The hip joint inflammation has resulted in a 3 lb. gain. I’ve been super careful because exercise is on hold for a while. I know it’s water retention and steroids but ARGHH!

Arghhhhh it is. But at least you know!

I also know about my 3lbs (closer to 5)... and it ain't water!🐱🙀

Way to go, @Americanbabydoll !

Damn, Yooly. Talk about adding insult to injury.

I haven't weight myself yet....maybe tomorrow....but I have had 3 really good days in a row - darned near "maintenance" style good healthy eating. Might be a dream?

I am biting the bullet and weighing daily….I was down a pound but I am still up from my lowest but I am really looking forward to eating healthy again….soon!

Goal (145 lbs) lose 100.4 lbs

I now have 100.4 lbs to lose to be at my goal of 145. Not even sure if that is the weight I want to be but it puts me in the middle of the healthy BMI (125.3 lbs - 169.3 lbs). I figure I might change it as I get close to goal but it was a good starting goal just to have a number in mind.

Nice loss @Americanbabydoll. This time of year any loss is a huge accomplishment. Isn't it fun to think of how the goal weight will feel?

As you all can tell I weigh daily and I have been on a bit of a losing streak. I am hoping it continues but I am also expecting it to change. I'm excited to report I now have less than 100 pounds to lose to be at goal. 99.8 is just barely less than 100 but I will take it and be proud!!!!

Woohoo!!!! Congratulations. You must have been doing a happy dance today

I really can’t wait to get back to this journey full steam ahead….I know I am gaining back hard lost pounds but I think I needed to appreciate how good I was doing!…in May I will celebrate 3 years on MFP and hopefully be very close to my goal weight…I guess the last year at maintenance wasn’t a waste and I should be able to resume losing at a faster pace again….sounds reasonable, yes?……lol…..I had lost 110 pounds but now it is around 90…. I know I can do this, very very soon!

You can do this! It’s our year to get to goal. I too have been maintaining over the last year. Need to get back to business and finish the race.

I had a small loss today, but it was still a loss so I am posting it.

Good job, @Americanbabydoll - nice to read of a loss this morning!

Connie and Yooly - I have faith in us. No point in stalling out after losing 100 pounds! (rounding off for simplicity). Let's hit our goals before summer hits maybe even? I'm almost starting to want to wager on it....because my initial "motivation" seems to have slipped away somewhere. I have 34 pounds I want to lose by June 30th. How about you ladies???

I'm pleased that today is the first time in awhile I've encountered a lower weight on the scale. And I think it is a "real" loss because I haven't had any extremely low calorie days, nor any dehydrating experience. Just weigh 1 pound less than when I last weight myself last week.

Bella_Figura

Connie, Yoolie and Laurie - of course you can do it! I have total unshakeable faith in all three of you! You've weathered bad patches but stayed in touch with the group - that is such a big deal! When you stay in touch you maintain the link to a healthier you, and you'll find your way back to the straight and narrow path eventually.

@Americanbabydoll, well done on keeping so focused!

As for me, I'm weighing in a day early this week and next week (i.e. Fridays 17th and 24th rather than Saturdays 18th and (gulp) 25th.

This week's stats:
SW (17/3/21): 96.0kg/211.2 lbs (BMI 40 - category 3 obese)
LW: 69.2/152.2 lbs (BMI 28.8)
CW: 68.6/150.9 lbs (BMI 28.6)

Will I hit 150lbs by Christmas? Who knows? Not that I care, really, because I doubt that I'd still be 150lbs come 1st Jan! Though I won't be too far from 150 because I've made a vow not to gain more than 1 kg....

Now that's both an inspiring and an inspired 🐹 hamster on that scale!😹

You are all so supportive and that is one reason I love Larger Losers!….we have all struggled and been THERE….I want to lose my holiday gain and my final 40 to 45 by summer or fall….maintaining for almost a year at my current weight, I should be able to lose consistently and get there!…my life has been so chaotic I am surprised I haven’t gained more….I am so blah today I feel puffy lol….not enough water and too many Diet Pepsi….I might get off diet drinks, too…..my husband has to have tests on his heart and my grandson decided he is going to have heart surgery at the end of the school year….he has Wolff Parkinson’s White Syndrome and during an episode his heart will beat at over 250 bpm….you can literally see his heart pumping in his chest….he is 16, 190 lbs and 6’2” tall…..my husband and grandsons conditions are not related….my daughter is going to an orthopedic surgeon on Mon. to have her knee looked at….she is in a lot of pain but teaching every day…she teaches in an inner city school and is one of the teachers that actually cares about her students….some of her students lives are heart breaking….grandaughter has been a pain in the *kitten* for over a week…14 Dec. 26…. She is our drama queen diva….son in law is so busy at his detail shop that he is working 10 and 12 hours a day, six days a week….and I am trying to keep things on an even keel and inside I am a mess….hugs to all of you!

That is a lot to be thinking about at once, Connie. Hope things come out well for everyone

My brain is my hamster!….it just keeps churning!

But 🐹 that's all that's in 🤯 mine! Isn't everyone's brain full of 🐹s? 🤔😹😂

YUP ... too many or maybe just too hard to count ... all that fluff and little feet and toes just running so fast I can't keep track

Wow! Good work. I’m especially impressed with your dedication toward your goal.

Bella_Figura

Wow @Dante_80 that is such an achievement! You've literally lost a whole adult's weight! What a gift to give your back, knees, ankles and feet! You must be feeling amazing! I hope you feel justifiably proud of your commitment and effort.

Dante_80

Thanks for the kind words. I feel fine, suffering from a mild case of body dysmorphia but this goes with the territory. I'll survive that!

I feel like to dancing to celebrate with you, Dante! Wow. What an achievement, what an inspiration.

I wonder if we will ever truly see what our bodies really look like? Maybe? Hopefully? Eventually?

Enjoy your half-the-man I used to be period...it won't be long before you are almost one-third-the-man you used to be.

Thanks for sharing.

Way to go @Dante_80
Your news perked up my day! YES👍What a gift! 🎁

Don't worry about your brain catching up. It will do so a year or two later! In the meanwhile enjoy wondering if your second leg will fit in the tiny pants you're holding in front of you❣️

So yesterday was cookie decorating day. After sampling the cookies yesterday while baking, licking frosting today and of course, several cookies eaten for quality control - I’m down two pounds this morning. Go figure 🤔!

Yesterday was my birthday, when I weighed yesterday I was up 2oz from the day before. I thought oh well, I knew the loss was going to stall/slow some soon. Today, I weighed and I lost a pound from yesterday. I think that is a win for sure.

Definitely a win over the holidays! Happy birthday 🎁🎂🎉
