So today I was down 1.2lbs, which is good but on Friday I was down 3. So the weekend was bad but I will take the loss.

Congrats to everyone on their losses! I found what y'all lost this week! LOL I gained 1.8lbs, but am taking it with stride since I didn't go over on my points. I'm blaming the fertility drugs at this point!

I know I'm way fashionbly late here considering October is almost over... but I just wanted to share I lost 1 lb this week. Not bad considering I had a small fling with some chocolate chip cookies earlier in the week (we just moved & got our oven installed, so I had to try it out to make sure it was chocolate chip cookie worthy). So, that makes a total of 4.2 lbs in 2 weeks. Woohoo!

Sidenote to SoMuch - I subscribed to your blog... your last post had me roaring with laughter (particularly the pictures). My stepmom also did the shot in the butt and I remember her saying how horrible it was. I'm hoping it works for you!!!

Congrats on the loss Dixiemom and Lunchlady!

SoMuchFattitude - Welcome back, glad to hear you're taking that small gain in stride. Fertility drugs can wreak havoc on the body. I agree with TheLunchLady.. your recent blog post was hilarious. Also, happy belated birthday

Awww - thanks for reading, ladies. <3 These fertility drugs SUCK. I look like a 12 yr old hitting puberty with how badly my skin has broken out. Lord almighty.

They've also left me rather...ravenous. I haven't really been tracking this week. It's been bad. Ugh. I just feel like a bottomless pit. I am actually really glad we're going to take a couple of months off from trying if we aren't pregnant this month so I can get all these crazy hormones out of my system...

I'm gonna hope you get a baby the first go around so that you don't have to go through another fertility treatment.

Weigh-ins for a few of the challenges I'm participating in were today. I'm at 234.6. That'd down .8lbs from last week's weigh in. Very close to 2/3rds of the way to my first mini-goal, yay!

[TheLunchLady]

Congrats sunarie! Do you have any special rewards set up for yourself when you get to your first mini-goal?

My boyfriend is gonna give me an extra special massage

I'm also gonna take some progress pictures. Not looking forward to those as much cause I still don't actually see any weight loss. I should probably buy some measuring tape. I have heard at higher weights though, it takes more weight to make a noticeable difference.

[TheLunchLady]

A massage sounds awesome!

Definitely buy a measuring tape, and keep track of your measurements because a lot of times if you aren't losing on the scale, you will notice in your measurements. Of coursre pictures help, too! It can be motivating to look back and see your progress.

To make a noticeable difference... I think it depends on your build. I'm pretty tall (5'8" ish) and it usually takes atleast 10-15 lbs before people notice on me just because of how my weight is distributed. I think it also depends on where you lose your weight first. Don't worry - you will be getting compliments soon enough!

Yeah.. I'm fairly short. I think some of my shirts may be fitting a tiny bit looser, but not much, and it could be my imagination. I'm not gonna knock it though!

I had my halloween binge yesterday. Didn't even track points. Went to a party, had drinks, ate pizza (4 slices total over the day).. and of course candy.. think I ate a total of 6-8 fun sized candy bars. Back on plan today, got the holiday feast out of my system!
