Down 2 and a half this week, tho up from Sunday. I only ate what should be a maintenance calorie level that day, but whoa did it set me back. (Have to look forward, have to look forward, have to look for....)

I maintained this week. I'm OK with it though, I had 3 days off plan this past weekend, had a great time and had NO problem getting back on track..which is a VERY big difference for me. Normally I would've given up after a few days off plan.
I'm so proud of myself for that

Congratulations everyone! I'm down 2lbs. this week.

Ok I already checked in this week bu tI have decided to change my weigh day to Friday instead of monday!! So from Monday to today I have lost 1 pd!!

I lost another 4 lbs this week. I can't believe it after losing 5 last week that I would lose 4 this week. I upped my water intake over the last two weeks. So maybe that has something to do with it.

I have now lost over 200 lbs from my heaviest and a total of 129 since last April. I am so happy to be out of the 90s. Now I know there is no chance of jumping back over that 300 mark. I'm only 43 lbs away from my goal. That's just unbelievable.

I just finished posting my congrats over in the Memorial Day Challenge thread, Howie, but I find there's still some inside of me that really want to get out, so...

WOO HOO, GOOD FOR YOU! CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE!!

(This is one of those cases where its not rude to yell)

OMG Howie :Bravo:. I'd do a cartwheel for you if I wasn't wearing a dress today That is so awesome and a perfect start to the holiday weekend. You are doing so well.

congrats to the rest of the losers in here.

I'm terribly proud of the H-Man! I'm proud of all of you, but I have kind of a soft spot for that one fella, especially.

At least this week I did lose 1/2 pound, near as I could tell with the slider scale at the doctor's office. My ticker's stuck again this week since 1/2 pound increments don't show. Something's got to give, and it's me. I'm cutting back on my calories from 1600 to 1500/day, and I'm not going to eat after midnight (I go to bed around 3:00am owing to our weird schedule).

Your ticker should say 225 though you are 224 1/2. You still have 226. Come on get with the plan. I'm proud of you too. You have really been sticking to plan and are doing awesome.

It can't be said enough 'YEAH' - way to go Howie, you truly are the incredible shrinking man. Way to go! You have worked so hard and it is showing.

You are an inspiration to us all...

I don't weigh myself till next weekend. But you guy are on the ball. Is everyone losing naturally (meaning just working out and eating right). I know there's no easy way(gastric bypass) just faster (there's always a trade off). I'm just working out and trying to eat right. And it seems to be coming off so slow.

I've just been eating right and counting calories. 1800 a day. I've not got the exercise where I would like it to be but I'm working on that also.

As always thanks for the kind words everyone. It would be a lot harder with out all of you.

Well Howie I guess I'll be going to go back to counting calories, I want to just like you when I grow down (he he he). I to impressed with you and your girl.

Great job Howie!! You are doing SO well

Ah Kimberley, slow and steady, it's amazing how those 1/2 - 1 pound losses really add up.

Rea - there are no quick fixes when you have more than a couple pounds to lose.. unfortunately.. I'm definitely into that instant gratification. They say that diet is 80% of losing weight, so thats the first place to start! Good luck with your journey!

I had my weigh in on Friday, and I'm the same. Which I will TOTALLY take! My mom was here Friday - Tuesday, and then my brother got here Wednesday until Thursday. I ate out almost every single meal, and not healthy choices either.
