up 4 pounds of water today! I had pizza and cocktails so it's no wonder, but I did ride 30 miles on Saturday and 11 miles Friday night. It will come off by Wednesday, it usually does. But I do have to reign myself in soon so that I can go to Vegas under 150...I've got 3 more weeks!
Hi all! I'm new to this thread
I just hit 157.8 and thought it was time I joined this thread.
I hope I can stay in this thread although the holidays are coming up!!
I'm out of here! I've reached my goal of 150 lb. which is a normal BMI!
Until Christmas, I will continue but then take a break. The next goal is 65kg, then hopefully 130 lb. There is still a lot of fat on my thighs that I'd like to lose.
Starting December at 158.5. I think it'll be a good month - my girlfriend who can be my worst influence (and also my best!) and I joined Planet Fitness yesterday. Combined with results from my VAP test, which is a much more detailed cholesterol test, I am suddenly much more motivated to stay on the improvement path.
Congrats, Alienor! What a loss you've had! Best wishes on your next "decade"!
Hi, Muguet!
Cute Butterfly, good job on the half! My scale only measures in halves. I think knowing tenths would make me crazy(er) anyway.
love2b150, we had a great Thanksgiving out. 4 course meal of very reasonable portions, so I ended up eating quite a bit less than I would have, left to my own devices. I had the salmon and it was perfectly cooked - divine! No leftover mashed potatoes and gravy in the house, or half a pie ... it's all good. Kinda $$$, but for this year, worth it. Major congrats on the 152.8 - rockin' it!
Syckgirlsfv - no doubt in my mind you are going to be seeing the 4's two weeks from now. You got this!
156.5 today. Just paying attention to the details. And wrestling with cutting wayyyy back on alcohol and switching part of the coffee to green tea.
down 2 water pounds this morning already - phew! I feel almost like I'm getting a cold, so I made some chicken broth with cayenne pepper as soon as I got to work this morning, and also took echinacea. It drives me crazy this time of year that people come in to work sick! Luckily I have my own office and it's away from the admin people who keep passing around their sicknesses!

I am very happy for you.

Thanks ... same here with no leftovers. It does make a difference
New to the thread. I was down to 144 at one point this year and maintained it/hit a wall and gave up the fight for months. Now I'm up to 160 and trying to get back on the wagon. I had a good end of November and got to 157 but got discourages quickly when 1400 cals saw me gaining weight and had a few mad binge days. Trying to learn from that and get back. My goal is to be 130lbs by Oct 2015 when I turn the big 4-0! 40 is bad but 40 and fit would make it deal- able. I joined the December Challenge with a goal of 6 lbs. after that I'll settle for 3lbs/mo cuz that would get me to my goal. I just want to have a big December so that a) if I gain over the holidays I'll still get my 3lbs and b) I want to be less than ten pounds up on my low.
Anyhow, I hope you all don't mind if I join this thread. You guys really helped me when I was on track in 2013 and I hope 2015 will be even better!
I'm sick...boo. and drinking so many fluids that I'm up a couple pounds of water again. No reason, just been guzzling water and coconut water, tea, you name it I'm guzzling it! my throat is SO dry I can't help it. ugh.
I weighed in at 156.2 today and hopefully by the end of the month I'll be closer to 150 than 155 I'm 10 pounds away from my healthy BMI now, I almost can't believe it! Also, I'm from Canada so I didn't have the Thanksgiving anxiety but I'm dreading Christmas and New Years already!
Good luck to everyone, especially Fluffypuppy, it's awesome news that you're no longer obese!!!
I'm up a couple pounds today but that is normal from the weekend. It's already dropping since it's water weight.
Major congrats on the 152.8 - rockin' it!
I am very happy for you. 
.... way to go on getting rid of that water weight, You ROCK!
