And just like that....in 24 hours....4 pound gain is gone. Cue the Twillight Zone theme. Lol Thanks for the encouraging words!

Thank you! Very informative!

[/quote] I don't say this to be a negative Nancy but to give you a frame of reference - I have pretty similar stats to you. I went from 145 to now @ 130. It took me over a year to lose that 15 lbs. When you are already in a healthy weight range, it is really hard to eat low enough calories to lose more than half pound per…

I am. I am always on the scale on Monday mornings before breakfast. You know...I've only owned a scale for the past 5 years or so. I rarely weighed myself when I was in my 20s (my weight was so stable) and I only started weighing myself regularly in work (at the school nurse's office) in my 30s when I was sick and losing…

I hear ya. The 6.2 was over two weeks. But yeah...big change.

Ugh! I hear ya. A 4.2 loss my first week was HUGE, but I wasn't too shocked. My eating habits were awful during much of November and December. I hate to be graphic, but constipation was an ongoing thing at that time. I was really eating so poorly....and not just snacking...but having crummy rushed meals of whatever I could…

Thank you. I appreciate that. Trust me...I didn't expect a LOSS this week. Maybe stay the same....or gained a pound....but 4.2???? Yikes

Central NJ here. 30" of snow. How many calories in wine?

Challenging weekend. 30 inches of snow blanketed much of New York and New Jersey. Good news? Burned a ton of calories shoveling snow. Bad news ? In the Blizzard of 2016 you're gonna be drinking some wine! But....I did okay with food and today was back on track!

Mmmmmm. Chinese food! Glad you got back on track and didn't beat yourself up about it. I admire everyone with their motivation to exercise. Mine is out the window !!!!! How do you do it ?!

Doing it and doing it and doing it well. Except the exercise. Blahhhh. Super lazy lately

Week 3 and I have been the worst at posting here. Week 2 didn't go quite the way I wanted it to but I logged in everything and kept myself calorie accountable. I was great with that and the water, but exercise really didn't happen. My husband worked doubles all week and I SHOULD HAVE done it anyway .... But I was…

Well...days 6 and 7 were not very good but 8 and 9 were great! Came in under calorie goal, drank my 100oz of water both days. Worked out today. Feeling fabulous!

Day 5 and 6 were not good at all. Weekends are impossible ....especially when you have the RARITY of babysitters and can go to a restaurant. Back on track today. The GOOD NEWS is that I am down 4 pounds since my starting weigh in on 1/4!!!!!!

Day 5 (yesterday) wasn't great at all but I logged everything and took my lumps. Day 6 I hope is better...date night with hubby. Might be tough. We will see. Wish me luck!

Day 4 in the books. I logged everything. I stayed within calorie range, which is good news. Drank my 100oz Tomorrow will be an exercise day. When week 2 starts I will add in a 4th exercise day. Keep it going guys! Kim

Day 3 in the books! Logged everything....drank my 100 oz...and did 45 minutes of cardio. Unfortunately I still didn't make calorie goal. 38 calories over.

Okay. Day 2 done. Finished under my calories...but only by a few. I also drank my 100 oz of water. Tomorrow will be a workout day. Woo hoo!!!!!!

Not too bad. Went over by 150 calories though. But....I'm about to bust that off on the treadmill.

I'm in. 3 weeks ! 1) Logging every bite everyday 2) 100 oz of water per day 3) 30 minutes of cardio at least 4 times each week

Hi Madaly: You sound so very depressed. It's hard to get started. I truly believe that is the absolute hardest mountain to climb over. Getting started, and then staying with it. I understand both depression and Celiac Disease. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2006 when I was 95 pounds soaking wet and convinced I was…

I'll be 44 in July....I'm also a Kim 1971...lol. I have about 8 more pounds to lose out of the 15 I wanted to get rid of. Not too bad. But at this stage of my life I am finding it harder and harder to shed any pounds. Hormones....? Perimenopause...? I also have celiac disease, so on top of journaling and counting calories…

Nope.
