    I know that I'm posting early, but my weigh in day is Friday. No way I could ever make my official weigh in right after the weekend!!!! I'm down 1.6 from last week, not sure if that is a real loss, or maybe I was just kinda bloated at last weigh in. Regardless, I'll take it!!!! Seven weeks for me to lose 8.2 pounds is totally doable! :bigsmile:

    Start Weight: 149.8

    WK #1 7/11: 149.8
    WK #2 7/18: 148.2
    WK #3 7/25
    WK #4 8/1
    WK #5 8/8
    WK #6 8/15
    WK #7 8/22
    WK #8 8/29
    WK #9 9/5

    Thanks again OBX1985 for taking this on! Have a great vacation :)

    I'm still at 194.9 today *grumble* but better than a gain! I too will be on vacation next week, but I will still try to weigh in at the hotel gym, IF it's near my weight. Last time it said I weighed 10lbs LESS. I wanted to kiss it and take it home with me, but I knew it wasn't right *sigh*

    Well, Water weight is killing me...I've dropped 3 pounds that came on over the weekend after a music gig, so by saturday I will probably see the loss that actually occurred. Here's to next weeks numbers....

    WEEK #2 Closes Sat. night 7/20


    I'm a Friday weigh-in person so I've gone ahead and updated my numbers for week 3. I didn't touch the group loss, figured the last person weighing in this week could do that. So here are my numbers so far:

    Start Weight: 149.8

    WK #1 7/11: 149.8
    WK #2 7/18: 148.2
    WK #3 7/25: 147.6 (7/22)
    WK #4 8/1
    WK #5 8/8
    WK #6 8/15
    WK #7 8/22
    WK #8 8/29
    WK #9 9/5

    Labor Day Goal: 140

    Slow and steady loss--I'll take it!! I've been on a plateau recently so I actually increased my calories by 250 per day (reset goals to 0.5 lb/wk loss) after reading that that sometimes will work on the forums, and the scale is finally moving again!

    Hey guys... we're still only in week 2... it began on Monday and ends this Saturday.

    Week 3 is NEXT week :flowerforyou:

    Actually, it depends on when you weigh in. I weigh in on Fridays, and the "official" weigh-in day for this group is Monday, so for example you're posting your weight for 7/18 on 7/22, which for me I would consider that weigh in 4 days late. I, on the other hand, choose to post my weigh in for Monday (week 3) early on Friday--NO WAY I'm weighing in on a Monday after the weekend!!! So technically I will finish the challenge 3 days early, and you'll finish the challenge 4 days late. No biggie, as long as we're going in the right direction!!! :wink:

    I thought the rules were that we weigh in on whichever day Monday-Saturday that is our normal day and then post it before Saturday. I weigh myself everyday but I post my weigh-in for this group on either Friday or Saturday. Whatever works then! :smile:

    Okay - I've totally confused myself with the dates - I have Sat. as the closing date for each week. The 9th week will end on Sat. 9/3, with your FINAL weigh in (GW) will be on Mon. 9/5 - Labor Day. Sorry if I've messed everyone up. Doesn't really matter though - just post your weight weekly - and as long as we're heading in the right direction that's all that matters!!! Looking good!!:tongue:

    Weighing in a tad early again--heading out of town for vacation after work today, so I won't have a chance to weigh in later. Happy with my 0.7 loss. Things are slowing down, but that's okay, I'm getting closer to goal so I expected it.

    Happy Friday everyone!!!
