I did great in this WOL all summer and lost about 15 lbs, then went back to work as a nurse on the 3-11 shift. I was so proud of myself for the first couple of weeks, then started having a hard time getting "good" food around in time to take to work with me, and ended up SOOO HUNGRY around 8pm with a break room full of hi carb goodies. I started to feel like it was just too hard to maintain, as rushed as I always was. The rest is history. I don't even know what I weigh now. I'm scared...

I was so happy to see 165-something last week after steady losses since starting this 7/20. I've even been tearing up the treadmill when I'd ordinarily shrug it off. I've had lots more hustle at work & in pretty much everything I do. I can't complain... I'm feeling pretty great. Took my measurements after 2 weeks and it says I've lost like 3 inches from the fattest part of my gut. Pants are a little bit looser, too. But I don't really feel 3 inches thinner. And my weight has been back up to...

Right now I'm going to search the BB for posts about exercise/weight gain correlation... I know there's gotta be something on...

Well, I started this WOL 16 days ago and haven't looked back since! The scale said 177 the day I started, but I'd been hovering closer to 180 for about the last 6 months. The last time I weighed myself I was 167.0!! That was a couple of days ago and I'm trying to hold off for a few days... then hopefully I'll be able to start weekly weights. Right at first it's just too tempting... I had to get on there first thing every morning just to prove to myself this WOE is actually *WORKING!* What a great...
