    thanks for the positive input . i know getting off meds is a good thing . the doctor just forgot to warn me this would likely happen so it was a shock .

    I'm really certain I won't make it now but that's okay! I'm only 2 pounds away from a healthy weight so I'm having to pull back on the loss rate, otherwise I'd be getting less than 1200 a day. I'm now eating 1400-1500 for a while and enjoying it while it lasts, it'll creep back down to 1200 when I get near my ultimate goal weight (115).

    Checking in late last week I lost a pound and this week I lost 0.2 I am now 225.8 with a total to lose for this at 6.2 pounds.Even though I loss 0.2 I made a big milestone of losing 30 pounds since I started mfp for all those losing slowly it all adds up after awhile do not let small weight discourage you just keep on and before you know it 10 or more pounds will be gone look at me I have lost 30 so far.I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

    I have been stuck here 10 days now. Really watching my CICO but the scale still has 1.4 to get to 20 pounds lost. I am thankful NY is still a month away. Lost some inches in this 10 days, though, so I am celebrating that. The scale frustrates me!

    drink lots of water and sometimes the scales are not our friends

    Thanks for the reminder. Some days I do forget. Yes, the scale is NOT a friend!

    Thank you NezyRumRu I only lost 0.1 I am so glad to lose this cause thanksgiving I was expecting a gain from deciding to eat whatever I wanted for that day and if I gained to have no regret this is something I believe is a must if we decide to eat wrong to not regret.But we do have to eat better the rest of the week I have known some people that have a cheat week and lose but for me I do not want to do this maybe when I get down to my goal I will till then I will do it for special occasions like thanksgiving,Christmas,my anniversary,my bday,not to say if people decide to never let it go that they are wrong.We all are right if whatever works for that person works,I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and if you have a gain please keep trying do not give up on yourself you can do it.It is hard but worth it.
