edited September 19 in Health and Weight Loss
Hey guys!

Well, I am usually prettly level-headed about my weight-loss but I am SO nervous today!!! I had hit 99 lbs lost last week and tomorrow is my weigh-in day. I SO want to hit 100!! But I am nervous that I am at a maintain (I don't call it a plateau very often because even maintaining is a success compared to gaining to me!).......

BUT, I keep thinking I will see the same number for weeks...or keep thinking that maybe last week is the week my scale decided to really mess with me and I actually didn't lose that much while on vacation (even though the scale has never given me a loss like that and taken it back)....I don't know. I just keep having these nightmares. I know my clothes had started fitting looser while on vacation, and are still fitting looser so the odds that the loss was true and that I am still doing well are good..I am just GOING CRAZY!!!! I am very good about only weighing once a week, every Thursday morning (since I started this in September)....and did get back to my normal routine this week, including working out well Sat, Sun and yesterday.

SIGH! Sorry, just needed to vent this! At least I am going into the city today...and will eat healthy and walk and walk! That should keep my mind off of it and give me some extra exercise.

Thanks!
Tam

    I'd rather pat you on the shoulder.

    You accomplished a lot lady! Don't let your head mess with you now! You lost already so much weight, if right now you just maintained it that is wonderful. Being back to your exercise routine you will most likely start loosing weight again too.

    Awww, relax! You're doing everything right! 100lbs lost here u come! :) If you do have a maintain this week, it's still a huge success..I mean 99lbs?! come on! lol You're awesome hun. I can understand the anxiety about hitting the 100lb lost mark, it'll happen, hopefully tomorrow, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I think that if u juist got back to your routine this week, then you should definately lose, but the body is a strange thing...lol Hang in the sweetie! *hugs* :heart:

    Tami. Don't stress. You're gonna hit that milestone (prob more). Just do what you normally do the day before your weigh-in (I know you have a whole plan) and just know what you've been doing is going to pay off. (It already has been paying off.)

    Don't lose the faith, girl.:heart:

    i'll just hug you!!!

    you have done sooo well...and like i always say to everyone....remember that just one glass of water weighs a half a pound!! So even if you are still at 99 loss...you can count it as water weight!!!

    I feel your pain girl!! You almost made my hyperventilate!! LOL - You will do awesome. I know your loss on vacation was real - and you will still be o.k. Crossing my fingers - and toes - that when I check out your posts tomorrow there will be that magic 3 digit number!!! How cool is that - but even if you maintain you will hit 3 digits in the very near future. You're too committed and successful not to!!
