Next Goal: 200

my scale is being crazy. first it said i'd gained  two pounds. then it said i'd lost 5. i don't know what is going on. so i weight myself a bunch and 229 is the average that i got. i hope that's not what i weigh this week, because that's discouraging. stupid scale!! i might be retaining water because i had a lot of salt last night. so i'm tempted to drink 3x as much water tonight and weigh in again tomorrow. what do y'all think?

Im so late with this post, its been super busy!  I managed to lose the 4 pounds I gained last week!

Good Luck to all!!!!

I know what you mean by motivation it took me a lot of time and yo-yo dieting before i finally decided i really wanted to do this. I find that if i take it in baby steps its a lot easier, looking to lose 10lb (or even 5lbs) at a time and then maintaining for a bit or if I have enough motivation going for the next mini goal. Its a hell of a lot less daunting that aiming for a 91lb loss.

Well...it's TTOTM so no surprise here...

I'm not worried, though.  It's probably mostly water.  I'll reweigh in a couple days just to be sure.
