Happy mother's day guys.

SW: 150.6
GW: 145.6, which honestly would be an unusually successful month for me

May 1 - 150.6
May 2 - 149.4 (-1.2)
May 3 - 149.2 (-0.2)

May 9 - 148.2 (+0.2)
May 10 - 147.4 (-0.8; -3.2 for the month)

Starting: 138. Goal for end of month: under 130.

4/30- 139

5/3- 137

5/7- 135 <- unexpectedly holding steady!
5/8- 135
5/9- NWI
5/10- NWI
5/11- 135

I'm really happy with my 135 today! I had a lot of carb heavy foods this weekend- one meal that was primarily pasta and garlic bread and another that was on a bed of white rice. I feel very bloated today (it's PMS time as well), and I can tell that the 135 has a lot of digestive influence! Now back to the grind!

Looks like people are doing really well! I had a bit of a different scenario yesterday, where I decided to stop my semi-fast and have a bucket of unbuttered popcorn at a movie instead.

The surprise was, I still lost! But this does not bode well for making weight by Wednesday morning. I may have to just reconcile myself to not losing this week, as there's another celebration smack-dab in the middle of it. We'll see!

SW: 150.6
GW: 145.6, which honestly would be an unusually successful month for me

May 1 -- 150.6
May 2 -- 149.4 (-1.2)
May 3 -- 149.2 (-0.2)
May 4 -- 148.6 (-0.6)
May 5 -- 149.2 (+0.6)
May 6 -- 149.2 (0)
May 7 -- 149.0 (-0.2)
May 8 -- 148.0 (-1.0)
May 9 -- 148.2 (+0.2)
May 10 -- 147.4 (-0.8)
May 11 -- 148.0 (+0.6; -2.6 for month)

I know with this thread, it is daily weights but I only count weekly as my "real" weight loss (mental thing ). If I take Mondays as my weigh-ins, my weight loss since going "on plan," which was a month ago, is:
April 13 -- 154.8
April 20 -- 153.2 (-1.6)
April 27 -- 151.4 (-1.8) (switched to a low carb plan on April 29)
May 4 -- 148.6 (-2.8)
May 11 -- 148.0 (-0.6)
= 6.8 pounds lost in 4 weeks = avg 1.7 pounds/week = good progress for me!

IF I continue at this average rate, I could lose 5.1 more pounds by June 1, which would put me at 142.9, which would be ASTOUNDING progress for me.

ugh just trying to stay positive... got a little/lot bingey last night - I actually know the exact trigger, seeing a photo of myself - and that scares me. Trying to keep rational during this process.

ANYWAY in my very longterm plan that I have outlined, today is the day I start "exercising" again, whatever that might entail. At the minimum I will go to the gym and do something... anything... treadmill, stair-stepper, yoga class.... weights come later in my plan...

5/1/15 - 147.6
5/2/15 - 149.4 <-- Not bad at all, considering I ate a ton and after cut off...
5/3/15 - NWI
5/4/15 - 151
5/5/15 - 151 <--- Oy... I'm eating candy... why???
5/6/15 - 149.6
5/7/15 - NWI
5/8/15 - 150.4
5/9/15 - 150
5/10/15 - 150
5/11/15 - NWI (not good...)

uuuughhhh... so the TOM bloat has yet to shift and I made some not so great choices yesterday, so am stuck with a bit of a chub today. Trying not to let this discourage me.

Hi All! I know I'm late to the party but I'd love to join this thread!! I have been a member of the 3FatChicks forum for a while when I started Ideal Protein a few years ago. Ideal Protein made me lose 30 lbs FAST, but then I gained most of it back. IP helped me lose it again, but then gained. I'm learning that calorie counting and staying active (fitbit!) is the best way to lose weight so you don't deprive yourself. The weight doesn't come off as fast, but I'm not miserable lol. With that said, I have not been very strict this month for many reasons (my birthday, family in town, etc). But, I still want to see progress. I'd like to be to 140 by the end of the month. Here is what I have so far:

5/1 - 144.8
DISNEY vacation for my Bday
5/4 - 146.2
5/5 - 145.8
5/6 - 145.4 - Went to Melting Pot - YUMMMM
5/7 - 145.4
5/8 - 144.6
5/9 - 143.8
5/10 - 144.6
5/11 - 145.6

Was not good this weekend... Pizza, Cookies, etc. Also TOM. But I am much better when I get to the weekday routine, so, so far so good on this Monday.

I look forward to hanging out with you all!
