That is a nice surprise, especially considering Valentines and my birthday! Does anyone else get that jolt of happiness when they drop to a new number. I'm used to it bouncing around a lot so when it drops to a new low... what a rush! lol! 1 week to go and 6 lb to goal weight. Probably not going to happen. That's fine. My goal was overly ambitious, for my general rate of loss. I'm just happy the scale is not bouncing back up over 240 anymore.0 -

Well, this was a rough week. My medicine for swelling was cut in half - which is blood pressure medicine. I've started swelling again, ERRRR. But my BP was so low it wasnt good. So, the swelling should go away with this wieght loss. Plus, I wasnt as good at following the UofM plan like I was the frist 2 weeks. I'm back on track and hoping things get back to 'normal'0 -
I just want to throw in some perspective. I'm seeing a lot of comments about not making goal this month. These things happen to all of us. It just looks like this month it may be happening to MORE of us than in the past.
The important thing is you have KEPT GOING. You have continued to work your programs and whether it is reflected on that nasty piece of equipment known as a scale is of minimal importance.
I have known those who disappear when things get rough. None of us feel like posting when we hit these down times, but in some ways it is more important than ever. Kind of the "Fake it until you Make it" mentality that will carry you through.
So, if you are still here and posting during these tough times, kudos to you! If you are still powering on even though you aren't making this arbitrary goal we set for ourselves, an even bigger kudos.
Remember, the only way to fail is to quit working the program.
Good fortune to us all.0 -

Hate posting an increase but I am good with the numbers. I started back on my treadmill this week and I still think I can pull off my goal for the end of the month. And for a NSV this week I was able to pull out some smaller clothes out of the suitcase and today I am wearing a huge smile to go with my smaller jeans and shirt.

Well, this month is going to be chalked up to "sometimes the formula just doesn't work". Been hitting the gym regularly, working with the trainer, and staying under my calories, yet it's been the slowest loss month thus far. No matter, gotta keep on keepin' on and next month will be better :-)

I wish I could report in today (mine's Sunday) . I had a good weight loss so far this week but I have 3 meals to go. I guess that is incentive not to screw up the whole week with a few weekend meals.0

Impulse buy yesterday: honey roasted cashews. Ate half (4 servings) last night and finished it off this morning. Willing to bet my weight doesn't get any lower this month.
Must go for a lonnnnng walk now.
Looking forward to seeing your numbers tomorrow, Chuck. Accountability is so helpful, isn't it? !

2/2/14= 264 (down 2)

2/16/14= 261 (down 5 from CW) made my goal weight for this
2/23/14= 262 (down 4 from CW)
How disappointing. I retained two pounds of water with my fries last night and screwed up the whole week. This means I didn’t make my weight for the challenge. I am pi$$ed, only not two pounds worth.

Chuck,
Still most of a week left in the month. Make your final WI on Saturday, then start March with a WI on Sunday? Just a thought. Sodium happens, and usually at the wrong time for scale work.0 -
cdward59,
I like your idea. I'll do it!

Bummer, but admittedly I did very poorly with tracking last week. Plus it's my ToM, so I'm sure that doesn't help. Just have to get back into this and hope for a good number next week.0 -

A couple of days late weighing in because I've been sick (still am). Haven't done much except sleep since Saturday night. I'm glad that at least by this point I'm under what I was at the beginning of the month, LOL. Will check back at the end of a month for my final weigh in, though I doubt I'm going to drop almost 5 pounds in 3 days.0 -

2/12/14= 235.5 (-1.1 pounds)
2/19/14= 234.2 (-1.3 pounds)
2/26/14= 232.0 (-2.2 pounds) something is wonky! MFP said I lost 1.4 but my math here says 2.2...wonder if I weighed mid-week and forgot?? Seems unlikely, but I suppose I could have.0 -
I always list the last weight of the previous month as the first weight of the new month. That way there is no interruption in the flow.
If you end one month on Saturday, and start the next one on Sunday, wouldn't you lose any change that happened Sunday morning? Or am I missing something? (Always a distinct possibility.)0
