OMG! I'm only a half pound away from my goal!

I'm still a bit stressed b/c my bf showed up last night, but I know my issues with him will not be resolved, so I had to stay strong and not reconcile.

Okay, I feel really depressed now. I almost started crying at work. I feel like I'm PMSing and I was sluggish during my 4.5 mile walk today. I can't focus right now and I'm obsessing over the apple fritter I want on my free day.

My skin is a mess right now and I'm sick of feeling like I have to spackle myself too.

Bleah!

My bf called again last night. I'm losing my resolve. I still love him, but I swear the Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus thing applies here.

I kept waking up during the night and thinking it was Saturday and obsessing over my impending apple fritter.

I'm still 130.5 and waiting for that very last half pound to reach my goal. Tomorrow is my last chance to weigh in and lose it before my Free Day. After my Free Day, it might not come off till Wednesday or longer because I'm PMSing and already feeling the water rentention.

I was hoping it would have been gone today so that I could have shared with my diet partners at work. Dennis has now lost 27 pounds (6WBMO) and Lisa has lost 16 (Atkins).

Okay, time for me to go downstairs and workout before work!

Let's see... I reconciled with my bf. I hope things get better. Ugh. I gained 0.5 pounds due to PMS and then another pound due to my Free Day. I'm back to needing to lose 2 pounds to reach my goal. I hope it happens some time later this week. I know I'm retaining a ton of water right now.

I bought one of those half work out tops and wore it when I worked out in the garage this morning. My stomach is not ready to go into public with one of those. I'm still trying to work up to shorts, so the top is going to take a lot longer.

I'm feeling down on myself today, but I think I'm just really moody b/c of the PMS and I know my TOM is going to start any minute.

Something cool happened on Friday. I found a big turtle when I went walking. I took him back to the office to take some pictures and then brought him back to where I found him. Here is a picture: Yahoo! Photos - specialfriend


I hope my mood improves after my walk today. I just feel blah.

Well thanks to my TOM, I weigh the same today as I did last Wednesday. I still hope I can reach my goal by Friday, but I'm a bit bummed out.

I did not like my lunch yesterday, so note to self: don't ever make the spicy chicken pita again nor the BLT wrap. Yuck!

#%&$^%&$%#$# Argh! I'm so frustrated! My TOM is really messing with me. I still weigh more than I did last Friday and I'm so close to my goal I can almost taste it. Ugh!

Okay, off to the garage to work out. I'm so bummed.

I'm really frustrated. That stupid pound is still hanging on. Part of me is wondering if I'm not eating enough as weird as that may sound, but my net calories are under 1200 on most days because of my exercise.

I also came down with a cold. I was miserable all day yesterday and now I have the conjestion today.

Lastly, my cat, Cookie, peed on the carpet next to the dinner table a couple of days ago and I just caught her doing it again and I don't know why. I wonder if the automatic litter box is scaring her all of a sudden. This is really bad because we can only have carpet in my condo and if she's going to keep peeing there it's going to really stink despite what I put on it to clean it up.

Let's see... TOM ended on the weekend. Pigged out on my Free Day and had about 3000 calories, but as of today am back to 131 again and still waiting for that last pound to come off to reach my goal.

I've had a lot of headaches over the past few days and I'm hoping it's only because I'm sick. Yesterday was so bad I thought I was going to vomit.

I'm switching my Free Day to Friday this week since I have lunch plans and I hope I can make it to 130 before Friday.

maybe you need to slowly boost your cals up towards a higher level again hun to fight that plateau. also means your maintenance will be higher so you can eat more and stay the same weight
make sure youre getting enough vits in your diet.
glad to hear youre maintaining
have you been to see the doctor? headaches may not always be serious but you may want to get it checked out just incase.
good luck for fridays weigh in keep at it .. you will get there xx

Hi Sophie! Thanks for popping in! I did manage to lose a half pound, so I'm back to being a 1/2 pound away from my goal. I'm so close that I think I will reach it tomorrow. After I worked out this morning, I was 130, but I know it's because I lost some water working out. My bf's scale says I'm 128. It could be right, but I have no idea. Those digital scales are not all that reliable. You can step on them 15 seconds later and be a pound heavier.

But.... I did put on some size 4 jeans from Old Navy today and they are not even fitting like sausage casings - there is room! It's a beautiful thing. They are too long for me normally, so I have on my high heeled boots today and my legs look a million miles long (amazing since I'm only 5'3").

It's nice when people pop in and give support. Thanks a bunch!

Yay! I did it! I'm 130 today! Just in time for my Free Day tomorrow. Anything I lose from here will just be a bonus! I'm thrilled!

I had my Free Day on Friday and had almost 3000 calories, but still managed to be at goal again today. I may try and lose a couple of more pounds just for some "room." Feels good to have made it here!

I broke 130 today! Yay! Down to 129.5! I need to figure out how to firm and tone, though. Still flabby. <sigh>

Still doing well! Down to 129 today. I was there last Saturday, but my Free Day changed that until today.

I'm having a horrible acne problem now. Can't enjoy the weight loss with a pizza face. I'm can't believe I'm going to be 38 and this is happening to me now. Grrr!

congrats for breaking 130 - that's exciting

i find it funny - I never had a problem with acne as a teenager - i get more zits now that i'm in my 40s than I ever did..

I'm down to 125.5 today. My skin is doing a bit better. I switched my BCP to Yasmin, am taking Zinc, using Tretonin every other night and a device called a Derma Wand.

So, I'm wondering when to stop losing weight. How do you know? I don't want to end up looking like a spoon.
