    I know what you mean. I have that one pound that keeps me in the 140's. this week I am going to kick it off and get into the 130's. You can do it too! and see the 160's. let's help each other! I'm here to support you. Are you planning what exercises you will do this week? I am going swimming three times this week and I am going to walk at least 30 minutes every day no matter what.
    Phyljen:wink: And I will log every bit I take.

    April 2nd - 138lbs
    April 9th - 138lbs
    April 16th - 136.9lbs

    Ok I almost don't even believe it but too scared to double check...lol. 1.1 lost so far!
    Doesn't seem like much but that means I only have 6.9lbs to lose!!!!
    Monday I start level 2 of the 30 day shred so hopefully it brings me 1 or 2lbs closer to my goal!

    Weighed in today because I have been out of town all weekend - definitely surprised by the drop because I didn't exactly watch what I ate this weekend. I ate closer to maintenance all weekend. I'll take it though!

    I am having a terrible month. :cry: I'm on track with my eating and exercising but the weight is just hanging on. I so wanted to make the 50 lb loss this month even if I don't make the 5lb challenge but I'm struggling. I have been under a lot of stress the past couple weeks and I know stress isn't good for weight loss. Have only lost 1 lb this month but I'm not giving up on reaching the 50 lb mark for this month yet.

    April 1 - 174
    April 11 - 173.6
    April 18 - 173

    The scales are driving me crazy. I have got to stop weighing myself so much. Friday I weighed 172.6, Saturday 174, yesterday 172 and then up to 173 today. UGGGGHHH. I know it's normal fluctuations due to water, sodium, etc. but it gets so frustrating. Going to have my boyfriend hide the scales and only give them to me on weigh in days.

    I hate Monday's :frown: :frown:

    I just want to say that I am so proud of you and in awe that you have lost almost 50 pounds. You look great by the way! I love you hair cut!. Hang in there and I am sure those 2 pounds will come off by and by.. I do the same things as you do about getting on the scales so often and then I want to scream. I just want the numbers to go way down like over night or something. I am so anxious to get in to the 130 range and stay there for a while. I am sick of these 140 numbers!!! and for a month it just stays there. i am pretty good at maintaining but I want to go DOWN! I hope that by Friday I can see 139!!!
    anyway... keep up the good motivating good work. You look awesome. Phyljen

    Let me tell you.... I cannot thank Kelly enough for the idea to go without the scale. I think having my bf hide it is the single best thing I have done in my weight loss journey. That stress is gone, and I am loving it! I can focus on the things I need to know instead of that number.

    I was so thinking this the other day except for me it is that break into the 170's. I am up an down between 179 and 181. Just can't seem to stay in the 170's. I am going to keep working at it. That is the key...DON'T GIVE UP!
