Sept 4- 175.8
Sept 9 - 170.8 (yes it looks like I already lost 5, but I was up 8.... lol)
Sept 16 - 176.4
Sept 23 - 172.8
Sept 30 -


Ayyy ay ayyyy. I have been VERY Up and down this month. While I wanted to lose more than the 5 pounds this month because I gained so much, but I am thinking that at this point i'd be lucky to just lose the 5, I have to accept that the weight gain wasnt just a fluke. I have to just keep going and not get upset.

Good luck you you all! Still have one more week til the final weigh in if you havent made your goals yet! Don't give up!

Sometimes our bodies just don't get the message that we're trying to lose! stupid bodies! You'll get back on track with the losing in time and be at your goal before you know it

I still can't get off of this yo-yo! Maybe I'll see something good next week. I'm running a friend the final 6.2 miles of her marathon tomorrow. Last night I started planting 259 flower bulbs & I got the majority of them in the ground. I have about 40 left to plant this morning, so I'm out to do that now before my nephew's soccer game at 9am. :flowerforyou: I can't wait till spring! It will look beautiful!

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!

Holding at 215 lbs (down from 217.4 at the beginning of this month). I have a fancy scale though and I'm pleased that fat % is down and muscle % is up.

Ive been super busy with my training, for anyone who is thinking (or not thinking) about training for a race or running in general, here's my first month of HMT (half marathon training). Or if you just need to laugh... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/BrunetteWife/view/why-did-the-turtle-cross-the-road-151269

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!

from 187.5 for the past 3 weeks to 184! Thanks to Poseidon for the suggestion to change my exercise program. Also am keeping cals consumed at 1200, without eating back what I exercised. 3.5 lbs lost this week! One more, and I've met this challenge!

susan1024

Whew...I made it. Started at 257.4 and am now 252.2

Isherryb, congratulations on making it into Onederland!!!!

9/01 - 176
9/08 - 175
9/16 - 175
9/25 - 178 - that's not good. What am I doing wrong? I think I need to exercise more. I don't track it most of the time, so I don't know what I am doing. I need to start tracking, so I know what I am doing.
9/30 -

My youngest boy is 3 next month too!! 10/10!

We've got a bunch of sweet little 3 year olds coming up! I love this age! They're so much fun!

theresamommyof4

Man! I'm seeing a pattern in myself. When it's my TOM, I have ZERO ability to control myself on the weekends. I always tell myself how unworth it it is, but I do it all over again... mainly with sweet stuff.

I'm up seven lbs this morning. I know I have a lot of water weight... the sodium from all the food PLUS just being bloated and crampy, so I'm hoping by the end of the week, I can get that off and pull off a little bit of a loss.

Friday is my weigh in! 4 days to get it done! Wish me luck!

theresamommyof4

Oh no!!! Did I really start off our new board with my post about my weekend?!?! Lol!

UCONNCOED

Lol... Theresamommy... I'm sure many of us struggled over the weekend. I know I ALWAYS do. We go 4 days to get rid of any of the extra pounds we packed on!

4littlemonkeys

My weekends are ok food wise....it's the extra drink or 2 of wine (or 3 or 4:blushing: ) that do me in.....always seem to be a couple of lb's heavier on Mondays!!

achasnis

urgh back to the 159's again. I am hoping it is because I am sick and sipping hot soup all day. Can't even believe the amount of sodium those darn things have!!!! ... Anyways weighing in at 159.2!

Quick post, been busy - today is my daughter's 3 year old birthday! Let's hope the terrible-two's are officially over! :drinker:

Tomorrow is my work retreat. I will need to be sure to pack at least a few snacks, so that I am not completely caught off-guard with the menu. I think I'll bring some green tea, as well. And my workout clothes, so that I can go for a run. Not saying that I "will" go for a run, but at least bring them so I 'can'...

I'm back from my retreat - I actually did pretty ok while I was there. I went for a run Wed night, and a walk Thurs morning. I had only a few bites of treats here and there, but then over the weekend I continued to slide... PMS / TOM + sneaking in a few too many carbs + being busy-busy = one super bad combination. I'll spare all the details, and suffice it to say that last night's supper was chocolate birthday cake and potato chips. By bedtime, I was so tired from the sugar-crash and disgusted with myself, that I am totally ready to be back on track today.

Scale is still at 149. Only 4 days left. My primary objective is not to post a gain, so I have to at least get back to 148 for a maintenance month, and I'd love to get lower just to be able to say there was a loss, however small.

I am finally back. I had enough time yesterday to read about how every one is doing. Sorry I don't have time to comment. Today is the 2nd day in the last 2 weeks that all 3 kids have gone to school. We have been fighting a very nasty stomach bug this month and hopefully everyone stays healthy.

This month is going to be one not for the books. I started the month hurting my back and was not exercising and then everyone got sick and I have been too tired or too sick to work out. I am avoiding the scale until the 30th. Hopefully it will be kind to me. I can't even get my nap time walk on the treadmill done because I have a new 4 month old who is not on the same schedule as the 2 and 4 year olds. And next week I have another infant starting. What was I thinking when I took 2 so close together.....oh I know I need to replace the ones who went on to school so that I can pay the bills. It is going to be very stressful around here for a few weeks.

I will post the link for next month very soon.

So it's officially autumn, yay! Who's excited about Halloween? What are costumes you never thought you'd wear but are now considering? Or, what are you going as this year?

I have a rough anniversary to get past Oct 29th and then again Nov 9th (marks the one year of my husbands grandparents passing away. It's gonna be hard too.) so we don't have much for plans that weekend.

But I do have a Halloween 5k Oct 30th, and the best news is that my youngest brother(11) Tyler registered with me! I'm trying to figure out what to wear since there's a contest too. I gotta make sure it's something I can run in..we just looked at a few Halloween stores today, lots of options, but still not sure yet..

Well I've had not the best couple of weeks. Work is manic, so had less time to plan, been working late so have been tired, then along comes TOM and I get the biggest sugar cravings ever, right on the day that all my colleagues randomly bring in food. 30 donuts, chocolate biscuits, little chocolates - everything. My willpower was zilch and I ate THREE donuts :-((( Had a few other days like that, but in between I've tried to be good. However, not been able to get to the gym due to work schedule so am now making myself cycle to and from work whenever humanly possible as it's actually quicker than sitting in the traffic for the 6 mile journey I have.

Anyway, I'd lost 2.4 lbs by 12th Sept I think, but haven't weighed myself. Somehow I don't think that by Friday I wlll have lost as much as 2.6lbs. But I'm here. And trying to get back fully on track.
