhile. Nice work!

138.6 this am and I couldn't be happier. I am just trying to hold steady for the rest of the week because I don't want to lose too fast. I would love to push on and make it to 136 lbs which is healthy weight for my height but I know that if I slow it down when I do get to 136 I wont have to worry about bouncing right back up.

^Congrats Sarahlynn! You're doing well.

I've had some persistent & visible water weight lately... I stepped on the scale though and it still said 130.5... Hopefully when the water weight goes away I'll be out of here. It's hard for me to feel like being consistent though when I feel like I'm always lugging something extra around (first ovulation, then PMS, then TOM, then salty food, etc...) ugh!

138.8 this am

I've had a rough month - I randomly lost the vision in my left eye about a month ago, and I was put on prednisone to treat the swelling in my optic nerve (which is causing the vision loss). I was only on it for 2 weeks initially, but I've recently been put back on it and he thinks I'll be on it for months. :(

After reading about the terrible side effects of prednisone, I got scared about gaining a bunch of weight, so I've been really diligent about eating right. I cheated a bunch of times last weekend and gained a few pounds (primarily due to heavy salt and alcohol intake I think), but I'm finally back on track and sitting at 133 for the first time in 7 years!

135.8 this morning..finally under my 137 hurdle. Onward and downward!

134.3 this morning. Happily surprised my bump to the 134's didn't have a huge increase the next day. I thought it was just because I was likely dehydrated yesterday. Hoping the 134s stick and late next week I see 133! This is about the lowest I've been since I lost weight a few years ago. And I'm only about 8lbs away from my college weight!

Hi! I saw 133.6 this morning out of the shower with wet hair. Exciting!! So happy to be on the lower end of the 130s...

139.2 after bad eating. I am mad at myself for the bad eating but relieved to stay in the 30's. Time to refocus and aim for 137 and the 20 lb milestone.

138.8 on my way back down :)

Maintained in the 134s this weekend. 134.5 this am.

134 flat this am. Hoping to see 133.something by Saturday.

I'm back, I've been really misbehaving and need to get on track. My ticker is completely inaccurate at this point and it seems I managed to gain 7 lbs since Friday. The downward spiral stops here.

Had a really bad weekend and didn't even bother weighing cause I look pregnant... :( Was about to give up, at least for now... but my brother asked me today if I would model a top for a company's website he's working for cause it got left out in a shoot... I don't know if that will actually happen, but it's quite a motivator. I should try to tone up as well, if I will in fact do it. I don't think I really have what it takes to be a model, so it would be a once in a lifetime thing. lol And a new FB pic for ex's to weep over. lol jk! I'm not deluded enough to think it would matter, but still a cool opportunity. :)

Astrild - how cool!

moviegrl1737 - we all slip up. Sounds like you're back on track now. Good luck!

132.5 this am! Yes, lost 1.5 since yesterday. I went to Bikram yoga at 8pm last night, so I know that's why. Water weight. Still, it's been years since I've seen the scale say that. guessing I'll bounce up to the high 133s tomorrow, maybe 134 after I'm fully hydrated. Still, good to know I'm so close - only a few more pounds to be out of the 130s! Maybe in the next 3 weeks!

I didn't weigh in yesterday because I knew I was retaining water from a long day outside in the sun. Today I was 138.4 so a new low for me. :)

I would like to join this group but the posts I see seem to be from 2011. Is there anybody left here? Pllllsssss

Just accepted that my 3 weeks off plan have cost me 2lbs. So upped my weight back to 134. Wanna be out of the 130s before my bday in July.

Sarahlynn - congrats on your new low!

drifter55 - with very long forums you need to hit 'last page' to get to the most recent posts. We are active!

philana - you could easily by at 130s by July. Good luck! And 2lbs in 3 weeks isn't so bad! Side note I was streaming a mix on Spotify yesterday and a singer came up that I'd never heard before - and their profile pic reminded me of yours. She was a litte like Bjork. Anyway, here's a pic of her: http://alphapuprecords.com/artistpage.php?ArtistID=181

Back to 134 this am. I knew that 1.5lbs of water weight drop after Bikram wouldn't last. Still just glad it was 134 and not any higher. Have a happy hour/dinner tonight for a co-worker who is moving. Saving some calories for that and hoping not to go too crazy!

Hey ladies! I started this thread 9 months ago and sadly, I'm STILL in the freaking 130s! Haha. :o

I am posting here for accountability because I am ready to buckle down and do this. I currently weigh 132.2. I am going on a week-long vacation to Disney on Friday, so I'm definitely nervous about that number going up. My 10 year high school reunion is next month, which is a big motivator to stay on plan. I weighed much more as a teenager (160s-170s) so I'd love to go back at my goal.

So hi! I'm Jamie, a 28 year old military wife and mama of a 3 year old boy and 1 year old girl.
:carrot:

So my weekend of debauchery ended up with an official 4 lb gain at weight watchers. Which is less than the 7 it was on Sunday and more than the 2 it was this morning. So I'm headed in the right direction.
It's so hot though that all I want to do is sit around in my underwear eating icecream. But the thought of me in my underwear is really unappetizing. So maybe that's what I should do. :D

Weighed 132.4... ;( Been doing good though, which is all that counts. Just kinda miss seeing 130.5!! Hopefully its temporary. I'm kinda thinking I'll only take weigh-ins right after TOM that seriously.

DottieMae I hope your happy hour/dinner went well.

drifter55 welcome!

Philana 2 lbs really isnt too bad for being off plan 3 weeks. I hope you can recover from it quickly though

astrild I honestly didnt realize how much our cycles can affect our weight. Makes me kinda glad to be breastfeeding while I am losing so that I don't have to deal with that fluctuation. I need to remember that when I stop.

I was 138.6 this am. I really hope this isnt going to be another stall point because I spent more than enough time at 142. I really want to be at a healthy weight for my trip at the end of the month but at this rate 136 just seems so far away. :(

134.3 this am. Two glasses of wine and a bowl of mussels last night. Hoping to get down and stay in the 133s by the end of the weekend.

After weeks and weeks of not watching myself, 136. :-((

I'm really struggling with refocusing. There seems to be a dessert around every corner and it's practically a given that I must eat it. I don't know if its because I'm tired, and therefore NEED sugar, or what. Somehow my willpower has tapped out and I need to get it back stat.

138.2 this am 137 can not come fast enough!

moviegrl I find that once I start eating crap it is hard to stop and the only way is to quit cold turkey. take it one day at a time and I am sure you will get back on track.

DottieMae I would say that is no too bad for an evening of over induldence.

137.2!!!! woot!!
