I think DoF is saying she's down since the beginning of March. Way to go!
That would be accurate. I've lost 8 pounds since March 6th. 
It's exciting...just hope the scale keeps moving in the right direction...

Oh, congratulations, newmommy! Yes, I'd say it is. But don't stroll -- stride briskly! And use your arms too.

Walking works at first. But it depends on if you have a lot of weight to lose or just a little. I have to walk for more than the 30 minutes a day since I am a smaller person. (you only burn around 100 calories per mile - a slow walk is only 3 mph or a mile in 20 minutes)

My sis, her 3 kids, and my mother were all at my house for the week leading up to Easter and then, of course, Easter day. My sister is thin and can eat whatever she wants, which she does, and my mother simply could care less and also eats whatever she wants. It drives me bonkers. I am sure I gained several pounds, as my jeans were too tight this morning. Ugh.
Oh well, it's back on the wagon today and so far, so good. I spent at least 3 hours cleaning my house top to bottom today so I am sure that counts as exercise - WHEW! I bought a double stroller today so I can go walking tomorrow. I'm excited!

Those double strollers are heavy if you have to go up and down any hills. You will get some muscles. I always get passed by people running with those jogging strollers and they are running way faster than me.

This one isn't one of those jogging strollers (I'd love one, though!) and you're right, it's PLENTY heavy. It took up the whole back cargo space in my car. I'm glad it was cheap on Craigslist, because new they are just way too expensive!
I had one before, back when my middle two were babies, and it definitely built some muscles. This time, I'll be carting around my 10-month old and a 13-week old I babysit. We have plenty of hills around my neighborhood, so I'm sure to be out of breath right away. I can't wait!

Yep, I was right. I gained 10 pounds out of the 20 pounds I had lost last year. I have a plan to release (thinwithin lingo) again. 500 calories less per day for a total of 1 pound per week. Walking more and eating less should do the trick.

Well, I'm eating less but my body has so not figured out that it doesn't need the extra food. I'm starting to think that my body still hasn't quite figured out it isn't pregnant anymore; since my miscarriage was induced that wouldn't surprise me. I'm just hungry all the time; I'm following WW and everything I'm eating is healthy and nutritious and filling, but I am still so hungry. I just don't get it. I've done WW before but the learning curve wasn't nearly this still the last time around.

Just got back from a wedding and a week long car ride. Did not do well. I've probably gained 5-7lb this month which is odd for me.
However it did make me get over my stalemate. I don't mind the actual weight loss process much, but I do hate the feelings of body-loathing, fear, and stress that come with it.
So I decided to make mini-week goals.
I'm going to make a meal plan for the week.
Make a list of healthy foods for snacking.
Take the dog on 2-3 walks a day.
Try to get to sleep at a decent hour.

I went down a pound or two but hope to continue that trend. If the weather is nice I will take a short walk at lunch and after work. I go to different parks on the weekend so I don't get bored.
Rainy days or 2-3 times a week I will go to the gym and do weights or the yoga class.

I weigh myself every Thursday at the vet clinic I work at. I started seriously into my low carb diet on Monday and then weighed myself Thursday. After receiving the bad news at the doctor's office on Wednesday, I was a little afraid to see what my weight was. But... I lost 9 pounds last week!!!!!
I went into Kohl's today to see if I could find a black skirt. Now, I am not the type of woman that can be found shopping for clothes all the time. I always feel so bad after I have tried on things and had them not fit, that I rarely go clothing shopping for myself. But when I walked in there today, I saw lots of cute blouses in the misses section and decided I would try a couple on just to see. They all fit!!!!!!!!!!! Now this is a big one for me because I had been wearing 2X. These blouses I tried on were XL!!!!!! In fact, I tried on about a dozen blouses and 2 dresses, all XL, and every one of them fit perfectly!!! I am extatic!!!

Congratulations, Jess! That is a goal of mine (to get out of the plus size clothing).

Good for you! I was so excited when I hit that point too. Although for me it was a mixed blessing; I was a perfect size when I was overweight (ie everything fit in all the right places) but once I got below a certain point, nothing fit properly. Everything was too small in the bust or too big in the waist (or both). Now that I'm overweight again everything fits... count your blessings I guess!

This is the exact same problem I have always had when I am "thinner". I think my proportions are just right when I am overweight, but when I lose weight it seems that some places shrink much slower than other places, and some places don't shrink at all :(

well I come in here to praise. I'm not sure what the scales are saying, but I tried on my wedding dress and for the first time I was able to zip it up the entire way! (for those who don't know - when I first tried on the dress in January I was trying on dresses two sizes bigger. When I went back to the dress a few weeks later I had fit into the next size smaller, and so I ordered it another size smaller in faith).
I still need to lose a little more so I can "breathe" in the dress, but I have three months left until the wedding. The goal is to lose enough to fit into the dress, but not enough to need alterations. As it stands, the ONLY alteration I'll need is a bustle for the reception. The length is perfect (yay for being tall - no heels for this dress!)
I haven't been "dieting" in recent weeks...mostly watching portion controls. I've also been working on the house, moving stuff out and such. I haven't "suffered" yet. I still eat my sweets but I make sure everything else is healthy or smaller portioned.

I did eat more than my WW allotment, but I probably ate far less than I had been eating in my no-holds-barred emotional eating phase. 
but because I can't eat chocolate, mine is pretty small. 
It's been tougher than I expected to get back into working out; it's been 2 1/2 months but my energy levels are still pretty low. Probably because I haven't been working out!
