    Cheryl, it's good to hear that someone else has been through this too, and they have survived! Every day I just feel like I am going to curl up and die, but if you didn't, maybe I will have a whole heart again someday too! I actually moved from Vancouver, Canada to Aus, though I did live in Arizona for a while when I was younger!

    JOTW, yes, I was referring to you- didn't realize you were shorter than me, I was just looking at the weight stats! But regardless, we have similar goals and that also helps me to know that someone is aiming around the same numbers as me. And happy birthday! What I wouldn't give to be enjoying a lovely crisp fall day- we are heading into extreme heat summer here, so no cold fall days and changing leaves for me! Anyway, keep working till those work pants are around your ankles! :)

    Started MFP Aug 22, 2007 @ 195 lbs (5’9”)
    (Goal loss 37 lbs)
    _____________________________________________________________

    Start week 0/ Aug 22 195 lbs
    Week 4 / Sept 22 186.5 = 8.5 loss (in first four weeks)
    Week 5 / Sept 29 183.5 = 3 loss 11.5 total loss
    Week 6 / Oct 7 181 = 2.5 loss 14.0 total loss
    Week 7 / Oct 14 178.5 = 2.5 loss 16.5 total loss
    Week 8 / Oct 21 182 = 3.5 gain 13 total loss
    Week 9 / Oct 27 178.6 = 3.4 loss 16.4 total loss
    ______________________________________________________________
    I worked really hard this week since I had my first GAIN last week due to injury. I worked out 5 days for an hour and a half instead of 4 days for an hour. Three weights sessions instead of two.

    I even had a "cheat" last night of 600 calories over goal. But only that once this week.......and I knew I had lost maybe a little too much, so I probably needed it.

    YAY for Me!! I am so proud of myself!

    Back on track. Don’t give up when you have a setback. Just buckle down and do what it takes!

    This is the "Easy-to-read-version" of the next post. I keep forgetting - formatting doesn't copy to MFP from my Word doc. (Remember now - I have OCD! ) Just ignore the next post .....

    We're proud of you too Cheryl. I hope when I step on the scale tomorrow I will have lost at least one pound but I haven't been as active this week. But good for you, I know you work hard at it and you are almost always the first person to help someone else out. ~Karen

    Well I have lost quite a bit but as you can see last week wasn't so great as far as losing weight but the inches all around have dropped too. :bigsmile: I have quite a ways to go to get to 150 but seeing is believing and I'm going to keep on working at it. ~karen

    kjllose ! Great ! You and I are at about the same place - though I started weight loss at 195 - my highest was 207 a couple years ago.

    150, huh? How tall are you - if I may ask - I'm 5'8" and I'm shooting for 158 - I hope I'll be happy with that....but who knows, I have given myself a May 9 deadline.

    Good luck !

    You are doing so well kjllose. Congrats!
    I think you and I began this journey near the same time.


    I weigh in every day nearly because it helps me stay on track and motivated. I don't ever check in unless I have weighed 3 or more days in a row at the same weight. So today is the 3rd day in a row I have weighed 250. My beginning weight was 280.

    30lbs in three months. I am very excited. I am eating about 1400 calories a day and I walk.

    Jo, GREAT JOB!!! Can you believe it??? One pound... that is only 4 sticks of butter! I have this friend who used to always compare pounds to items of food, so it's a habit of mine. You are such an inspiration. :happy:

    I think that this is a perfect way to be accountable. I just joined recently and have not weighed again since. I am wanting to get back to my pre baby(s) weight. Right now I am at 150. Goal is 120.

    You are too funny!:laugh:
    Ok... so I have 4 sticks of butter to melt... gotcha:bigsmile:

    I hope my journey inspires some people.
    You have to stick to it in order to see results.

    I may gain a pound back today though... it's that time of month and I need chocolate.
    But it's OK... IT IS OK.
