    Good Morning everyone! I stayed the same this week, but I'm not upset. Matter of fact I'm over joyed with my progress. Who would have thought I was going to be so successful. My husband asked me not to lose any more weight :love: . Everyone at work has started noticing (finally!) and I have received hugh compliments. It pays to stay focused.

    Week 1 July 22 185 o lost
    Week 2 July 29 187 +2mad mad mad
    Week 3 August 5 183 -2 from starting weight!drinker drinker
    Week 4 August 12 184 +1 need to stop playing with the mid 180's and get into the 170's
    Week 5 August 19 184....mad mad at least I am not going up
    Week 6 August 26 185...up one back to where I started and getting a bit frustrated here. I need to make
    sure to log everything. I was really hoping to be out of the 180's by now!

    To those who have already posted glad to see so many are doing great. :flowerforyou:

    I am really doing great with my working out, I just need to get my eating under control. Evenings seem to be my weak time right now. I need to get some quilt blocks going that need hand sewing so my hands are occupied when I sit down at night to watch tv...maybe that way I won't eat.

    Have a great day! I have already burned 300 calories today with my morning walk. (I have been shooting for 3 workouts per day that burn 300-400 calories each)

    Start Date July 15 - Starting weight 242.4 lbs.
    Week 1 July 22 - 240 (-2.4)
    Week 2 July 29 - 239.4 (-0.6)
    Week 3 August 5 - 235.8 (-3.6)
    Week 4 August 12 - 233.8 (-2.0)
    Week 5 August 19 - 232.0 (-1.8)

    GW by Christmas: 210

    I did a lot of manual labour during my vacation and wasn't stuck at a desk all week so I think that helped with the bigger loss this past week.

    Take care everyone,

    Down another pound this week but I weighed in this morning after a 5 mile run, so I'm hoping this is accurate and that I wasn't just dehydrated! Please let it stick, Please please please!!! :tongue:
    I could really use this as a motivator, I've been getting frustrated with my slow progress lately.

    Start Date July 15 Starting weight 192 (goal = 169) (23 pounds)
    Week 1 July 22 CW = 189.8 / Loss - 2.2 / total loss = -2.2
    Week 2 July 29 CW = 189.8 / Loss = BIG FAT ZERO (TOM) / total loss = -2.2

    Week 3 August 5 - on vacation
    Week 4 August 12 – on vacation
    Week 5 August 19 - CW = 190.4 / Gain of 0.6 / Total loss = 1.6
    Week 6 August 26 - CW=190.4 / no change, but no gain, either! / Total loss = 1.6

    Really REALLY wish that I was farther along than this, but I know that is my own dang fault for slacking off on the exercise while I was on vacation. I'm choosing to take this as a life lesson to remind myself of what I already know and that is: I have to stay on top of my diet and exercise ALWAYS.

    ALWAYS. :noway:

    Every time I've put on weight in the past it has been because I thought that I could start "slacking". I think maybe now it is sinking in.

    Anyways - thanks for listening to my rant.

    I totally understand. I wish I was farther along already too, but because I ate like crazy on vacation (even though I did tons of walking and taking the stairs) I gained almost 7 lbs (10 total but 7 for this challenge). So don't feel bad, I am only down 4lbs due to the gain. We'll get there. Slow and steady wins the race and we learn life lessons along the way!!! It's a win win situation, I would say!!
