Hey everyone! New Friday Weigh Ins instead of Wednesday, still the same format! I think I will make a topic just for challenges as well :-)
Name: Julie
Age: 30
Starting weight: 245 lbs (heaviest 267)
Last weeks weight: 231.6
This weeks weight: 231.6
Total loss: 13.4 lbs
Goal Weight 165 lbs
What can I do to improve: I need to get back into exercise and get to checking in on the group like I was before. That's what works, and that's what I need to do. There's been a lot of crap food the past two weeks as well, so I gotta get back on track with that as well.

Age 33
Starting weight 280 (high of 310)
Last week's weight: 263.6 (on 10/9)
This week's weight: 258.8 - 4.8 lbs???
Total weight loss: 21.2 since 8/28 (51.2 total)
What can I do to improve: Gym, gym, gym and water.
What has helped: I have been cooking a lot of soup lately! They tend to be really filling, and I pack them with veggies, but the calorie count tends to be really low. So having a slice of bread with it, or a couple extra snacks during the day, doesn't hurt.0 -

Total loss: 14 lbs
Goal Weight 165 lbs
What can I do to improve: did better with getting on the stationary bike and crunches, but not as many days as the challenge was. I also feel like to need to shuffle my calories around, my breakfast and lunch with snacks is around 500-600 total, then dinner is amped up. I want to even it out more. I need to get more sleep too, when I do that more weight comes off.0 -

What can I do to improve: Woo! Yay! 2 lbs, as with last months I didn't think I'd see this b/c it was that time of the month but my body finally let go of the water weight from bloating and there I am! 2 lbs down. Getting on the stationary bike and walking really made such a difference. Walk with my daughter in her carriage adds for extra weight to push up hills and have to hold on steep declines, so I need to keep moving to see the results.0 -
11/1. Sorry I missed last week, I was sick as a dog, and I'd taken a bad fall to boot.

Last week's weight: 256.8
This week's weight: 254
Total weight loss: 26 lb since 8/28 (56 total)
What can I do to improve: Today was my first day back in the gym in 2 weeks because I took a fall that really messed up my knee and hip, on top of the aforementioned cold. So, I'm happy to see progress even with the lack of real exercise. Halloween candy is evil! I need to up my water intake, too. Today was especially tough. I just felt like snacking all day, and the calories add up pretty quick.0 -

What can I do to improve: damn that Halloween candy! I did not eat well this week. I gotta get back on track. This week I will be on vacation so I will be moving a lot more with my daughter and I'm gonna bang out a long of yard work and decorating outside for Christmas (don't worry, I'm not going to turn everything on). It's just going to be so warm I gotta do it now when I won't freeze my fingers off. I also need to get on the stationary bike more. I thought I was going to have a gain, one night on that and I was back at 227. So, yah, moving makes it happen.0 -

Name: Julie
Age: 30
Starting weight: 245 lbs (heaviest 267)
Last weeks weight: 227
This weeks weight: 226 (yay, got over 3 plateau, I have one every month)
Total loss: 19 lbs
Goal Weight 165 lbs (62 more to go!!!)
What can I do to improve: Well this week has been less than stellar eating wise because of being on vacation, eating more than usual, and not being able to exercise as much because of family being up. But, I did have a loss and that's great! It probably could have been 2 lbs if I had been a little more diligent. But today I'm back on track b/c it's the last day they are here! Also, my arthritis has been acting up. I've been trying to stay ahead of the pain with ibuprofen, but it's just barely touching it. I also have a shiatsu massager that I've been sitting in to try to help. But despite the pain, I did notice that it's just in my lower back, where before it was going from mid back to lower, a sure sign I've lost weight around my middle! I def need to update my measurements today too.
Actually that gives me an idea! Look in the message boards for a new subject!0 -

Age 24
Starting weight 230
Last Weeks weight: 217.6
This weeks weight: 216.8
Total loss: 13.2 lbs
Goal weight 165
What I can do to improve: I ate dinner rather late last night and a couple other nights this week due to my work schedule and my boyfriends schedule. I really think I should be trying to get dinner in before 10pm (2am is just too late for a full meal cause it sits in the belly and doesnt burn off right, in my opinion). I also ate out fast food a few times (large fries at 1am is also not wise). I need to cut back on soda again and go for that water more often. Maybe cram a few more veggies and a bit less starch in too.
*EDIT* I just realized we weigh in the day AFTER Thanksgiving next week. >.< I will have to cut back on deviled eggs... usually I eat 10 of them, but I cant do that this year! I do not want my scale to reflect 5 lbs of feasting the next morning hahaha!0 -

Went heavier on protein to gain muscle. Plus last week i did 300 miles biking in 3 days so was more cardio then weight training for my muscles. :P I look at i still lost even though it doesnt show on the scale. 0 -

Name: Butterfly
Age: 38
Starting weight: 347
Last week's weight: 276.4
This week's weight: 270.8
Weight loss so far: 76.2 lbs
What can I do to improve?: I could add just a bit more exercise (other than just a short afternoon walk). All too many days I find myself too tired to get up early or exercise in the evenings. In fact, I think I'm going to play Zumba Wii instead of just thinking about it. 0 -
Hi Butterfly! Welcome to the group!!0

