Well it is Friday weigh-in day.
The scale hasn't responded yet to my progress this week. Maybe it will go down this weekend.
Thank you kelijpa and 183StGB for the words of encouragement this week.

Good morning you guys

I had a really nice birthday with all my loved ones. I didn't track calories and I might have kinda eaten all the food, but it was mmh delicious and totally worth it. I expect a gain this week. Back to my normal eating today though
Best thing about yesterday: I managed to pull through the entire 21k! Woohoo! My official half-marathon is only 5/31, so I'm excited I can do it already.

summersky14 sorry about the snow! We had like 20°C over here yesterday! Was sitting outside in only shorts and tank top. Also, amazing loss this month! May I ask what your plan is?

tinajayne72 same goes to you! hope spring reaches you soon!

boatingmommy thanks for your birthday wishes! Weight gain is probably really a sodium bump.

BigChiefHoho Don't worry about the gain. If you are on plan, you are up for a nice woosh!

NightAngel26 hi how are you doing dear? Glad you're almost back at last months low! Had a great streak the last couple of days

Harriette yay fellow 3/13 birthdayer! Hope you had a great day! But considering you got yourself size 6 pants, I'll assume it was awesome! Epic NSV!!

Woodstock thank you! Glad to see your weight went back down.

kelijpa thanks for the birthday wishes

darius hi another pound lost... right direction! Slow and steady wins the race, you're doing awesome!

Yay personals! Once a blue moon
Anyways, hope everyone has a great OP day! TGIF!

Happy Birthday 183StGB!

Happy Birthday to those I missed!!!!
Congrats to the losers...... I missed the name but someone just bought a size 6?? Yay for you!!!!!

Here's some food for thought.....weird as it may be....
My usual routine.. got up, went to the bathroom, weighed myself this morning... 200.8!!! I was disgusted after all that effort... Then, 20 minutes later.. bathroom again.. so I decided to weigh in .. 199.6?? Talk about fluctuation!! So next time the numbers haunt me I will remember this! Fluctuation is normal....doesn't mean we are doing anything wrong!

3/1 - 155.9
3/3 - 158.2
3/4 - 156.4
3/5 - 155.9

Happy, Happy Friday!!! Good to see all of you hanging in there and giving it your all! Thanks for all the personal messages...this is such a great group!

Happy Belated, Harriette! Size 6...so exciting!!!

Darius - Hope all is well in Japan...my weigh in day, too. Hope the scale gives you that whoosh this weekend.

183 - Glad you had a great day! Shorts and tanks sound great, being surounded by loved ones sounds even better. Way to go on the run...you are going to do fantastic in May.

tinajayne - those little spikes can be so discouraging...but you are right, fluctuations are normal and so many little things can effect them. You are doing great! Hang in there!

kelijpa - Right! There is no turning back...we are headed downward and onward!

lisha91 - Getting closer to that March goal!

Alyssa and BigChiefHoho- Slower than you like...but still in the right direction. Hang in there you two!

summersky - Sending you some warm weather so you can enjoy outdoor exercise that doesn't involve a shovel.

Turtle - under 140 again...hoping it stays there for you.

Joy - Thanks for continuously tracking us. You are sticking to your goal! Way to go!

Okay, to everyone I missed...have a great OP day and weekend!

SW: 166.4
GW: 159.x

3/1: 166.4
3/2: 164.6
3/3: 165.8
3/4: 167.4
3/5: 165.2
3/6: 165.8
3/7: 165.2
3/8: 164.0
3/9: 163.2
3/10: 163.4
3/11: 163.6
3/12: 164.0
3/13: 164.2
3/14: 164.0

Well, it's no whoosh, but it's the right direction, anyway!

tinajayne - I have a bad habit of weighing myself like five times in the morning. When I first get up, then after I pee, then after I feed the baby, then after I pee again (what, don't look at me like that, I have a small bladder, okay). It's not uncommon for me to drop a full pound between my 'just-got-up' weight and my 'peed-twice-and-nursed-the-baby' weight. I like seeing how it changes.

Happy (late) birthdays to 183StGb and Harriette!
