You have a few more days so hang in there and don't get to up tight about the last few pounds. Just keep up the routine you've been doing. I do the same when I have to weigh myself. I try to wear the same thing and do it at the same time of day.
I am 5.3 and my goal is 135 but if I get to the right size I don't care about reaching a set pound amount. I have gone from a tight 16 to a tight 12 in some things so more needs to come off.
Today was not a very good eating day. My BIL took DH and I to McD's for breakfast and then we went to another place for lunch. All I wanted to do was eat at home and have my tuna and salad for lunch.
Then dinner was leftovers of roast and scalloped potatoes Not A Good Day. Tomorrow will be better. BIL went home this afternoon so I can get back to my routine. Don't think I will get on the scales for a couple of days. I don't want to see the scales up and wipe out what I have lost so far this month. Not enough to win FQ's but thats not the reason I joined this group. I already have my FQ for the winner and Missy . It's late so I'm off to bed. I'll try to get on tomorrow and check in with you all.
Hugs to all
Gail

I used to tell people that I didn't care what I weighed as long as I could fit into a certain size but now I find it does matter to me so I'll stick with my food plan and exercise goals and pray for weight loss.

Missy, your such an inspiration. I love your posts. My prayers will be with you all the way through. I wish you could talk to my friend - she is morbidly obese and has several major health problems. Yesterday during swimming she almost feinted and her husband took her to the hospital. They think her pacemaker is malfunctioning. They let her come home for the night with a heart moniter but she has to go back to the hospital pacemaker clinic this morning for more tests. The doctors have tried to talk her into weight loss surgery but she is refusing. I worry about her.

My goals for today:
Stay under 1200 calories
Lap swim for 30 minutes
Walk 1 mile

Have a good day everyone. I will check in later to let you know how I'm doing on my goals and see how everyone else is doing.

I'll have my girls in 8 days and I'm feeling spastic! Went for my walk and lugged my camera today because I found a really nice sight since I've expanded my walk. Thought I'd share a pic of what I saw.

I still can't bring myself to eat much. I made myself a portion of oatmeal and had to force myself to eat half of it. If this keeps up, I think I might have to buy myself some slimfast shakes so I can at least get some nutrients in. I've been stocking up for the girls so I now have junk food in the house but even that doesn't look or sound appetizing. Never thought I'd see the day where I have to force myself to eat.

Well, got a long list of things to get done today, so I'm off!

Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning.
