I'm at 49 lbs lost! 1 little pound away from my first big goal! Does anyone else feel teased when they're teetering on the edge like that lol

My husband and I joined the YMCA today. That'll show that pound ;)

    Yes, It seems as I approach a goal, I teeter. up 2 lbs, down a pound for about a week or 2!

    I don't weigh myself. I go by the way I feel and my pants.

    Great work on that 49lbs. I have had the same thing happen in the past but mine was at a certain weight. It seemed like it took forever to hit 185. I would get to 186 and then shoot back to 188. I finally changed my routine and showed that 185 who was boss. Now I am around 175-177 and not really "concerned" with the weight as I am looking for muscle gain. Once you get that 50 mark you will feel like a burden has been lifted! You can do this!

    Yep - I've been stuck so close to 40 pounds for what feels like weeks and weeks now - so frustrating! I'm trying to remind myself of this while feeling hungry and tempted to snack on everything in sight.

    Absolutely - in fact If I'm super duper close I skip weighing myself for a couple of days so I don't drive myself bonkers :) Congratulations, you're almost there! :)

    Every time I'm close to a mini-goal, I get teased by loosing extra slow for about two weeks. So frustrating sometimes!
    You'll get there!
