Not so sure how I'll fare @ weigh. Figures....it's my TOM. So i'm sure you all know how the weight fluctuates during that time. Not to mention, for me personally, I'm like a human garbage disosal during this time. I'm just constantly hungry. Doing what i can to ignore my stomach since I am eating. Trying to drink extra water to silence some of those pangs!! UGH!!!!

Hope the rest of you are having a good week! Good luck during the weekend!

Thanks for following up on me...I'll book mark the thread. I wrote a blog this a.m. about my 9 day plateau so check out my thoughts:

I'm 5' 7.5"
Oct. 8th 168.5
Oct. 15th 164.5
Oct. 22nd 164.5

I'm averaging 1400 calories a day and 200 calories burned in strenuous exercise or strength training. We still have a few days before the cut off, hope the effort will show up in time!! ;D

Plateau broke this a.m. and I'm down a pound...will report again on the 25th!

spellbinder25

sas...i know we all tend to eat more at TOM but whatever you eat try & eat healthy for the most part & you'll be fine..

good luck for the weekend every1.....time of the week when we need to be careful!!

sas16

Thanks, Spellbinder....been trying to do just that. And still up my water! We'll see how I did when I jump on the scale tomorrow!

Fell short of the 2 pound goal. I've lost 1 momre pound for a total of 1.5 pounds as of today. But - eh.. once again, I'll take any loss and count it a win :-)

funnygirl0940

tomorrow's the big weigh in!! I'm hoping for the best...hard to say because we had chicken from the chicken stand and it's saltier than what I cook...all I can say is that I tried...now off to sleep & reporting in the a.m.

I'm 5' 7.5"
original start weight Oct. 10th 168.5
start weight for challenge Oct. 14th 164.5

Oct. 25th 162.5 - total loss in 2 weeks and a day 6 pounds

I did it! I got the 2 pounds and no more, even though I wish it were But hey, it's a guessing game with our bodies...eventually they do catch up to us after we've done the work

spellbinder25

Good Morning....

sas16

Good morning ladies! Congrats to all of you on your losses. That's awesome! I'm also happy to report that I reached my goal. I wanted to break out of the 150s (plateaued for a bit)...and I DID!!! FINALLY!! At start of the challenge my weight was 152.8. I weighed in this morning at 148.8!! So happy!! Now...just have to keep it going!! Thanks to all for the motivation!

GRRRRREAT WORK Spellbinder, sas16, funnygirl, and selkieghost, you all did awesome :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

As for me, I gained a pound over the weekend, so instead of my so I am at 158.5 lbs now but I will blame it on the my TOM for that one pound and be happy with my "still-not-so-bad" three pound weight loss. (to be honest, I wasnt really expecting to lose even that much). But I am thankful for and happy with what I could accomplish.

Once my TOM is over, I want to participate in another minigoal of 2 more pounds (wishing any of you can start it) because I know for me, baby-steps is the only way to go......

Thank you guys for ALL of your support!

I will do an updated chart once all our members are done posting.

Count me in for a new mini goal as well!

SelkieGhost

I'd be in favor of actually just continuing on this thread - that way none of us get lost and miss out on the updating and accountability :-)

spellbinder25

sure we can continue on this one itself...

so when do we start & what's our goal? my suggestion would be to start on 11/1 and end on 11/15. we can again decide how much each one of us wants to lose in the 2 week duration and how about come up with another goal along with that?

Well I ended up getting a very nasty flu on Sunday! I haven't been this sick since I was a kid. I'm sure I've reached my mini goal, but this isn't really the way I wanted to do it. :frown:
