Thanks Simba!
My monthly period started last night. Yeah. I still decided to weigh myself today although there is a lot of water retention and bloatedness happening, and I was quite shocked. My weight is the same!
I believe that is why I kept staying the same weigh.... I was eating very well and on my plan, I should be able to see the results the next day. I didn't think I'd hit a plateau already. So, obviously, it was the water retention happening and I maintained the same weight instead of losing! But somehow I lost a pound yesterday.
I don't know.... just a theory. I'm not even sure it makes any sense unless you live in my mind. LOL

Current weight: still 146.0

@simba-- best of luck dear
@shy-- may u lose these last 6 lbs smoothly n easily

Great! I'm still maintaining 146.0 lbs during my period.

@Raymh: Thanks for the support. I hope to lose these last pounds smoothly.
@Simba: Where are you? You should continue to post. I believe that it gives us the motivation to keep going.

I weighed in this morning. I lost 1 lb. Not much...hopefully next week I lose more. I have been eating healthy and exercising.

Have a great weekend ladies!

Simba, that's fantastic news! You just got off your period and managed to lose one pound.... that is no small feat. It means that you basically stuck to your plans and didn't faulter. Last month I sabatoged all my efforts. I ate uncontrollably and snacked on chips, cookies and chocolates. I gained 2 lbs. Then the holidays started right away and I gained another pound or two. I'm still trying to shed those pounds.
So celebrate. Every pound is an achievement. We all know how hard it was to shed it.

I am on my period again and I have been really good this month. In fact, this month feels different. I guess it just depends on what else is going on in your life for me to have the reactions that I do during this time of month.
Although I've been good, I did manage to inhale a huge bar of coffee crisp. I mean huge. This was late last night and the scale still showed me at 146.0 lbs this morning. I couldn't believe my eyes so I stepped on again and then it showed 147.0 lbs. I don't know. But that was enough for me to stop eating like that. I must not give into the chocolate cravings.

@shy-- 146 is gr8, just 6 more to go

@simba- i m very happy that u lost an entire pound

11th jan- 84.9 kg
12 th jan --84.7 kg

Still on my period. I'm just doing an experiment for fun this time. I'm seeing how much weight I've gained during this time. It's a very different period anyways. I've stayed the same weight.... I've been consistent. It's a good thing.

However, that being said, I seemed to have gained 1/2 pound. I'm at 146.5 lbs. How could I NOT be? That huge chocolate bar the other day.... the little bag of chips last night.... (even after I wrote down that I'm not going to get any late night munchies....)

@Raymh; I'm very proud of you. You are consistently losing weight. Keep it up.

@Shy: Late night snacking is bad for me too. I try to save some calories for it & eat healthier snacks. I really should force myself to go to bed earlier, then I wouldn't have this problem. lol

@Raymh: Thanks for your support!

@Simba: That's a great idea... leaving some calories for it. I also try to eat healthier snacks like fruit but when i'm up really late ( and not yet on the sofa) I tend to get salty snacks to eat while watching tv. If I'm already warm and cozy on the sofa, I will not get a snack. Weird.

Lol... I think the same thing! If I just go to bed earlier, I won't eat junk late at night. Great minds think alike!

Today is the last day of my period.... I know..... mine just drags on and on.....
The scale is showing 146.0 lbs again! I lost that extra 1/2 pound again. Yeah.
Tomorrow is my real weigh-in.

Thank goodness.... I'm done my period.
It was interesting to do a weigh in every day and seeing the results. However, this was not a typical type of period for me. I didn't have the same symptoms or the same cravings. It was a different 'experience' all around. Certainly NOT like last month!

I dropped 0.5 lbs overnight!!!!!
Yeah. My new weight is 145.5 lbs. Only 5.5 lbs to go to reach my goal.

**note that I was at this exact weight one month ago. Actually is was December 13, 2012. Right after I hit that low, I got my period and gained a few pounds. Then the holidays were upon us....

Anyways, I've lost it all again.
5.5 lbs to go. I'm really excited!

13 jan-- 84.9
14 jan-- 85.9
15 jan-- 84.7

it is reolving now around 84--85

January 16

I'm so thrilled. I dropped one pound overnight!
Current weight: 144.5
Goal: 140.0
4.5 lbs to lose to reach my goal weight!

** It's about time. I've been really good. I'm eating everything I should and I'm getting in more water than I usually do.

@Raymh: Don't fret. Your body is just getting used to the weight loss. You were losing steady for a while there and now your body is trying to adjust to the new weight. Keep it up and soon it will get the message that this is the new weight and you are going to lose more.
You are doing absolutely fantastic.
I was close to that weight too.
You can do it.

16 jan 2013-- 85.3, i just dont understand it, yesterday i orked so hard, i was expecting to lose some, but i have gained, it is so strange

@shy-- congratulations dear, u r so near, n thank u very much for ur kind words :)

Jan 17

144.5 lbs.
I hope to stay on this path. It's hard now. If I slip, i'll gain weight and that will depress me... I'm so close. I have to measure and weigh everything.

@Raymh: Our weight keeps fluctuating. When we expect to lose, the weight either stays the same or goes up slightly. Keep strong and keep doing what you are doing.... before you know it, the weight will just drop off.
