  • Hi Jellybelly! Sounds like you are doing great!

    Laura I'm glad you are feeling better!

    Gemini hope you had a good weekend! I haven’t seen much movement this past week. I’m at 228.2 today. I’m on plan and trying to practice patience!

    Welcome Newby60!

    Hi Ubee!!! Congrats on making it into the 230’s! So glad you are here!

    Have a great day everyone!
  • Hi all. I have been away but have maintained the 221-225 range. Starting the new journey. Since I have maintained so long now to step it up.
  • Congradulations Jellybelly1908!!!

    Quote: Ladies, I thought I'd check in as I'm doing great with my lifestyle changes despite YEARS of not sticking with a healthy diet/exercise plan. I'm not sure what's so different this time (maybe I'm coping with my emotions better), but I happy to be firmly in 220's now. I hope to be in the 210's by September 1st. I'm currently at my lowest weight in 8 years. WOW.
  • Welcome back Davisag! Great job on maintaining your previous loss!

    Thanks Laura and boopchick! It is hard to believe I made it here. When I go to write down my weight I still start to think 24_. Having said that I am eying up the 220's!

    Keep up the good work everyone!
  • Good morning everyone!

    My body seems to be loving the 227-228 range. I weigh 227.6 this morning. Just trying to not stress about it and continue eating on plan. Upon some reflection, I may not be drinking as much water lately and I am feeling a bit "full".
    I am going to increase my water and see if that gets things moving.

    Have a good day!
  • Quote: ETA: Boop - You have lost so much so quickly that your body is probably catching up. I'm sure you'll get another whoosh soon. Hang in there!!! I know patience is tough, but we just gotta do our best.
    Thanks Gemini! I needed to hear that!

    Quote: Hanging tough and been faithful to my plan for 68 days so I feel proud. Probably my longest string of days yet.
    That's fantastic and you should be proud of yourself!
  • boopchick I agree with Gemini6 your body is catching up. Also your body worked hard to get there so try changing up your exercise routine.

    ubee It is hard to believe sometimes on our acomplishments, and that's a great one.

    Gemini6 Congratulations on the longest days in a row!!!

    Thank you everyone for re-welcoming me. Looking forward to getting to the 210 list by the end of the year.

  • Well the scale finally budged out of it's comfort zone and reads 226.6 this morning. I won't celebrate until I see that it's going to stick but it sure was nice to see a change. Have a great day everyone!
  • Gemini6 you are so close just a little bit to go and you will be free of this thread and clearing the path for the rest of us!

    boopchick you have been doing so well I really agree that your body just needs to catch its breath before you go on another weight loss run.

    Davisag how are you doing?

    I am doing well and love seeing 23_ pop up on the scale! I know I will be sick of it soon...
  • Oh Gemini6 you are so close. I hope you get a big whoosh to reward you for all your patience!
  • Gemini! I'm cheering you onto the next "decade"!

    226.2 this morning. I'm leaving for a couple of days to the Cape early tomorrow morning so will check in when I return.

    Thank you for the words of encouragement Ubee, Davisag & Gemini!

    Rock on ladies!!
  • I lost 1.8 lbs this week which brings me down to 225! I wanted to be at 219lbs by Sept. 1st, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm still happy with my progress though.
  • Good job JellyBelly! Your progress is great and I'm glad you are happy with it. We need to be our own best friend.
  • I whooshed down 3.2 pounds this week to 236.6!
  • I understand Gemini6, I always feel the same way.
    I lose slowly and the scale jumps around but overall it shows a downward trend.
