  • I hate you. I can not break myself of you!

    230.0 ugh. I want to see 229. Even if its 229.8 (which I did see this AM, but only when I accidentally moved on my scale so it doesn't count)

    And I know that I dont have a chance of seeing under 230 this week, as my period is due. And it doesn't matter how well I do with eating or exercise, I will gain at least 4 lbs during it. Which sucks.
  • I feel your pain! I'm wanting to get out of the 240's sooooo bad and it just won't happen. Why must we suffer like this!!!!
  • Awww, you'll get there
  • If you saw 229.8 when you shifted your weight then that means you are soooo close. Probably just a few ounces. Stick to your plan diligently throughout your period and I predict you will be out of the 230's when it is done.
  • You will get there, try not to stress over it too much and who knows maybe after you are done with TOM the scale might just slide right down under 230. I was stuck at around 235 for the longest time and little by little I noticed that the scale went down and then back up and then back down, you get it. It will happen, just gotta be patient.

  • I was floating between 230 and 232 for weeks and it was driving me crazy! Finally I had a sudden drop of 3-4 lbs. Just keep pluggin' along. It will come off eventually.
  • I dropped into the 220's last week - it'll happen! You'll get one of those famous 3fc WHOOSHes after your TOM and plop you'll be at 226 or something
  • Hang in there you will get there soon! The 230s were my worst decade thus far. I was so happy to finally feel like I'm done with them!

    Keep up the great work!
  • I am SO WITH you... the 230's are a drag.
  • I'm with you. I keep fluctuating between 227 and 234. Some of that is my own doing, though (not eating 100% on plan).

    I promise to get right after labor day
  • I've been in 230's forever too it seems!

    But what keeps on happening with me is that i've started this diet 3 times now, (only for a week) lost 5 pounds, and then a month later, i've gained it back. (BACK to the 230's!) GAH!!!

    I feel your pain. lol
  • Thank you all for your encouragement!

    What totally sucks about TOM even more this month, is the 5k I'm doing is on Saturday.

    Here's to all of us getting out of the 230's this week!
  • Depending on where you are in TOM, your energy levels could rise by Saturday
  • Oh, I hope it will be almost gone by Saturday. I have hellish periods. My period is usually right on time, and it better be this week. Its due Wednesday, and as long as it comes on Wednesday I *should* be ok. I hope. I get really bad cramps, I'm so exhausted.

    So I hope its either early, on time, or like a week late. lol. I just do not want it to start Friday or Saturday!!
  • the two thirties gave me a hard time .... i remember that ... idk why thats so but like they said stick to plan and one day youll wake up hop on the scale and out of no where .... 228 ! presto !
