    I saw some losses with inches as well. My face, I think, is starting to look a little different now. I am also bleeding again, for the third week in a row and in five days is my usual time. I'm setting up an appt. with a doc to figure out what's going on. My goals have been reset and my daily calorie goal is lower now. I'm going to see how I adjust to the new goal MFP has put up for me.

    CW: 240.3
    GW: 231.5

    Weigh ins:
    4/4/2014 - 238.6 (-1.7)
    4/11/2014 - 243.8 (+5.2) I didn't log this last week, I was so embarrassed by how much I gained. Then as I'm logging yesterday's weight I realized that this is what it's about. Being honest with myself and my MFP friends and being accountable for the gain.
    4/18/2014 - 240.4 (-3.4) Back on track, even though I'm not where I started the month or where I thought I'd be, however, I will finish strong.
    4/25/2014 - 238.4 (-2) however the month total is down 0.2 lbs, finally showing a loss for the month :)
    4/30/2014 - last day of the month falls on a Wednesday, so I may have this as a 'bonus' weigh in

    4/4/14= 293 lbs (-1 lb.) Really hope this doesn't portend another slow losing month - yikes.
    4/11/14= 293.6 (+.6 lb.) Given all the salt I had this week and the change in the weather, it's no wonder. Need to get lots more water and walking in this week! :)
    4/18/14= 291 (-2.6 lbs.) Finally a decent loss - might be seeing a light at the end of the stall tunnel!
    4/25/14= 292 (+1 lb.) Sigh...two steps forward, and two steps back. Oh well...here's to May!! :)

    Stalls mystify me. They just happen, and then they just break. This was a pound or half -pound a day over the last week. Who knows... to be continued?

    I didn't lose anything around my waist this week, but I lost everywhere else. I added another photo to progress gallery. I like the losses I've had this month, but in the back of my mind I'm going, "Not gonna stick. Not gonna stick." I think if I keep plugging along that little voice is going to be proven wrong. I have a metabolic screening this morning (minus thyroid function test - that's on the 12th) and am waiting for it as I can't eat until I get back from it (9-10).

    Ok stalled. Been kinda lazy lately. I have been healed up enough to exercise and haven't. I really was hoping that the exercise yesterday would be enough to move the scale off of 253.0, but no go. So back to the grindstone and full speed ahead.
    Great job everyone, Keep up the good work.

    You started April at 294, and last week had 292, that's not two steps forward and two steps back that's 2 lbs less to loose in May! Your loosing weight at a steady pace and your making those changes! I am sure you are anxious to get to that 100 lbs mark but 85+ lbs in less than a year is not two steps back! You got this!

    This month was a flop for me. I got sick at the end of last month and had a huge drop. The next week I was up 7lb, when I was feeling better to 229. As of today I'm back down to 224 but :grumble: I'm NOT happy this month. Plus I've been off and on sick for 2 months. I'm starting to wonder if I've developed allergies, because how can I keep getting this headcold? I'm finding it very hard to stay motivated this month and I'm getting through it by gritting my teeth. This better ease up next month. I'm feeling a bit short tempered.
