It's a work from home day, and I can't resist peeking in here between phone calls and emails

Ona -- Thanks! I know I did good work in March, so I'm not beating myself up over it. I had an even slower February, so although this is smaller than I'd like I'm still making progress. The last time I lost weight I gave up when the pace slowed down & I hit plateaus -- I really regretted that when I came back to this site to find my friend who had been heavier than me was now 100lbs lighter than me because she stuck to her plan. I'm making a conscious decision to just keep going this time and I'll be the one who is 100lbs lighter at some future point!

Hi Kukkie

Vixsin -- You had an exciting March! Good job on all you accomplished Aww..that was very sweet of Maxwell

Kris -- Don't worry about the bounce. Are you expecting TTOM too? It may give you less overall weightloss for March, but you still did great, and you'll get to count those 2lbs in April instead! ...going to check out your blog

Bulletproof -- Excellent job in March my friend! You are burning up the pounds like nobody's business. Don't let a few bad days throw you off...look at your overall and focus on that. You don't have to figure out every day, sometimes it just takes longer for our efforts to show up.

Kel -- Great job in March for you too! How long will you be out of commission post-surgery?

I'm up .2 to 181.2, but Tom arrived, so I know for sure that's the reason. I'm down 5.4 for the month. With my weight training, my birthday, and ending with Tom, I am quite happy with that number.

BeTrue - Yep, I agree, eat more. Make sure the wii board is on a flat surface and that you stand centered on it. Also, make sure you are using lots of hand sanitizer and such at school. If you pick up a little bug from one of the angels then it can mess with your weight even before you get symptoms of being sick. When I was teaching I always knew I was about to get a cold or something because the scale got funny. If you have gotten a little bug and added that to the fact that you aren't eating enough that could very easily be 10 pounds even without changing scales. As for the ticker, lots of people do that and they make the ticker being correct a mini-goal. You'll be there soon. Are you allowed to have your phone at school? Set alarms on the phone for snack time.

Vixsin - That is a super awesome NSV!



Congrats to everyone for making it through March!

Morning Ladies! I started the April thread for us
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/100-...ml#post3784488

Thanks. Hopefully April will be at least as good as March. At least I stayed in the teens for March. I would have been even more disappointed if I had left the teens. I think part of it might be the fajitas I had for dinner last night. Even though I made them and I know I made them as healthy as possible, there's still sodium in the seasoning and carbs in the tortillas (whole wheat). Hopefully those 2 lbs will go away quickly and take a few friends with them.

My blog is boring . . . but I stay on plan much better when I keep it updated.

March 25 - 291.4
March 26 - 290.6 (-0.8)
March 27 - 290.8 (+0.2) (net -0.6)
March 28 - 288.4 (-2.4!) (net -3.0)
March 29 - 287.4 (-1.0) (net -4.0)
March 30 - 287.0 (-0.4) (net -4.4)
March 31 - 288.6 (+1.6) (net -2.8)

that's just so depressing to me. even though i know it's likely because i spent 2 days barely eating half of my calories due to nausea from starting the BC and yesterday i was actually able to eat all my calories, and do my exercising again. so it probably moved up because i actually ate something, and i know that's normal. but i hate seeing it go up!

i guess i can't complain too much, that puts me at a total of 11.4lbs lost for march, and that's still good.

i love the story about your son, vixsin, that's too cute.

see everyone in the april thread!

Swim, half a pound is nothing to sneeze at! Considering how easy it is to gain, even holding steady is a huge accomplishment.

BeTrue, hang in there. There's no WAY that's actual weight. I've been thinking about asking my doctor about phentermine. Do you not recommend it, given your current frustration? Or do you like it?

Vixsin, Maxwell sounds like a charmer. You're a lucky gal

Ophelia, wow, awesome loss for March!!

To everyone else, and and see you in the April thread!!
