Glad to hear from you, Raymh!
You're doing great! The body sometimes likes to stay at a certain place for a while before it starts to let go some more of the weight. You'll be losing more before you know it.

I woke up quite late this morning. I've not been feeling well for the last two days....
When I did awake, I found that I was weighing in at 151.0 lbs!!!! What????? I couldn't believe it. Finally! That's a drop of 2 lbs overnight.

Right now, I just want to get to 149 then at least I'm in the 140's and out of the dreaded 150's! lol

And all this without even trying!

152.0 lbs. I know I overate some things yesterday. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

@Raymh: How are you doing? I'll bet you've dropped a lot since your last post!
BTW, I've been meaning to ask you how your business is going? You launched it almost one year ago, right? How is everything? Are things picking up more and more? I know that you had mentioned that the reason for you not posting too regularly was because you have to devote a lot of attention to the business, especially in it's early days.

@Zecilkl: How are things with you? I once lent you a friend request and never received anything back. That was the only way to 'remind' you to come to this group to post..... as you had asked us to do. I couldn't get access to you because your profile is private and so I sent you the friend request.
Anyways, do drop by and let us know how things are going?
Is your back better?
Are you managing to get in some exercise?

151.5 lbs or 152.0 lbs! Not sure this morning!

DH bought a new scale that measures fat and it gives the weight in accurate amounts. I weighed myself this morning and it said 149.4 lbs!
Yippee! Yay.... if I use this new scale, then I'm in the 140's!!!!!!

151.0 lbs
Slow and steady..... and still not really trying

151.0 lbs .... starting to sound like a broken record. But, hey... I'm not even trying. Just imagine where I would be if I were trying??!!
Hmmm....

Let's see what happens today!

How are you girls doing?

Wow you are doing great Shy16. Keep up the great job you are doing. What is your weight goal?

raymh you are doing great.. keep it up. hope you are losing lots of weight.

Sorry for being absent for so long went on vacation and didn't have internet access all the time. Also, didn't have my computer... LOL.. used my kindle to get online. What a pain. I didn't lose any weight .. gained about 2 lbs. not to bad for not watching to much what I ate. tried to eat healthy. Also, kept my pedometer on to get in my steps..

Home almost a week. Not eating great right now. Had minor oral surgery yesterday .. Had to eat mushy foods.. So , that Always has me falling back into eating poorly. Hopefully today I'll begin eating right. I haven't weighed myself in two days. I hope the scale didn't creep up.

How is everyone else doing?

Hey zecilkl... glad to hear from you!!!! I thought you might have forgotten about us...

I believe that the weight we gain during holidays don't count... lol
Seriously though, you went away somewhere to enjoy yourself and take a break from 'life'. What does it matter if you overate etc. The point is to enjoy life and enjoy the simple pleasures!
Now that you are back, you can focus on losing what you gained. However, you did amazing as you only gained 2 lbs! And good for you for watching what you were eating. I don't think i would have been so good.

I hope your oral surgery heals super fast and you can get back to your routine.
Keep posting and lettting us know how you are doing.

My goal is 140.0 lbs. I have 10 lbs to go to get there. AND the last ten pounds are always so hard. I remember last year when I was at my last ten pounds and it just seemed to drag on and on.
Mind you, I 'm not even trying so I guess I'm doing good at maintaining! lol

Lol... I forgot to mention that I gained some weight - not much but a little bit and I couldn't quite understand it. Hmmm.... so, this morning I stepped on the scale and saw 153.5 lbs! What??? Why am I gaining this weight? The answer? Yup... it's TOM. Yup. Agh.

So, needless to say, my true weight will not be revealed until it's all said and done. And it's been so different lately.

You are doing great shy16. Do you have a special eating plan you follow to lose the weight?
I was really good on vacation now I've gone off the rails I think. I'm not sure how I'm doing as I've not weighed in for 3 or 4 days.

it's great that you only have 10 lbs to lose. I was getting close a couple of years ago.. then I gained 15 -20 lbs back. I was so close too. I'm learning there are many things that can trigger me to go back on to old eating habits.

I guess we're all a work in progress LOL. Have a great weekend.

Hey.... the reality is that I have more than 10 lbs to lose;(
Not by much but still.

So Tom is officially over yesterday... yes... mine goes on and on. AND I've got a double whammy because my periods are all over the place lately. hmmmmm

ANyways, this morning i stepped on the scale and saw that my weight is 151.0 lbs. So I guess i"m back where I was before TOM. I was just hoping that I would have lost something extra lol.

I'm glad you are back to normal weight. I remember those days. Unfortunately I would keep some of that weight threw out the month.

Weight about the same. working on it. On antibiotics for a sinus infection (again) so eating is a bit off as I've been taking some long naps. The idea of eating every few hours hasn't worked the last two days. :(.
Will keep moving forward and trying.

Still 151.0 lbs...
I hear you... I also try to eat small amounts of food through out the day but that hasn't been going too well for me lately. I'm basically not eating every few hours and then I'm almost binging at dinner.
I know better -- I just have to get there again.

Also, I try to eat food from all food groups. And veggies are my nemesis. I love them but I can't seem to get them into my diet everyday. And sometimes, I just don't have them around to cook with (Or eat raw). It's a catch-22 situation.
lol

Here's hoping to a better week next week. I have company coming over this weekend and then I'm off to two different households to celebrate Father's Day.
Let's hope that I don't put on too much weight.

Hey Shy... you sound like me. I have a veggie eating problem too. I think all the years of being on a diet I didn't eat properly. Now I'm trying to eat better. I've been getting in my veggies lately. I made beans and rice the other night for dinner. one night last week i made a veggie dinner. got 2 types of mushroom, peppers, green squash , spaghetti squash, peppers. put it into a pot cooked it up with canned tomatoes ... those two dishes i had for several meals. So, if you can do something like that .. you can use the one meals leftovers for your side dishes. Hope that helps you.

I had a nice weekend but ate too much salt and food. I gained weight and up 2 lbs. Yuck. I'm not back down to my lower weight yet. not sure what the problem is. but I guess it could be the antibiotic I'm on??? LOL good excuse right.

I too have problems when I don't eat threw out the day .. I seem to binge eat for dinner. we both can work on this together I hope.

Hey Zecilkl.
Thanks for the reply... we really are very much alike.
I don't have time to post a long one today... I'm about to go out.
I'll post tomorrow or later on today.

weight: 152.0
