Trying to stay "up" today
Feeling just a tad blue so I'm working hard to stay "up" and keep it positive. The scales haven't moved in a little over 2 weeks (well, it moves, but just back and forth between 3 pounds!) and it's getting tiresome. I KNOW that I'm due for a plateau, so I'm trying to focus on the good things, but...
Also today, the glob of hair in the shower was about twice it's normal size, and when I comb my hair, there 15-20 hairs laying on the sink everytime I'm done and I'm getting nervous. My mother, whose hair is very, very thin, has worn a full wig since she was 28 years old and I'm terrified that my hair will fall out and I'll be the one for whom it does not come back. Very scary.
On a good note, I KNOW that the weight loss is very, very noticable now and I'm having people comment on it quite frequently which is REALLY nice and it makes me feel good. And I wore my first dress without a "W" or an "X" behind the 16 for the first time yesterday! Yippee!!!
Thanks, guys, for listening. No one else care or understands.

OHHHH julie girl am i with you! i woke up cranky and it hasn't changed yet. i am just staying in my office trying to be quiet and work so that i don't snap an innocent persons head off cause then i would have to apologize and would feel so bad.
the scale has not moved for me in about 3 weeks. i tend to go in a cycle of big loss and then for the next few weeks nothing!!! I have promised myself all along that i will NOT i repeat NOT become addicted to the scales so i only weigh on monday mornings. Yet i am becoming concerned about not eating enough, eating too much....just a little obsessed. I have tried using fitday and trust me i know i am not the only busy person in the world but i am busyyyyyyy and i just have not been consistent with it. Plus i get pissy when something i have eaten isn't in there or i can't find it and then i have to create it....blahhhhhhh can you tell i am a grouch!!!
as you stated. thanks for listening to me vent. kelly
I seriously doubt if you're a grouch...but I do understand feeling blahhhhhhhhhh.
I live and die by Fitday. I get panicky if I can't get to a computer to post. It IS a little touchy to find the right foods, but once you find them, its not bad. I have a very long list of custom foods that I've put into it and if it's a combination type thing, I just list each ingredient separately and estimate the amounts. It keeps me very honest and helps me ensure I get in enough protein.
I wish I had your willpower to stay off the scales, but I'm an every morning weigher. I may have to work hard to change that.
Girl, I know how you are feeling. I went through the same feelings a couple of weeks ago. I hate that my moods are tied to my darned scale. I think that I have been eating a whole lot more lately and I have seen a steady weight loss of 3lbs a week for the past month. Maybe you need to eat more and enjoy yourself. LOL
Congratulations on the dress size. I was surprised when I was able to button up a 12/14 top at WM this past friday. It was a little snug on the button across my hips, but it fit through the chest and shoulders, so the weight is coming off, maybe not lbs, but definitely inches.
We all know what you are going through.

BTW you are getting so close to the 50lb club. I hope to be there in about two weeks. 
pssssttt....julie, just checking back in to see if the blues have passed. i took a nap at lunch and woke up feeling great. i still have some days where i have no energy so maybe that was my grouchiness...well that and the fact that my blind date from a week ago called and we are going on our 3rd,,,yes i said 3rd date this weekend!!!hehehehhe 
Wow! Congratulations! He must be very nice or very cute or very something if he deserves a 3rd date; I hope he's all of them!
Yeah, I feel alot better. I went to lunch with some women that my husband works with and they were all shocked to see how much weight I've lost and they fussed enough to make me feel good for at least another week.
Onward & upward!