Name: Julie
Age: 30
Starting weight: 245 lbs (heaviest 267)
Last weeks weight: 226
This weeks weight: 226 (stayed the same despite Thanksgiving and having my period, wow!)
Total loss: 19 lbs
Goal Weight 165 lbs (62 more to go!!!)
What can I do to improve: well I've really been slacking on the challenged, I really have to stop that. I know calorie counting is part of the solution, but over time my body starts to adjust to the lower cals and I hit plateaus. That's where exercise has always triumphed, so I have to stop being lazy! Welp, tomorrow I will be busting my BUTT putting up Christmas decorations inside and outside of the house so I know I'll be starting off this new week on the right foot!0 -
Name: Heather
Age: 24
Starting weight: 230
Last weeks weight: 215.8
This weeks weight: 215.2
Total loss: 14.8
Goal Weight 165 lbs
What can I do to improve: I need to make sure I do the challenge every day. No more slacking there. And I think I need to actually up my calorie intake because I have been having big deficits and I do not like the idea of "starvation mode". I also need to try for less sodium and more water. I actually gained 1.7 lb of water weight the week of thanksgiving (which is why I did not log weight last friday). It was all the ham I had been eating. Oops

Goal Weight 140 so close
What can I do to improve: Going to go on a diet now and see if it helps. Will be starting tomorrow and keep going till hubby gets here(whenever that is) so hopefully i can get under 140 finally. Im stuck again. Happened when I was trying to get under 150 too. Plus need to change my workouts. Need to stop biking so much but cant till I make 2,000 miles this month and I know I cant do it walking or running. As soon as I get that I will change my working out completely. Plus I will only workout for like 2 hours while hubby is here so I have time to spend with him but Ill be doing HITT workouts so I can burn max calories.0 -

Name: Julie
Age: 30
Starting weight: 245 lbs (heaviest 267)
Last weeks weight: 226
This weeks weight: 225 (ya, 1 pound, no more plateau!)
Total loss: 20 lbs
Goal Weight 165 lbs
What can I do to improve: well I've noticed that when I walk more I tend to lose. I'm missing the day light when I come home b/c of the winter so I really need to get on my stationary bike. The challenge has been really challenging for me but I'm going to struggle through it because I know I can. Also now that I am down another 10 lbs my calorie goals have been adjusted so....less cals for me!!
I have a mini goal to be 25 total lbs by Christmas, I'm not sure if I can make it, but I'm going to come damn close0 -
Excellent losses everyone!!0

Name: Julie
Age: 30
Starting weight:245 (heaviest 267)
Last weeks weight: 225
This weeks weight: 224
Total loss: 21 pounds
Goal Weight 165, and then we'll see from there!
What can I do to improve: Well this week sucked but my neck and back put me out of commission. I had a huge water weight gain the beginning of the week and was topping the scale at 230, I nearly DIED seeing that. I"m glad it all came off doing light exercise and being very careful about what I eat. I think sometimes I may over estimate or under estimate how much I'm eating. I think I might invest in a scale. Hoping my bones will work with me to get on track so I can keep losing (still had a loss yay!) Because they will feel better after this weight is gone. I also need to use my skin firming cream daily now, the skin on my lower belly (biggest problem area) is getting very saggy. I'm concerned that I might night surgery if it doesn't rebound, we'll see. When I woke up this morning I was thinking about my new year goals, I want to be in ONEDERLAND by the end of my birthday month (March). That'd be 25 more pounds from now until then, I'm hoping I can get there!!0 -
Name: Julie
Age: 30
Starting weight:245 (heaviest 267)
Last weeks weight: 224
This weeks weight: 223 (yay, another lb)
Total loss: 22 pounds (I'm soooo close to my goal for Christmas of 25 lbs, I don't know if I'll make it, we'll see, but I'm proud of what I've done so far)
Goal Weight 165, and then we'll see from there!
What can I do to improve: well, the holidays are coming up, I need to NOT stress eat (one of my biggest down falls). Also I will be home for 6 days for vacation so I need to make sure to drink lots of water and not over eat. 1 lb is definitely fine with me. I feel like it's getting harder and harder to lose but it's still happening so I'm not complaining! My stationary bike is covered in presents right now so I need to stay busy cleaning/organizing/going for walks until after Christmas when it will be freed up again. I want to actually do the 8 week challenge that's on it and see how that goes. Just gotta keep logging, stay focused, and not revert to old habits0 -

This weeks weight: 221 (then went back up to 224 from Christmas/period)
Total loss: 24 pounds (I was 1 lb from my goal for Christmas! I was very proud, I'm kinda mad about the gain, but I will get rid of it by next weigh in so I'm NOT changing my weight, lol)
Goal Weight 165, and then we'll see from there!
What can I do to improve: Get back on track from "holiday" eating. I've gotta go shopping today so that'll help me with eating better. I'm also thinking about starting to have a shake for breakfast (so then I get my yogurt in) and then doing a fruit with lunch instead. I think have some more cals in the morning will be helpful to switch things around.0 -

What can I do to improve: welp, I need to exercise, I've been a huge slacker! There is a new Wii Fit that came out and there is a free trial for a month. I think I'm going to download it and start tonight. Even though I'm a little stuck right now, I still feel good about myself and where I am at weight wise, size wise, and eating. I just need to not have so much CANDY! I totally splurged yesterday.0 -

I have a plan to start my stationary bikes 8 week weight loss plan :-) Also now that I lost another 10 lbs my calorie intake readjusted yesterday, it was the least drastic drop yet, thank god!
