Northern ~ Thanks! I WI at 174.4 this morning, but I am sick so I am not believing that number for a minute. I drop a few pounds when I'm sick, so I'll wait until my official WI next Friday before I do any celebrating.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend -- mine is going to be filled with sick naps on the couch and movies.
It's the end of the school year and I've been crazy busy...Emme, you're in the mid 170's! Good for you! And Thaisccs, good job on keeping your gain to a minimum! Like Emme said, a lot might be water. (I usually wait a few days to WI after vacation to let my body "detox" a little.)
Well, I'm down 2 lbs this week from my last WI to 176.6. That includes losing a small gain I had around TOM, but I'm at a new low weight by over a lb! 97.4 lbs lost total.
Looking forward to the long weekend. Make it a good one, ladies!

Northern ~ Congrats on your new low!! You are doing so great!! I bet you are glad it's the end of the school year!
My WI this morning was 173.0, so I am officially over the 100 pound mark! My first instinct wants me to go out and eat like crap to celebrate, but I have to stay focused on the goal...
Yay, Northern and Emme! You two are doing great!
Emme, congrats on losing over a 100 lbs!
And Northern, you're almost there as well! So awesome!
Yeah, some of it might be water weigh... and I'm back on plan (sort of, minor slip ups) and back to my workouts! Keeping my fingers crossed this weekend will bring good news!
Congrats everyone for inching down to the precious 169 and below! I'm really pushing to get down there - its been much too long since I've seen a 16X. Sometimes I get obsessively fixated, but I know that can't be healthy. I'm trying not to get over stressed about reaching it, because of course thats when you have that inexplicable weight loss stall or gain (half of my brain blames the stress hormones, though I doubt really that that could be it). Plus that time of the month is just around the corner so I really just need to chill out. It will come, but I am not a patient person!
There's this guy and I got involved and now I'm all over the place because of him... I either overeat or don't eat at all, both cases are just as bad for me... I can't believe I'm letting someone else ruin my progress!
Emme: WOO-HOO!!! 100 lbs lost, you go girl!!! You're going to be outta here in no time!
Furnace: I hear you on losing patience...hang in there though!
Thaisccs: Emme already said it, but NO man is worth putting off your progress for!
As for me: My last day of work for the school year is Friday, and I've decided I need a mental break from everything, including strict calorie counting. I am still going to do my weekly weigh-ins and I'm NOT going to go back to my old habits...but I am OK with just maintaining for a month or two right now. (Losing--at ANY rate--would be a bonus, of course!) Hopefully you guys will be out of here pretty soon anyway, but if I'm not checking in quite as often, you'll know why I will pop in and say hi though, and hopefully catch up with you guys on the 160's thread one of these days

Northern ~ Good for you for taking a mental break. I think it's important to listen to what our bodies/minds need. It will be a nice break for you to relax on the strict calorie counting -- enjoy!
I've been crying so much that I think that's where I'm losing weight: in tears.
I have not been eating my feelings, which is a huge victory , but I lack motivation to move.
I don't want to get out of bed and go to the gym. So today I'm giving myself an out. I won't got to the gym today. I'll pick it back up again tomorrow and I promise myself I'll get better.
I can't let this get to me anymore...
Hope you are all having a good week!
My first instinct wants me to go out and eat like crap to celebrate, but I have to stay focused on the goal...
