This challenge ends on a Friday so it makes sense for me to post on Fridays. Let's say I'm 116.5lb (I'll be doing graphs from next week)

Well that's what I thought, since it's ending on a Friday I'll weigh in on Fridays....

 

But it wasn't good,  I'm still the same, no change!  But I haven'T time to exercise.  Just started a new job and I need to find a new routine, so I can exercise.

So next week I'll be better, I promise!!!!

Today's weigh-in: 229.

It was foolish of me not to account for water weight. I probably should readjust my goal. I'll think about it here in a day or two - if anyone objects, just send me a PM.

Downward ho! :cool:

Okay, here's my first weigh in and I'm down to 204 - loss of 3 lbs in one week.  So... let me think about what I did right...

First off I've always recorded what I've been eating, and for the longest time I've been telling myself that it's just so tough to record it all in the "Food Calories and Nutrition Calculator"... but guess what?  When you aren't eating a boat load every day:chewing:, it actually isn't too tough!!!:tongue:

I lowered my calories from about 1700 to an average of 1463 this week.  I'm not a big "aerobic o holic" so my vow was to find something I could do everyday without saying "I'm really not in the mood" - it turns out walking my daughter about 3k to 5k every evening seems to be something I can look forward to.  I got myself a little pulse monitor to make sure I keep my heart rate up above 75% at all times too.  Kinda like walking away from Freddy Krueger.

I also needed a little help with portion control, so I bought a bunch of Lean Cuisines... they are a savior for me in the evenings when I'm making dinner for my otherwise thin family.  They keep the temptation away from snacking on more than I can handle.  In the mornings I have cereal or a poached egg with toast, in the afternoon I have a 6" sandwich modeled after the "Subway" ones, and then my little meal in the evening.  I get a little yogurt or a piece of fruit sometime around 3 when my little mental clock starts telling me "EATING WOULD BE REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW".

So, what did I do wrong... well, onion rings on Thursday (yikes) and a sausage McMuffin yesterday (balloon races - convenience food).  Oh, and two margaritas on Saturday night... when will I learn that those things just set you back?  Still, overall, not a bad week...

Marebear - you post day can be whenever you want.   Mine is Monday, too.  (since the last day is Friday some poeple want to end it right on time - it started on a Monday, that's what I go by.   Either/Any works)

242.  I'm ok with it, I think I had an extended bounce from my vacation.  At any rate, I'm back on track since Saturday so I think next week will be better.
Midge-you're doing great. :grin:

I feel like I am cheating the system for reporting this weeks weight since I have had a stomach bug since Friday and haven't been really able to eat ... but it will be a challenge to see if I can maintain it this week when I can eat again:chewing:

Crimson, sorry for posting late...things got a little crazy over there in the land of the baby powder dust (yes, it's just like that...hard to believe until you see if for yourself-imagine filling your room with a 6 inch layer of baby powder, hiding a bunch of baseballs in the powder, then walking across the room...)

Sunday's weight - 202

One more week and hopefully I'll be under 200 for the first time in many, many years!

Proudly serving, TC

PS-how do we see the posted stats?

Hey, TC!

The stats are posted at the top of each page of this thread.

The date at the top will tell you when the stats were last updated (unless I forget to change it). You can press F5 to see the latest stats, if they've been updated since you entered the thread.

Congrats on your progress! Making it under 200 will be a great milestone. :star:

Thanks for serving. :smile:

Good Morning

Weighing in this morning at 180

Down a little.

This is an awesome bunch of loosers..lol

Lets all keep on loosing. we must remember though that sometimes the body will not let it go until it is ready.  So if one is holding or even gaining it doesn't necessarily mean we are not loosing in the long run.

Cheerio

Absolutely Maggie - I remember someone telling me when I first started working out and dieting that it is even common to gain because you are gaining lean muscle which always weighs more than fat.  This can be discouraging if this is the initial reaction to a new lifestyle.

Weigh in on Saturday, Sept. 6..............180.0 lbs.

That's up from where I started........or sort of.   I used my ending weight from the last challenge.    I know I was up after Labor Day weekend, so I knew I'd have a bit to lose, over and above my goal.   Also, had salty tasting meatloaf on Friday night, and TTOM started.   Next week will be down :cool:

Ok, I wasn't going to join this challenge, but changed my mind. Just maybe I can kick those last few pounds after all.

Starting weight 124lbs. (that's my average right now)

ending weight 120lbs (again)

Going to make weds. my weigh in days and I will be posting my average every time. I don't know if that is necessary now since my weight hasn't been having large swings as it was before. Anyway, its tuesday now. So, I will not be weighing in until next wed.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE......

Sadly, I'm still stuck at 200 pounds this week (I knew I shouldn't have had that Dairy Queen...and McDonalds....and...^_^;). I meant to weigh myself in the morning (before the water weight could really set in, and all), but I didn't have time. Hopefully, this coming week shall be better! I have to go to the gym three days a week to jog and lift weights (twenty minutes each!) for my P.E. class (to think, it's only worth .5 credits, too...), so, yeah... I signed up for it so that I wouldn't have an excuse to not work out, so hopefully I'll have lost a few next week. ^_^

Congratulations to those who have lost, and keep up the good work, everybody! ^_^
