  • I'm at 252!!!! So close to hitting 249. I'm hoping by the end of the week. Somehow I managed not to gain anything over the weekend, but I also didn't lose. Overindulged a little with wine last night, I think I'd be down to 251 if I didn't. Oh well, today is a new day!
  • Way to go banditbear!

    It is my TOM so I am trying to not give in to the urge to eat tons of icecream. I skipped the scale this morning.
  • I hope everyone is doing well this week and that the scale is being nice.

    It is not! I've got some water retention going on but I'm more than confident that I'll be moving down soon! It can't hold out forever.
  • I'm feeling pretty great today. I made a decision to go low carb starting on Sunday so I've got a lot of preparation to go through but if I put in the time to plan and prepare, I KNOW it will work for me. Low carb has always been the most effective thing for me and I need it to help get my PCOS under control. So I'm hoping for some really great things to come.

    And I had an epiphany yesterday. I am not fat. I have fat. I wrote about the damage that the idea of "being fat" has caused me in my life on my blog yesterday, so if anyone wants to read it, I'd love your feedback on it! https://happilymelaafter.wordpress.c.../01/28/my-fat/

    I won't be offended if you don't read it. I just think I needed to remind myself that there's a lot more to me than my emotional struggle with my body and my addiction to food. And there's a lot more to you too.

    Have a great Wednesday everyone!
  • Mela,

    I read your blog post. I felt like you wrote about my very own childhood and teen years. "The funny one" is how I've always been described. I also really appreciate the perspective you have about having fat, but not being fat. I really enjoyed reading it even though it felt like I've reopened my own wounds. It was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks so much for reading it! I had so much feedback from friends on my Facebook post that I wanted to share it with others because while I was writing it I just felt so convicted that we put so much of our own value in the size of our body because we are conditioned to do so. And so many of our stories are so similar it is amazing.
  • Hold strong Mela! The scale may be stubborn but you are right that is cannot hold out forever. I tried reading you post but cannot here at work. I will try it at home.
  • I'm officially out of the 260s and into the 250s today. 9 pds to go.
  • imthegoddess yay for the win! Welcome to the 250s. Hopefully we both get out of this decade sooner than later!
  • I hope you see ya'll tomorrow. I hit 269.8 yesterday morning...but must of had too much sodium yesterday and I saw a slight gain today. Weekends drive me nuts sometimes! Just wanted to drop in and say hi!
  • I spent the weekend eating my feelings and am back up to 261. I'm not changing my ticker this time because I WILL go back down.
  • Stepped on and am down 2 pounds this week! Although, I was up 2 pounds the week before so I guess this is actually me being down 4 pounds.
    Either way, I am coming in at 253 this morning! 4 pounds to go until I'm below 250 which is a big point for me.

    Hope everyone else had as good of a start to the week.
  • I've been sick and eating whatever I want for the past week or so. I was surprised to weigh in yesterday with only 3 ounces weight gain. I was even more shocked when I weighed today with a 3 pound loss! I cried a bit, honestly. I'm down about 22 pounds from my start weight, smaller than I was before either of my pregnancies and I'm closing in on my wedding weight (that I estimate to be around 250).
    I have never had success like this on my own! I am very thankful and I look forward to getting down into the 250s!
  • 268.8, I'm officially here....now I just hope my stay isn't too long!

    Hope all you chicks are doing well today!
