  • Hi all, I've just gotten into the 240s!! Fingers crossed will be a short stay....
  • I think I'm in the 240s now but my scale is acting weird so I'm not sure :/
  • Hey MrsTee and BeachKitty! BeachKitty - what's wrong with your scale? Does it need new batteries?
  • Back up to 246.4. I think it's mainly a combination of end-of-semester stress/poor food planning and possibly coming down with something. How is everybody else doing?
  • 245 point something this morning....
  • I'm trying to get out of the 240s. 243 today. This decade has always been my nemesis. I haven't been in the 230s in years.
  • Hi Mizzthingaling!

    How is everybody doing?

    I was up to 249 this morning, but I think that's almost entirely due to it being my TOM. Sunday I was 245.8. That isn't fantastic in itself, but it's great considering how much temporary weight I used to put on at the end of every semester from stress-eating. This year I basically stayed the same.
  • Back down to 245.8. I'm going to try to get back down to 243 by the end of the year. I'd really like to be able to honestly say I had a net loss of 35 lbs. this year.

    How are you guys doing?
  • I battled the 240's throughout the entire year of 2011...I glimpsed 237 once. So here I am. Joining the 240's thread once again..lol..and this time when I leave..I hope to be gone for good!

    Nice to meet you all. Christmas wasnt nice. Sitting at 248.6!
  • MizzThing - I am with you. 240's is hard for me.

    I'm hoovering around 245 at the moment. I don't weigh in until Sunday though.
  • Scale says I'm 241.8 today! I hope it sticks.

    I've started a new job which means that I actually eat lunch and I really don't have access to anything to nibble on -- except for the boxes of leftover holiday candy and chocolate people in the office are bringing in! AND the department held a "welcome new employees" meeting and had red velvet cupcakes and I said NO. Can you believe that?

    I'd like to see the darn 230's soon! Weekends are hard for me because my Cute Boyfriend is around and he's obese and loves to eat terribly on weekends. Luckily, he's been very conscious of my efforts.
  • Good for you for turning down the cupcakes, Jessica! Good job on getting down to 241.8!
  • Hey all!

    Back from my holiday hiatus and am back on track. My SW in January was 248 --- today, my WI was right at 243. I'm thrilled with that. One more pound will put me at a total of 50 pounds lost!

    Hope all is going well with you guys!!
  • Hi Jess! Welcome back; I'm glad to see you're back on track!
  • I'm at 240.2 today. Hopefully will be in the 230s next week.
