    I do the same thing, eat good for a few days then cheat, or eat too much or eat sweets-my real downfall. I usually don't gain, only maintain so will never get to my goal weight. I need to be strict for a few weeks in a row to get to my goal weight and then maintain.
    I need will power to stay away from the sweet treats!

    it's great to see the spreadsheet. thanks for doing it!
    this is confirming i'm on track for weight loss. i've never been a consistent watcher of the Biggest loser or any other weight loss show. I know an avg is 2-3 pounds but it seems so low. seeing the other's weight loss amounts is confirming, for me, that i'm on track.

    Got my exercise in this morning. Boy these early mornings are hard to get up at 4:30 a.m. so that I can get to the gym by 5:00 a.m. But when I get there I am good and I feel so much better all day when I get the exercise done. It's just getting up and getting ready to go. :smile:

    That is awesome!! I have been getting up early as well and while I don't like getting up early...at all...I really love having it done and feeling free for the rest of the day. Anything more I do is just extra and that feels so good!

    Feeling low today.The scale is being brutal today. I feel like I gain and lose the same pound over and over again. I go up to 177 than get back down to 176. I haven't gotten any lower than that in a month. I'm gonna keep going but it really does get discouraging sometimes. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if I'm just in a plateau.

    I hope everyone else is having better luck than I am myself!

    Hi All
    Hope you are doing well.
    A loss of 2lbs this week so now 236lbs
    I met the Don't cheat at the weekend challenge, but I have an arm injury so my workouts were curtailed - Did manage to run a bit further though :)

    Have a good rest of week, will be back Friday to get the next challenge

    So far so good this week. Weight is coming back down from the weekend. Just about where I was on Friday. Sticking to the workout plan, did the treadmill yesturday, and today I did 3 circuts of Jillian's No More Trouble Zones. Might even get in an extra walk this afternoon with a friend. Supper isnt so healthy tonight - sweet and sour meatballs with rice - but I guess moderation right - but its hard when they are so yummy

    Okay everyone! Here is the spreadsheet for this week! Had some awesome losses. You guys are doing wonderfully. Some of you did not weigh in. I just wanted to remind you that if you do not weigh in for 3 consecutive weeks I will drop you from the challenge.

    As for the biggest losers this week, instead of just using the amount of pounds lost I calculated the percent of body weight lost, as suggested by renaegry. This makes it more fair because people who are only trying to lose 5-10 pounds would have never been able to make it into the biggest losers. For those of you who didn't lose this week,like myself, or gained I did not calculate your percentage for this week.So here are the biggest losers:

    2.09%-SunshineGRL76
    2.57%-soaps54
    2.7%-lambing05
    2.84%-KenSmith108
    4.59%- mindy_moorehead

    Congratulations to you guys!Awesome work this week!

    As for the mini-challenge this week or should I say challenges. Your first challenge is to work out a part of your body that you dislike working out.For me, that is definitely my arms. For others it could be cardio or legs.

    I decided to have another challenge because of something I have been going through lately. I find I do amazing all week and then binge Friday,Saturday,and Sunday. Then I spend the rest of the week getting of those binge pounds. So I lose the same 2 pounds over and over again. I always have a cheat day on the weekends but it shouldn't be three days!Also I shouldn't go crazy! So my challenge for everyone is to stay under your goal amount of calories at least 2 out of 3 days next weekend.

    As for these mini-challenges, feel free to suggest something you would like to see as a challenge. I have no problem taking suggestions!If you guys need anything at all you are more than welcome to shoot me a message either on my account or just leave a comment on this page. I check it frequently.

    Good luck to all this week!

    Urgh, I know what you're talking about. The last 2 weeks, I've been really good 5 days out of 7 and the last 2, I binged :(( I'm not having a good week so far but I am going to try to be good for the rest of the week and make it up to myself :)

    Good luck to everybody!
