    Weigh in time! I lost 2.6 pounds this week, I have lost 23 pounds!!!!! Have a fabulous Valentine's weekend! My brother is getting married on V-Day, my daughter is the adorable flower girl! My game plan this weekend is to relax and have fun, there will be several food temptations (wedding cake!).... I think I will try a little of everything and drink lots of water.

    I'm down 0.6lbs this week to 216.8.
    TOM is starting for me and I'm super bloated, so I'm actually REALLY happy about 0.6 pounds! :drinker:

    Katie, put me down for a 8 lb loss, because I've now lost the same 4 lbs TWICE. UGH! Can't seem to get past 218, fluctuating between it and 222. Going to chug a lug water today like nobody's business and get to gym early for run. No excuses today, I'm sick of this bouncing around nonsense.
    Hopefully better results tomorrow.

    I may need a new scale because every time I get on it says something different, and I just changed the batteries a couple weeks ago. Anyway, I decided to go with the # that came up 3 times in a row, which is 273, so that would put me at a 1.5 pound loss.

    I am still working on the water challenge, but I will add the exercise to my goal too.

    Well, I'm finally back on track. I lost 5-3/4 pounds. I am down to 240.75 for a total loss of 71.25 pounds over the last 8 months. Now I need to break into the 230's. That is my immediate goal. This is the most I have lost in one week since I started in June. Hopefully it won't take me 2 months to hit the 80 pound loss. I am so happy and feeling so good. I drink 80 oz. of water a day, so the challenge wasn't a difficult one for me. Gotta run. Good luck everybody. Another week - another challenge.

    Well- i have had a couple of late nights in a row, and although i stayed under my calories for the day (did exercise & get in more than my 64 oz of water daily); i ate after 9pm :tongue: and it does seem to make a difference for weigh-in for me. Anyway, i am up 1lb from my Wednesday weigh-in, blast it. :grumble: But still managed to show a loss for the week. :bigsmile: i am headed to the doctor's office to see the doctor & get the results from my blood work.

    katie 222.6 (-2)

    And i got in all my water and most days more than the minimum (not counting coffee, tea, juice, etc.) that is a huge change for me i used to have to include all liquid i drank and was often still short of the minimum :drinker:

    Okay, I can't add! I mean a 2.5 pound loss, not 1.5!

    Hi Everyone, I'm 299.5 down -1.5. Pretty happy with that considering Sunday was a total write off. Any loss is a good loss :) Just got home from spin class. I blasted 1300 kcal. Have a great week.

    MARLE!! Congrats on making it into the 200s this week!!

    I was hoping to do the same but didn't make it. I was experimenting this week with the "just eating less but not tracking" method, because, let's face it, tracking can be tedious and sometimes even hard. Although I did lose, I only lost 0.8 pounds, taking me to 300.6. Still in the 300s! Back to tracking! When I see how well some of you are losing, it really brings home to me the power of tracking, being consistent and not trying to improve on a good program.

    I'm up for the exercise challenge, too-- I haven't done any up till now, either. I may have to break it up into two or three chunks, but I'll do it! Will try to continue with the water drinking as well, so that these new habits build on one another.

    Happy Valentine's Day to all, and to all who are single-- myself included-- remember to do something extra nice for yourself. : )

    Sorry I'm just checking in now I'm usually the first one in but had to get up and out the door early today. Well I weighed in at 234.8 for .4 lose. I think it would have been more if I didn't blow it on Tuesday . But it is a lose!


    But I did well on the water intake 10/8/8/8/8/8/10.

    Hope everyone has a great week and a wonderful Valentine's Day! Hugs!

    Marle- congratulations on dropping below 300, i know that feels good.
    Becca- you're right logging food does help. and breaking up exercise works too. (it is more effective if you can keep the exercise in at least 10 minute blocks.)

    i did see the doctor today. my cholesterol numbers are still not great, but overall he is impressed with how i'm doing and said at this point he wants to remove, not add to my medications. (so we'll keep an eye on it, sometimes it is more about genetics and all my dieting can't change that) however, he did cut back the dosage of one medication i take and eliminated another one.

    he was very pleased with my progress, in fact, he even said i am his star patient right now.

    glad to have that validation. got to keep going, he wants to see me again in 3 months. i mean to drop that next 20 lbs, so that i can be 100 lbs down by then.

    did an hour of water aerobics today. i will head to the gym tomorrow morning. Sunday is usually my day off (and i work about 10 hours) so getting in 30 minutes of anything but walking may be tough.
    have a happy valentine's day weekend everyone. -katie

    Katie, that is just wonderful that your doctor thinks you can maybe start reducing your medications. 80 pounds is a LOT of weight, so no wonder you are his prize patient!
