Yesterday morning I stepped on the scales and was surprised to see a
number
I haven't seen in quite sometime. Just to be sure I weighed again this
morning and sure enough I've broke the 150 barrier. I now weigh 149.5
!!
It's so good to see the 140's again after a long and tough struggle to
get
rid of these last few pounds.

I'm in the midst of a very stressful project at work and in the past
I've
usually gained a few pounds while implementing new software. It's so
d*mn
frustrating battling wits with a machine This time around I've
been
able to forgo the mindless reaching for snacks. The biggest calorie
saver
has been Crystal Light. Instead of a 100+ calorie snack I'm satisfied
with
a 10 calorie glass of CL.

For now I'll continue to work out at Curves and watch the stress eating
as
I
want to see the bottom range of the 140's!

Well done! I'm pleased for you. I wish I could soon have that feeling too.
I've been rock solid between 167 and 166 for about 10 days. I'm still
determined to continue, but I don't know what else to do to budge it. I
increased my exercise a little bit, but without any visible improvement.

Hang in there.. I did that once and over night I lost ten pounds. I
don't know what happened. I think I had already lost the weight but my
body must have kept water or something. It was terrible staying on
that diet doing that work and not seeing any quick result but it came
over night.. Just hang in there.. If your calorie numbers are right..
it will happen..

Thanks. Just keep at it and those stubborn pounds will eventually give way.
It's not been an easy time for me to lose these last few pounds. I honestly
believe my decision to join a gym and get some regular exercise has been the
key to my getting back into a regular weight loss mode. Before the gym I
would lose 5, gain 5 and continued to do this for quite sometime. Hopefully
your extra exercise will some the same results soon.

Anyway, you now have a good incentive to go on. It's a good idea to have
milestones along the way, as you do. Onwards, then, to the low 140s!

Dieting *ought* to be a piece of cake.

Thanks to everyone for your support. I was up early this morning and just
had to jump back on those scales to see this number again G

What? You lost 10lb in water overnight? You would have noticed this coming
out of you (trying not to be too crude here ). 10lb of water is a lot.
Maybe your scales weren't calibrated correctly, you weren't reading them
correctly, or you cut off your forearm. I find it very difficult to believe
that you can lose 10lb of water in the course of 24 hours. Did you notice
yourself spending longer in the bathroom? My weight fluctuates by about 2lb
at the very most - usually much less.

No. I did not lose ten pounds in water.. What I said was that I lost
ten pounds in less than a week.. and I remarked: "it might have been
water retention as I had stayed on my low calories intake for those
two weeks of not losing any weight on the scale.
I was comfused and I just figured I must have lost the mass weight and
the weight on the scale might have been some kind of water retention.

I didn't know then why I went throught that two weeks without losing
any weight and I stll don't know why. It just happened.

You actually did say overnight. You can see why I was surprised. Over a
week is more believable

Congrats! It's great to see you've gotten a handle on the
work/stress/food thing! I'm still working on that!


262/239.5/200 first goal

Just pronounce me perpetually on-the-mend. I am recovering from
overuse and overextension injuries to feet/legs. Hope to make it to
the gym again today, after not going for a few weeks.

I remember that feeling, I had that selfsame feeling about 10 days ago
(but at first ashamed of it because I know that I haven't weighed this
little in years, since 1985). I preferred to hover around the
mid-190's stably, for years at a time sometimes.
