in Health and Weight Loss
Well, I weighed....and....I MAINTAINED!!!! JEEEZE!!! Stuck at 99 lbs lost!

I know my body entirely too well. It does this! It gives me a nice loss like it did last week, sort of catching me up to where I should have been and then it starts this stuff again. SIGH!

My rings are tight so I know I do have water weight..but still.....DARN IT! I wasn't bloated the entire trip...even on the flight my rings were super loose...I come home and they are tight all week. Do you think humidity affects it?? It wasn't super hot or humid out West...it was nicely warm! I'm just wondering why I have such problems with retaining water here.

Well, I will keep on, keepin on! I will get there, just not today! :wink:

    maintain IS good..better than gaining right? I have been maintaining as well...for over a month now..ugh! But anything is better than gaining in my book! Just keep doing what your doing. This time of year everyone is bound to have a little waterweight!

    First of all, you are AMAZING for losing 5lbs on vacation! That is all your hard work! (I mean how dedicated is someone to lose 5lbs on vacation!!!).

    One week mixed in without a loss is nothing to worry about! Your body is probably adjusting to the major changes of late.

    Continued congrats...

    Awww I know that must be frustrating.:flowerforyou: BUT on a good note, you are doing so GREAT already!! :drinker: :flowerforyou: YOU LOOK AMAZING!! Such a big difference from the pictures you had on your profile from "before". I noticed they're not on there anymore and these pics of now....well...you look like a totally different person. :happy: And at least it's a maintain. I've had some water weight myself. My rings are soooo tight!! :grumble: Just keep at it and you'll see that 3 digit loss soon. I'm sure of it. :drinker: You're such an inspiration!! Keep it up!! :drinker: :drinker: We're here for ya :wink:

    I weigh in on Thursdays too and it was a :noway: day for me too.....I lose in spurts....I'll go two weeks and nothing, then lose 5 lbs a week!!! I'd much rather see the 2 lbs a week, that keeps me more motivated!!

    Anywho........you are amazing....you LOST weight on vacation, this shows a lifestyle change...not just a diet. And look how far you have come......but I completely understand...I read the posts here and I think we're all as excited as you to see you hit THE MARK!!!

    My hubby is active on the BodyForLife site like this one, and do you know they take roadtrips to see each other?????? One will go and pick another up and they will go visit another person on the website.....we all need to roadtrip to your house for a party when you do hit the mark:drinker: :drinker:

    Thanks everyone!! I am fine with it all! I mean, it's a number right?? hehe...so I am stuck at 171!! As my grandpa says "Dag Nabit!!"

    I have actually gone through the 170's pretty fast! I was stuck at 181 for SO long....and then right before my trip, I weighed on June 30th.. and was 177...then I got home from my trip and weighed last Thursday and was 171! Now I maintained at 171..but really.....this is how my body tends to do something. I will maintain....my body will mess with me...I will go a little crazy...and then I will lose a bunch to catch up! Now, let's just hope I am not jinxing myself with this and I get over into the 160's SOOON!!! :wink: :laugh: Stupid scale!!

    Love you guys!!!! You sure do know how to make a gal feel better!! :love:
