Two weeks away! Here is a bit of an update!
Current weight: 197
Goal weight: 192
Not sure if I'll get there BUT I did lose inches! So far I've lost 3.5 inches off my waist!! That's a big change and I'm very happy about it.
My routine right now is big calories throughout the day so that when I exercise at night, I don't have a ton of calories to eat back late into the evening. That's been helping.
Also I work out for 2 days, then I take one rest day. This week I'm doing Kettlebells for 20 minutes. Next week I'll go back to Zumba. These two routines have been really successful for me.
I'm dealing with TOM right now which is good news because I'll not being dealing with it on my weigh-in date of 11/22. Less water and salt retention to deal with for my official weigh-in :happy:
How is everyone else?

congrats on the inches lost!!! i think that's ultimately more important than losing pounds. especially since recent health studies have said that having a waist size of over X (i think it was 37 inches last i checked?) was more of what caused health issues than pure weight.
i am doing okay, i just changed my goals on the site from lose 1 and a 1/2 pounds a week to losing 1 pound. my recommended calories for the prior one was getting too close to 1200 and it was making me nervous :P i feel like this is a more realistic calorie goal for me to hit week after week. i have to keep reminding myself its not a race to lose weight :P0 -
Wow, interesting statistic about the waist size, Doublex. I think I've heard the same thing.

No change in weight. But I'm seeing the results. My upper chest/body area is looking slimmer AKA I'm losing my boobs. Sigh....
But I'm still hanging at 197. Seems like my weight is as stubborn as me.

Here we are, Thanksgiving week.
I hit 195.6 which is a little over 3 lbs from my goal for Thursday.
A little bummed I couldn't pull it off and get there but I did lose a little in pounds and a lot in inches.
So onto the next goal.
