    still at 178. :grumble: I know it's better than gaining but seriously, it's over a month since I've lost any weight. :grumble: :angry: :explode:

    I feel your pain!!! I've played with the same 2 pounds for over a month - we can do it - we will do it!!!

    u girls can do it!!!!!!!!!......eventually the weight will come off if u give it enough time ;-) i think thats why i'm a scale aholic i judge if i ate too much in one sitting if a little while later i'm over what i started the day by 3lbs.....(lol i weigh everytime after going potty) It sounds crazy and it probably is but it lets me gage if i'm eatting too much....and if i eat the right exact amount of portions my weight only fluctuates by 1 lbs *those are the nice days* lol

    That's where the 2 pound fluctuation keeps coming from - I weigh too much! I've been doing better with it this week....I know I am doing things right and I know it will work so I am just going to keep chugging along....

    I think so...I'm still looking for my measuring tape - we moved in June and I know I saw it in one of the 'I don't know what to do with this crap' boxes that are laying around....:ohwell: I really need to find it. Maybe it will make me feel better to compare my measurements to where I was last year (the gym measures you when you sign up and puts it on a progress card that you can add to)

    I did buy a pair of 10s last week.:wink: It's just frustrating. I upped my calories because I thought maybe I wasn't eating enough and I've started working out again. I just want to go down a pound maybe two so I don't feel so frustrated.:ohwell:

    Ok. The pity party is done. :tongue:

    I actually have you at 179lbs last week so you lost a lb.. kinda.:flowerforyou:

    Hi all,

    I've been reading but not posting much. I'm back at work and trying to catch up on emails and this board, lol.

    I vote for high heels with the purchase of new clothes but going naked with shoes is all good. (TMI Alert: I am only wearing shoes in my profile pic. :bigsmile: )

    I am at a crossroad right now. Not sure sure if I want to continue losing much more or focus on toning. I have a huge amount of really cute size 12 clothes (over several $1000 worth -that I haven't worn yet or haven't worn much) which are starting to become too big. I am currently a 10 but can get away with wearing some of the 12s. I'm a little over 10lbs away from my goal weight and am thinking I'm ok with this size I am now mostly because of the clothes.... if I lose another 10-15 there is no way I'll be able to wear the 12s I own. What to do what to do what to do?? I want knew shoes... thank god they still all fit. I'd be having a mental breakdown otherwise...:ohwell: I digress, anyway, while discussing this with Ocean_91 and our boss, he brought up the point 'can you put a price on being healthy?' It is true that new clothes is fun. I guess I'm having trouble justifying and don't want to let go of some of those outfits. But his question/statement rings true as well, I guess it answers my question about whether or not I should keep going or focus on toning. Yet I'm still combatting the idea. Any body out there have a similar problem? Your so close you can taste it (pardon the pun) but not quite there and unsure of what to do?

    I feel for you, I think that getting healthy is more worth it. You can always have some of your favorite outfits taken in so they fit better...:happy: I am at the point where I will not buy anything but medium shirts and pants no bigger than 12s (because of my body shape I can't buy some clothes until I lose more because only the bigger sizes fit me).

    Hey there Kityn,

    I missed this yesterday so I'll thank you for your input now and also mention that most of the size 12s I own I've had for years but only wore them a handful of times.

    To all,
    I discussed this dilemna and this thread with my husband last night and he was very understanding. His only concern was that I would be disappointed with how little money I would get from putting stuff on consignment. Overall he agreed with letting go of the 12s and understood that seeing as I am already a 10 and not in my healthy weight range yet there's no way the 12s will fit right for much longer. I love him. :love: He is such a great guy!!!

    Alright, I am weighing in at 173lbs this morning. Have also been fluctuating between 173-174lbs for a few weeks now but I decided if I record it as 173 it will stabilize there... :laugh:

    Hi ladies,

    I sent Buffjess a message awhile back to see if she's ok and got no reply....hopefully like someone mentioned earlier she just got superbusy and/or can't log on. Computer problems, maybe? Hopefully nothing serious!!!

    I saw something about delicious sandwiches on the page before this one...so I need to throw in my 2 cents:wink: Avocado, tomato and cheese, with a bit of miracle whip....MMMMM MY FAVORITE!! :love:

    The scale hasn't budged for me since last week...nor has the measuring tape. Still at 130. :grumble: I'm getting very frustrated. It's better that nothing's happened rather than the scale moving UP, but still...I took up a new exercise last week (kickboxing), changing my routines, FINALLY been managing to stay under my calories for almost a week straight....and NOTHING.:sad: :angry: :sad: :angry:

    Thanks KaitieBug.... Hope your doing well too. I missed whether you weighed in or maybe I've forgotten already. Bad Nikky Bad Nikky. I'm still using the ' I just got back from vacation and my brain hasn't rejoined me' excuse.

    I keep telling myself that it is just water weight and that is why I'm not losing... I have another week then I have to face reality....

    See in my book, it's all part of being a woman so I try not to factor it in. I'm just happy to not gain during that time.

    my ticker lied for a while before too! when i first started i lost 5 lbs real fast, but then thought this was so easy that i could eat more, and then i put it back on like that. but now it tells the truth, i swear!:laugh:

    youll get it back down before you know it, just keep focus!

    See I wasn't using my TOM as an excuse because of what I was eating. I was using it as an excuse that I had lost fat but the scale isn't telling me because of bloat. :grumble: Next week the truth will be reveled.:wink:

    Hey sorry Jbuerer, I wasn't implying YOU were using it as an excuse, just speaking for myself. I find it too easy to use as an excuse and then I give in completely. So I decided to try an ignore it instead. So when I'm craving, I'm just craving, not because it's TOM. Or when I'm bloated, I'm bloated, not because it's TOM etc. If I explain away the bloatedness then I give my self room to indulge. Little head game I play with myself. The irony is ... I HATE head games. I do not play them with others EVER. But inside me is this constant little headgame battle.... Hope you weren't offended, it really wasn't my intent.

    Yep just waiting to get off work. Coworkers all in a meeting which I didn't need to go to. Starving right now and debating munching. The gum I'm chewing just isn't cutting it. What time you off at? I'll be done at 4PM. Then home for dinner and then my workout. Just doing a dvd tonight i think. Focussing on abs. I need to tone up the midsection a bit.
