    Down 3lbs!

    I was at a plateau the prior 2 weeks to our challenge starting. I was so relieved when I finally saw the scaling moving in the right direction. I kept changing everything up - what food I was eating & when, my exercising routines & when - with hopes of getting the weight loss to start again.
    Thanks to all for staying active on the thread & sharing your posts. I appreciate it!!

    I think my scale broke. I start to work out this month and still eating about the same, but my weight went up 1.5 lbs. :mad:

    4/1: 142 lbs
    4/8: 143.5 lbs

    I got mad at my scale about 6 months ago and actually threw it away when I thought it was broken. The scale got me twice, though, becuase I just had to go out and buy a new one! Next week will be a better week! :flowerforyou:

    @Kickrz - I'm on my 2nd round with 30DS and LOVE it! Take your measurements - you'll totally see a difference as you progress over the 30 days. BTW - LOVE your weight tracker slogan "Lose it in '11" Mind if I pirate from you? :flowerforyou:

    I took a ton of measurements and pics too just to see. I always notice things when I see it in pictures.

    04/08/11 : 160.4

    :huh: Not sure what happened! I've lost inches, so I'm hoping it's a water retention thing... or my scale is mad at me... :tongue:

    Congrats everyone! Keep up the good work!

    i went from 139.4 to 139.2!!! NoT much of a loss. but oh well I guess i will take it. I have been bad this week end though so I will avoid the scales for a few days.
    My darn knees are starting to swell up again. I cna't seem to get this water retention in check! today my legs are itching up a storm too. It feels like bugs are crawling under my skin. It is sucha weird feeling. Wonder if I ate something that I am allergic to. I went out for breakfast and had a mushroom omelet with swiss cheese??? guess I'll wait until tomorrow and see if the itching stops.SCRATCH SCRATCH! :ohwell:

    Down half a pound this week but surprised I was down at all. It was busy with lots of social stuff so I am pleased with my half a pound. See you next week.

    I had my sisters baby shower yesterday. We had 30 people RSVP. So we had enough cupcakes, cake, and food for thrity people. Three people showed up. I was so upset not only for my sister who wanted to cry but also because of all the preperation and food we had :explode: . So I emotional ate. I was mad and there was just so much food that I couldn't stop picking at it. Luckily I did put out a lot of fresh fruit so I did munch on that a lot. But I am hoping that when I weigh in tomorrow it doesn't refelect badly :frown: . I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was down another pound. That is 3lbs so far. Two more to go and hopefully more. It feels good to be able to drop some weight. They just uped my dosage for my thyroid and I am finally starting to feel normal again :happy: I don't fall asleep all day and I can watch what I eat and drop weight without going into starvation mode. Five years of struggling with this and I had thought it was normal!! WOW!! Glad to see everyone's losses! They keep me motivated!! Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Mine begins tomorrow evening!!:wink:

    Ahhhh, sorry, forgot to weigh in on Friday!

    02/04: 131.9 lbs.
    10/04: 130.5 lbs.

    So sorry, I don't recall my weight from Friday - not sure if I even weighed in or not. I'll be more mindful of the Friday weigh-ins from now on!

    At any rate, 1.4 lbs down so far!

    :heart: -- Juliet

    Well so far I've gone up 0.6 lb but I attribute that to re-starting the 30 DS and TOM. Will have to wait until next week's weigh-in to see what's really going on.
