Hi everybody I want to join this I just got out of the 250 thread and that took far longer than I would of hoped I was yoyoing the whole time. I want to join this thread and get out of the 240s now at a steady pace and much sooner than before with out my yoyoing I want to see 199 so bad I need to get out of these 200's and it has taken me far too long already I was stalled for almost a whole year so I am back on track again and making a steady decline from now on! Wish me luck and good luck everyone else also good to be here!

The scale said 248.5 this morning so that's where I'm at as of right now.

247... Back where I left off last week before camping. I refused to change my ticker!
Going2b, I am the Yo-yo queen! I hope to have this under control now!
Lishar, Meka and Ella, see you at the next level forum! You're nearly there!
I invested in a scale appropriate for my weight but it still fluctuates up to 5 pounds. I find myself weighing in several times to get the lowest number! Mind games!

i just got back from walking 5.5 miles and i showered and weighed myself the scale says 247.5 now yay I usually always go down a pound after i workout it's weird but I'm not complaining gonna work out everyday hopefully it will keep dropping a pound a day or so lol. I'm proud of myself too for saying no to sweets and everything even when everyone else is having it last night everyone in my house was having some berry oreos that I have never tried I wanted to try one but didn't just had a taco salad instead I'm staying away from sugar as much as I can. I haven't felt hungry either really for it which is amazing and when I do feel hungry I eat but only something healthy.

2times me too hope I can continue to keep this in check myself this time lol. Good luck to you

Oh also I went through my dresser today and some old clothes I forgot I even had some were stuffed in there because I wasn't able to wear them and figured I'd never be able to well I dug it all out and all the clothes I took out are like too big for me now and the ones I thought I'd never get into again I can wear those now it was pretty cool makes me wanna keep pushing to get into my smaller and smaller clothes I have all lined up for when the weight comes off!

*edit*

Also when I go walking I am always so tempted to run, but at this weight it would kill my knees, I see people on this forum running at this weight I am now, I have no idea how you guys can do it but I so want to run I'll wait until I lose a lot more weight though I guess can't wait for that! I did do my fastest mile today though and my fastest 5k I can tell a big difference just from getting the last 10 lbs off I wanna see how I feel once this 10 is gone as well and see if my speed increases I'm sure it will.

going2bskinny I am afraid to run at this weight too. So I just walk. I get my heartrate up to 140 for an hour when I do cardio and 30min when I do strength training. If I get to a point where walking does not get my heart rate up I will try jogging.

2times2much- My scale fluxuates too. I weight 3 times and take an average. Silly I know but hopefully its the most accurate.

Going2beskinny welcome I hope the 240's go quickly for you. I am hopefully the next time I weigh I will see a 230 something. Not tomorrow because I don't weigh after weight lifting. I tend to hold on to water for a day.

So frustrated! At the end of August I was 242.2... I got my stupid period and I have been blowing it every day since then. I am back to 246 and that makes me so angry! I was sooo close to my 15 lbs lost (241.8) and I blew it... Now I gotta lose that all over again. Grrrr. 240's you need to be out of my life!

i worked hard all week and still remain at 249.5 like last week. so annoyed

I hear you ladies. I told myself I was not going to stand on the scale. Did I listen to myself? Of course not. So I am 240.5 AGAIN. Part of me knows its probably from the weight training. Still frustrating.

Wow! Walking, lifting weights, wanting to jog and run!! Makes me feel pretty lazy! I did get the dishes done after work! And a load of laundry in the wash. Not too much action!

I love reading you gals' posts! It reminds me that I'm not the only one going through this, and it's just as hard for everyone else too! Makes me not feel quite as sorry for myself...

I do only weigh in in the morning (but every morning!). I get too disgruntled in the afternoon/evening after I've been drinking lots of liquids--and the scale shows higher.

G2B, glad you found the extra clothes hiding out in your drawers!

Howellbe & Puffy, you will find your niche and do great. Hang in there!

Heading to lunch with DH soon. I like going to Subway, he likes going for a big juicy, dripping, fat-ladden cheeseburger at the local tavern.

I weighed in at 247.0 this morning which is a 1 pound loss for the week. With TOM right around the corner and all the other stress I have been dealing with the past 6 weeks I will take it

Hi Y'all! I made it- YES! down 4 pds this week landed me at 247 and in this thread.

According to my non-trustworthy home scale, I'm now in the upper 230's. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my official weigh-in on Wednesday.

Well I'm inching inching inching on down. I weighed in today at 241 down 1.2 pounds from last week. Hoping to be out of the 240s by next Monday. Which means being 100% on plan.

Scale says 248 today I think it's just muscle and water weight though from eating too much salt cuz I didn't cheat and can tell more fat is gone but I weigh more it said like 250 yesterday so it's coming back down need to try to stay away from the salt more

The scale doesn't move (downward) when I don't behave! Tonight I took all of the yummy foods from the weekend to my folks house! It's just too easy to eat it so it doesn't go to waste. Someone smart once told me it's better it goes to waste instead of going to my waist! Time for me to pay attention and get back on plan!

Welcome Healthyginger! Way to go!
