Have you ever seen a 299 pound woman dance a jig?

Because that's what I was doing this morning! I finally, FINALLY, after several years have gotten below the THREE HUNDRED MARK!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! Who ever dreamed I'd be ecstatic to see 298.8 on my scale?

Hopefully this will serve as a mental breakthrough to help me focus. LIFE IS GOOD!!!! :thumbdown:

CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a wonderful accomplishment - you should feel so proud and excited!

Congratulations Gibson, You are doing great! Besides, dancing the jig burns calories so dance away!

Wow! That is so darned great for you all who are making this breakthrough. I remember it well, and I felt so proud - so I know how you all feel!!

Woohoooooooooooo!!

Thanks for all the well wishes but Son of a BLANK! It was fun while it lasted but today I'm back up to 306.6. This is soooooooo slow that I'm dying here!

I'm going to start low carbing tomorrow though, so that should help. Low carbing is the only thing that's ever made me lose weight. *sigh*

Oh well, at least I haven't given up completely!

My weight does that too, but when it goes up I don't count it...I just wait for it to go down again.

Me too. And it really pisses me off too. Even on my bad days I'm at about half of what I should be eating to lose 2 pounds a week at a completely inactive activity level. And I excercise almost daily - maybe not a lot but I burn usually 150-400 calories. Whaaaaaahhhh! Okay, whine sequence completed, moving on to productive/happy day cycle.

Don't worry Gibson, I think that happens to many of us. It's most likely just some water retention. Give it a few days and I'm sure it will fall right back off.

YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!! yeah for you!! You must be so proud. I thought that you were dancing a jig because school was out, but this is better. I am worried about putting on weight when I am home all day. School was much safer. Lord knows I would never eat the food there!

Good Job!!:):)
