    Weight loss: -1 lbs 136
    New Year Goal: 130


    its so hard to diet when almost every night someone wants to go out to dinner! i always order grilled chicken or salmon with a side of veggies no butter in any of the cooking and a side salad but somehow it still throws me off :-(

    Does eating late at night effect weight even if its healthy food?
  • Good Morning girls

    Congrats Stephy, lildebbie & vitabella on your losses this week!!

    Welcome breezy81

    Vitabella I dont think so, unless your going over your calories!! Or eating most of them right before bed.

    I am 1 lb down.

    Wow congrats everyone on the losses!

    I'm sorry to say I didn't lose, but gained .5 pound, probably mostly thanks to Thanksgiving and the weekend after. (Embarrassing since I'm the one who started this challenge :embarassed:) BUT - I know next week will be a good weigh in for me. I can safely say ahead of time I'll be working my butt off to be successful! Today was my last final at school and I'm done for this semester on until Jan 12!!! Over a month to work hard on my weight loss, and I'm going to take full advantage of it. I promise! (...now I REALLY have to! :laugh:)

    So..
    Challenge SW: 200.5
    CW: 201.0
    Change: +.5
    NY GW: 190.5

    Good luck for the next weigh in everyone!
  • Blondie

    Ye-AAA Finals are over for you!! No worries... here, life happens! Sounds like a GREAT plan.....best of luck to you over the next month!!! :smile:
  • Congrats on all the losses! I also gained - up 1 lb from last week :(. I know it was due to Thanksgiving, but it is still a blow. I am still determined to reach my goal by Dec. 31st though!

    Challenge SW 177
    CW 178 (+1)
    NYE Goal 167

    Good luck this week everyone!

    Hello All, Last week I started it with my best foot forward and the other foot did not follow!! I want to swear here! Anyhow, I will keep at it until I reach my goal weight. I am on my path to goodness and greatness. I know that this past week was not one of my best, god knows. Today is a new week in my journey.

    I didn't gain and I didn't lose. I think that I have been exercising like a mental patient and it caught up with me last week!! Anyhow, I am training for a half marathon and I want that day to be the end of "the losing" and the beginning of the "maintaining".

    The marathon will be on April 25, 2010 Earth Day!!

    Welcome!
  • I haven't lost anything...and possibly may have gained a pound. I am thinking it is a lag effect from Thanksgiving week. I am not going to weigh again until one week from Friday...December 18th. I will post it then. I am sick of fluctuating.

    I wonder if that's what's going on with me too... I've been eating much better and working out a lot (burning 500+ calories most days) and I haven't lost anything in a while. Hm..

  • Hey girls:smile:

    Its been a bad week of eating for me.... I have gained....4 lbs>>>>:cry:

    I'm getting it under control... TODAY!!

    WTG to everyone that has lost this week!!!:heart:
  • Hey girls! congrats to everyone who has lost this week. I am up 1/2 lb and worked my tail off this week by working out as well as keeping track of eating. Being on my period does not help and I am assuming that is where the gain is from.

    Oh well, I am proud I worked out everyday and I feel great! My Christmas party for work is tonight and I am feeling positive about making healthy choices! :smile:

    Have a great weekend ladies and keep up the hard work!:flowerforyou:
  • i have one more week before I'm stepping on the scale so congrats to everyone who lost, and hang in there to those that didn't! I am tracking my calories so I'll hopefully lose at least some ounces this week......was on track until last night and i over did it. oh well....up by the boot straps to try again.

    Congrats to everyone who lost this week!!

    I'm happy I lost a pound this week... but still annoyed that I'm SO close to being under 200. Couldn't be any closer, and still didn't make it! Oh well. I KNOW I will soon.

    Challenge SW: 200.5
    Last week: 201
    This week: 200 even. UGH lol

    Well this stinks. I'm gaining a couple of pounds and I'm hoping it's just bloating. Ya know what I mean? I've really started eating healthy today; went out and bought all healthy stuff, so hopefully it'll get me on the right track. Even though I won't make my goal at New Year's, I'm sure gonna keep on trying.

    Don't feel bad. I can't make my New Year's goal either. But I'm gonna do the best I can, that's all we can do right? You'll see the pounds coming off soon, just stick with it!!
