139/137 this morning!

my final goal is in the 110s. so i hope to be in this club for no more than 2 months...

greentearocks - great to see you down in the 130s.

Hopefully neither of us will be here too long.

I am finding myself close to being out of this club, but in the wrong direction. Uh oh. I better not let that happen.

Gonnagetabs - stay focused with the healthy food and exercise and you will be fine and exit in the lower direction. We all have moments when our weight wiggles upwards. The key is to keep on working hard and the rewards do come.

Thanks Omega,
You're right. I've actually felt like I've done pretty well the past couple days, I just haven't seen it on the scale yet.

Things can take a while to hit the scale. Dreaded water retention around TOM always ruins my nice downward trend at the scale - no matter how consistent I am.

Around TOM I often get a 3 to 4 pound gain - but that is water and comes away again.

It doesnt matter what my weight is - as long as any gain is not much more than that from my low weight - I am happy.

My weight can be up - it doesnt matter. I have a good day if I get my long walk in. I have a great day if I get my long walk in and eat healthily. The calorie level is immaterial - we all have days when we feel hungrier than others. If I want to have some more fruit, sugar free jelly/sweets, cereal, yoghurt etc I do so. The calorie level does not make it a bad day. If I stick to healthy food - the calorie level always seems to work out ok if I check it later.

one thirty...six? ugh I dislike my scale, it never seems to be consistant. I think thats what I am though. pretty sure

This belly fat does not seem to want to go away, no matter how much exercise I do Oh well...

Remember Missy - it is only about a week since you were pleased to be at 139. A healthy rate of weightloss is 1% of bodyweight per week. You are actually losing really well at 136.

It is perfectly normal to see day to day fluctuations. Dont let it worry you - just keep working hard with your healthy food and exercise. The rewards come before too long.

We cannot pick and choose which part of the body will give up it's fat. I swear that the first two stone (i.e. 28 pounds) that came off me came off the top of my left leg. I lost two stone and the only part of me that looked thinner was my left leg. My left leg looked comparitively thin and my right leg looked as big as ever. Thankfully they evened up eventually.

I do a lot of walking and a standing joke in my family was that you would think that I was hopping for miles every day.

138 this morning....

that's great greentearocks.

Thanks omega. That meant a lot and I will keep that advice in mind. It's just frusturating when you want to loose a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time.

thanks Omega!

138/137 this morning....(I usually weigh myself about 4 times hehe)

today i was at the track for 2 hrs! walked, then ran almost 6 laps (more than a mile) yay! so sore but will sleep great!

I have been on my project since February 2007 - so no-one could be more ready to get to where they want to be. The fact is that I gain water every month due to TOM. Six days ago my weight was 8st6.2 (i.e. 132.2 pounds) - it has been higher since then and will be for probably another week. This is despite me being absolutely firm with my food and walking over 11 miles every day.

I understand all about frustration - but our bodies work the way that they work.

You lost so much weight though.. congrats!!

COME ON my 130's! Lets get this group up and running again! Im at 139 today! This skinny mom is not very skinny anymore =(
