    Only down .5 this week...a bit discouraging since I worked really hard. My health educator said it could be retained water from this unusual heat wave...I hope so. 13 pounds in 4 weeks is good progress I just need to keep it up. Hoping for a big number next week!

    Hey everyone!
    I think everyone is doing a great job!
    I will be honest last week was a rough week being that TOM and work related stuff going on. I got a little depressed when I saw a 2 pound gain last week.(Developed a good case of denial) So I skipped last week. (sorry) But I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning and I will own up to it good or bad. I am nervous tho.

    I'm amazed...I feel so much better than April 2009 when I weighed 223. June 2nd I joined MFP at 214. And today I weighed in at 199.6.

    Okay, so I had to take off my wedding ring,earrings and necklace to do it...but 199.6 is just that - under 200! :blushing:

    I'm so grateful to members of "JUNE STARTERS" started by "kandyjo" and "Fit By Fall" started by "mrsprazak05" and "Low Carb-ers Chanllenge to Choose Change" started by "SassySouthernGirl". These three ladies and their group members have inspired and encouraged me to reach a goal I sometimes never even considered starting because I didn't think I'd ever be successful...so I was a quitter before I even started! :angry:

    Now I get it, just one day at a time - one calorie at a time, one minute of exercise at a time. It's so much easier when it's small steps. I'm on my way! :happy:

    well done for being in the 1 hundreds.

    sw - 180
    lw - 169
    cw - 168 (12 stone)

    so 1 lb lost this week, i was so hoping i would be under 12 stone this week :grumble:
    but a loss is a loss and the inches are going down :happy:

    SO I was hoping for a big loss this week I worked my butt off and really want my vacation weight gone, but much to my dismay it's not all gone yet:sad:
    LW : 212
    CW: 210

    -2lbs, so a loss which is great but I was really hopping for more. Good News is if I keep losing just 2lbs a week in 27 weeks I'll be at my goal! Which is just after the new year.....

    This weekend is my birthday party though so I'll be happy if I just don't gain!! I will be indulging in alcohol but I won't be TOO bad with the food:drinker:

    That is a great way to think about it. Let's see. If I lose 2 lbs a week I will be at my goal in 22 weeks. Seems like a long time, but I can live with that.

    Potentially that is 8 - 10 lbs a month which is also a good way to look at it...

    This morning - 165.5 and it's my TOM.

    Last week was 166, I think? Weird week though, some mornings the scale bounced all the way up to 169, but was never lower than this morning. Oh well. I do have a lot of water retention, I can feel it as well as see it in my hands.

    Otherwise, feeling good :love:

    O.k. I couldn't help myself. I've been working really hard to work off the weekend and I drank way more water to flush out any sodium. I'm very diasapointed.

    Last week- 178.5
    CW- 180.5

    :explode:

    You know what though, I still weigh 14.5 lbs less than when I started this journey. I'll just have to work a little harder to get to my goal of 170 by August 31. I think I can do it. Maybe.

    Hey guys! Today I weighed in for the first time since last Wednesday. Made it a whole week without weighing and I think that is an accomplishment considering I would weigh multiple times per day.

    I am happy with my weight loss this week! Right on schedule. Really happy considering I ate several treats along the way (dairy queen peanut buster parfait, cookout food). I think this is a true testament that you can still eat the foods you love IN MODERATION and still lose weight. We can all rejoice to that! :)

    SW: 191
    LW: 176.5
    TW: 174.5
    GW: 150

    2lbs is great (sorry all the vacation weight isn't gone yet...but you had fun right?)! Most Dr's say 1 to 2 lbs a week is a good healthy weight loss. I'm one of those people who plans on 1 lb a week and then am pleasantly surprised with 2 lbs!:tongue:
