Well I am "officially" off my meds. I'm terrible at taking pills so I haven't really been taking them. When I told my doc that she took me off them because my numbers are going down dramatically without the meds!
I started at about 44, when it should be 19 to be "normal." Now I'm down to 24. Not "normal" yet but she said that I should be in the normal range at my next 3 month check up if I "keep up the good work."
Yay. No more feeling guilty for not taking my meds :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

Can i join in with you guys here. I too have about 1/2 of my weight to loose.
Started 310
Current 304 (woohoo 6lbs gone)
Goal : at least 160 (hadn't been under 165 in my adult life), maybe even down to like 140, we will see.
I pulled out a whole stack of my "skinny" pictures...I am using them as motivation, of course they were when I was 20-22 and I am now 34 , but i feel like i look and feel like more like 44. My skinny pictures were me at 165-200 , not exactly skin and bones but it is all i can remember so that what i am going for....Anything less than the over 300 lbs i have became is welcomed.
I have two little girls 6 and almost 3, i want to be able to do things with them, and hopefully they won't remember forever that there mom was too fat to do stuff and climb up the stairs. My 6 yr old does good, she will ask me if something has too much fat and stuff, one day she made sure and tell the lady sitting next to us that my mommy was on a diet and she can't have to much fat..cute and embarrassed at the same time. Today she helped me pull out my skinny pictures.
I have lots of little goals. Little ones, medium and big ones. My 1st weight goal is to get down to 275 this is about where i was when I got pregnant with my youngest daughter. I want to loose about 50lbs by my birthday in april , it is exactly 6 months from today.
I am lucky that my husband is very supportvie too, he is going on this weight loss journy with me, he has lots to loose too just not as much as me, he has about 85lbs to loose , but I know we WILL do it.0 -

Last Week: 271.7
This Week: 272.7
I gained a pound. Doesn't surprise me because I went to my family's pizza shop and I was starving... stuffed my face. This is what I get. I know better than to go down there when I'm really hungry, all will power goes out the door. Ugh.
Today's a new day. Back on track and even though I HAVE to go down there this saturday, I will not be eating food there. I'll bring snacks and eat lunch somewhere else.0 -

You CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Just a thought... in another group I'm in, they have a spreadsheet that they update each week with starting weight, current weight, weekly loss, percent loss, total loss, total percent loss, and average weekly loss. I could make one up for us if you guys would want me to. I personally like it because we see everyone's success even if we stumbled this week, we see the total change and how far we've come. It's very inspiring. Let me know!0

It would be fun to look at a chart like that but it sounds lke a lot of work. That kind of stuff drives me up a wall trying to figure out what to put where.0

Last week: 269
This week: 269
I maintained. I'm actually slightly excited about that because I originally thought I had gained a pound. Turned out it was my shoes... I weigh in at the doctors office, and normally i wear flip flops which weigh maybe an ounce and a half. I wore my sneakers today because it's chilly! And they weigh a pound and a half... XD
So I maintained through Halloween and a splurge dinner.0 -
