(120 lbs on my higher scale in NY, my lower scale in PA reads 1lb lower)
Fantasy goal weight- under 110
Goal weight- 112 lbs
I'm okay where I am though
No scale fiddlin' at all today . Just took the first reading and DONE
NSV: I tried on many BAGS-full of too-small clothing I had in the back of the closet. About 75% of it fits again!!! To me, this is truly amazing. It has been ~ 2 years that these items have been stashed away. Some of the more timeless styles are like 10 years old
I do suspect that I am bigger at the same weight than I was before... different topic entirely and there is nothing I can do about it now. I will address that when I start exercising/weightlifting for real, probably next month.
SW: 58.1 kg (128.0 lbs)
GW: 57.0 kg (125.6 lbs)

Fantasy goal weight- under 110
Goal weight- 112 lbs
I'm okay where I am though
I'm trying to be slightly stricter with my food, carbs from vegetables and fruit only (if I can pull it off for the day, I did yesterday at least)
Well, wow. I had 1600 calories and lost weight. My carbs were at 45. I had an 8 ounce bison burger with 4 ounces brisket and just didn't eat the bun and had literally three or four French fries, all protein, low carb vegetables, cup of blueberries and an orange, the rest of the day and a tbs of raw nuts at like 10 at night. Okay, eat and lose weight. I
will see how this goes.
A lot of you do the low calorie stuff and I commend you. I seem to eat 1500 a day regardless of what I'm eating, otherwise I'm miserable. You guys have way more discipline than I could ever have!
Today was also measurement day, and I lost an inch of my chest (not sure that is good), waist and hips.
I am excited to try some new recipes this weekend and found that meal planning this week really kept me on track.

10.
soooo slow. But steady, so I can't complain. Even at this slow rate, I would meet my monthly goal. I only have to focus on not screwing up my diet on the weekends (This weekend was one of the few that I managed to stay entirely on plan!)
Today's weight was a milestone: my lowest weight from last year But I was only there for LESS THAN 8 DAYS... next recorded weight was more than 4 pounds higher, and it only went up from there. It's crazy how much work it is to lose weight and how quickly it can all be undone

That's a new number! Congratulations, Jen.
Your comment, "If I can pull it off for the day," reminds me of something I wrote a while back: "It's a matter of time and timing." What I mean by that is that I can eat a healthy number of calories today, an amount that allows me to lose weight and still enjoy my life (1200 calories), or, in your case, good carbs. Once I'm done for the day, I tell myself "It's just a matter of time until I eat again. I can deal." Maybe making good choices makes the "good choices muscles" stronger!
The timing part comes in - not that you need any advice, but it's the end of the saying - getting the food at such a time as to leave me the least hungry and the most satisfied as possible. That will be different for different people, obviously. Some like to drag their calories out through the day, and some, like me, like them kind of all at once, sort of in an "IF" window.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the secrets of your success.
