Doing the Spring Fling Challenge helped me loose weight last time so I'm going for it again with this new challenge.   Wish Me Luck!

Starting weight 214.5,current weight 214.5 ,  Goal weight 204.5

 Do you think 10 pounds in 6 weeks is unreasonable? Well, I'm gonna try it and see.

Hey, thanks Hiker! >.< Maybe I should start doing that. The weird thing is, when I feel huge; then I'm down a few pounds, and when I feel like I'm doing really well; I shoot WAY up. :confused:

So, today I weighed myself then had a bit of a :pig:, well, pig out. >.<;; -sigh- I usualy eat more when I'm stressed or sad, I realized. :crying:

Any-who, I'm difinatly 143.

Thanks for the (premature) congratulations. This week I'm checking in at 116.7lb. Does anyone think it might have something with eating twice as much food (by weight)? :tongue:

Hey foco, it does stink at times. Any specific challenge we can help you with? I find that this site has a lot of people willing to help, all of us are going through this together. sometimes we need a pat on the back, sometimes a kick in the butt and sometimes just others to listen so let us know where your struggling (you don't have to be specific, just in general) and I am willing to bet you will get some great ideas.

Don't feel bad, I am struggling as well. I really wanted to have this journey to be done with. But, I am not having any luck at keeping my last few pounds lost, off. Not to mention the other pound, I still have to get rid of.

It does sux..... But, today is a new day and we can do it.....SO HANG IN THERE.....It will get better..

My weight this morning was 170.2. Down from last week, but up from my start weight, still.

I was in denial at the start of this challenge, I blamed my gain on water. But I think the truth is that I was on an upward trend.

If I did not join the challenge, I might have been in trouble!

I am having the same problems. In the first two challenges this year, I lost a total of about 15 pounds, plus put on some nice muscle. It was just too much for me to try and keep it up over the summer, so it is as if I am backtracking a bit.

So I went back to the five times a week workouts and calorie counting. Next week I am adding weight training.

What really sux is that this was all so easy 10 years ago!

Thankx Cportwine!  I had a great time with my family - did lots of walking, but not a lot of strength training - unless you count walking in sand LOL.  End of year camping here means lots of dried up lakes I'm afraid... but that gives my calves a workout.:palms:

P.S. - I love how you interact with everyone here.  Your support is exactly what most of us need!  I appreciate seeing your comments everyday!

You're gonna find that this site and the forums are just the ticket.  We're all going through the same challenges, frustrations and temptations.  We all know what it's like to be overweight and all the difficulty that comes with it. 

We're all friends here and that is great encouragement for each of us.

Stay strong!!

My weight for my first weight-in is ... 160.2 :sad: (up 2.2lbs)

I had a big bag of salty snacks last night before bed so I probably have a ton of water weight. Next Friday my aim is for 156 lbs. Wish me luck.

Nick, I see you're in the lead in the challenge (again - congratulations) with a loss of 6.7% of your initial body weight, and you're hiding this by having the table sorted by '% to Goal' as opposed to '% Body Loss' :smile:

Thanks, Nir!

I did have it sorted by % Body Loss for a while, but now 3 people have met their goals (along with a 4th one who will meet it again, I'm certain :wink:). They set goals, they reached those goals, and they deserve their day in the sun! :cool:

I'll probably switch it back and forth between % to Goal and % Body Loss occasionally, so that all of us can be recognized for the fabulous individuals we are. :wink:

Im a little late, but I'm in.  Sorry for the delay, but my laptop has been sick and I've been broke, which meant no internet for six weeks.

Current weight is 141 and I'd love to be at 126 by the end of October (it's a stretch, but setting my goals higher than I can reach them motivates me).

I'll be weighing in on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, most likely.
