Hey I'm checking in! I have fallen off the wagon pretty hard lately. I've been back on starting on Monday of this week. I really don't want to weigh myself for 2 weeks because I know the number will depress me! I know I've had to gained weight so I hope I'm down to my signature weight by that time.

[**Lola**]

Just bite the bullet and weigh yourself Stacie. I've played that avoid the scale game too and it never leads to anything but more gain.

Chances are much of your weight gain is just water weight anyway. If you weigh yourself now and then in a week, you'll be feeling great because you will be back to losing again versus a week from now still being scared to get on the scale and not really knowing where you are.

[pescacat]

Hi Stacie-
I agree with Lola-knowing where you are and what you have to do is better than not knowing. Good luck!

How are things going otherwise?

I agree too, just weigh and get it over with, that way you will know how well you are doing next time you weigh!!

[StlCardsGirl]

Ok..I'll take your advice everyone..I had another good day today! I won't be home this weekend and it's TOM so I will weigh Monday morning. Thanks everyone!

Down only 1# this week, but I know a med I'm on is slowing me so I just have to deal.

Measured and am going down inches so that's cool.

Keeping on, going down, not up.

Morning Ladies

Weighed this morning and I am 276. Two lb gain Measured and I have lost 3 1/4 inches, hands r swollen so I figure Im retaining fluid. Going to increase my water intake today. I have been really bad about drinking the water I need.\

WTG for all that lost and keep going to those of us that didn't. We still have alot of time

[iamcrazy]

My current weight is 271.8, doen 10.2 from last week

[pescacat]

Hi-
I am UP to 293.7 this morning. Think it was the chinese food from yesterday (hope it is just water retention...dunno) Woke up with a low blood sugar this morning so had some carbs to get it up-not a great way to start the day BUT at least I'm alive and still kicking! I get another chance to fight the good fight!


Sharon and June-sorry you guys are up on the scale but congrats on the inches shed! WOOHOO!

Diana-CONGRATS and KUTGW!!!

[pescacat]

WTG!!

I have to correct my post. I am at 296.6 as of this morning

[4MyDaughter]

Start weight 170?
Current weight 170?
July 4th goal 155

I weigh somewhere between 166-170. I go up and down daily. If I actually make it to 155, life would be good!!

I know I will not make goal this time but I'm gonna try my damnedest to get as close as possible. Congrats to everyone who has lost, and to those of us who are struggling...keep at it.

[JUNEBUG2]

WTG Kougra, I also had a nice drop on the scales. Must be that whoosh fairy

[got2getmoving]

The challenge is almost over - I have bounced back and forth the last few weeks 266--262-266. Lots of stress due to money situations and lack of it! Struggling to keep the right foods in the house. I haven't been an avid poster - but I do read them on a regular basis.

[skeopple]

Fonda, Just keep doing the best you can do and when things are better, you'll be glad you hung on.

Friday is the 4th of July and try as hard as I am, might not lose as much as pledged BUT I'm going down and not up on the scale and that's what's important. This challenge has helped so much!

[JUNEBUG2]

Weight today, 270. Don't think I will make it to goal, but I will take the 7 lb loss and smile

[magickal1]

[skeopple]
