Weighed a little early - 146.8

Weighed in at 210.4 this morning! The good trend continues!

Tucker Cat lost another 3 ounces. He's at 15.25 pounds now. I think it's going to be a long process for him to get down to 13 pounds.

Fortunately, Cassie Cat's weight has stayed the same, so even though we're putting out less food, she seems to be getting her fair share.

Going in the wrong direction...144.2

The scale was flipping between 224 and 225 this AM, but I'll err on the side of being conservative and call it 225. Not much lost, but it's steady - and our weather is improving...more riding!!

Or ASammy1 -you'll get an even more special color change for meeting your goal so fast!

Oooh, I like that idea Possegal! Thanks again for all you do for us.

232.2...wrong way, wrong way, wrong way.

I have only myself to blame. Poor diet choices this week, and I've been off any real exercise for three weeks since I was rear-ended at a stop light. Relatively minor as car accidents go, but it was hard enough to keep me off my bike and out of the pool for a while.

Paying for it here.

This is getting harder, though the big picture is still good. The scale has been up and down all week long- dipped below 114 earlier in the week...

but it's up some today 114.8.

I am openly not posting. I have struggled a little in the past month with being obsessive about the scale. My nutritionist told me that if I am feeling bloated (because of a period) or salt intake not to step on the scale. I am tapering for a race on sunday, and I can feel that I weigh more from increased salt and lack of running. But, I am trying to convince myself that I am supposed to, because my legs are going to use that on Sunday

Sorry, I just had to vocalize it so that I don't feel guilty and go step on the scale. Maybe monday. Trying to keep a healthy mental attitude (and it can be really hard sometimes!!!)

Good work everyone!!!

Possegal, I'm going to ask you to take me off the spreadsheet. I've been at my WW maintenance weight for almost a year now (Yay!) but have been obsessing over getting off a few more pounds. Which means I obsess on everything I put in my mouth, and I don't think that's healthy for me at this point in my journey.

So, I've decided to put the scale away for a while, and just concentrate on my training (which is going great) and how my clothes fit (which is also great) and leave it at that.

My hope is that I've learned enough in the past 18 months that I can simply eat sensibly and make good choices.

I want to thank everyone for all the incredible encouragement you gave me when I was still actively losing. And I want you all to know what strong, beautiful, courageous women you all are.

158..........wrong way! wrong way! wrong way! Me too, Roxy!

Bad weekend at my son's last week celebrating his birthday. I'm paying for it now.

For kacie and Susan O., a suggestion: Since we live in a home with a small bathroom, we really don't have floor space to keep a weigh scale permanently there. So we put our scale in storeroom on shelf. It makes the scale abit less visible and abit less accessible. I can get it out within 3 min.

It works for me since I forget to weigh myself for chunks of time. I weigh myself approx. 2-4 times per month or less even.

I'm filled with wonder for people who do weigh themselves daily for several years. I psychologically could not handle that.
