    8th week loss = 5lb

    Best weigh in since being on MFP!! And a great NSV this week - my BMI has moved into 'overweight'. Now to get it into 'healthy'

    aab - congrats on getting into onederland!! 5lbs is so awesome.

    tamelaine - dont worry, i still had you in the chart. i changed your last weight to the one you just gave me and if you want to wait and weigh in for this week tomorrow, thats ok! =)

    hope to see many faces today!

    this week has been good, in that i went clothes shopping for vacation (2 weeks!!) and got some really cute stuff. plus, my older sister had some really nice black tankinis that she is giving me. yay for graduating from one-piece! i finally discovered that is was my sleep that made my weight spike. a few nights of enough rest and my weight was going steadily down to my true current weight. im sitting on about 219-220 right now, which is good, because last week i spiked to 225. i even saw 230 one night... granted i was fully clothed and had eaten and drank loads... :tongue: but it was still a shock to see that number again. ahh!

    Hiya,

    CW 173.4 so another 1lbish down... at least it's going steady (and in the right direction!) :-)

    Hope everyone's having a good weekend.

    i guess my last weight change was faulty because I am back at 145. Im hoping its water weight, but don't worry, i'm already in crack down mode

    So I have been kind of off track as far as tracking what I eat for the past week and a half. Lots going on in my life, and I just haven't been taking the time to log my foods. But there is good news. Apparently I have learned enough on MFP that I am still doing ok. I am weighing in this week at 225lbs. That is 3 pounds down from last weigh in, and that also means that I have lost 40lbs since I started MFP just over 3 months ago.

    Hello everyone :) looks like another held week for me.... I am sad... my dress does not fit still and the wedding it just around the corner... Time to really kick butt.....

    Here's this week's challenges from the main HP thread....
    FOOD CHALLENGE:

    For those of you struggling with meeting your calorie goals each day- try planning out your whole day's worth of meals either the night before or in the morning at least 3 days in a row this week. I suggest logging all of your food you are going to eat for the day when you're planning, but don't hit your green button until the end of each day, and you've double checked what you actually ate matches what you planned (adjust then if necessary). Only eat what you've logged ahead of time, unless you workout and need to eat some exercise calories (if you know about what you're going to burn, you can also plan those calories into your day when you do the rest of your planning, too). Don't be afraid to refer to your plan throughout the day to help remind you what you've allowed yourself and to help you stay on track!

    EXERCISE CHALLENGE:

    It's officially summer! If you can, try to get out and do some kind of activity that reminds you of summer at least once this week, even if it's not strictly exercise-related. Go swimming, lay out in the sun, wear flip flops, have a picnic or a cook-out (grilled veggies are the best!), you get the idea :)

    Have a great Monday, everyone!!!

    Second week in a row with no change for me.
    I've been doing really terrible. I haven't been tracking my food and have been going to the gym less and less.
    I really thought ten pounds was going to be easy for this challenge (I thought I'd be there already). Gonna really have to work my *kitten* off this week!

    I've felt no motivation to actually hit the gym but I attempting to make up for it by walking more and for about half the week I was burning 800 Calories or so my hrm says just walking a day.
    My Boyfriend is on Nights so I don't need to Cook for him and i had no motivation to cook for myself so I wasn't eating the healthiest and it's that time of the month so I am crabby and just plain grumpy and i ended up giving into chocolate creme pie that made me much more friendly to my fellow workers for a bit.
    Even though it's been a horrible week, I had thought it would go up but my weight has remained the same. 210.

    Hello!

    I'm new here and eager to lose weight while having some fun! I'm also pretty excited about the new HP movie!! (17 days and counting!) I'm currently 183 lbs and want to get back down to 130. I haven't had any success for the past year. I've revamped my diet, exercise 4 times a week and take a multi vitamin. Any suggestions??

    I'm at 266 this week. Just 1lb to my goal weight for the challenge! This weekend was not the greatest: my brother and in-laws came down for my other brother's birthday, combined with Canada day and birthday parties... But my work schedule goes back to somewhat normal this week so I'll have more time for me to exercise

    great job everyone!

    got a little visit from TOM friday morning. im both annoyed and happy about it LOL. annoyed because, well, its blegh as you know. my weight went up like 3 pounds. but im happy because i was PRAYING for it to come so that i could be certain it wouldnt show up when im on my vacation next week! im so excited to go to Florida. ive got some cute clothes for it. and a SKIRT. :happy: plus, i think i talked my mum into us going to Harry Potter world on the 15th. itll be crazy there! plus, who knows, there may be some famous faces :tongue:

    its gonna be a busy week, getting packing sorted and what not. next sunday my flight is at 11am GMT. the airport is nearly an hours drive, so i will be on the go from early morning and i will not get a chance to get on here.

    i just rechecked the thread - ive asked before for some help for the next weighins. katrob and aab, are you still available?

    Sunday will be just a normal weighin. either i can walk either of you two through setting up the excel spreadsheet i have, or i can ask each of our members to post their previous weeks weight aswell with their most current weight, and you can total each number (Total last weeks weight, and total this week loss) to make the percentage.

    the next, and FINAL :noway: weighin after next sunday will be the 15th, Friday. thats when our beloved Deathly Hallows PART 2 comes out! im not sure exaclty what we need to calculate for the final weighin. week (or rather 5 day) percentage loss, or total challenge percentage loss?

    in the case of the former, week/5day loss, the same can be done for what i said for sunday. have members post their previous and current weights. for the latter, total loss, each member will have to post their STARTING WEIGHT FOR THE CHALLENGE, and their most current weight. the total % loss can be derived that way.

    BUT, if i can help one of you set up excel, it will be alot faster. :wink:


    PS! its less than 2 weeks till our movie is out. can you believe it? theres a few new clips out -
