Yay
krampus for thin days! Coffee always puts me in a better mood too- feeling quite invincible and capable. 3 cups and I'd be on Cloud 9.
Madison your job sounds super fun! Am quite jealous of your Cali trip... guacamole.... *homer simpson gargle*
JLNichols congrats on 140! You'll surely be in the 130s soon. I love the -0 numbers (140, 130). Anything with a zero makes things seem so much smaller and goals that much closer. Just keep that number ringing in your head whenever your TOM cravings for junk food hit- no reason to backtrack now when you are soooo close.
rainbow sorry to hear about being stuck at 137. Alcohol as you know contains a lot of calories, and Chinese food is salty, so that could be it. You shouldn't beat yourself up over it- you have to indulge and treat yourself sometimes. It's about the long-term trend of where your weight is headed, not the itty bitty dips and peaks along the way. (I know I'm a hypocrite because I always whine about plateaus, but easier to give advice than take it right?
). You're doing great and you'll see the weight come off slower and slower as you drop. I like you hit a plateau and realized it was totally in my own hands to fix it- buckle down and eat right, log EVERYTHING, and exercise in some way almost every day. You know what's up and how to get to where you want to be so I have confidence you'll get there.
Laneyy yes what a great goal! 6 lbs is a great target for March. Even if you don't quite get there, you will still have made great progress. Shoot for the moon and if you miss you'll still be among stars, and all that. Sorry you've felt 'bleh' lately- I definitely go through those waves too. From what I've seen just on here you are a smart, kind, considerate, and fun person so I hope you don't lose sight of that.
Kawaii good luck with the "something"! Haha. You girls always impress me with your confidence and adventurousness. I have never dated in my life (been with my BF for 3 years, my ex before that for 2 years, otherwise too lame and shy in high school and early college to date) and it sounds like it always keeps life interesting and exciting. Keep us posted on how it goes!
MiZ best of luck with money issues... I'm waiting for my new job to start and waiting for my next paycheck is stressful. I hear ya on it- nothing you can do sometimes except be patient and do our best.

Had a very lazy weekend, just reading, played Oregon Trail online (!!!) with my bf, ate on-plan, got in some exercise and pool time. It was nice. Had a scheduled chocolate outing last night and deliberately got a chocolate shake. Sometimes you just have to go for it. 128.8 again today, so I'm happy to be able to eat off-plan sometimes and still feel like I'm progressing in the long run to my goal.
