Good morning, glories. Lol This week's weigh in: 200.6, down from 203.8. Woo! 1.6 pounds left to my second major goal (50 pound gone) and only .6 to being in ONEderland!

Most accurate you can get is probably a HRM

It's possible... But you may plateau, or have to lower your goal as you get close to your final weight.

Our local qdoba gave my roommate food poisoning twice... We don't go there anymore.

I live in the land of the Cornhuskers... And I am NOT part of the sea of red.

I like goodwill, but I only buy there on 99cent sales. Else I go to our Salvation army store (better selection) or our local family thrift store (better pricing).

I used to eat ice cream or McDonald's and watch Biggest Loser. :laugh:

In general I say I'm having a 'cheat day', but it's only a meal that pushes the rest of the day over. I only go about 100-300 calories over, in general... or at least, I try to stay near that.

Make your own meals, bring them with, easy as processed!

3 pounds a week is good! Great even! Who cares about the competition, you're doing well and doing it right!

Stop drinking for about a year. Then magically you'll find you only need a drink or two to get drink. Weird. If you need ten, you're drinking too much, sorry. And drinking to get drunk is rather pointless, honestly, a nice buzz is plenty.

What's your sodium intake like? Are you eating back exercise calories? Drinking your water?

mmmmm raw flesh.... Yummy! I'm down for some. Fish, beef... Deer... (remember, real carnivores know their meat is fresh too...)

I wore a size 22 dress at 249, but generally a 20 in pants. I'm 5'5.5''

I think it's funny that people assume a 'cup' has anything to do with something you're meant to drink from... Not to mention that dry cups and liquid cups are different sizes. Hee. Imperial is awesome. (I like the metric system, too, I work in the sciences and that's all we use but I can't visualize a weight in kg to save…

New york and company treats me well sometimes, depending on the style. Or, wear a vest or sweater too.

Eat them (or most of them!) Mfp puts in a defecit for you, so that's perfectly fine.

I weigh once a week, and do measurements whenever I think something's changed, :laugh:

Thus far, 32 oz, but will have another 32 minimum

I suggestion anti-pronation shoes... they will FORCE you to walk on the middle of your foot.

Glancing at your diary, my suggestions would be to make certain you're drinking water and watch how much you get pre-made food, as I don't think some of your foods are actually showing all their sodium, etc and it may be hindering you.

Nah, I think the term is 'menses' or 'menstrual cycle' something like that... 'period' and 'time' are all just euphemisms.

Isn't 'period' a euphemism in the first place?

There is an adjustment period, yes. It will get better! Also, look at what you're eating. Protein and fiber keep you full longer, and a big plate of veggies fills you up with less calories than a piece of bread, in some cases. Make certain you're drinking your water, too, as that helps keep you feeling full. It helps me to…

203.8 from 206.6 Very nice... But I saw 201.8 yesterday, so sulking a tiny bit, lol.

You didn't GAIN 3 pounds, not in 2 days. You're retaining water. Drink more, continue on your path, you'll be back down soon enough.

I agree with using a tracker like Runkeeper (or timing your run/walk and knowing the distance works as well) to get your average pace and thereby, you can pick the best fit. :)

Honestly, you are at a healthy weight, perhaps focusing on toning more than numbers would behoove you more along your journey?

It took me nearly thirty pounds. Though, I'm still wearing the same pants for the most part... Yay belts.

Noooo.... Labor day means I can go outside without melting again. :) I hate summer. Hot, sticky, gross. Give me eleven months of spring and fall, please. Make your own soups. Easy, and no where near as much sodium. Nomnomnom.
