    Well done Forensic and megsie25. You have done fantastically well so far Southtowngirl, slow and stead is the way to do it, just look forward to next week when you will be down again I'm sure.

    Started at 345 lbs in June

    23/08/2011 : 302lbs
    30/08/2011 : 295lbs
    06/09/2011 : 291lbs
    13/09/2011 : 286lbs - 5lb down this week (plus I'm past the 4 stone overall mark now).

    Needed a bit of a kick this week, the plan was to get under 20 stone by the end of October ready for my friends birthday on the 29th. I haven't seen him or that group of friends since my birthday in April so wanted to surprise them but also meet a couple of big miles stones by then i.e. down 5 Stone over all and under 20. But got invited to his girlfriends birthday on 2nd October so I will see them all sooner than I had planned. Thankfully I think I will be able to do it, might have to do a weigh in on the 2nd just so I can produce the little ticket :)

    But I have been working at it like a dog this last week, went for an 5 mile walk last night.

    Looks like everyone is doing well this week!

    Yay! I'm down two more to an even 230.0. How exactly that happened I'm not sure (birthday week and all...some extra calories were involved), but I'll take it and press on. I really need to get a run in tonight!

    Hi all Tuesday weigh-iners!

    I was a little worried about this week because I have had the flu I have done absolutely no training, exercise, I have ONLY watched my calories. MFP logo states that I have been a member since June but I joined and never came on, I wasn't 'ready' I suppose. I have been a dedicated MFP member since 18/07/2011.

    I'm "5.77" and my stats were beginning July 92kg
    Last week 84.2kg and this week....... Drumroll

    82.6!!!! Yay! Almost at half way!!

    4pound weight loss this week!!! Yay!

    I hope you are all travelling well and had a great loss today.

    Feel free to add me :)

    My weigh in day is tuesday too, so I'll post when I wake up.
    Hopefully making tuesday the "official" weigh in day will keep me from taking a peak every day..

    20/09/2011 : 284lbs - 2lb

    Had a filling weekend, was shooting in the NFAS National Archery Championships so had a massive breakfast to make sure I got through both Saturday and Sunday. I wasn't expecting a big loss this week, if any so more than happy with another 2lbs down.

    Getting close to that magic 280lbs (20 stone mark now).

    Still hanging steady (actually up .2) - still 7 pounds from goal. But with all that's going on lately at least I'm not gaining. BoyChild's wedding is this weekend, then I hope life (and food and excercise) will fall back into routine and I'll get those last 7 off.

    Hey welcome to the party megsie and grace! Nice work, Andy - cool that you are an archer! I loved archery in college. Southtown, good attitude - get through the wedding and then you can refocus.

    As for me, I'm up 0.5 lbs today to 230.5. Big picnic this last weekend, a birthday party as well, and I think my own birthday week caught up to me, plus I feel like I'm retaining a bit of water (can you say too much sodium?) With all of the September celebrations behind us now I can refocus - this week is going to be good, I can feel it!

    I hope everyone's week goes swimmingly.

    Broke the plateau. Although not in the best way. Multiple family members sick, one in hospital, I didnt have time to eat (or sleep). Everyone is well now though, and BoyChild's wedding went off without a hitch Saturday night, so all is right with the world and I'm back on track with my eating, and heading back to the gym this week. I'm almost at goal, now I just need to work on the strength training a bit harder.

    Hey Southtown - sorry to hear about all the illness and whatnot, but glad everyone is well and you're on top of it!

    I had a little help with my loss as well in the form of a mild intestinal flu, but I like to think that a good chunk of the 5.5 lbs I dropped since last week was my own doing :)

    So, yeah, down to 225 today, down below my 2004 weight! YeeHaw! Five more pounds and I can get a price break on my life insurance :)

    Hope everyone is doing well today!

    Well done guys, I didn't get a chance to weigh myself yesterday as I was out and about all day. I suspect I haven't lost much and I think I might delay this weeks weigh in until Friday, then get an official figure next Tuesday.
  • andy_gilfrin

    Couldn't wait until Friday, I wanted to make sure I was on track and if I wasn't have a final push before the weekend.

    Started at 345 lbs in June

    23/08/2011 : 302lbs
    30/08/2011 : 295lbs
    06/09/2011 : 291lbs
    13/09/2011 : 286lbs
    20/09/2011 : 284lbs
    28/09/2011 : 279lbs - 5lb

    Really happy with that as it means I'm now under the 20 stone mark. Spent most of the weekend doing archery and then helped out at a corporate event yesterday moving heavy stuff around ALL day.

