Happy loser here! I'm 228lb as of this morning. Down 6lbs! I hope I can keep it up this weekend. I work Sat night 7am to 7pm. We do a lot of snacking. I did well last weekend. I pre measured some baked tortilla chips and salsa and that is what I nibbled on.
Have a great weekend.!
Christy

Great Job Christy!!!!!!

*Sigh* I gained .6 this week. I was kissing the official 25 pounds lost (I was at 24.8!!!) but I just can't get things together.

I'm going through a terrible tough time and I don't want to think about anything. I just want to eat what I want to when I want to.

I'm really stressed and pretty depressed.

But it won't be forever. I just need to take care of myself really well right now. And that includes not beating myself up for not eating OP.

I'm with you, F&L. I was really hoping to get my first 10-pound nanner this week. But instead, I gained 2 POUNDS! I deserve it, I know, because I made a lot of bad choices over the week ... but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. Very, very discouraging to have such a big-*** gain a month into my new program. How the **** is it that you can stay perfectly OP all week and lose 3 pounds, but then two days of bad choices brings 2 of it back, no matter how good you were the rest of the week? It sucks eggs. It really does. Blah. And now my heart slider numbers are all bunched up again. Oh,well... back to being serious again.

One thing I know I will change is getting back to NOT drinking diet soda. I had gotten away from it, but added it back this week because I was so bored with water. But I simply don't need it.

Hope everyone has great weigh-ins this week! Don't follow in MY footsteps! LOL

You two will pull out of it in no time. just don't give up hope!

I stayed the same this week.

Kinda nervous. Weigh-in is tomorrow morning!

I stayed the same. I am 211. I was 212 when I started meetings again last July. I need to look at this as a fresh start

Good luck tomarrow Maggie

Or should I say Good luck today since it is Wednesday afterall...I am lost this week LOL

Misty, you KNOW that staying the same is better than gaining. So, yay for you! ANd yes you do need to look at this as a fresh start. Pretend that this past year never happened, as far as your weight-loss efforts. But do bear in mind -- or motivational purposes only -- how you feel right now when you think about where you are as compared to how you would be feeling if you had worked on it slowly and consistently all year and averaged just a pound a week loss. You would be 20 pounds from goal -- and that's where you can be this time next year. You can and you will!

BTW, check the slider! Four pounds this week or -- TA DA! -- 11 pounds total! I need to sustain this. I must break that 10-pound curse!

Doing the 10-pound Nanner Dance


AND the I Passed A Goal Carrot Dance

YAY Maggie I am so proud of you.

Way To Go Maggie!!!!!!!

Ah, well.. as I suspected ... stayed the same, which is OK. But what pissed me off was when I first stepped on the scale it showed a 2-pound loss. But I always weigh three times in a row to make sure it's accurate. The second time again showed a 2-pound loss. The third time, however, had me staying the same. As did the fourth. So I waited awhile, and the first two times showed a one-pound loss, then the third had me staying the same. Aaarrrgghhhh.... so I'm going to count it as staying the same.

Maggie, staying the same is good! You knew your eating wasn't what you wanted it to be and you were fully expecting a gain, so I say take it and love it!!!!!! Great job, girl!

As for me 213.8, they round to teh whoel or the half so I think it was recorded as 213.5 maybe 214 but I don't think she rounds up. So anyway BIG gain. I am back on track!!!

I found another forum website and it's fun you get points and stuff for recording teh healthy habits you engage in, you know me and playing games and trying to make this fun. I can't post it here b/c it goes against policy. But I love 3fc and it's my "home", but I am going to use all the tools I can find!

I've been way, way off recently. I think about the only thing I've been doing half $ssed right is drinking most of my water. I'm only getting about half in a day but I'm considering that better than the rest of my efforts. I weighed in last night at work on this scale that looks like the one from The Biggest Loser and it put me at 235lbs 4oz and my scale at home this afternoon when I got up from a nap put me at 233.2. I was weighing in on Saturdays but I'm going to weigh in tomorrow and see where I am at considering my eating lately.

Maggie - Maintaining is a good thing, you know that , this week maintaining, next week a big loss!

Misty - sorry you are up a couple of #s. Weekends when I am not working do me in as well and also days like today when I come off night shift and I want to stay up so that I am not wasting what is technically a day off by sleeping half of it away. I went for a nap for a couple of hours and then when I got up I just started eating everything in sight trying to stay awake.

I'll check in here again tomorrow after I weigh in and see what's what.

Morning all. So I maintained my weight so I can't be too unhappy about that considering the way I've been eating. But still, you always have just a tiny bit of hope before you get on the scale that maybe a # or ## has disappeared during the night.
