Oh my word I've neglected this thread! So sorry! I purposely ignored last week's weigh in because it was TOM and I was bloated to the hills! But no excuse for missing this Wednesday except I am a little distracted in life right now after starting my new job this week. But... here we go:

12/15 (166.8) ~ 168.2 (+.4)
12/23 (166.6) ~ 165.0 (-3.2)
12/29 (165.8) ~ 161.2 (-3.8)
01/05 (164.8) ~ 164.6 (+3.4)
01/12 (163.8) ~ 164.0 (-0.6)
01/19 (162.8) ~ 163.6 (-0.4)
01/26 (161.8) ~ missed
02/05 (160.8) ~ 160.0 (-3.6)
02/09 (159.8) ~
02/16 (158.8) ~

Two more weeks, two more pounds!!! I just found one of those Walk Away the Pounds dvds for $5. Putting it on right away and will "walk" for 30 minutes after my hour long walk I did outside this morning!

Happy Weekend!!

YAY! I ran my 1st 5k race this morning. I finished in 30 mins 3 secs. It wasnt too bad but that cold air, fog, inclines and a couple of stomach cramps had me thinking I wasnt going to be able to run the entire time. However, I just kept telling myself to push through it and I did!

anybody do the weekend challenge? i did! getting the calorie info was much easier than i thought it would be. (if only the calorie count was in the menu so you didin't need to ask!) outback steakhouse has several reasonable entrees.

Not much of a loss this week, but TOM is in town so I'll take it! Plus, I've hit my V-Day goal with a week to spare!

I see a breakthrough coming on. You are a fantastic role model for all of us wana-Bs. How you can even maintain so close to your goal after Superbowl weekend is great. My bet is next week you'll bust through the 122s on your way down to the one-teens.

Down .4 and I'm still pretty happy about that. I'd like to be under 144 for the end of the challenge so hopefully I'll remember that when I want ooey gooey goodness on Valentines day.

Are we going to continue on and do another challenge? How about one that goes until Easter? By Easter I just might reach my 138lbs hehe :0

tatiana_13

The scale has been moving in fits and starts, but its moving. Like a glacier...


I am possibly down 0.2 pounds...which, as we all know, is so small as to be completely meaningless. But hey. It hasn't gone up, eh? eh? I don't have the patience to measure inches, but I swear my jeans fit better this week. So, perhaps there has been some improvement, somewhere...which is good. Because unless some weight loss fairy comes out of the stratosphere in the next few days, there is no way I'm even going to come close to my Valentine's day challenge goal. So I have to find success where I can find it!

I have been starving for the last couple of days and have been eating junk food. I am going to weigh in on Friday becuase I think TOM is comming for a visit, and to give my body sometime to flush out the junk.
