Ugh. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your encouraging words, I'm not going to let you all down and spiral into a sulkfest, I can't deny I'm feeling a little bit sorry for myself, I just won't wallow.
Probably fair for a week with 3 meals out and yesterday's Great Day Of Endless Appetite that was. Onwards!5 -

Really really struggling to lose anything now. I've decided to give up trying to reach my goal of 176lb (100lb loss). I'm settling at 94lb loss and moving to maintenance for a while!
That is hardly settling....that is A MAZING!5 -

Yes. Onwards and downwards!3 -

I haven't felt satisfied by any of my usual meals/snacks and have just eaten dinner at 3.45 because I was just so hungry. It's not looking good with the rest of the afternoon/evening to go. I'm not sure what's going on with me, maybe because it's time of the month but I have tried to go with it rather than fight it and end up in a binge. Just annoying when I hoped I still had a chance to lose for tomorrow.
BUT at the very beginning of the week I shot up 3lbs after a few meals out in a row and I managed to get that back down quickly by not panicking and just getting back into it, so I guess I'll count that as my win (and tbf not gaining tomorrow will be a win after those meals out).
I see so many wins here. You recognized what you need to do to prevent a binge. Working to lose those 3 pounds and knowing that’s a win is a win. You have compassion for yourself which I learned is a big part of dealing with binge eating.Huckleterrie wrote: »

Truthfully, I am a little disappointed. I really thought I would lose a bit more but I didn’t gain. The positive is I have been slowly losing since November when my weight hit 213. Baby steps! The second positive is I am making much better choices. I am eating more fruit and vegetables. Next step is to improve my weekend choices.
Have a fantastic Friday!6 -

Sending love! I hope your surgery goes well and you can start to put this all behind you, so you can get outside with the kids and pups!
Thank you very much 1 -

YAY! I am so pleased. I know it isn't a lot but it has been a real struggle to see any movement below 150. Last week I worked hard on upping my steps and I think that helped. I haven't done as great this week but it is motivation to get moving more!
I wish it would hurry up and be nice weather -wise here. I love having all seasons but spring is very windy in Santa Fe. It's like it is just starting to get warm but we have awful wind gusts, blowing tumbleweeds etc! Anyway, I want to walk outside more! Soon the wildflowers will start though and I'll be outside regardless then.5 -
Here is this week's weigh in info.
User: justlog2day
Weigh-in Day: Friday
PW: 144.1 lbs
CW: 143.2 lbs
I'm actually going to bow out of the challenge for now going forward. If you can keep me on the list as 'inactive' for now, that would be good. If you can't, I understand and I'll rejoin when it makes sense for me to do so.
Thank you!6 -

I love how positive you are! I used to set hard deadlines for when I wanted to be a certain weight. The harder the deadline the more I seemed to gain. This time around I decided to remove the hard stop and just concentrate on being moderate. Even if I lose .1 of a pound it still counts as a win! You just proved this as well, looking back at November compared to now is definitely a win!3 -

Happy Friday Linda! I know how hard it is to trust the process and be happy with modest losses, but I’m glad that you see the positive in slow and consistent loss. With a well planned weekend, you can get a jump start on next week’s success! You’re doing amazing!
