    Joy, where are you? Did I miss that GardenerJoy was going on vacation?

    Tuscany, I'm sure that higher weight won't stick! Isn't that right, Tuscany's scale?

    Turtle, yay! Congrats on the drop!

    Boatingmommy, yay on being 1.5 lbs down! Be mindful this weekend and have a great weigh-in on Monday!

    Wannaskip, hang in there! The Whoosh Fairy has to be coming soon!

    Pixikat, I'm so glad you had a great b-day and that your stress test went well! Congrats on the b-day water weight falling back off quickly!

    Mainecyn, great job! Keep going!

    Rsadler, you are doing great! Definitely look on the bright side! The scale is moving down!

    Minneey, yay on another lb down! We still have half the month left for you to lose even more!

    Darius, way to go on being 4 lbs down! Keep it up!

    183, that crazy spike is just some kind of fluke. It will fall again and then some!

    Kelijpa, you are on fire, girl! Keep going!

    Nov 14 th 170, finally.
    Nov 15 th 170

    No change, but at least its not UP instead of down. I guess I can handle staying the same instead of gaining. I need to drink more water, i haven't been doing that the past couple of days.

    Congratulations!!!

    Not happy. Yesterday must have been an optical illusion, because when I stepped on the scale this morning, it again read 139. As you might imagine, I had a few choice words for my scale!
    Do you weigh the same time everyday? I am in a routine currently where I weigh at a certain time a day, and always the second I get outta the shower. It still is a horrible feeling to go from excitement over losing, to heartbreak not to see the same number the next day. How was your salt intake?

    Quote:
    I finally lost the 2 pounds from last week plus the 2 pounds for this week.
    Thank you for all of the support; everyone's progress is very inspiring to me.
    Wow, your on a roll, great job.
  • OK i'm in......I would like to weigh 220 by the end of the month.

    current 11/15/13 235
    goal 220
    I have been doing IP since Wed this week and have went from 240 to 235. i'm excited this is working..
  • Hi Finale! Wow, that a big goal for half a month! Great job on the weight you've lost so far! Good luck!

    Rsadler, thank you! Yes, it feels really good! I'm pretty excited about it!

    Mainecyn, thanks! Good job on maintaining your loss! I'm one who needs to drink more water too on a daily basis. But I'm getting better!

    Speaking of water, Tuscany I meant to tell you I bought some Mio. The store didn't have the lemonade, so I got strawberry watermelon and it's wonderful! Thanks for the suggestion! It makes drinking more water so much easier!

    Turtle, good job keeping under that pesky 155!
  • mainecyn did you put it in the exercise thread by accident? I've done that before lol But CONGRATS on 170!!

    Turtle11 Thanks for the b-day wishes

    Rsadler126 Losing is better than staying the same or gaining! Sometimes the body slows down for a bit, like it needs a break. I'm sure you will be out of the 210s before you know it, just keep it up!

    Tuscany How frustrating!!! I'm sure you will see that number again soon!!

    183StGB maybe it needs a new batt?

    kelijpa you are doing AWESOME keep up the great work!

    Sue It was a decent birthday, thanks for the well wishes! keep on truckin it's gotta go back down soon enough

    boatingmommy you can do it!! Just stay OP and I'm sure you will see the same or lower on Monday

    Jacqui_D go go go you are SOOOO close to your goal!

    finale Welcome!!! good luck with your goal
  • Well, i wrote a post yesterday and thought that I submitted it but it looks like it vanished into the depth of the internet... (or I didn't actually hit submit!?). And I didn't weigh this morning but at least i'll catch up with yesterday and resolve to have a good weekend starting out with a 10K run tonight after work!

    Congratulations Jacqui_D on your 2nd mini goal - awesome accomplishment!

    Minneey and Boatingmommy, I am with you both on breaking the weekend binge cycle. Although i had a good exercise and food week, here i sit at the weight i should have been/could have been on Monday if I had stayed on plan last weekend.

    Tuscany This 139 anomaly can't last much longer - hang in there!!

    Happy Friday to everyone and have a great weekend!
  • Well done pixikat on dropping that birthday weight! Hardly even a blip!

    Massive congrats to Jacqui - 13 years waiting for this day - make sure you celebrate in some way.

    183 - yay, stitches out! I pulled my back in September and was desperate to get back into my exercise routine (questioning this... Why!!? Lol) - your first run'll feel great. Maybe a bit rusty but great!! Go girl!

    Boatingmommy - you're doing super great. Lets hope for a good weekend not ruining our good progress... Deep breath, bring it on

    Woodstock, my weekend role model. Lets do this. 10K sounds good - it's freezing here tonight - running in gloves weather!

  • Woodstock, I had a post do the same thing yesterday. I typed my reply, hit post, it was gone.
  • Woodstock and Mainecyn, Tuscany had a post disappear recently too. I wonder what's going on.

    Woodstock, thanks! And good job on the drop yesterday!

    Minneey, thanks! I'll celebrate tomorrow on cheat day! Look at you go! Great job!

    Pixikat, thanks for the encouragement!

    I totally had a crazy week. No time at all! And I had about 14 kilos of salt tonight so I'm not going to weigh myself in the morning. But I've been pretty stable. I'm 3.1 lbs away from goal. But I think I can shed that in 2 weeks if I'm careful and disciplined. Maybe I can make it to 150 for Christmas!!

    good morning

    yesterday's mystery weight left woohoo. I ended up not running yesterday, because it was dark already when I was home at 4PM. Today is my sister and I's annual Christmas cookie baking action. I've been excited about this since about June. I won't be counting today.

    I hope everybody has a fabulous Saturday!
