Goal weight- 112 lbs
I'm okay where I am though
I took two pills in one day and somehow got my period..umm whoops?!? Not supposed to happen until a week from now. That's a new one in twenty years. It lasted over a week, it's usually three days. Weird. I am assuming that's why the weight went up and down.
School starts on Monday, so my life will be different. It might be easier to eat healthy since things are more regimented. The exercising won't be as easy but I'm going to try to exercise every day. Last year I left at 5:30 am and got home at 7 pm so it was hard.
I have always wanted to be able to do even one pull-up (of course I do nothing about it, I just magically want to be able to do one!)
same here! ..aaand 20 push-ups and i'd be happy just knowing i CAN do it btw what do you do to lose weight? that's a nice monthly weight loss!

Wow, thanks, I always think how painfully slow it is.
I am doing my own version of a diet called Ideal Protein (there is an active forum here and I was slowly convinced by the successes I saw). It is basically a very low calorie, low carb, low fat (hmmm... what is left??? hence the low calorie) and "moderate" protein diet. It relies a lot on processed proteins, which I don't like, but also includes a lot of veggies and one "real protein" meal per day. I'm mostly vegetarian so I make lots of substitutions. Basically I look at the big picture: I track everything and look for the day's overall stats to be approximately: Less than 1000 calories, net carbs in the 30-50g range, protein in the 95g range and I don't worry about fat. I also always make sure I hit at least the minimum daily nutritional requirements. It sounds crazy that this diet is so low cal, but somehow it has all worked out so far ... I was more hungry on FAR more calories when I was in constant binge mode. And I am eating much healthier (processed protein products aside).
BUT I think I am getting diet fatigue after 4 months of this (20 pound loss). A lot of extra things are slipping in! Ugh. But since I track, I know what the damage is. And it is still far, far better than it used to be
Oh and I am not exercising really at all! That is coming in my next iteration, which may begin next week.

Kristip,
You remain an inspiration. I still think all the time, "she's doing it, it's possible!"
I'm still at 1500 calories, I know you are much lower. I give you credit. I refuse to be hungry so it is what it is over here.
It's gotten a lot harder! Like climbing a mountain, pulling yourself up foothold by foothold! I'm still between 900 and 1000 calories most days, but never say no to good food in "new normal" amounts. I'm learning to eat when hungry until I'm not hungry and I'm really not hungry nearly as much at this weight. I've definitely slowed down to a more sustainable loss and am definitely transitioning a bit. I'm trying to increase my daily steps (sedentary job), and generally be more active.
Breakfast: 2 cups of mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries), a latte with skim milk and 2 tsp sugar.
Lunch: 6 inch sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub from Subway
Dinner: 1/3 plate of Mongolian Beef, 2 cups hot and sour soup, 1/2 veggie spring roll, 1/3 cup fried rice
Snack: 1 cup diced watermelon, coffee with 2 tbsp half and half
Good, round meals, plenty of food and not a bit hungry in between and just over 1,000 calories. I love food! I'll be a bit bloated tomorrow, but it's TOM anyway, so too bad. lol.
..aaand 20 push-ups and i'd be happy just knowing i CAN do it 
1 hour stationary bike, around 20min stability ball butt lifts + crunches + a bit of weight lifting, 15 kettlebell squats
