Thanks You're doing great too! Keep up your determination and discipline because it will help you to get to 12km in the future.

I'm still trying to get on that swiss ball! I went out for a run today thinking that I had recovered from the 12km... I guess I hadn't lol

Thanks *blush*

I'm down a half lb today; however, my scale is acting up. I think I need a new battery. I normally step on it twice just to make sure it gives me the same number each time, but today I had to step on it multiple times for it to settle on the same number in a row. It even went down to 179.5 at one point. (How dare it get my hopes up like that, lol!) It finally settled on 180.5 three times in a row. Just to double-check, I then went downstairs to my non-digital scale and it also gave me 180.5. The thing is I set my non-digital one by my digital one just a couple of weeks ago, so if the digital one had started to be off without my knowing it, they could both be wrong. I am not going to be happy if I have to change my ticker upward!

Woodstock, how wonderful that people around you are starting to notice!

LfChanges, yes, it took me years to understand that fluctuations are all a part of the process. I'm glad you recognize it, so it won't throw you off your efforts!

Darius, it's a water thing, but it's not unusual. That's how it works. You go up and down and up and down, but overall you keep moving toward your goal, so you just have to roll with the ebbs and tides, and eventually you reach the shore!

Minneey, good job planning ahead!

Tuscany, I'm sure the whoosh fairy is close by! She never seems to go too far away from you! Of course, she might just send Baby Whoosh since you are at a healthy weight now.

183, looking good! Keep going!

Rhiko, uh-oh, definitely give your muscles time to heal! If you hurt yourself, you won't be able to exercise at all! And great job on the low weight!

Kelijpa, congrats on the progress!

Turtle, C'mon 154 and below!

Good morning!!! picked up a new scale yesterday. The old scale has a memory function, but it means that it will weigh a person the exact same number day to day unless there is a fluctuation of greater than half a pound. Basically if you are close to what it weighed you at the day before it goes to that number. I want to see the fluctuations if it means I can see I'm down even just a little.

The new scale and the old scale are off by 2.8 pounds though. :s because I plan on using the new scale from now on I won't worry about which is "right" and just go with the new one. For todays weigh in I weighed on both just to see where I was at compared to yesterday. After today I will just have the new scale.

11/5 - 254.2
11/6 - 251.6 (-2.6)
11/7 - 250.8 (-0.8)
11/8 - old scale-252.4 new scale-249.6 (+1.6 from yesterday)

11/8 - 160 and holding. Tomorrow is going to be a tuffy. We have cousin's Thanksgiving with my husband's family (Then the family's can go to to the in-laws side on the actual holiday). We usually play games, socialize and eat and drink...a lot! There's the usual holiday fare, plus tons of appetizers, dips and desserts. I have been practicing in my mind polite ways to refuse overindulging. Wish me luck! Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

Pixikat, from the sound of it, the new scale is more accurate, so I'd say the 249.6 is definitely right! :

Boatingmommy, ooo, that is a toughie! I'm all for cheat days myself, but I know you are eager to get into those 150's. Regardless, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with your extended family!

My new low stuck, even with supper out last night!

SW: 76.2 kgs

Minneey: excellent planning for the weekend -- that's exactly what I find I have to do to make special events work for me.

Jacqui_D: Woohoo! Good for you for getting your scale woes sorted out.

boatingmommy: good luck with your family gathering -- that's another sort of event that I need a plan for. Often it's "No snacks, focus on the veggies at the meal, tiny servings of everything else including dessert." And, I sometimes need to make a decision about alcohol. If the nephew in the wine business is there, my rule is usually "a small glass of each wine A is offering." If not, the rule is usually "no alcohol."

SW 175
GW 168

Nov 4th 174
Nov 6th 173
Nov 8th 172..kept hovering between 172 and 171, so just rounded it up as my scale is the old fashion one with the line by line reading and not digital. I also weighed dressed this morning, which I don't normally do.

I haven't been writing down calories or menu during the day, things are crazy. I have been watching carbs and calories, planning my meals ahead of time and using only the allotted calories. Seems to be working for me.

I am eating under 20 carbs a day, drinking my water, and not 1. over eating, or 2. binge eating..both of which have been my downfall my entire adult life. I am starting the 12th day binge free. I haven't been this in control of myself in many years and find myself having hope, but also being a bit scared as the weekend is coming and that is the time I have issues. Especially with all 5 kids home this weekend, my husband, and a birthday party planned for him Saturday.

Weigh in day

240.6 today
242.8 Nov start weight, down a bit

And Jacqui, when I first stepped on the scales this morning they said 238.4, so I moved them twice getting the 240.6 three times. I am going to use that same spot each time for weigh in's now. Doc's appt next week, will compare to doctors scales to find the true weight then.

Everyone seems to be doing fantastic, thanks all of ya

Jacqui_D, Yay for the great and accurate results today!! I am frustrated by my digital scales from time to time when they don't give consistent results. Sometimes i think i should buy something more precise then the WW one i have..

Boatingmommy I hope you have a great family celebration and I know you will stay strong with your decisions - have fun!

Minneey Well done making the weekend plan. I'm betting you will stick to it, especially with all of the hard work and results you've been achieving!

Tuscany LOL, the streak ran out, no 145 today, but i am not complaining at all. I am officially cheering for you to break in to the 138's next weigh in.

Finally saw 158 for the first time evar! I attribute it to me being super moody and whiny yesterday. I didn't overeat and I was too mopey to snack. This particular TOM is odder than usual. But I definitely still need to drink more water.

Your doing great, only four pounds left. Wow.
I need to drink my water today, I haven't had as much water the last two days as I normally drink. I notice I'm also a little extra moody when I am losing, like my body is working so hard emotionally it takes a toll. It might not be what is actually happening but I do notice I am extra emotional while pounds are dropping.

Congrats Joy! That's fantastic!

BFR, yay on being 2.2 lbs down! That's great! It will be interesting to hear how your scale measures up to your doctor's scale!

Woodstock, you are doing so great! I love seeing that steady weight loss!

Learning_2_live, woohoo! Congrats on the new low! Just yesterday, I decided to start adding Crystal Light to my water. I know it has artificial sweeteners and that's not great, but so does my Diet Dr. Pepper and I kept reaching for it over water. Now I am drinking more water. I have no problem drinking water in the summer, but in the winter, it's so difficult for me. I took the suggestion to keep it at room temperature, but still, I wasn't drinking it like I know I should. Now I am. However you do it, drink up!

Mainecyn, my daughter watches carbs and calories together and it works very well for her. She doesn't journal but she does have the myfitnesspal app on her phone and she plugs in all the food she eats so she can keep track. I say do whatever works best for you!
