    Today: 178
    Last week: 180.5

    2.5 lbs down despite hormonal water retention, in the 170s (!), a round 20 lbs down since Jan 1, 1 lb away from having lost 50 lbs since starting the weight loss, and a bit over 2 away from being simply overweight. It's part of the life changes, I hope! What I'm not so happy with is the fitness goals. More on that in the other thread.
    Girls, I am really struggling. I was up a little this morning, I think like 0.4. I'm going to wait until the morning to post my official weigh in because I had a really tough workout yesterday and I don't really like to workout the day before I weigh in, but that is when my scheduled run is for C25K. I feel like I am spinning my wheels. I've been bouncing back and forth between 189-190ish. Since the beginning of January I have lost less than 4 lbs. :sad: What do I need to do to see some decent losses? I'm starting to get aggravated that my efforts are not showing on the scale. On one good note, I did run for a total of 16 minutes yesterday (although not at once. I run intervals). I nearly died and thought I was going to have a biggest loser moment and hurl.

    Oh, dear, BUT: hang in there! You're seriously working on your fitness and it *will* pay off. I'm on the one hand thrilled about how my weight is coming off but also envious of those who've worked up to real gains in running fitness. I'm reading many times over, and have seen it happen for myself, that if you step up your physical activity to that degree, weight loss per se may be reduced. You may still be getting leaner, if you're eating right. Are you measuring? (And if you're really unhappy, in your place I'd certainly give the eating part a good troubleshooting session rather than the exercising part, where you're doing absolutely impressively well!)

    CW: 196.5


    I'm 196.5, down 1.7 lbs from last week. I got on the scale this morning and when I saw that number I thought it was wrong because I couldn't believe it. I've reached my 10lb goal and I'm happy about that.

    Congrats to all the losses and to those that are not seeing the results they want, don't give up! It is so worth the fight!

    Hello Snowflakers (soon to be sunshiners)
    Im down to 179.2 today
    That's a 2.8 from last week

    I'm not really sure what happened (I'm not really complaining) but I'm all set to lose 1.5 to 2.0lbs the MOST per week.
    I got really sick last week (resp infection),:sick: went to a friends house for dinner last Saturday (ate over my daily intake allowance :cry: but didn't binge or overate) and TOM is late:angry: , so the only explanation is the zig zag calories and my sleep pattern since I slept a little bit more (because I was sick):huh:

    I'm very happy I'm out of the 80's and now in the 70's and I passed the half way mark to lose 50lbs total but right now I'm trying to stabilize the weight lost to 1.5 to 2lbs the most

    I'm trying to buy a Bodymedia monitor but $$ is short this week again:sad:
    so hopefully for next week

    Anyway, we are all working very hard and deserve to feel good about ourselves
    Thanks again to Kris for putting together this challenge
    Wish you all a great week again:flowerforyou: :heart:

    Wow! Congrats to all those that had big loss this week and those with one pound or under, continue to celebrate the small victories. This week, I finally broke out of my 3 week funk.
    LW:179
    CW: 177.2

    I'm sooo happy! *doing a happy dance*

    I changed mfp number and it says 2.8 loss because for some reason, my last weigh in said 180 and not 179.

    Loss of 3.6 pounds! Last week, I'd had a gain of 2.8, so I'm really glad to have lost that and then some!!! :smile:

    You almost don't mind so much that way!! Congrats!! :wink:

    Last week: 166.8
    Today: 164.0
    So excited to have seen the scale go down the last several days. It's so weird that my losses aren't gradual, for the most part. I will maintain, even gain a little, then suddenly drop. I lost 2 pounds in the last 2 days! I'm not complaining, it's just strange.

    Right there with ya! I seem to have maybe a 1/2lb or 1 lb loss and then 3-4 the next week. just odd...

    down .5 lbs this week- which is not suprising since last week I lost 4 lbs. Still I'm feeling great that things keep going down and yesterday I successfully ran 2.5 miles without stopping!

    SW: 246
    CW: 224

    Down 22lbs so far! 18 to go!

    Awesome! I ran 2 miles without stopping on Wednesday and was stunned! haven't been able to do that in YEARS! Good for you!!!

    Do not eat while watching tv, no eating past 9 o'clock.
    Only have 3 servings of bread for the entire week.
    Take multivitamin daily.

    Aaaaaargh! Last week I was 195.8 and today I weighed in at 198 for a gain of 2.2 pounds. What the heck is going on? I am losing inches (I measure once each month) but this is really frustrating me. I have an appointment with a dietitian on the 29th but how much weight will I gain before then? Sorry guys...I'm just really frustrated.

    My plan of attack this week... watch the sodium, keep drinking water and keep busting my butt at the gym. I don't know what else to do.

    To all those that had losses, congratulations!

    I maintained this week but that seems to happen every time I try to exercise more. Then it starts coming back off. So I will just take it and next week I will have a big number lol

    Congrats to everyone :)
