You will do it Seemyfeet!! I bounce between the 190 forum and the 180 forum, really expected to live here forever! Mondays are not usually a good weigh in day for me but it was 188.4 today. I expected more.

I feel ya Seemyfeet! I've got a closet full of clothes it's going to take a w.h.i.l.e. to get back into! Glad to hear you got some rest. That cards going to be here any day now. So far I'm holding steady to my mini goals but have yet to see any change on the scale. Ah well, I've only just started last week.

Whoa Lotsakids! Guess this thread isn't big enough for the both of us!

Congrats!(There's no dancing carrot with a green-with-envy face!)

I'm not here yet. Maybe if I post here, I'll get to Onderland faster...still trying to catch up with you, SeeMyFeet!

Hope to see you all soon

well, that was my strategy, noname. I saw a 1 on the scale and came down here with it. I've been bouncing up quite a bit, and it's been a struggle to move down again. Let's keep plugging along!

188.4 again today, I'm hopefull that I get to stay in the 180's but I'm still bouncing back and forth between the two threads. Finding I have to eat less now to maintain weight and even less to lose it. Slowly cutting back yet again.

Yay! Today is my first official weigh in and I'm down by 4 lbs. I've stuck with my mini goals and looks like it's working. Feelin' good!

Hello Fellow Weight Loss Ladies!

I just found this forum and have been on my journey for a smidge over 2 months now and am so glad to have found this forum. Everyone seems so supportive!!! I have yo-yo'ed my whole life with the leanest weight being around 135 pounds when I was about 21 years old. What I wouldn't give to be that weight again. So here I am on my journey to be the hottie I used to be more determined then ever. The biggest reason of my weight loss goal is to avoid the possibility of pre-diabetes. Scary stuff and I knew that I was creeping up to that point being only 5'2 and over 200 pounds. I am ready for change, a permanent change and think this forum is a great source of encouragement. So THANK YOU!!!!!

I want get a ticker up here but need at least 25 posts, so I will be posting away this weekend!

Hi everyone! Like noname and SeeMyFeet I'm not here officially yet, but just a smidge away. Thought I would come say hi

Oh Hey! everyone!

I've been skipping school.....or placed in detention. I feel the shame of failing an exam that everyone else has Aced, and I'm hiding my papers under my desk! I don't want to go reporting my score on all those threads I signed up for, and I don't know if I should be posting here or if I should go back a grade. Sigh. I decided to keep posting here and not move my ticker up. I don't want to give myself permission to fail. I'm developing a "starting anew" attitude and considering this a minor setback/plateau.

I have been feeling tired and stressed lately and it shows on the scale. I'm keeping track of calories, and I confess I've been consuming more, but only a bit--an extra serving of pistachios here, extra glass of milk there. My coffee consumption has actually been lower (less creamer) because I don't have time to make it. I'm sure it's the lack of exercise and stress--the working with malicious people kind of stress. Anyway, I'm scared because I made zero progress from Feb to Nov of last year, and I don't want to fall into that same trap this year.

Help me out ladies....I'm being sucked into that black hole again!

Or maybe it's just time for me to re-configure things...I don't know....I've been keeping excellent records since Dec 1, and I can see my rate of weight loss steadily drop.

so g'night all. Time for this: (no smiley for kicking my own butt!)

Maybe find a new little goal to work towards. Or shop around until you find a workout that REALLY piques your interest, so that you just HAVE to try it. I'm pullin' for you, I know you're working hard. But at least your mindset is right. Hang in there, I think everyone goes through these rough patches.

Oh hey RiotGirl! Looks like you're here to stay! I'm plugging along. I'm hoping this is bloat and will come off quickly. I've had some RA flareups with swelling recently, so hoping that's it. I'm too impatient and get even more frustrated when I'm not making progress.

It's quiet in here! We need more chatters!

I'm still here too. I've been sticking with my plan but the scale is up a pound. Tomorrow is my weigh in day, we'll see what it says then. No matter what though I've decided this time to have patience with myself. If things haven't changed in the next couple weeks I'll re-evaluate.

I'm going to let Friday's weigh in decide whether I'm officially here or not! haha Don't wanna jump the gun.

Oh No, RiotGirl! There's no going back! Keep moving those boxes in here! They're taking the keys to your old apartment, so it's here or the streets, babe!
