  • Thank you jenny & betty!! That fight class sounds awesome! I'd like to get into more group classes myself.

    No change in weight today. Still 175.75 lbs. TOM was due today but didn't show up. The bloat is here though.

    I have exactly 2 weeks until I leave my home state of Michigan and move to Virginia. I'm SO excited! My goal was to get as close as I could get to my 2013 low (165.00) before leaving and I'm only 10.75 pounds away from it! I'm so thrilled about that! I still have two weeks to go so maybe a couple pounds more is still possible
  • 170 on the dot exactly this morning. Come on, scale, really?!? Don't tease me like that.
  • 171.6 this morning. Exciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiited!!

    We'll see how things go tomorrow before my official weight in on Monday.
  • Great job, Paulitens!

    I weighed in at 174.50 this morning, which is 1 lb down from yesterday AND TOM started this morning. Yippeee!
  • Yay, Novus!!! You are almost there!

    I got to 168.6 last week but didn't post here; I wanted to stay under 170 two weeks in a row before getting excited. Sure enough, I was at 171 yesterday. I just can't seem to figure this out.

    I am going to do something radical (for me) and start weighing myself every day, and see if that helps me in any way. I also had planned to re-start a strength training program tomorrow. I realize that may further stall things for a bit, but perhaps it will all catch up and I'll be on a downward trend again, all the way to my goal weight.
  • Wooooooooooooot! 170.8 this morning! I didn't do a double take because I was so happy with it I didn't want to check my weight again and find out it wasn't right. LOL.

    I know, sometimes I cheat myself like that. :P

    We'll see what the scale surprises me with tomorrow morning on my official weight in.
  • 173.75 lbs this morning Loving it!
  • Great to see you here Paulitens! Looking good for today's weigh in!!

    Well done Olivia!!

    Good idea Cindy, strength training can stall you for a while but I think it's more than worth it in the end.

    I was down 1.3 pounds today, so I am officially not plateauing anymore as that's three weeks in a row with a loss - wahoo!!
  • My official weight in this morning was 171.0. Only six ounces. But hey! As long as it's not going up or staying in the same place, I'm losing!
  • Paulitens: You are almost there, way to go!

    Olivia: Getting closer all the time, you'll be there before you know it!

    Jenny: 1.3 is a great loss, keep it up (er, down!)!

    This daily weighing is weird. I am logging my weight on a thread somewhere around here, but not updating my "official" weight on my ticker until my usual weigh-in day, Saturday. Yet today I am a full 3 pounds lighter than yesterday! I just don't get it. I am happy, because the scale said 167.8, but I can't understand the radical (to me) ups and downs from day to day. I am anxious to see what it says on Saturday.

    Edited to add:

    I found that other thread with the daily weigh-in, thought I'd start adding it in here. I noticed they do that in the "Getting out of the 160s" thread. (Yes, I peeked in that thread, just to see what it was like.... I can't wait!! lol)

    6/1: 171
    6/2: 170.6
    6/3: 167.8
  • Thanks ladies!

    Wow, forkeeps2013!! What an awesome loss overnight!! I'd like to pull those kinds of numbers!! Congrats on the 160's!!

    I was down 1 lb this morning to 172.75 lbs. Getting closer to the 160's. Looking forward to getting to my next mini-goal
  • Hi Olivia! You're doing so well! Looks like I'm out of this thread....this morning I was at 169.4! I'm so excited! I just have to be patient because I'm already itching to see a 5 after that 1. Best of luck to everyone!
  • Olivia: Wow, 1 pound is awesome!

    luckymommy: Yay!!! I will see you in the next thread, as long as my "official" weigh-in day on Saturday is good.