    I was beginning to think ironband and I were the only two left. Great week Andy! I used to be really into archery for many years, but we dont really have any local clubs any more. I need to gather up a few friends who used to be in our group and start a new one. It's great fun!
  • andy_gilfrin
    andy_gilfrin Posts: 64
    Yeah I love it, although I do field archery in the woods rather than in an actual field. I doubt either are especially strenuous but at least with field archery you are often up and down steep hills, so it gets the old blood pumping.

    Did the national champs 2 weeks ago and came 6th, I think losing weight has helped a lot and apart from those champs I have won 4 straight golds at regional level.
  • southtowngirl
    southtowngirl Posts: 72 Member
    I only ever competed locally, but our competitions were set up in the woods also. It would've been a pretty good hike if going straight through without stopping at each target. I do still have my bow though I haven't used it in many many years.

    28/09/2011 : 279lbs
    04/10/2011 : 279lbs - Nothing

    Had to happen some time... I was out and about a lot last week, drank a little too much on Friday and ate too much on Saturday (friends birthday) so while I hoped I'd have lost something it was always going to be tough. I suspect I hadn't really lost the full 5 lbs last week so I'll think of it as a 2.5 average for the two weeks :)

    Just need to knuckle down and get on with it this week and hope there is better news next time.

    Somehow I'm still losing...didn't work out as much this week as I wanted to, but I guess it was enough! Weighing in at 222.5 today for a 2.5 lb loss! Now if I could just get over this nasty cold...

    You can do it Southtowngirl! Kick it into high gear and drop those pounds!

    As for me, down one more pound this week to 221.5

    Hope everyone has a great week!

    I was on vacation last week so didn't have access to my regular scale. I weighed myself on Saturday so will log that now, I'm in meetings all day today so not sure if I will be able to pop out later to do the official Tuesday log.

    Started at 345 lbs in June

    23/08/2011 : 302lbs
    30/08/2011 : 295lbs
    06/09/2011 : 291lbs
    13/09/2011 : 286lbs
    20/09/2011 : 284lbs
    28/09/2011 : 279lbs
    04/10/2011 : 279lbs
    15/10/2011 : 277lbs - 2lb down

    I suspect it was a little more than2 pounds as the scales said 125.7kg and the previous week it was 126.5kg, so closer to 3 lbs down however I imagine I was 279.99 lbs and 277.1 lbs this week if you see what I mean.

    NIce work Andy!

    As for me, not sure how (did not work out that much this week), but I dropped 3 lbs this week to bring me to 218.5. I've now surpassed my original goal of losing 40 lbs, and decided to go for another 10 - still have some flabbiness I want to lose and fit into my 36" waist again - so I updated my goals and will continue on. In the meantime, if weight holds for another week, I'm calling my life insurance company to come out and re-weigh me to get my better rate!

    15/10/2011 : 277lbs
    25/10/2011 : 273lbs - 4lbs down

    That was actually on Saturday morning. Saturday was my wife's birthday so we went out for a meal, didn't go mad but would imagine I haven't lost much since, just happy the trend is still down overall.

    Normally I weight myself at the pharmacy so that's my base line, but decided to get the home scales out and weight myself without clothes or shoes. I came in at 265 which is great. I have lost 72 pounds now, just over 20 to reach my goal weight, was planning to get it done before the end of the year, but just to get there will be amazing, then I'll go for another 30 pounds or so to get me in the "normal" range, but I'm a big tall guy so that will be a bonus rather than something I really want to do.

    Coming in at 217.0 today, for a loss of 1.5 on the week.

    Come on Southtown - Let's get this!

    Andy, I can relate. Lots of parties lately - I'm amazed that the trend is still downward. But looking over my diary, I didn't to as badly as I perceive...I'm just not used to going over at all and used to exercising more, so when I do and don't, mentally I think it's going to be bad. Still, I can't have a false sense of security about it - I know I need to refocus and get serious again!

    When I first started this journey, I thought a weight of 205, which would be the top of the "healthy" range in BMI for my 6'4" frame, was an utterly ridiculous idea. Now it seems like something that might be a good thing...still not totally sure, but we'll look at that again when I hit 210.

    I have lost a total of 75lbs, might just hit my target before Christmas which was to be down a total of 93.7 (yes sounds odd but that's 7 stone here in the UK)

    Nice work Andy!

    I'm down another 1.5 this week to 215.5 - still not exercising as much as I should like, but it is what it is, and down is down.

    Next week I'll be traveling for business, and so will not be able to weigh in. I'll still check in, though!

    I'm wondering if maybe we should start a new thread to get some more folks into our "club." What do ya'll think?

    A day late, but finally down another 1.5. Still hoping for another 3.5 by Thanksgiving (so I'll have a little leeway for the holiday). But my mom has started making some of my favorite 'treats' so it will be hard. (I'm eating them in moderation though, not scarfing down the entire bucketful in one sitting!)
