  • Still holding breath I've made it past 142. Will rest easier once I'm out of 140s.

    Was doing well today but nibbled on some cheese and crackers after the gym. Roll on tomorrow and my mega workout day.

  • I dropped another 1.5 lbs this morning, although I’m not sure it was real. Normally I weigh myself when I first get up, which is about 6 am. This morning, I didn’t get up until 8:30 am, since I’m still sick and taking medication that makes me groggy. So, I suspect some, if not all, of my 1.5 lb loss was due solely to weighing much later than normal this morning. We’ll see whether or not this loss sticks tomorrow morning.

    Turtle: Yeah…back in the 150’s!

    Jacqui: A half pound is good! It’s a shame you don’t take after me, since I hate pumpkin, so you wouldn’t be tempted. That said, I hope you enjoy your treat day!

    Joy: Glad to see you lost again.

    Minneey: Let’s both get out of the 140’s quickly!

    Woodstock & 183StGB: No change is better than a gain!

    Sum: October is YOUR month…way to go!

    Amanda: I hope you’re back to your ticker weight very soon.

    Rhiko: Good luck getting into the 64’s…walking will help.

    Healthytobe: Welcome!
  • yesterday's weigh-in: 76.6kg (175.5lbs)
    yesterday's calories: 1800
    yesterday's exercise: 10k
    today's weigh-in: 82.2kg (181.1lbs)
    change: +2.6kg (+5.6lbs)

    like seriously? I couldn't gain this much in a day if I tried.
    Wherever this came from, I hope it's gone just as quick.

    On a happy note, I'm back to running after 3 weeks basically without. I ran 10k yesterday - 20minutes slower than the last time I did that distance on 9/29, but I was glad I was able to pull through.
    I went on my 'hard' track this morning, it's really steep uphill, and it was so foggy I couldn't see more than 5m, but it was really relaxing and fall makes everything look so pretty. I'm Feeling sore now, but it let's me know I did something

    Jacqui_D yay pumpkin Festival!! :P

    Tuscany I hope your drop was real! And feel better soon

    Joy well done on your all time low!

    take care everyone

    GW: 76

    183StGB: feeling sore from exercise means you're retaining water. No worries -- it will be off in no time!
  • Yay! I woke up today to a Big Daddy Whoosh! I weigh 184.5, half a pound down from last Saturday and 3.5 lbs down from yesterday! Thanks Whoosh Fairy! Now I can enjoy cheat day with no worries!

    Tuscany, wow, congrats on the new low! Oh my, pumpkin is my all-time favorite flavor, with mint chocolate coming in a close second!

    Joy, yay! Good job!

    Sum, way to make it stick!

    183, I've been completely stressed out about my weight spikes all week and then today--whoosh--all gone! Don't worry, it will go back to normal! And yes, I'm looking forward to the pumpkin festival today, haha!

    Minneey, still looking good!

    Woodstock, good job being prepared for the weekend!

  • I’m starting to think these losses are real! I had an early morning appointment and was up at my usual 6 am today…and the scales showed another ½ lb loss. That puts me in the 130’s and only a half pound away from goal…yippee!! I hope I can hang on to the 130’s going forward!

    Turtle: Yeah…you remain in the 150’s!

    Jacqui: That’s wonderful news. Enjoy your pumpkin! My all-time favorite flavor is something I ate for the first time when I was in Italy: dark chocolate gelato. OMG…never in my life have I tasted anything SO delicious!

    Joy: Yeah…you too will soon be at goal. I’m so happy for you.

    MrsKevin: Glad to hear you’re doing well.

    183StGB: Not to worry…that’s just water weight due to your new exercise. It will disappear soon.

    Sum: Way to stay in the 140’s!
  • Bad day today. Didn't weigh in. Definately off plan - second day this week. Looking for some healthy dinner ideas for Sunday night... Something that feels like a treat (hate Mondays) but is healthy healthy healthy... Will check the other threads for inspiration.

    Saying a good night wish not to be back at 142 tomorrow!

    Thank you Congratulations on being 1lb away from your goal.

    Quote: Rhiko - Dominos can be a killer. I actually have a list of non food related rewards. I'm trying not to associate food with anything other than fuel. (Its not totally working, but I'm trying).
    Yeah, after this round of food rewards, I'm not doing it again. I'll get a haircut or some nice clothes next time. (I get a haircut once a year lol )

    Quote: Rhiko, good job! Keep it going!

    Thanks I did keep going and....


    64.5kgs!

    I suspect the whoosh has come from my 10km run that I did two days ago. Either that or my TOM weight is being kind this month (which I doubt). If I hadn't had that pizza, I could have been at my goal for the month, or at least very close. Oh well, lesson learned.
  • 196.4 this morning...FINALLY, after 10 days, downward movement on the scales! That's a total loss of 5 lbs. this month for me but at the rate I'm losing (1 lb in 10 days!) I won't make the 7.4 lbs. goal I set!

    Ever since I got into ONE-derland I started losing sooooooo slow!
  • yesterday's weigh-in: 82.2kg (181.1lbs)
    yesterday's calories: 1800
    yesterday's exercise: 1h run
    today's weigh-in: 80.4kg (177.2lbs)
    change: -1,8kg (-3.9lbs)

    the mystery weight is leaving!! woohoo!

    thanks for the encouragement, Gardenerjoy,Jacqui_D and Tuscany!!

    Have a great Sunday!
