CONGRATS Change4Life!!!!

Guess what I way this morning...256 (I know, shocking)

Congratulations, Change4Life!

I too use the Wii Fit balance board as a scale. But it hasn't been as kind to me- I'm at 252.9 this morning. I really have not been giving it my all this week though...

Come on Luceia you are catching up with me!!!!!


Congratulations all you are making amazing progress this week!!

I am still here 255.6 right now, keep going up and down but seems to be slowly decreasing! I can't wait to see 249 on the scale!!!

Official week weigh in: 252.7 (-2.7)

A little bummed, my weight yesterday was 251 and it'd be nice to see that -3. I need -2.5lbs each week to hit my 20lbs by June 1 goal. I need to do a better job measuring my portions. I did get up at 5:30 and did the elliptical, so Im proud of that. And I go to my equestrian lesson tonight.

LOL, I hit 253.7 yesterday... of course, it was 253.9 this morning. Not unexpected, though, since I horrified my knees by running on concrete earlier in the week, and my workouts have been way too toned-down since then (OH HAI EXCUSES, MY BFFS THIS WEEK). Back in the saddle tonight, though. Lookout, SmallSteps, Ima catch you yet!

Alright, re-weighed this afternoon. 250.2. I'm confused. I thought first thing in the AM after fmu is the lowest weight? Hmmm... ?

Hi! This thread has been rolling for awhile, obviously, but if it's not too late I'd like to chime in. I've been in the 250s for like a year! Once I hit 260, believe it or not, I jumped back on the weight loss wagon. Lol. But there aren't a whole lot of 250-ers on the forum, and I'm usually in the 20-somethings forum where everyone is like 160 which is practically my goal weight. The issues we deal with are a little different I think, and it's nice to talk to people who understand where you're at.
This morning, I weighed in at 256.7. I was that weight a couple of days ago too, but I had a cheat day that sent me back up to 257.5. I hate losing weight I've already lost! Im definitely going to scale back from "cheat day" to "cheat meal" because I tend to overdo it (a lot) if it's an all day thing.
I'm also having trouble with how slow I losing, and I think I'm losing more quickly than I'm supposed to, but I'm used to big whooshes of weight loss (they tend to come before you quit and gain everything right back. Lol) so losing ounces a day is frustrating. I'm trying to disassociate myself from the number though and just focus minor fluctuations in my weight and what causes them so I can cut those things out. I also don't want to lose too fast because I'm terrified of loose skin.
Well, I'm excited to join! Im having a good, on plan day today, hope you all are too.

Welcome munchievictim I'm pretty new to this thread too, but have already been inspired and felt encouraged by these wonderful individuals. I have been at 256 pounds forever and can't seem to break past it! Let's get out of the 250's together!!!

Junebug44- darn 256 lol. I'm sick of seeing that number! What's your plan? I calorie count, and for now I'm tempted to restrict more to see a bigger loss, and I have kind of a mini crisis about it each day, and get too excited about seeing a loss the next day, and Im trying to figure out how to move away from that feeling. I would weigh myself less but when I do I'm much more easily able to convince myself that going a little off plan isn't such a big deal. Seeing the day to day fluctuations helps to keep me on track.

Does anyone on this thread use myfitnesspal, and want a friend? I'm a little island of my own on mfp right now, no friends, but I've gotten good at being honest with my logging and not skimping and lying just to make myself feel better (it's amazing all the ways I trick myself into eating more than I should. I constantly trying to pull one over on myself lol.), and now Id like friends to be accountable to! Plus I think it's neat to be able to see and share your food log with thread-mates. My username is ltgordon526 if anyone would like to add me

251.8 this morning (TOM is in the house)

Hi munchievictim! I'm a "20something" too (barely!). And decided that my 100lbs journey was just going to be too long to spend too much time there - I agree, most of the folks other there are looking to lose under 20lbs. Glad you jumped over here!

250.7 this morning. That -5.4lbs in 8 days. Im sure some of that is water weight, but I'm really excited to see that what I'm doing is moving me in the right direction.

Hi everybody! Hope you're all having a great, on plan day.
Iiii am very happy because today I hit 255, which is halfway through the 250s, woo hop, and it also means I'm back down to what I was for months before this last leg of weight gain. Not a huge difference from my high weight but it's nice to get those 7 holiday lbs off. It feels like a nice little accomplishment.

Sarahfairtops, way to go what a loss! I hope the same thing happens to me and I'm knocking on the 240's door in a week! Great job.

Congrats! Finally I am through the 250's also. Weighed this morning at 242. Juicing is really working for me! Haven't lost this kind of weight ever. I am usually such a slow loser. I am so excited!
