    -1.3

    It's a LOT, considering I only monitored calories, barely getting in two brief walks this week! It's the end of our fiscal year at work, so I have been working insane hours, which is a double edged sword. I find myself too busy to obsess about food and so stressed I want to eat a LOT.

    One thing I learned this week, this is a day by day, meal by meal choice - and I am going to push really hard to be under 200 lbs in the next 2 weigh ins! I am currently at 202.7. I've been stuck here before, and I need, want WILL push through this.

    Zero. Zip. Nada. Nothing. Goose egg.
    :grumble:
    Second week in a row.
    :angry:
    Not happy, nope. Not happy at all.

    Great job, LaDonna! Keep it up!

    I got a goose-egg too. But, I'm feeling better, my energy is up, and I just have to add some exercise to the mix and I think I'll be good to go. So, maintained this week, but I am looking forward to seeing some pounds take a long cruise VERY soon.

    LaDonna, you've done well this week. I agree, weighing on Friday gives us time to recover during the weekend. Although I have to say that I did not weigh this morning because I was afraid of what it would say. Last night I went about 400 calories over, and I woke up feeling a bit defeated. I couldn't take it if the scales showed any weight gain. That scale has too much control over me. :angry:

    Weight 291 this morning. Lost 2 lbs. :)

    So far this week have been slightly under my calorie goal every day but one. I'm about even for the week. The last couple of days I have focused more effort on drinking water-I really don't drink enough water normally...

    Right on the money with my maintenance weight -- which means I might be down a few pounds at the end of the month because usually I'm up a few pounds this week of my cycle. My weight tends to have a five pound variance in the course of a month, so although I weigh every day and track it on paper, I only "count" my first weight of the month.

    Looks like everybody is doing great. Even maintenance is better than gaining. I unfortunately went the wrong way. Up 1.7 lbs. it did t really surprise me. I have lost quite fast for a few weeks and I did go on a little vacation even though I tried to eat reasonably. Just disappointed. Hopefully I will be back down next week

    You'll be down and then some next week. Vacation food tends to be high in sodium, and there's some weird vacation mojo that always adds a few pounds for bad measure. I'm betting you're down at least 3 next Friday!

    Ok, so it is Friday again. I didn't weigh in this morning, although yesterday morning I did. I lost .5 lbs. Although that is not bad, I really worked hard and thought I'd be down at least a lb. But I did lose an inch around my waist, and that is really good! So I"m happy with my results this week. :-)

    Maintaining strong!

    Which is good, because I've been struggling emotionally, mentally and physically this week. Lots of stress from school work, dealing with a weird psychological issue that bubbled up to the surface and threw me off center, and a head cold. My carbs were higher than they should have been, my protein lower than I'd like, and while I worked out, it wasn't at the level of intensity and effort I usually put forth. I did surprisingly well at keeping all the balls in the air, nurturing and nourishing myself and keeping my inner-compulsive eater in check.

    I'll take a solid maintenance weight this week and call it a great sucess!

    Sounds like a rough week Sunshine. Maintaining is great. Especially with as much weight as you have lost. Last week you encouraged me. I hope I can do the same for you this week. Stay strong. You have achieved great success and will see more success. You are amazing.

    I was down 3.1 lbs today. 189.4. Yeah! I made it past 190. Every time a get past the nearest 10 it excites me.

    Down another half here.... 138lb today.

    Really slow and steady, but at least heading the right direction.

    Had thought about the 17 day diet, and started it.... but finding that NO CARBS even for only the first 19 days is not quite suiting family eating.

    So just going a LOW CARB route for a bit. Think I need to keep protein up in order to avoid any more muscle loss.

    Gained 1.4 lbs

    I am back to bouncing up and down. I used to do that a lot and then I seemed to have a steady loss and got used to it. But I refuse to get discouraged. The losing will happen again.
