    Today's weight: 198.5 (lost 1/2 pound in first 3 days - is that good?) :ohwell:
    L-D Goal: 185
    Lbs/wk: around 2
    Final Goal: 144

    I'm down to 193.5 so I've lost 5 (so proud of myself!) :bigsmile:

    Ha! I am under 130 for the first time today! 129.6.

    I know that inches, not pounds are the way to do things, but it was still nice seeing that number on the scale!! :happy:

    I really just want to keep this up for when I go home next week!!

    I know I'm starting this late but I need something to motivate me. Labor day is what 4 or 5 weeks away? I'll try it.

    Start weight 205 a year ago

    Current weight 161:sad:

    Goal weight 150

    Weight to lose by Labor day, let's be realistic at 1 lb a week,so 5 lbs, I would be happy if I could get there.:smile: Tomorrow I will weigh in and take measurements again. Wish me luck

    6.5 weeks left
    13.9 lbs to lose
    lbs per week left: 2.13 per week
    STILL ON TRACK

    Update, 3 weeks in. My current weight is 175.3, so I am down 8.3 lbs total.

    So 5.5 weeks left
    So 10.3 LBs left to lose
    Lbs per week 1.87
    STILL ON TRACK.

    That was my weight this morning too, :sad: , yeaterday it was 174.9. oh well. Behind a week. I was so sick though i did not really make it into the gym.

    Another week behind. I was down to 173.7 but am back up to 174.3 so I am maintaining. I have been eating ok, most days are under the calories though, who knows. I have went to the gym 3 times but was just doing the treadmill maybe I need to up it. I don't know.Anyways another week down, atleast I am not gaining.
    So 3.5 weeks left. Going with the 173.7 I have 8.7 lbs left to lose. Which is 2.48 lbs per week. I will be close to my goal but I am not sure if I will make it. I want to do this right, I may try to make it into the gym for the classes instead of the treadmill, that may make a diff.
