    Saw the scales and I seem to have finally broken the 71.5 kg mark by 1kg ! :noway:

    I'm not getting too excited about it right now as I've 3-4 parties including weddings to attend over next few days. Wish me all the luck, I really dont want to gain and get stuck again. :sad:

    Still haven't weighed myself for about 2 weeks and don't plan on it for another 2. I can tell I have lost weight or at least toned up some more in my stomach. It's obvious. I also lost inches all over this month so I think that is what was happening while I was in a "plateau". We'll see! Thanksgiving was great for me. I spent an hour and a half doing cardio and strength training and I ate everything I made and stayed just below my calorie limit for the day. I also made sure to drink a crap ton of water during the day so sodium couldn't get the best of me!

    :flowerforyou: Good morning all! I am back from vacation and holiday celebrations and eating out!!!! So afraid to hop on the scales. I think I will wait and weigh in midweek and give myself a few days to wash away the salt and then assess the damages! I am all for getting back in gear and watching the descent of the scale as we approach Christmas! So thankful for MFP! So much better off than last year at this time! :bigsmile:

    So, I"m not going to weigh in this week. The numbers on the scale are so out of whack because of the salt and water weight, I'm fluctuating 8 lbs. in one day! I'm gonna wait until next Sunday and see what it says and post that number because I know I truly did not gain 5 lbs. in 1 week when I worked out every single day (mostly cardio) and held pretty true to my calorie goals (over on 2 days but less than the built in MFP deficit). So, I'm eating healthy today and already got a great workout in. Don't have any parties this weekend, just a swim meet but it's local so I can easily manage that. Good luck all!

    Been a few weeks, due to the holiday and other things that have gone on with family I haven't really been on here as much as I would like. So update on my weight, it has gone down and I am proud to announce that I am 4 lbs away from my goal weight. I really have been considering weather once I get to my goal weight that I might make another goal of losing 5 more lbs, but I kind of want to see how I feel once I hit my 135 lbs. Injured my back last Wednesday so for the next week or so I am not able to workout, possibly longer. So I am doing it the hard way of just watching what I eat and making sure I have a calorie deficit. I'm just glad to say I am below the 140 lb mark as of yesterday morning!

    CW: 139.0 lbs
    Goal: 135.0 lbs

    Almost there! Can't wait! The finish line is in sight!

    So I weighed myself this morning which isn't my usual weigh-in day, but I have a wellness check up this afternoon so I wanted to see where I stand. When I got on the scale Monday I was 139.0 lbs. I've been bad and weighing myself a lot lately and its been pretty consistent. This morning's weight was a big surprise! Once I weighed, I couldn't believe it. I told my husband that it must be wrong, so I moved it to another room and it said the same thing! My current weight according to this morning is now 137.2 lbs! That means I'm 2 lbs away from my goal! I decided I'm still gonna weight and not check in my weight on my profile until next Monday though, cuz that's my weigh-in day.

    CW: 137.2 lbs
    GW: 135.0 lbs

    TWO POUNDS TO GO!!!

Surely to goooooooooooooooooooodness I can shave off two more pounds.:wink: I am hoping and wishing and dreaming of seeing a size 10 in 2010.:happy: It has been slow but steady and I am in this for the longhaul.....and you are too because you deserve it! :smooched: Come with me this month to finish the year out strong! Let's kick it up a notch!:bigsmile:

    Wow, I took a break and fell waaay off the wagon! I need to cut back on the eating! I did intentionally take time off from daily intense exercise and dieting, but I feel like I've drifted too far off base. The first thing is to detox from sugar, it's hard to stop eating chocolate/candy!

    Keeping away from sugar at this time of year is SOOOO difficult!! I am trying to keep it in moderation and realize that if I can maintain my weight for the next 2 weeks, I will be very happy and have still enjoyed the holidays, having a few of my favorite treats..Then it will be back on track, with super clean eating until I take off these last 8 lbs! I am trying to double up my workouts on some days, so hopefully that will help! Happy Holidays!!

    O.K. glad to see you all back, I was lonely! I"m not weighing this week. My son had surgery on Friday and was in the hospital all weekend. That led to really bad food (not alot of healthy, tasty options-ironic isn't it?!), litte exercise and really no access to a scale. They released him this morning (yay, a day early!) and he can't be left alone yet so I'll start working out tomorrow before my husband goes to work and I'll start back on good eating tomorrow after we have our celebratory dinner tonight! I think I still have right around 4 lbs. to go to hit my goal weight. The good thing about his surgery being when it was is we missed almost ALL the holiday parties we had been planning to attend so I wasn't tempted by all that food!

    Went snowboarding with my son and some of his friends today....It felt really good, I feel there is nothing I can't do...even had to carry my friends little girl 1/2 way back up the hill cause she got hurt....(she only weighs about 47-48lbs) thought I was gonna die by the time I made it to the top but we made it....I should've slid down the hill and rode up on the lift but didn't think I could board and carry her at the same time.....had fun though.....

    Well, I gained a lb. this week :ohwell: but I'm not shocked based on my eating and limited exercise. Today's a new week and I've gotten a good workout in, eaten a good breakfast and lunch and am off to shop (yuck!) where I'll be away from all the nasty temptations in my house. It's weird, I can withstand the temptations when I am out, but if they are on my kitchen counter, they are in my mouth! So, I have 4.2 lbs. to go to get to my goal weight.
