Week 5, "H20" Lose 20 Pounds by Halloween Challenge.

AngelDog1

Hi all! Checking in. I am still holding steady at 213 lbs. I haven't lost anything in weeks. But I am losing inches. And that is actually what people see and how clothes feel better, right? So I'm happy about that.... I think. Sorry I didn't report last week. I was out of town on vacation at the beach. Yeah! And I did get daily walks on the beach collecting seashells. Extremely vigorous workouts, huh? Haha....Well at least I didn't gain weight while on vacation!

Been out in and out of town lately but I do have updates....
Went in to Dr's for my follow up and was in total shock! I mean total shock!! I asked his assistant to look again to make sure she was looking at the numbers correctly but there it was...I lost 7 pounds of fat! 3.5 pounds in weight and have brought my BMI from 47.1 down to 43.2. I still wouldnt have believed it if my hubby wasnt in there with me! I just stood there in awe of these numbers...I am like there is no way!! I am only 12.2 pounds away from my Halloween goal! :flowerforyou: I am on the right track and even though I am still in shock I am sooo proud of myself.....Still need encouragement though so please stop by my page and drop me a line

Girl, it's nothing special - we are just attempting to lose 20 lbs by Halloween. We started about 6 weeks ago so if you want to join in you can add what you've lost in the past six weeks to your 20 lbs goal. It's definitely not easy so I feel your pain! If you have any questions or need advice feel free to ask, hun!

Hello everyone, I have not logged in my H20 cuz i forgot how to get back here lol. but ta da i found it. I have not gotten on a scale yet. Im the every 2 or 3 week person type. I dont want to be disapointed and always want to have atleast 1 lb lost lol. I have had some good bye parties and company so for a few days in between the last 2 weeks i ate not so well. But back on the very next day. I have mostly been logging my food and finding amazement in it. Im getting the hang of it. Ive realized how I really do stop myself from eating because i dont want to add it to my calories because its junk and the junk really adds up fast. So for me getting usedto that is good. I also see how i use to just eat alot at night to a real full point right before bed. Always. Now after dinner i log it in and pretty much in my head say no no no more. Its working well and im sure just stopping that habit has done wonders...My clothes are deff loose. I find myself grabbing shirts that i used to just leave on the hanger cuz they are just to tight or show my flab. I wore one the other day and realized man i havent worn this for months and felt good about it. Im waiting for someone to notice my loss other then my friend at work that i work next to. I know that it will take a total of 10lb or 15lbs b4 anyone says anything. Im sure i have lost im guessig 3 maybe more, Its so cool to think i will actually reach 10lbs then im a 3rd to my goal. Its a wonderful site and I thank Tamara for going on TV and i happen to see it. Was very inspiring to me because I only need 30lb off and she had 100's sheesh. I also have a bag of smaller pants i have not parted with cuz there so cute.....and I know a few more months and there mine again lol. Thank you to everyone for all your suggestions and just reading everyones stuff in encouraging. One life saver for me was non fat half and half in my coffee....it taste just like half and half...trader joes brand anyways. Its saved me lots of fat. I love it in starbucks....anyways thank you everyone

Keep up the good work! Congrats on being able to wear clothes that you weren't comfortable wearing before, that is so great.

I think you should hop on the scale, even though you don't really want to, just to be honest with yourself. Y'know? And hey, you may be surprised!

Don't forget, we start a new thread each week. Here's the current Week 7 thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/124507-week-7-h20-lose-20-pounds-by-halloween-challenge
