Welcome to all of you that just joined us!!

I feel like I'm finally back on track myself...it's time to get my butt up and moving, because it's starting to get nice outside and I can tell that swimsuit season is quickly approaching!!  I still need to get down ten lbs. before our trip to Hawaii in May...why feel fat in my swimsuit when I'm only ten pounds away and I know I can get there in three months?

200 lbs...but this was right before my daughter was born, and her birth shed 15 of it, so ...185? 

Right now I'm at 165.  I need to lose at least ten more, but I seem to be falling off the wagon.  I'm trying to get back on today!!

Well...it's good to see that I'm not alone on falling off of the diet wagon.  I'm tracking today for the first time in a week...I'm hoping I can get my motivation back to get back on track.  I didn't even weigh myself today because I was scared of what it would say.  I'll start again with the weight in's tomorrow after my first day back to eating healthy.  It's good to see familiar faces!

Hey all...I'm still here, I've just been in bed sick since Wednesday.  I haven't gained, but I haven't really lost any either, so I'm still here, and still planning to stay for a bit.

Well, quaqmire...I weighed myself the morning before and I was at 163....then yesterday morning I was 170!!  Today it has only dropped off a pound, but if I can get a pound of it off a day, I will be happy with that.  I actually got my lazy butt out of bed at 5am today to make sure that I could get some gym time in.  I'm not too discouraged, but yes...SIX pounds.  Stupid, huh?

I probably ate 5 times the amount of food that I normally do in a day.  How ridiculous.

At least I can really say that it's the first time that I've had a bad day since I started dieting....so hopefully the six....yes SIX pounds...that the scale says I gained yesterday will go away quickly.

I'm doing double time at the gym tonight just to make myself feel better.

Yeay!!  I finally made it to 164, which means that I am closer to the 150's club than to the 170's club!!

Stay with it guys...you'll get there eventually!

I finally made it to the halfway point today....165.0 on the dot.  I haven't seen this weight in almost a year, so I'm pretty excited to get there.  I will be even more excited when I get rid of another 10 lbs, because then I will weigh less than I have since high school, and plus, I will be over halfway to my goal at 145.

I guess persistence pays off.  I am starting to get over it on those days when I am half a pound heavier than I was the day before.  Patience, patience, patience I guess!!  It always comes off in the end with a little effort on my part.  Yeay!  If you can't tell, this weight is really encouraging me.

Angeia....my husband and I are doing the same thing.  We cut out all alcohol entirely this month.  The difference between you guys and us is that we can't wait for the month to be over.  I've worked in a bar most of my adult life, and it seems like most, if not ALL of our social activities are centered around having a few drinks.  This has been one of the most boring months of my entire life, because we haven't done ANYTHING with friends outside the house....all our friends drink too.  And no, we're not alcoholics. :)    We are weekend drinkers only, and this is usually in moderation.  It just seems like it's so relaxing....

The same thing happens to me the morning after a night out....I'm always a lot lighter than I expected to be, even if I made a bad food choice while I was drinking.  TRV is right though...it will be back by tomorrow morning.  Just drink plenty of water the day after to replace what you've lost!

Well, they say a pound a week is good, right?  Then at this pace, I should plan to move to the 150s club in oh....say.....seven weeks...so by March 5 I hope to move it up...or DOWN, I guess!!  Anyway...glad to see that you are back, Liney....hello to everyone that just joined us this last week...now back to Monday and back to the grind~!!

Ltlmsmfft, it has something to do with your weigh average over a certain amount of time...but I'm not sure how long that amount of time is.  I couldn't find anywhere else on the site that shows how it is calculated.  Does anyone else know? 

My guess would be the average for the last seven days or something like that?

Highest.....202 after my daughter was born.

Now....168.  Have pretty much been a life-long dieter.  People in my family are genetically predisposed to be overweight, and I refuse to fit in that category.
