One pound is great considering the week you had (read your other posts, not your mind). You will be in the 170's before you know it!!

Totally bummed today!! I am up 1.6lbs and don't know why. I have been eating well, drinking lots of water, haven't worked out much but I really don't think that's it. I am up 1.6 from last week's weigh in on here, but up 4lbs since Friday. When I went to the doctor on Friday I weighed 201.6 and now I'm at 205.6. How is that possible??? I am so upset and frustrated. I don 't know what else to do.
Looking at the history here I have only lost 2.4 since July!! That's awful!!!:sad: :sad: :sad: :mad: :mad:

Good Morning everyone! I stayed the same again this week. They say the last 10 lbs is the hardest to lose. Boy, I'm here to tell you. I have worked my bunzolas off and still no movement. Oh well the compliments I am receiving is my payoff for these past three weeks! I'm still quite happy with my progress. It pays to stay focused.

Congrats to ALL ! This is very inspiring! :flowerforyou:

Well it's my TOM, so I'm considering no loss a good thing. Feel gross though. :ohwell:

Trying not to dwell on my slow weight loss progress, and more on the fact that I've never been so fit.
I signed up for my first race!!! I'm running a 10k on Labor Day to benefit a local children's hospital!

I'm so excited and NERVOUS!!!

I'm so glad for everyone who's lost this week, but more importantly, I'm inspired by everyone's dedication. Even if you're struggling, you keep coming back and not giving up! Cheers to you!!!:drinker:

Looking at the history here I have only lost 2.4 since July!! That's awful!!!:sad: :sad: :sad: :mad: :mad:

I understand your frustration. I have been playing with the same 7 pounds since March. I was down to 177 and then went on a couple vacations and shot up to 185 and have been fighting to get back below 170 since then. I am doing great with working out, it is eating that tends to mess me up. Hang in there!

gotta say I'm pretty frustrated. I exercise, and watch what I'm eatting. But the weight is just not coming off. I am no where near where I wanted to be right now. I was really wanting to be closer to 180 than 190.
This weekend is off to Iowa for Grandma's 95th birthday party. And while there will be lots of food, I know I will still be able to make healthy choices.
Hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend!

o poo. i posted to last week instead. Here are my numbers this week in the CORRECT thread:

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

Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday - CW=189.6 / loss of -0.8 / Total loss = -2.4

I will take that stinkin' 0.8 loss because this is the first time that the scale has moved in the right direction in a while! So easy to put it on and sooooooo hard to take it off again! Hope everyone is doing better than I am!:blushing: Was wishing I was farther along than I am seeing as I started 8 weeks ago *sigh*

Do you have a non-food way to reward yourself as you are losing weight? It is important to reward yourself for a job well done.

manicure/pedicure for small goals, and for a BIG loss, I get a facial - my favorite thing EVER!!!

Hi All,

I can't figure out why but the scale seems to stay pretty much the same during the week and then over the weekend I have big drop (not that I am really complaining). I do have a desk job during the week and am much more active on the weekend but it just seems a little odd.

Anyway, I went to FanExpo this weekend as I mentioned previously and ran my butt off trying to get from place to place and line to line and doing shopping too. There was 59,000 people there this weekend which is a 9,000 jump over last year. I am so glad I went two hours early each day and was within the first 50 people to get in each day. I have some awesome pictures of me and Bruce Campbel, Linda Hamilton, Emma Caulfield, Billy Dee Williams, Avery Brooks, and James Kyson Lee that I will post once I figure out how.

Anyone know how to add pictures to the posts?

Anyway, I hope you are all doing well and from the posts it seems like everyone is working hard. Keep at it and have faith in yourself that you deserve to be where you want to be and to reach your goals.

Take care,
Tammy

So I had a yogurt and oatmeal this morning Good Start.

I am also starting to drink water too. Small changes for now.

I had oatmeal too. I's a little wierd how I make it, though.....
I use the low-sugar store-brand kind and skim milk - bring it in my lunchbox.
Now, I work in a dental hygiene school, where I run the steam autoclaves fir sterilizing the equipment and I pop the bowl in while I have them heI ing up for the day and.....VIOLA! Yummy hot oatmeal :laugh:
