    4lb weight gain!!!!! Argh!!!!!!!! Hoping it's a combination of water retention (TOM is due, I think) and muscle -building from my Jillian workouts

    Hi. My weight today was 177.4 which means I have lost 2.2lbs during this Challenge. I know others will have done much better but I am very grateful for such a loss. Think I have managed to fool my metabolism as for a while I have only been losing very small amounts (around 0.5lbs) so a 2lbs+ loss is GREAT!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    After having 2 horrible weeks and one more to follow, I'm only down to 199.8.

    My husbands Grandma passed away on the 29th due to a heart attack and just 2 days ago, his Grandpa passed away due to his kidneys failing. At least they weren't apart for long, but it's still hard to deal with back to back.

    Early congrats to the winner. <3

    Hi everyone!

    I started at 190.6 and ended this morning at 188.3. I'm struggling with this set of pounds here -seems I was getting stuck every 10 and now it is every 5. But I'm going to push through this too. I continue to feel better and healthier and stronger-so I should measure that too! :)

    Anyway-lost 2.3lbs....not too bad for me, doesn't make me the winner-but we're still losing! :) can't wait to see more great results ladies.

    Good Morning!

    Well, I started this postcard challenge at 261.8 and this morning I was 256.4! That's a 5.4 loss over the past two weeks.

    I'm finding I have started to drink more water, take my coffee with just Equal, still will eat "dangerous foods" but I am doing so in moderation. I will have a chicken wing or two at the football party, but unlike the past I'll stop at a few not a dozen later! I could never cut certain items out of my diet completely, but I can cut back on them, which is what I'm currently challenging myself to do.

    Also, it's great having a boyfriend that will wake up and meet me at the gym every morning at 5 (Monday - Friday). I have a best friend that doesn't mind going to the gym with me either, so if I have had a rough day on the diet she's ready to go walk an hour with me too. At work, I've coursed out an obstacle course for my lunch hour. It takes about 20 minutes and probably doesn't burn many calories, but gets me moving at least.

    So I'm thinking for myself, it's the beginning of a very long process to loss my desired weight, but I feel good about it. I'm seeing the scale move, seeing the clothes fit looser and noticing my skin is so much softer... the wonder of water! Changing habits, getting more sleep, and learning to celebrate in the small victories and not beat myself up over the small defeats. I'm sure a time will come when I'll have to say good-bye to rice/pasta/bread for a period to get me over a plateau but for know I think I'm right where I need to be for me!

    I hope that everyone else is finding their spot and enjoying the changes you are making in your life as much as I am mine.

    Good Tuesday Everyone!

    I have posted the Postcard Challenge 12 this morning. It will be starting on November 18th (Thursday). Hope everyone can join us again and show off some great numbers (like last time) during the first of the Holiday gatherings.

    Also, on a personal note... Thank you to everyone who congratulated me on my last past two weeks success! I'll be playing along with you on this next one even if my numbers won't count!

    You can find the newest challenge under "Postcard Challenge 12!!! Starting 11/18/10"

    Good luck and can't wait to see those numbers!
