Thanks Bonnie, and I sure hope to see better results soon That's what I needed to add back in was my exercise. It sure does make a difference.

I'm making an attempt to learn to run. I can only run for 30 seconds and then I am so winded I have to slow the treadmill down. I will keep trying to increase my time. I watch other people on the treadmill and they start with a slow warm up and then take off for the remainder of their time. I so want to keep up, but I just look out of the window and do what I can

My husband noticed my jeans are too big. It made me feel so good. I mentioned to him that I was gonna show him and he said he had already noticed.

October loss is 4.2lbs.

BonnieL - Glad to hear you're slowly getting back on track! I hope your back feels better soon

love2b150 - Yay! That's an awesome NSV right there! Keep up the good work

I've been doing well, nothing new to report other than the scale has been really, really nice to me lately. I'm not gonna get too excited yet as I feel like most of it is just water. Can't believe it's almost November already, whaat?!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone

still somewhere near fully OP - biggest thing I still need to add in is exercise

Hoopty - glad the scale is treating you well

Renny - when i was at my highest weight, i want really out of breath and tired just from walking 10 minutes. that was 2 years ago, and now i can comfortably go for an hour. it was a slow process, but has improved a lot. i bet your running will be the same, just stick to it and you will improve over time

thanks Hoopty ... you know I always said (because I had heard/read) that the first 12-15lbs is water ... but when I mentioned it on a thread recently I was asked who said that. SOOOOO I'll just take my loss and run You do the same and we'll keep it moving Yeah I said the same thing on the way to work this morning ... November is here ... WOW!

Bonnie, I am definitely gonna keep at it but you know when I run (attempt) I always feel like I'm going to fly off the treadmill ... isn't that crazy.

Kaitie where are you?

Hi Rennie!

Still trying to get fully OP, eating ok. Will start to add in a little exercise this weekend and see if my back is ok.

I'm here. I've been off plan all week. I ate so much chocolate on Halloween that I made myself sick. :-( I'm finding it hard to focus on my weight while trying to focus on this IVF cycle.

Love: I can run in 30 second - 1 minute bursts. I try to walk, get faster, run and then go back to walk, get faster again, then run and just keep repeating that for as long as I can.

Still not fully on plan, but getting close. Added in a little exercise today. Trying to get back to all the good healthy things I was doing makes me realize how many good things I was doing. Sure is hard to get back there.

Katie - I almost ate halloween candy. Would have done it, but we were running low and DH insisted it was for the kids & that I couldn't have any unless there was extra at the end, and there wasnt. I was vary mad at him at the time, but now I'm glad I didn't have any.

Closer, but not fully OP yet.

Where is everyone?

Heeeeere! I've been OP and slowly losing which I'm very happy with. Just not much to report over here. DH's birthday is this Saturday and we're going to 2 different buffets - one for breakfast, one for dinner. I would like to be close to 141 lbs by then as it would give me some room for water retention/sodium bloat, and then I will make my way to the 130s (hopefully by Thanksgiving )

How's everyone doing?

Good job Hoopty!

I am very close to being fully OP now. Another week or so and I should be all the way there. As of this morning, got back down to where I was before all the regains!

Bonnie how are you doing? Glad to hear you added some exercise. It is definitely hard to get back into it but once I do, I feel so good. Feels like I've accomplished something. How's your back? Nice to hear about this morning Bonnie, way to go

Kaitie, that is exactly what I do. Though I can't get to the minute yet. But I sure do try. I haven't given up to us


Hoopty great plan

I'll be honest I had a interesting eating day today. The rest of the days haven't been too bad but today was like ... OK I can have that, .2 added yesterday was gone today. Silly talk to myself, knowing that .2 is nothing. But I went to the gym and did a 4 mile brisk walk. Since I hadn't been in two days I wanted to take it slow. Plus my knees were popping and cracking every time I got up today so I was afraid to over do it. But will definitely get back to it tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great day tomorrow and me too

Rennie: I can relate to feeling good over the .2, I'm always happy when I'm anything lower (though I also tell myself its a little silly - I'm still happy inside) . Good job on getting back on track before you go too far astray.

Had an OP day today! Yeah! But scale was up a pound and a half for no reason - am trying to ignor it & stick to my plan.

Thanks Bonnie and to staying OP and ignoring that scale You can do it

Another .2 down this morning, but we left the gym then went to Kroger and I was hungry so I ate 3 boneless buffalo wings and an apple grape pack ... hoping for a no gain or another .2

have a good night everyone

Happy Veteran's Day to ALL of our Veteran's … Thank you for your service.

I am down to 181.4 as of this morning. I so hope to get into the 170's soon and stay there. I have been doing pretty good but like you've said Bonnie it's not always 100% but the scale is moving. I am continuing to do my cardio which helped before. I need to get out of the box and strength train with my son. He is toning and dropping weight (we both sweat like crazy). He isn't doing any cardio though he says he will with me today. We shall see

Hello everyone,

After a super high-calorie weekend I am back on track. DH's birthday was awesome, the food was delicious and we had a great time together. I went from 140.6 lbs on Saturday to 144.0 lbs on Sunday to 143.2 lbs this morning. I am hoping to get rid of the weekend-pounds soon!
Today, I went for a 20min HIIT run and lifted weights afterwards. Haven't felt the post-workout happiness in such a long time...
