mandydawn - 100 lbs down! Wow, I can't even imagine that yet. I'll have to get to 175 before I can do that victory dance. I sort of feel like by the time I hit 100 lbs off, I'll call it goal. I like my body at that weight. I've set my ultimate goal for 154 since that's when I'll no longer be "over weight". ho-hum.

Well, I'm attempting a little mini money making endeavor and I'm not sure I think it's worth a flip yet. I'm apart of a lot of mommy groups on facebook and one of them was like "Hey all of you stay at home moms, here's how I make $100 a month for freebie spending or groceries or whatever." Well, that sounded pretty darn good to me since I would like to make a small income so we're not so tight and can maybe actual keep money in our savings account. Anyways, It's called CashCrate.
Have any of you heard about it or used it? I've earned $5.63 tonight but you have to earn $20 before they'll send you a check. I guess I'll let y'all know after the month is up if I like it or not. I was hoping to make $50. It's mainly just taking surveys. I sort of feel like I'm going to spend hours of my time trying to answer these stupid surveys and then not hit the $20 mark. Know what I mean? DH is all for it, for now. I'll see.

Well I hope everyone has an AMAZING weigh in tomorrow. I really would love to be down lower than today, but I think my salt was too high today

Nighty-night!

I've never heard of it but I hope it works out for u.

I just weighed here at home and it looks like I lost 2 more pounds! I go by the scale at work so I will have to see when I get there, but it looks like I'm at 252 today!

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

100lbs lost is an awesome achievement! You are so close mandy! in 2011 I went from 315.6 to 267.4. I went through a rough time after that and my weight loss was put to the back burner until this year when I decided to get serious about it again. I had ballooned back up to 309 so I was really mad at myself for undoing all my hard work! All this to say, this time, neither of us will get off track! We can do this!

mj sodium is a KILLER for me too. If I go over 1800mg I always end up with a gain, no matter how much water I drink!

Nagazim congrats on breaking through your plateau but most of all for sticking through it! The scale kept bouncing back and forth for days before I was finally break into the 260s!

AFM, I am doing C25K. My knees are killing me today so I am taking a rest day. Scale is up to 269.4 but I am sure it has to do with my sodium intake yesterday. Still ecstatic to be in the 260s!!!!

Way to go on the 2lbs Mandydawn!

Good luck with the surveys Nagazime.

Don't worry justaloozer. I think the running probably caused some muscle swelling hence water retention.

Not sure about my weight. It keeps creeping up, but my clothes are getting a little bit looser. Hoping for a whoosh back down to 251.8. I really want to get to the 240's.

Congrats Mandydawn on reaching and passing 255. I was 255.6 this morning and I'm thrilled! you keep up the good work, those 240's are calling your name!

Mara you are probably right!

Well my scale is now fixed. Well actually fixed it monday. I went up 4 lbs but I decided to have a bit of a cheat week and get rid of my cravings. I've since lost the weight plus .4 more. I did have a lot ofsalty foods on weekend so I think it was mostly water weight. I also realized I got the gift the keeps on giving - fleas. So I have been very busy cleaning and spraying. Decided to wash every piece of clothing and linen in the house and am about 2/3 done. I also have gotten 2 out of 3 bedrooms done. I'm pleased with the progess as I only started yesterday. Hopefully by the weekend it will all be done. With all this housework who needs exercise!

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. oohh NSV today. I am no longer moridly obese. Yea me. Next mini goal -lose 25 lbs.

Way to go ainslie!

I made it back down to 253.2 this morning. Hopefully no backtracking this time.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

ainslie!!

I am 268 this morning!

Reading your post made me think to check mine (last I checked I was still morbidly obese) and guess what?!!!!! I'm out of it too!!!!

Great job Only Believe. It's so nice not to have morbidly in front of any description of ourselves. Next stop plain old obese. Never thought I'd be happy for that

Justaloser congrats on getting out of the 270s. I'm sure the 60s will fly by. And only 3 lbs to your goal. You go. I'd give you a dancing thingy but I don't know how to get them from here.

Mara think happy thoughts. I'm dure we'll both be in the next decade before long.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY

Only Believe & Ainslie - GREAT JOB! I'll be very excited to get my BMI down out of the morbid range.

I am so frustrated. Day three of water retention. Yesterday I ate within my caloric range, drank like a camel and had a beast of a workout at the gym and still can't shake it. It's days like this that I'm most tempted to say "screw it" and just binge but I know if I stick to the path there's no way that the weight won't start coming down. 253.4...sigh. Have a great weekend everyone!
