I weighed Wed. and I was 236.5 then I weighed Fri. and I was 234.5, Dec 1st I was 233.5. I think my body I'd going thru changes and it's causing my weight to fluctuate. I keep wanting to hit that 230.0 mark but it seems so far away. Oh well, I know I will get there eventually.
This is a stressful time of the year and the stress causes me to eat. I know I am not hungry but that is how I deal with anything.
You are successful and you will continue to be successful.

I have to admit I did have a second helping of the c-p-p because it was soooo good. Then one small dish of dessert which was a Weight Watchers recipe - not so much damage as a regular dessert.
I've thrown my shoulder out of joint patting myself on the back!! :lol:

Today is Friday my weigh in day. I have indulged in a few cookies and goodies this week but I have also done my exercises and if I eat junk have not eaten dinner. So I was shocked to see that I lost 2.8 pounds. That brings me to a total loss of 24 pounds. One more pound and I am half way there.
Thank you for all of your support it really helps.

Weighed in today and I lost! Lost enough to make up for last weeks gain and still show a loss. Down 9 pounds now. Kind of a difficult week for eating healthy. Both DH and I have colds, son out of town so less inclined to cook a nice meal and celebrated our baby girls graduation from college on Saturday. Had so much fun with her and the 2 sons and GF who could be there. DH was too sick to join us for the celebration dinner. I am so proud of her!!

Congrats Mary!
Congrats to everyone who has done such an amazing job during this month which is famous for food!
I was doing really well and then on Thursday our dog ran away. Needless to say, I've been stuffing my face ever since. I called into an OA meeting last night and just sat and listened to people sharing their stories about their compulsive overeating. I was part of OA 2 years ago but couldn't bring myself to completely believe that I have a problem with food. Well duh, this episode has shown me that I do. I'm very sad about our dog but eating nonstop isn't going to bring her back. DH and I did our groceries last night and I had to stop and catch my breath towards the end. My chest was tight and I got really scared. I need to eat better, exercise better, and learn to release my stress better. Today is a new day and all I can do is try.
Thank you everyone for sharing your successes and your struggles. I love this thread and feel so encouraged by you all. *hugs*

this is such a wonderful idea. Because of illness I've gained a lot of weight but I'm ready to try to do something about it and having a quilt of my accomplishments may be what I need to tell my story and keep on track. Thank you for sharing this sweet idea
