  • Hey! I'm still around 165ish... not really budging. But I do weigh at random times now just for giggles... like this evening a while after dinner I was at 169 (not surprising considering my stomach was full of food!) but then I peed and got back on the scale and I was 167! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF URINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Haha, megwini - I do that too! It amuses me to no end. :-)

    I took a laxative to help get things moving, and weighed in at only 160.6! Oh gosh, how I wish that would have been real weight loss. Weighed in today at 161.4, but I don't get to "count" it until it's stuck for three days or more. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
  • I am hereeeee!! I thought this day wouldn't come. I've avoided that darned scale for a few days and it didn't disappoint me today! 169!

    I realized today that I only have 7 pounds to lose before I hit my 30 pound loss! How exciting! I'm on cloud 9 right now.
  • Welcome kurleq! And best of luck with your 7 pounds!! :-)
  • Grads KurLEQ!!

    I am soooo mad I'm sick right now. I want to be working out!!
  • Thank you, Thank you!

    This weekend I'm doing a 5 mile walk to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Last year was the first year I participated in it and I was 18 pounds heavier at the time. I'm hoping to compare pictures (with a big smile) when I get home on Sunday!
  • hey ladies saw 164.6 today.
  • hey girls!

    i am 160.9 lbs today! yipeeee. want to hit through the 160s barrier by the end of the week. or at least maintain this weight loss!!

    feeling under the weather though. i have a really bad sore throat.
  • ECHO - ME TOO! I've dipped down to 160.7 twice this week and I think I could actually see 159.9 this Saturday if I'm very good about what I eat (no snarfing down cheezits anymore, HEH). Gaaah, I want to break through so badly! If not this Saturday, then definitely next Saturday. Good luck with your breaking through too!! :-) Oh, and where did you get the model in your icon? I think it'd be fun to have one of those too!
  • Down five pounds from 166 to 161 after 4 weeks (1.25 lb/week, which isn't too bad)... theoretically.
    I've seen high numbers for a while though, so part of me doesn't quite believe it yet. We'll see what the scale says again two weeks from now!
  • I scale cheated today (didn't drink water for several hours, stripped down to my undies, hehe) and saw 159.9!! Of course, that's not real weight loss, but it's nice to finally see some progress and feel how close it is! My goal is definitely to see 159.9 for REAL by this Saturday. :-)

    lol!! cute

    i heard that if you want to see a loss, kinda cheat, cut down on salt and drink 80 ounces of water which is about 2.4 litres.

    that way you will flush out excess water. and we might see a hit through the 160 barrier by getting rid of excess water , fluid retention. im gonna do it this week.

    today i drank about 2 litres of water.

    i fill up a large glass of water, and just keep sipping it through a straw, when i watch telly or something.

    Ooh, I'm going to do that too! I have a giant blue cup that's about 14 oz so I'll fill that up 6 times throughout the day. Yay, I'm excited to break out of this 160's barrier! :-)
