Steph.............204...........204.............160...........n/a...................n/a

Just my luck to start this challenge just before the TOM was due...

I am seriously hoping this gain is only due to the water-retention thing. I was doing so well!!! And, then, out of the blue, a pound went on, and today, I was up a total of 2.2lbs - GRRRRR. Mind you, unlike me, I forgot to weigh myself immediately after the first wee of the day, and had already had a cup of tea when I weighed myself, so maybe it was about 0.2lbs too much (like, big deal, but you know how it is with these numbers!!!)

I've been going through mild PMS for the last few days (unusual for me, I usually just have symptoms the very day before, but maybe it's some weird perimenopausal thing that happens to ladies "d'un certain age", and I shall now have to accept a longer PMS phase before the dang thing begins...). Great...

Oh well, I may well post my weight before next Monday if things move downwards all of a sudden!!! It's kind of depressing being up in the 140s again...

Hope the rest of you are seeing downwards movement!!!

Keep the carbs low, that's the way to go!!!

amanda

Good to hear you're doing fine!

I'm doing fine today - back down to 138.8lbs!

I put in my stats wrongly - I've just changed them on my original Monday post - so could you use that the next time you post your weight? The "current" and "start" weight were the wrong way round...

Tell you what, I was very nervous when I stepped on the scale this morning. The dinner on Saturday night was a bit of a nightmare, but I think I did OK considering the options... take a look at the menu, yikes!

I'm not overly excited by my loss, but even the smallest amount counts right?!

Well done to everyone who lost +1.... that's great!

amandawood... you will lose those pesky couple of water pounds as soon as you get your post PM whoosh I'm sure

Dear Scale,

I know in the past we have had a hate hate relationship, but I feel of late that we have worked at restoring what we once had.

Please if you could work with me over the weekend to reduce '126' by just 1.... only 1.... I promise we will be friends for life.

Love Lilozzi

Hi gals!

Wish me luck over the weekend!!! I have a mums' night out tonight and I have resolved to STAY OFF THE BEER!!! I really really really want to get out of this 63kg bracket - I have been there for weeks and weeks now and it's generally been due to beer or cake creeping onto the menu. Today it's NO BEER!!!

I had a bit of a meltdown due to getting angry over a kids'-related health thing last Friday night, but I have been very good on the carbs and beer front since then. But due to TOM, no positive movement on the scales... Just up and down...

I am sure that if I stick with my 60g of carbs and no beer for the next few days that I will get into the 62kg bracket and actually stay there for a while, before going into 61!!! I am determined to get there, I really am!!!

amanda

Let's just do our best to get as many of those ten pounds gone by May 1st, hey? We can always open a new challenge if we're not quite there, right?

See ya Monday!
