Hi Ladies!
I've been in a rut for a few weeks but I think I'm finally snapping out of it. Last night I felt so awful after eating junk. So, after work today when my daughter invited me to go with her to the Y, I took her up on it and finally I exercised!! I don't know what it was, but I was really stubborn about getting back to exercising. It's so key for me because it helps me feel more positive and make better choices with my diet. I hope to get control of my calories again now and start losing again.
Smooshmcsmeesh - Thank-you very much for your kind encouragement last week when I posted about being in a rut. It encouraged me very much and helped me not to give up.

With a little bit of help from some medium control knickers I'm finally wearing my next size down jeans. 
With no lumps, bumps or muffin top in sight! This is the first time in a looong time that I've felt good looking in the mirror.
Still a long way to go and while I'm still struggling to see a difference in my size I think I'm just over a quarter of the way there now.
It's so much easier than I thought it would be, and I'm so happy that I finally kicked my own a*** in to gear and started my battle with the bulge. And I definitely owe some thanks to my FitDay ladies, who have unwittingly unleashed the competitive beast within.
Big love to you all!

Thanks, actually I haven't lost very much since the end of June, but at least I haven't fallen off the wagon completely. Summer is really hard for me, my garden is making goodies like crazy and I always do a ton of canning, which of course means eating, since there is no sense in canning it unless it tastes good right? I get into trouble out picking too, cherry tomatoes can just pop right off the vine and into my mouth and I don't even notice 
!
I came up with my goal weight by looking at various resources, charts at the gym, on-line sites and I also asked my doctors, both knee and regular. They both looked me in the eye and said 115, our Wii Fit Plus said 119.5, but it only lets me put in whole numbers and I'm only 5'-2" when I round up. I also have a slight or delicate skeletal frame, small hands, feet, wrists, ankles, teeth etc. I added in an extra 5 pounds because I'm rather well endowed and none of those charts or websites take cup size into consideration, if you know what I'm saying...

Bleh. My weight is all over the place. I couldn't figure out why, but now I am wondering if its going to be TTOTM early... because my breasts have been super tender 
(Sorry, TMI).
Anyways, its disappointing to say the least!

Weight watchers says I should be 124-155. I am 5'6". I am large frame, built like my dad a 6'3 265 ound man lol. When I met my husband 13 years ago I was 155 pounds for 8 months only and that was the only time I was actually healthy in my life. I remember thinking I was still fat so that is why I would like to maybe get to 140 but I would be really happy with 155 again for sure!
Funny that you say you're built like your dad, I'm built just like my dad's sisters. My dad has a much blockier build, he's all torso with short legs, we always joke that he's built like a field stone privy (or a brick sh** house). Personally I'm hoping to get my figure all the way to "built like a sack of wild cats", it's a work in progress.
Oh and ladies I'm starting a new thread for September, I thought a funny one the other day and have been chuckling to myself over starting it.
