Happy Sunday, everyone! Well I was on my way to a small loss, and then the scale decided to push back. My eating has been erratic this week, I did well for the first part of the week, then the office potluck and dinner at a restaurant with friends on the same day, and snacks at a concert the next day... and then my…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Well I had an up-and-down week resulting in the same weekly average for this week as last. A few days after we returned from vacation, as I mentioned last week, both our trucks broke down. They are fixed.. but after some discussion we decided to retire our older vehicle (21 years old) and buy a…

Thanks :) Back in ONEderland today - barely! 199.9. At least it didn't take a month to lose what I gained in a week :) Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! I missed the first 2 weeks of this month's challenge as I was away on vacation. I went off the wagon some. I knew I would. I still logged everything so I didn't have an unexpected result. When we returned, both our vehicles broke down in the same day - Thursday. We have been scrambling to get them…

I am in! Weigh day is Sunday!

Happy Friday, everyone! One last check-in to finish the month, and it's a milestone. Average for the last 7 days starts with a 1!!!! I leave for vacation in a few hours...hoping not to gain. Going to visit my Mom. I will have access to a scale, so that will keep me accountable. Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.…

Great idea! I love the shirt...I just don't want it to fit anymore! I found one for sale on Etsy size L, but it is in Malaysia and it's nearly $100 USD with shipping! The one I have is XXL. Too rich for me... Jenn

The August 28th Einstein T-Shirt photo is becoming an annual tradition! 44 lbs gone between the first picture in 2016 and today. The T-shirt is actually a bit too big to be flattering anymore, but I was keeping to the theme! :) Wish I could find it in a smaller size...it was a limited edition thing...I digress... Wishing I…

Hang in there. Plateaus happen. Your body may be adjusting. You may feel changes, weight shifting, clothes feeling looser even if the scale doesn't say so. Keep at it, things will move again. Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! As I posted the other day, I zoomed into ONEderland this week! 2 days in a row. I am 200 even today, that is OK it fits my pattern. I expect to fluctuate a bit before that 2 is in my rear-view mirror for good. I am also headed out on vacation next weekend so my routine will be derailed. We'll see…

It happened today....WHOOSH! 199.2!!!!!! My first peek at ONEderland! I will likely fluctuate up and down for a week or two before the average starts with a 1, and that is OK. 20 months of MFP and this challenge thread every month have helped tremendously. I still have a while to get to goal, but this psychological barrier…

Hopefully soon. Realistically it won't be for good until the weekly average starts with a 1-number. I am 51 years old. I have been over 200 lbs for over half of my life. I went over 200 during my first pregnancy in 1992, and only saw a 1 number a couple of times since, 18 years ago. My daughter is 26, and my son is 24.…

Happy Sunday, everyone! No, I didn't see a 199 number yet...but it will happen soon. I am really pleased with my progress this month, it is the best one in a long while. Vacation coming September 1st, planning how not to undo this...there will be food... Going to visit my Mom, she lives on the third floor...perhaps stairs…

You've got this!! We've got this! Jenn

Hang in there. Loss isn't always linear. I weigh daily, and average weekly and that shows a clearer picture of real losses. Lots of things can cause fluctuations. Keep at it, you will see results! Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! Another busy week done. Not one, not 2, but THREE new daily lows this week. That is rare for me. I will take it! I am getting close to ONEderland!!!! 200.4 today. Might I see it this week? It won't be for real until the average starts with a 1, but for the first time in a long time, I feel it will…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Busy week this past week, inadvertently skipped breakfast a couple of times. I usually eat at work and I was training a new employee. Fun and busy weekend, mini golf, fishing...I love summertime! Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1999: 195. Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.…

I'm in! Jenn

Last day of the month, checking in! Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1999: 195. Original starting weight: 243 in 2015. MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233 Goal: 180 in however long it takes. Weekly averages: June 24th to July 1st: 203.1 July 2nd to July 8th: 203.5 July 9th to July 15th: 204.2…

Happy to see you! Thanks for keeping this going for us! Jenn

Has anyone heard from @SamanthaLouiseMence ? She hasn't posted since starting this thread. I am concerned about her. I sent her a message, haven't heard back. I hope she is OK. Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! Busy week, I nearly forgot to check in! Seeing small progress, finally got my average into the 202s, albeit barely.. Saw 2 new daily lows in one week. That hasn't happened in forever. I am happy with that. Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999. Lowest since 1999: 195. Original starting weight:…

You inspire me. You have done amazingly well. Hang in there! Jenn

I feel your pain. I am in about the same place as you, I have been bouncing between 205 and 202.6 for what seems like forever. Seems a few of us are stuck right now. Hang in there, we are all in this together. Our strong relationship with gravity isn't as strong as our resolve to beat it! I find sometimes even though the…

Happy Sunday, everyone! A better week this week, still trying to score a net loss on the month, but I had a better week, and did better in sticking to my calorie goal or less each day. I saw 202 numbers again this week so hopefully those higher numbers are gone again, for good this time. No new daily low, but I matched it…

I feel your pain. My husband is slim, has trouble gaining weight, and he grazes constantly. It doesn't seem fair. 😀 Jenn

I appreciate the support! We all struggle at times, and it feels good to know I am not alone! Under my calorie goal for today. Onward and DOWNWARD! Jenn 😀

Woooooooohooooooo! I missed this the other day. So happy for you! That is awesome! 😀 Jenn

Happy Sunday, everyone! Not a good week on the scale. I have been pretty good about my calorie count except Friday. I didn't just fall off the wagon, I ripped the wheels off and burned that sucker down! A coworker bought in chicken biscuits AND doughnuts. It was downhill from there. I over-indulged a bit yesterday too. We…

Happy Sunday, everyone! Small gain in the average this week, midweek my weight spiked a bit, but it was just water, which made its way away. Saw a new daily low yesterday of 202.6, so I am happy with that. That's how I roll, up and down, as long as the longer term trend keeps going down, it's OK. Highest weight ever: 254…
