    I thought I posted yesterday but I guess I forgot...I gained this week & am back up to 161. It's kinda frustrating but I know it's my own fault because I haven't been drinking water like I should and only went to the gym 3 times all week. I have been very busy packing, doing homework and cleaning...:yawn: Only 8 more days of living in Minnesota before the move!!!! My goal is to be 158.8 or less of course on Sunday May 1st

    Kendradl, I feel you. I won't say that I actually hit a plateau, but I can not get below 147 for the life of me. But I can go back up to 149 and then down to 147 with no problem. It is a little frustrating, but I am dealing with it.
    I hope everyone had a great weekend.

    It sure does suck and I am hoping that it doesn't plan on sticking around for long, yours either I hope you manage to get through your plateau sooner rather than later. We can do this :happy:

    Sorry I'm late!!! 77 kg (169.8 lbs) which I am very very happy about. Bring on the bikini!

    Mandie - good luck with the final preparations!

    Kendra/Tiffany - hang in there! I thought I'd be stuck between 78 and 80 forever but somehow I finally managed to get under. I tried everything like calorie cycling, eating back calories, not eating back calories and ended up constantly obsessing. It was only when I stepped away from MFP a little bit that I ended up losing more, I guess because I wasn't stressing about it so much.

    Alyshe - congrats on the loss! Had any wine/music evenings lately?

    Congrats on a great week everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks!! Guys, I'm so sorry I'm not commenting on your status updates much - I'm trying a new approach where I'm not constantly obsessing about weight, nutrition and MFP and so far it's working. I haven't forgotten about you though!!!!

    **Short Victory Story**
    Yesterday I went to American Eagle & bought a new pair of jean shorts...they are SIZE 8!!!! :happy:
    I can hardly believe i'm officially a size 8. It feels wonderful. I just goes to show how much of a difference muscle makes compared to fat because right now I am 159.6 lbs and toned where as a few years ago I weighed 155 and was a size 10 at American Eagle! Just my little victory for the week! :wink:

    weight 157.6 up 0.4 this week. I'm okay with that because I think it was not enough water and tom came to visit. So I'm okay with that. Ive been working my but off. I have been on fire and I hope that it stays with me this time. I tend to lose my flam but I hope not anymore.

    my measurments
    arms 12" (looks like I gained an inch but maybe I just measured wrong last I dnot know. I know that I am really sore thought lol)
    love handels 41 1/4
    waist 34 1/4
    wow looking back at the measurements I was last month. I really let the stress get the better of me. But also last time I didnt take my measurments as lose but either way I still would have been bigger now. O well nothing I can do now but look ahead.

    Mandie Great job on you victory !!!! yeah thats awesome AE has great clothes. !!! I also wanted to say that you are at a great bmi. I would go lower then 22.

    Tifanny Super job on breaking your lb wall !!!! yeah !!!

    Good job team !!!
