    But if it doesn't happen it isn't that big of a deal. As long as you are healthier today than you were when you started, and that you are eating in a deficit it will come one day. :)

    DENIED! 3 FRIGGING OZ AWAY but yes I am healthier today than I was yesterday...and I know I am doing everything I should be and pretty much everything I can. So I am not discouraged or angry but just very impatient...lol I have been watching ounces fall off the scale for 3 days.....so I know it will get there ..just hope its before Monday because I told my oldest son (17) that on the morning I hit 199 I am going to go jump on his bed and wake him up.....I weigh in at 3am lol.

    Maybe tomorrow!

    It took months of stalling until I finally made onederland You will get there- now I am anxiously awaiting 180s ( forever by the way) but it comes to people at their own pace- most important thing is to stay in the game--look so forward to your future posts and successes

    That always sucks. I give myself 3# below before celebrating a milestone. I didn't get happy about being 170# until I was 167# because every time I get excited about reaching a weight goal, I gain 2-3#. Being patient is a PITA.

    This or pee again.

    Enjoy the journey. I try to remember that the longer it takes to come off the easier it will be to keep off.

    I have been stuck in the 155s for months but I am still okay with it knowing that I maintain this weight if I was unable to get to my ultimate goal.

    Congrats!
