Going to jump back into this thread. After a very stressful semester and a breakup, I'm back up to 135. I'm going to try to keep up with my weight loss through my Christmas break and (fingers crossed) through the next semester as well. Wish me luck. :)

Good luck, Ladybug10! You can do it.

I was 138 today. So psyched! :D

Good Luck Ladybug!

Thistleberry - it feels so good to get further away from that 140, doesn't it!?

I've been hovering at 135.8 the last few days but haven't been able to go to the bathroom like I should either with all the wierd holiday food I've been eating so I'm hoping to see a whoosh soon. Maybe not though with the big dinners and parties coming up this week. :S

Welcome back Ladybug!

Congrats, Thistleberry!

tonimaroni, I hope your whoosh comes soon! I recently started taking a couple of fiber tablets everyday to keep me more, ahem, "regular". ;) I'm only 28, but I think my digestion is sluggish.

Well I've stayed in the 120s for the last few days now but I'm not ready to move on from this thread. lol. I need to get through Christmas first!

Well I've weighed in under 136 for 4 days in a row now so I'm going to call it... I'm 'officially' no longer in the overweight category!!!! First time in my adult life. Merry Christmas to me :) and to all of you as well.

Thank you both! :) It really is lovely to get further from 140.

Congratulations, tonimaroni!! That really is such an exciting milestone. Merry Christmas to you too.

Though it is Christmas day all of my celebrations are over. I didn't do too poorly and I'm pretty happy about it. Sunday I came in at 1650 calories which is slightly less than I was planning so that's great. Christmas eve I ate about 2200. That's more than I had planned but it could have been much worse and I did run 5k that morning so I feel pretty okay about it. I was 137.4 yesterday and am back to 139.6 today but I think it's probably the weight of the food and possibly water weight as I consumed a lot more carbs than usual.

Well I should have followed your lead
ohtheplaces because I spoke too soon about being under 136 officially. Christmas pushed me back over and I was up 2.5lbs today. :( I'm really hoping its all water weight but given all the sweets I ate that's doubtful. Hope you're all doing better than I am!

I'm with you, tonimaroni, I spoke too soon... After a week long vacation and stuffing my face all day of it, the scale says 134.4 today and that's after being OP yesterday... :yikes: I'm praying a few more lbs falls off this week from water retention, but I can feel actual fat gain on my body.

Me too... I was up to 139 this morning and can barely wiggle into a pair of my newer jeans. I can see the bloat in my face too but I'm typing this as I'm walking on the treadmill so here's to the new year!

Had a 5 pound gain after a 6 day trip to Kauai.
Have since lost 3 of it.
Starting over I guess :(

134

After a planned cheat meal at Applebee's on Saturday for my birthday (which is actually today) I'm back at 140. I don't regret it; I got through Christmas well enough and you only get one birthday a year.

Happy New Year! Hope you're all back in the groove and having a great day.

It looks like all of us are moving in the wrong direction this week! I guess that's to be expected with the holidays. I for one am SO happy that the festivities are over. We went to a New Years get together last night and I ate way more than I was hoping to... I have no self control with food in social situations.

I weighed 131.2 this morning so I hope to be out of the 130s again next week. I don't know where to go from there though? Is there a maintainers thread? I think it will make me feel bad to join the 120s thread when everyone else in there is trying to get below the 120s and I want to stick somewhere in the middle.

Started 2013 at 132.6. Don't know if it will stick since there is still one more party to go to this evening. Happy New Year's everyone. :)

I'm f-i-n-a-l-l-y out of the 140s, so I'm scooting on over here. :carrot: Weight was 138.5 today.

Glad there won't be any holiday feasts to navigate for a little while, lol. I have a few weeks of no interruptions before the birthday parties start.

Yabs- good work!!

Oh the places- you might just try the featherweights monthly chat thread for maintenance if your not already in there. The thread is always active with maintainers and they are a chatty bunch. :)

I'm still up two lbs... Ugh. New years eve was worth it though.
