Ugh! The never ending plateau continues here! Going into the weekend like that is probably not good, but I guess we'll see what happens! I hope the rest of you are having better success!
Hi, people. I'm looking for support. Trying to lose about 40 lbs and just feeling discouraged because...oh, you know the usual.
I went looking for new threads and saw this one. It's too late to do 10 lbs by Dec. 1, but I could set a goal of 5. I weigh in kilograms and figure that from my present weight as of this morning of 72 kg to drop 5 lbs would put me at 69.7 kg. I'd like to make that my Dec. 1 challenge.....
I've lost and gained the same 10 lbs over and over again. My weight stabilizes at about 72 kg or a bit more. From mid-October I've lost a whopping 1.8 kg, about 4 lbs and though it was good to do that, I am in that danger area of not being happy with the little I've taken off and ready to just crumble into my usual state of "Oh, what's the point?"
Don't know if you welcome new people, but thought I'd ask....

The more the merrier, redballoon! Welcome to the challenge, and good luck with your 5 pounds, I know you can do it if you focus on your plan!
Another one down today, probably the tail end of my whoosh, but I'm thrilled as yesterday afternoon I blew my plan and ended up the day 300 over with some poor choices. Maybe I'll pay for it tomorrow - we'll see...
Holy cow!!! 180.6 and that was right after I got out of the shower too. I'm reallyreally hoping it isn't a fluke or something because I was really sick with a hangover today.
But why should I be? Its just a number. I know I am shrinking slowly and I just need to keep going. I can do this. Good or bad tomorrow morning I am making progress. The number is just one of many ways to measure
OK, so I'm declaring my challenge to be.....drumroll...
To Weigh under 70 kg by Dec. 1
I weighed 72 kg today but am hoping it was a "high" reading.
**************
kirsteng -- Thanks so much for the welcome! You are almost a full foot taller than I am! It looks like you're making good progress on your weight loss. Congratulations! I really like your reward plan. I have to think something like that up. Oh, and I see you had another whoosh down. I hope it will stabilize lower for you!
amandie -- I am wondering if the scale reading was one you wanted or not? I guess (with the carrot) you were happy about it. However, as I know my way around with hangovers and weight loss, a low reading is the usual because of dehydration. Of course, it could be both with you. Don't (as I often do) overdo it and undo the loss! Best of luck!
howellbee -- Great attitude about the scale tomorrow! You are right. It's just one day and even if you are heading down, you could experience a high reading. Nonetheless, I hope the scale reflects your efforts! Fingers crossed!
OK....peeking in because I am finally out of the 250's!!!! I weighed in at 249 this morning. Still just one pound in nearly a week, but mentally I really wanted to be under 250!!

Those 10-pounds milestones are big psychologically, aren't they? I just broke 180, after bouncing between 180 and 182 for over a week. It's just a pound but it makes a big difference.
I won't make my goal for November but I'm happy to have moved off that particular plateau.
