So I'm a newbie here. And I just jumped back a few pages to see how this thread works. I love it! What a brilliant idea to have short term goals like this. Anyway, this is my thread I think as I weigh 245. Well I did the last time I got on a scale. I don't like to weigh myself, as it depresses me. Anway, I work in the schools and we are about to start summer vacation. I'm hoping to use the time to jump start a life style change. And since you all have motivated me, I think I'll go take my dog for a walk. She'll certainly appreciate it, and I can use the exercise.

Welcome, Seana!

I like posting to specific threads because I don't feel quite as exposed and I feel more helped by people with situations more similar to mine. I post here, on weight watchers, on Couch to 5k, and on some of the challenges. But it is a great forum because you can pick and choose what you like ("ala carte")

Welcome Seana! You ladies will push through in no time! We can all motivate each other and be there in not time.

I have been in this thread too long. LOL But I know that is only a matter of time till I move down to the 230's decade.

How are we doing today guys?

Mara, I feel like I've been in this thread FOREVER! Lol.

I bounced up two pounds but am not taking it as hard because I started lifting weights and I think TTOM is approaching...

Long-time 3FC lurker, but trying to get more involved in forums. Anyhow, Hi, everyone!

247.8 yesterday and 248 today. I've had two consistent weeks of loss, so hoping I can keep that going!

I can't believe I'm here! Last time I weighed in I was around 265. I went to the doctor's office and, at first, I wouldn't let them weigh me. The MA talked me into it and I'm glad he did! 247.5. With all my work clothes on!

Glad to be on the thread with you all!

So the persnickety scale just gave me 239.4.

Woohoo! Hope it stays down!

Congrats, KarinRose! I'm not weighing again until I go to the gym on Tuesday. My scale at home has issues . . . the suspense is killing me!

I made it!!!!!!!!!!! 249.6 :-)

Bah! I jumped back up to 253 after the weekend and have only made it back down to 248. And I was so close to the 230's! I'd like to be down at least another FULL 10 lbs in the next two months, as I plan on going zip-lining and the weight limit is 250, and I don't really want to cut it that close while suspended from trees!! LOL

Welcome Rachel2writer, MissKoo, and LGW!!!

Karin I hope that scale is giving you more good news.

Silverfire I am right there with you. I saw 251 on the scale one night and almost passed out. Realized that I have got to change my mindset back to where it was. I have been walking about 2 miles a day this week and watching what I eat. Down to 246.6 this morning. It is also TOM for me so hopefully this is still mostly water weight.

The zip lining sounds fun! I would be a little nervous to do it.

Happy Friday! How is everyone doing?

I am still trying to shed the weight gain and get back on track. But I have been consistent on the walking.

Well this morning I am at 244.6. Better than it has been. I did a 4.6 mile walk yesterday. Getting back into the groove of regular exercise.

How is everyone else today?

Hellooooo... Echo... Echo... LOL am I all alone in this thread?

I am down to 243.8 this morning. So going in the right direction.
