Well guess I will start this one. I am now down into the 150's finally and have only 29 pounds to go to goal. I think they might be the hardest pounds to lose. I was on a plateau going between 160-163 up and down for a month. Drove me crazy. Had my 6th fill on Wed. I hope for my sweet spot soon.

I did not see the August bandsters listed in the main forums. Wonder why. Not much activity.

Well big day tomorrow my granddaughter Christina turns one year old. We are having a party. I will eat one very very small piece of cake LOL. :drool::tt1:

Take care all and have a great weekend.

I am down 1.8 this week. I had many challenges my being in all day meetings surrounded by goodies and Snacks. I was tempted a couple of times and the other times I just took a swig of my Water.

Have a great weekend!

I getting a bit frustrated with myself. Two weeks ago I was 204.5, last Friday I was up 1.5 lbs to 206. This morning I'm 208. I convinced myself that the bump from 2 weeks ago was muscle mass from upping my workout schedule and intensity. I'm not convinced that my 2 lb bump from this week is muscle.

I guess my mind set has really changed. I wouldn't even blink at gaining or losing 3.5 lbs when I was 285. Now, it's bugging the shit out of me.

I do understand so well, I want to lose that last 29 pounds right now....but I am hoping that the one or two pounds I am losing per week will get me there by the end of August. I am wearing regular clothing now. Size 12 pants and due to my big boobs that I still have a L or XL top. no more XXXL tops and XXL bottoms YEA!!!!!

Got two really cute tops in Marshall's last night very young and modern. I won't dress like an old lady ever. I will be 80 and wearing my jeans....LOL

Way to go everyone!

I think you're all doing great, though I think Misty might be on to something. Now I'm not trying to lose weight anymore, I'm eating more than before, and I'm STILL losing, despite dropping a lot of my exercise routine too, in an effort to maintain. I wish it had been this easy when I was actually TRYING to lose weight.

So maybe it's worth tracking with an online calorie tracker for a few days and adjust your eating to suit?

Yea, I might have to go back to tracking. I dropped 1.3lbs overnight! Literally! Weighed 182.8 yesterday AM and weighed 181.5 this AM!! HOW is that possible?!

I ATE right before bed last night too! I even ate pizza last night! Granted it was a veggie, no cheese, thin crust, white sauce but still! And I finished it off before bed! It was a small personal size so not a huge thing and the slices were small but still PIZZA!!!

My problem with the tracking is all the homemade food I make. I just don't have time to use the recipe builder on everything and some stuff I don't have portion sizes for b/c I make it up! Guess I'll just have to figure out how to make it work. I have no idea what my calorie intake is or output with my walking.

I just don't understand the overnight WL tho! That's HUGE! I don't expect to be able to keep it for the week, tho it would be nice.

Forgot to weigh myself Friday - but I did it first thing Saturday AM - 183.5, down 1.5 pounds from last week. Makes me a happy camper!

I don't understand the overnight "Big Losses" either, I wonder if it's because I've drunk enough Water the day prior and flushed myself out well. I know that is one of my bigger weaknesses (not drinking enough water), but when I do it "right" I seem to drop big numbers within a few days?? Just a thought.
