  • Loving my mom's scale - slept there last night (as we started our road trip this morning) and this a.m. I weighed 190 - I said "Mom - I think your scale might be off a few pounds" - My Mom "Oh that explains why I always weigh so much at the doctor's office!!!!!" Loved the 190 but know it is totally fantasy!!!!! Long ride - sleeping in Maryland tonight - no way to weigh tomorrow or Tuesday - hopefully something of value to report on Wednesday!!
  • Wannaskipandlaugh What is the Elvis loss? Can you explain for the rest of us who might be out of the loop? Thanks, Lulu
  • Glad you are partway thru your trip Lulu....
    well Elvis ( who is such a wonderful, nice and caring poster) left this place as someone had complained to the moderators about her. Sad Sad Sad.... This happened Friday morning and yesterday alot of us found out that she was gone and I was deciding to quit this place. She is such a delightful and wonderful person and I just could not understand why and what happened. Well I still do not know what happened (but I was reading a running thread Thursday night that got VERY Heated), but as I was telling a thread that I was not posting, someone on that thread told me that she had tracked Elvis down somehow... and is in Email contact with her... Its just a sad state where people start taking things out of context (that is my belief)... But at least I know that she is ok... Sorry to write of a sad thing on this wonderful site...

    BUT I LOVE YOUR MOM's Scale.. Will she share it? It would show me the 250's and I could use a sight like that !!!

    Take care and have a wonderful trip to see the baby!!!
  • Hello Lulu... I hope your traveling is nice and easy today and that you are not caught in any bad rain storms!.... Do you get to see the nephew today?? the new Baby? ahh

    Me stuck stuck stuck... I can't wait until the day that I can actual post a different weight LOL 250s in less than 4 weeks.. well it would have to be some kind of SWOOSH! I tell you!!!
  • Lulu, I love scales that are light. For much of my teens and early 20s, I thought I was 4 pounds lighter than I actually was due to a wonderful lying scale. =) Enjoy the rest of your trip!

    Sue, Im sorry to hear about your friend. It is sad when people misinterpret things and lash out. Im very glad you didnt leave the site though =)

    I wished I had a lying scale as well ... Happy Monday!
  • Hello all! I see you are all keeping up the good fight! Me too!

    Got back on the scale today and it read 164.4. I also noticed a part of my belly looks like it's deflated a little when it was not that way before. So perhaps I am having the peak before the woosh! One can always hope.
  • Hello Nonamortica... Deflated belly? Wow that I have not seen... Oh I hope it is a marker for you.. and a loss on the scale!!

    Lash0rty You are going down down down every day and I am so happy for you. You have the woosh fairy sitting on your shoulder and that is just too cool... Hope the scale rewards you again today!

    Christine? are the extra water weight lbs going away? I sure do hope so... and Elvislover,.. She was such a wonderful poster and answered just about everyone with kindness... I miss her wisdom and humor ALOT...

    ME well I have finally cracked the 260 line and made it to 259.5 just alittle but I am NOT GOING BACK ever!!! Moving forward!!!

    Woo Hoo Have a wonderful day all!1

  • Hey wannaskipandlaugh,

    I'm not symetrical and there is a spot on my belly that developed more stretch marks than the other side and that has kind of flattened, whereas the other non stretchmarked skin on the other side is still rounded. Hard to explain, but I do think it is kind of a marker for me. Hopefully not a stopping place for too long.

    I'm an old lady with scoliosis, and gave up on the "perfect" body ages ago. Down to 163.8 today. Trying out this daily weighing in thing to see if it's helpful.
  • Made it to Tampa yesterday!! Baby Boy is beautiful!!!Full head of hair!!! My sister commented on my weight loss as she has not seen me for 3 months!!! Couldn't weigh yet this am but I am planning to get my hands on a scale!! Eating on plan which is not hard to do as my sister has been totally low carb for years and years!!(She has never been overweight..) Looks like everyone is making wonderful progress!!!!
  • Yeah Lulu.... Glad you made it to my fair state... Tho opposite from where I live (straight across the state to the Atlantic is where I live Port St.. Lucie

    Oh an you get to hold your nephew too Did he smile at you? and smelllsooooooooo good too I bet... Ah...

    Enjoy your wonderful family and hugs to all


    and YEAH I am down another 1/2 down to 259 I really am leaving the 260's in the dust FOREVER!!!! I feel lighter and need to fly thru these 250's I have a goal to meet for 7/4 oh YES I DO!

    Nona... Gosh I know sorta what you mean... I have different lumps on my keister... (not from any troubles tho) My right keister is bigger and harder (fat) then my left and is so weird that that happens. No old lady my friend just young minds here! )

    Christine... OH WOW,, You are ahead of IAN oh yes you are!!! Onderland this week? I AM Rooting for you!!!
  • Hey everyone! The 4th of July isn;t a special occaision where I live, but it is the day before my boyfriend's birthday, so I wouldn't mind losing a bit before then.

    SW (6/12): 143.9lbs/65.4kg

    GW (7/4): 137.3lbs/62.4kg
  • Still haven't gotten a weight yet - the scale is in my sister's bathroom and well that's kind of off limits with the new baby but I can live with it!!! I know there is less and less time until the end of this challenge so I think I will be refocusing my goal to just get to 189 during this month!!

    Wannaskipandlaugh Yahoo on getting into the 250s and down!!! That is so awesome - I am so happy for you!!!!

    Nona - One side of my stomach is different from the other because of surgery scars and the right always looks better before the left side. This sounds kind of gross but my fat overhang lifts up first on the right side before the left - probably TMI but I can tell in the mirror.

    Looks like everyone is doing great!! Really hoping I have some great news to report weight wise and the baby "love" is just wonderful!!! Enjoying the journey!!!!!
  • OMG - Got on my sister's scale - reporting 192!!! and she says it is accurate!! Enjoying the journey: Take 2!! Loving this morning!!!
