Hubby bought me a gift card to a spa for my birthday back in November that I have yet to use. At first I wanted to use it for my first 20 pounds. Then I upped it to my first 25...which I've just hit. Now I'm looking at waiting for 30. I may end up waiting until 50 at this rate. To me, getting to the next 5 pounds or…

This week I'm officially past the 200 mark. I do need to get a new battery for my scale. It's making me crazy because this morning I weighed 196.2 which I thought was a little low. I stepped right back on the scale and weighed 198.2. Wha'? So I'm thinking it needs a new battery if it can't make up it's mind. Heading off to…

Finally broke through the barrier and the weight appears to be coming off again. What is it about certain numbers that make you get stuck? I know I’ll get stuck again at 180. That’s just something I’m prepared for. But at least I know this time I won’t quit and give up. I’ll just keep plugging at it and make it through.…

You look great! By the way, we live in the same city!! I recognized the Callaway sign and wondered if you were a GA girl so I checked your profile page...yup! That is exactly where I live.

I am soooooo frustrated!!! I have been stuck for weeks and nothing is happening. No weight coming off, no inches coming off and I'm getting ready to throw the scale at a wall. No, I'm not relying only on the scale, but nothing else is happening either. I continue to exercise, eat within range, and drink my water to no…

Still stuck and hovering...and royally pissed off! If I can't get under this number, what makes me think I can get down to a normal weight? Not giving up but really angry with the scale right now. Oh, and according to MFP, I should be down to 183 in 5 weeks if I keep eating like I've been eating. I don't see how that's…

I’m having to remind myself that things are still going well even though the scale is making me crazy. I knew I would hover at 200 because it’s stressful for me. I’m trying to let go of the stress around it so it will MOVE! I also hate the “complete entry” button on MFP because every time I click it, it shows that I should…

Slowly but surely...I've met me 5 pound goal two months in a row. I really wish it was coming off faster but at least it's coming off. OriginalW: 224 SW for June: 200.4 GW for June: 195 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month 5/31/14: 200.4 6/2/14: 6/9/14: 6/16/14: 6/23/14: 6/30/14:

Okay, so I met the 5 pound goal but not the personal goal of breaking 200 pounds. Oh well. I’ll definitely hit it next month.

They actually have a meal calculator online so you can plug in various options before going and see exactly how many calories, macros, etc. are present in your meal. Worth checking out. http://www.chick-fil-a.com/food/meal

I have an app on my phone called Convert which has been very helpful.

So excited! I never lose much more than a pound but this week was great. 2.2 lbs lost this week! So close to breaking into 'onederland'! SW: 202.6 GW: 192.6 5/27/14: 200.4 6/3/14: 6/10/14: 6/17/14: 6/24/14: 7/1/14: 7/8/14: 7/15/14: 7/19/14:

You made a lot of progress all over but im really impressed with your back picture. That looks great! I just finished week one of Alpha & so far so good. Depending on how well I can do the workouts by week 5, I thought about going a little longer with Alpha before jumping into Beta. Did you finish Alpha feeling like you…

I weighed too soon! For some reason I felt compelled to weigh again this morning and I was shocked. More weight down! I must have been holding on to some sodium or something. So I’m updating mine to today! OriginalW: 224 SW for May: 205.6 GW: 199 …personal goal is to break 200 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (5/01 Thur):…

Wow! Great job adstott!

Slowly but surely! I think I'm going to have to push hard this week to reach 5 though. 1.2 to make 5 pounds and 1.8+ to get under 200. That's a tall order for one week but not impossible!!!

For those who were curious, I was using the customizer from Red Robin and the salad I was looking at was the Chicken alla Caprese Salad. There was 2015 mg of sodium before doing any customizing to it (like removing things). I make Caprese Salad at home so I had thought it might not be too horrible. Oh well. From what I've…

Right now I work out at home because I have lots of options here (Zumba for the Wii, weights and a treadmill), but I intend on eventually joining a gym. Whenever I think about being the biggest one at the gym, I think about THIS http://flintland.blogspot.com/2012/05/hey-fat-girl.html and the fact that EVERYBODY has things…

Congratulations girl! I started out very close to where you did (224) and am pushing through trying to reach 'onederland' as well. You probably totally get this: I am tired of all my weight fluctuations starting with a '2'. I think I'll feel a bit better when there's a '1' there. Be very proud of all your accomplishments…

I'm in! Vacation July 19 so I have 60 days. That's almost 9 weeks; I would love to lose more but I'm going to shoot for 10 pounds by then. I have not been able to lose more than a pound and a half a week since I started so 2.0 a week would be wishful thinking. This way if I DO lose more than 10 it will be joy all around!…

I’m doing well so far toward 5 for the month but not so sure I’ll reach my personal goal of breaking 200. I’m still hopeful though!

Thanks!

I am only 45 but started with pre-menopausal symptoms a few years ago. Hot flashes, non-existent menses, some irritability... and I put on a 9 pounds after staying the same weight for several years. That's not to say I was at a good weight in the first place, but I didn't want to add anything to it by any means. I have no…

So far… OriginalW: 224 SW for May: 205.6 GW: 199 (I know 5 pounds would be 200.6, but I would love to get under 200 with this month. I'm thinking positively!)

I have lost and gained weight many times over the years for a variety of reasons. This time I had several build up on me. I'd been snoring horribly enough that hubby had taken to sleeping in the extra bedroom. I did NOT like that. I stayed so puffy and fat that my wedding ring didn't fit anymore. Then I went to the doctor…

My good capris that fit no longer do, I have to roll the waistband down so they pull up a bit and the booty doesn't sag. And of all things, my underwear feels too big! I remember having to go up a size for it and it upset me so badly because you can stay in the same size underwear for a long time. Admitting I had to go up…

I am donating clothing as well! I've got a couple of tops I am milking for as much as I can get from them so I don't have to spend lots of money to replace them but they are soon to be gone!

Everybody's NSV's sound great! I had to buy new bras this weekend...primarily because the wire broke in my one good one, but I had to buy a size down! Woohoo! Plus I bought some workout pants and I actually bought XL instead of 1X that I've been wearing. Yay! I've crossed from plus size to regular sizes...at least in…
