UGH! .5# back on! I am program compliant, drinking my water (which is hard for me because I do not like to drink water, but I'm doing it each day) and this little gain (1.5#) sticking around is really starting to fray my last nerve (don't I sound scary?! LOL). I think I am just going to ignore the darn scale for a couple days. I know that I'm doing what I am suppose to be doing (staying on program--with no extras) and that the weight will come off--but dang it! This gain and it staying around, is really messing up my plans to get to 147 by January 1st (I know, it is not going to happen......but I did hope that I could get down under 155 by January 1st----that was probably doable.......if my body would behave!).

Hope everyone else is doing well!

I hope you will make your goal. I remember those times the scale was stuck for a while, and it lateds even a week! I hope you will feel you are doing great even if your goal comes at a different time than planned!

joy

Thanks Joy. I will be fine with any number below 159, which is the weight that the BMI chart lists as being the point, where a person of my height, is 'overweight'. I want to begin 2010 at a 'normal' BMI, if I cannot reach my goal weight of 147. I doubt that I can lose 21# in 7 weeks.....but I should be able to take off another 10# in that amount of time.

I broke through the stall and saw a new number this morning (167.5#). I sure hope I don't see another gain or a stall for a long time. LOL

[Joy]

so pleased for you break through!

well done

Congrats, Tawanda !

[Tawanda]

Thanks Joy and Karli. Another .5# gone this morning!

[Karli]

Great !

I had to sign in to the site....weird.

Weight holding steady...hope I do not see a gain tomorrow like I did last week. I'm thankful to have more weight gone, but am a bit blue over there being no chance that I will hit goal by New Years Day. Oh well......I am thankful to be losing all of the excess I've gained and that I *will* be getting back down to my goal weight.

I am still wearing the same jeans that I wore at my recent heaviest (size 10), I can now dry them in the dryer--but they are not so large that I feel that I can move down into the 8s. I am so eager to get back into all of my 'cute' clothes and the tiny jeans. I'm amazed at how I allowed myself to gain back 38#, get so much larger and I refused to see how much bigger my body was getting. Scary that I could be so selective in what I was seeing in the mirror.

Oh well.....that is history and now I am working towards getting back down to my 147# goal weight and also working on my plans so that I will never (I pray) allow it to happen again (the weight gain).

Hope everyone is doing well..

Sounds like you are doing well!

[Tawanda]

I lost 3# this week so am happier than last week when I had a gain, LOL.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Thanks Oksoonergal for stopping by.

Great job!!! 3 pounds gone!!

[Karli]

Hey, T. Big congrats on the 3 pounds gone and on being able to dry your jeans in the dryer ... I completely understand that !! You are doing so wonderfully, and yes, it's really GOT to feel good to be losing that weight, even if you won't be hitting your goal by your desired date ! In any event, keep up the good work !

[Tawanda]

I've tried to post but kept getting an error message so gave up. Weight holding steady at 166.5...only 19.5# to get back to my goal (only?! LOL). This is my 3rd day at 166.5, so hoping I will see a drop on the scale tomorrow or .. soon.

Other than my silly scale not moving fast enough to please me (it could never move fast enough, no matter how fast it moves), life has been same ole' - same ole'.

Hope everyone is doing well.

[Tawanda]

166.5# again this morning (day 4 of this weight). Maybe tomorrow there will be a drop on the scale.

Keep the faith!!
