Back on track and actually looking forward to my doctor's appointment on Tuesday. It will be my 3 month follow up and give or take a few pounds for clothing and my TOM about to hit, there should be a 40lb loss since my last visit. I was just put on blood pressure medication this past December and my last appointment he said if I continue to lose weight he believes I should be able to come off it as I was borderline to begin with. I'm hoping that will be the good news this appointment.
Also, my husband and I have the same primary doctor and our appointments are one after the other usually. Since I finally did discuss my actual weight numbers and goals with my husband, I won't even mind him coming in with me during my appointment (he always likes me to go in with him for his). I can't really remember the last time I said I'm looking forward to going to the doctor!

Bev, yay for another good week! Glad you've found your rhythm again!

Lil, I know where you're coming from and I was in that spiral off and on for years. I wish I had an answer or even a suggestion for you. I don't even know what it was that flipped that switch in my own head that made me realize it was "time" but I do wish you success! I did find that logging my food on MFP and especially the MFP forums first by simply lurking/reading and then actively posting to be the real key in keeping me on track.
Hope everyone has a great push toward the end of the month!0 -

I didn't do so well this week. Most likely due to the fattier meats I ate during this weekend; hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, etc. I didn't really stick all that well to my meal plan and it shows. I also got a new, and hopefully more accurate, scale this past week, so that also may be a part of it because it looks like the new scale reads about a pound higher than the old one. I'm not so confident that I'll make my heft goal this month because that would mean I'd need to lose 4.4 lbs this week. Maybe I can if I have some water weight from all the salty food I ate this weekend, but probably not. On the flip side, at least I'm still down! I plan to drink a bunch of water and stay on track food wise this week to get back into the swing of things.
Great job everyone by the way!2 -

I am seriously surprised! My eating habits over vacation last week were ridiculous! I averaged 2190 calories a day! But still I lost throughout! my body was maybe just in shock or my metabolism got boosted or something!
but back to normal calories now and hoping the losses keep on coming! not sure if I will lose another 3 this week but I am super happy with my work this month 0 -

Well, it's not exactly what I was hoping for but hey, it's a loss! Much better than the recent months! I saw my dietitian again yesterday and felt really good after the visit. I don't usually eat lunch but she wants me to start thinking about starting to. That's going to be a little hard for me because it has been a long while since I have eaten lunch. And snacks, she wants me to eat those too.
Recondition my body she says...to expect those foods. Oh boy! This will be a challenge for me. Also she had me put myself on a schedule, certain times I will eat. It's my schedule so I should be able to handle it. Only time will tell! As I have already said...OH BOY! Everyone wish me luck, cause this girl will definitely need it over the next 5 weeks and beyond! Focus, focus, focus!
Okay, jumping off my soapbox to get ready for work!1 -

Didn't make goal for the month, but absolutely satisfied with the loss. Just coming off my time of month and having some kidney stone issues, so I am REALLY taking in a lot (and I mean a LOT) of high (natural) sugar fruit juices - cranberry and pomegranate to try and push this through as quickly as possible. I'm glad to have broken out of the 330's though and look forward to next month and new challenges

This week's weight loss really made up for the tiny weight loss I had last week. It just definitely proves to me that I ended up with water weight after all the salty and fatty foods I had the previous weekend. So an average of 3.3 lbs over the past 2 weeks is good for me! I'm looking forward to next month because I really want to hit 275 lbs! I feel like that's the next major milestone for me
Great job everyone on your losses and victories this month! You all are awesome!
