Ahaha, I may be a bit early but it's already nearly 9am here in Singapore so I've got my weigh in for the 9th!

I can't even believe it! My weight was pretty steady through the week and I thought I'd barely hit half a pound down and then suddenly the last two days it just dropped right off. Even better, I've noticed my size 6's that had been feeling pretty tight are sliding up without much trouble these last few days, I'm ecstatic I may need to keep an eye out for a cute size 4 in the next few weeks~

Donating blood tomorrow so I'm upping my calories for today and tomorrow, I'm just going to aim to get to 117 even by next week.

I am in! Only I'm challenging my self to 3 lbs per week because I just started and I know I have a lot of water weight to lose and that usually comes off at a rate of 3 -5 lbs per week for a month for me.

I BROKE MY PLATEAU!!!!!!

Yay! That's SUCH a great feeling!

I love your goal of "just being overweight." That is so my goal! My actual goal weight would still put me in the overweight catagory but I don't care. I loved my body at that weight and I certainly didn't look overweight.

I gained 9 lbs this last weekend & spent ALL WEEK trying to get it back off. I say this to remind myself of how completely un-worth it the cookie (and other stuff) binge was.

Good morning All. So far I lost 1 lb. I am happy with that, I will take any loss. A little over 2 years ago I had bunion surgerys and since I wouldn't workout the way I wanted too, I also did not keep track of what I was eating. Before I knew it I gained 25lb. :noway: Since I have joined MFP a little over a month ago, I have lost 8 lbs. This is a journey, I know I can't expect to loose it all fast but I will get there again. :happy:

Just keep track once a week of your weight. Some of us have our weigh ins on fridays. I check in daily for support but I don't comment much. But for me just reading everone's ups and. downs do help because we are all in this weight loss, live better journey

Well, the days are going by and the scale is not budging from 148/149... not a good sign if my goal is to get to 143 before month end.

I've been running ~5k every second day, but not doing much on the day in between, so maybe I need to work on that.

Also, after a successful August, maybe I've been letting a few too many extra 'bites' here and there sneak in to my diet. I've been hungry / snacky, so I really need to watch myself. I guess I need to recognize that this could be hormonal, and I just need to get through it, and food will be easier again soon.

However, I'm very happy to be fighting the magic elastic that usually zings me back to 155, once I get close to 150!!

OMGoodness! See... that milestone is just fun! Now I feel like I can consider myself just a little "pudgy", lol! It's incredible how much of a difference it makes in my motivation! Congratulations!

You're right. I lost about 11 lbs my first week. It did start slowing down after that, but everyone loses differently. I would be so nice if the weight came off that fast all the time!

:sad:

But I know I had a rough weekend and was WAY over sodium yesterday plus I've logged many jogging miles this week and I'm achy, so I expected a gain. At least it's only 2 this time.

Hope you all have a good weekend. I'm starting mine off with a funeral, but it's for a friend of a frind, so it won't be too hard on me. Tomorrow is my 5k marking my 1yr doing 5k's (same place as my first one).

Aside from all your plans, take the time to thank any military, police, firefighters this weekend and remember those who lost theor lives 10yrs.

Awww! That stinks, but you're right! It's only 2 lbs! I gained 9 last weekend That was no fun! And when my muscles are sore, I always weigh more... don't know if they retain water to heal? You're doing great!

theresamommyof4

2 lbs here

That's GREAT! I certainly wish I had pulled off 2 pounds! Lol!
