Last 10lbs Group - March Challenges

Weigh-in day for me! 160 today--down from 162. This is, however, the most I've weighed all week (I've been consistently at 158.8 for most of the week) so I feel like some of this is water weight. 158.8 is probably more accurate, BUT since 160 is what I weighed this morning, this is the number I'm posting.

Great job on the loss!

Happy Friday!

Drank all my water yesterday and exercised, so I am still on track! :drinker: :drinker: Should we make Monday our day to report on last weeks success on "March Challenges"?

It has been an eye opener for me to put the day's water in one jug and just make sure to have finished it for the day. Easier than counting and I can't fool myself. Today is weigh-in day and I am up a pound after my 5 days of travels and celebrations. :noway: Not too surprising I guess. Back at it now! It was Bunko night last night and there was all fat and salt laden snacks - not even 1 healthy option :grumble: ) I might be retaining a little extra water after that. Excuses, Excuses....

I've been doing great all week. Gone to the gym every day, drank all my water and stayed away from bad treats! Even today with the doughnuts and cinnamon rolls that were at work in the teacher's lounge. I didn't even WANT any of it! YES!

Everyone is doing great! Keep it up!

Hi! My name is Julie and I've been lurking on this thread for a bit, but have decided to update my profile and get more involved. I'm in the same boat as many on here. I had my second baby in June and am trying to lose the last bit of baby (belly!) weight. I would be thrilled with a ten pound lost, and ecstatic with 15. Anyway, I am interested in joining your challenge and also making fitness buddies to help keep me motivated.

Weigh in: up 1/2 pound, bummer but i will chalk it up to TOM. hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi all, hope everyone's friday's going well. Unfortunately, I didnt' get a chance to weigh myself, so I'll let you all know on Monday. Yesterday, I had pizza I caved in because of stress, no excuses, but that's why and today I am actually doing ok. It's just working out that's hard to think about doing. I ran 5 miles on wednesday, play raquetball for like an hour yesterday, now I might go for a run aftr work or the elliptical...I don't want to do either one, but I know I have to :grumble:

Is your puppy a german short hair???

Sometimes it's the most random things that make you realise that what you're doing is actually having an effect...

I have almost got my wedding ring resized over the past 3-4 months because it was so tight on my finger, I could only get it on and off with the help of moisturizer, and even then it wasn't that easy!

Today sitting at my desk fiddling with my rings I realised I can slide them off easily without any special aid!

Weird to think of your fingers losing weight but hey, I'll take it!

March 1st! Woohoo! Okay, so the scale hasn't moved at all! I decided to take out the tape measure. I have lost 4 inches in my waist! If that isn't proof that what I am doing is working...I don't know what is!

My challenge for March-NO MORE EXCUSES! No excuse to skip a workout, no excuse to over eat! It is easy to find an excuse for anything.....I am not going to look for any this month!

Good weekend - still not getting enough water...I will do it today!

Good freaking god! I have been stuck at 149 for the last couple weeks and it has been driving me crazy and then all of a sudden today the scale was down to 147! FINALLLLLLY! Geeze! Can I get an AMEN in here!!!!

AMEN!:drinker:

Weigh in day.

I changed my profile pic so the axes stretches forward to my goal date. The weight loss trend line (light blue) is still on target, but it wont stay that way without movement soon.

I've been at the same weight for 15 days (except one day when I put on 1 kg, but that came straight off the next day).
I did lose almost 0.75" from my waist in that time, but I can see from my profile pic that for the last 3 weeks I've been much less attentive than I was during the first 4 weeks. This is obvious since the red line is generally less steep and less consistent.

Obviously my success so far has made me a bit lazy. I need to renew my efforts if I want to get that last 10lb.

Yesterday was the first day of Autumn (fall) here, and its suddenly getting cold. SO... I need to start changing my diet to warming foods. I didn't do this quick enough and found myself munching on crap to keep warm (I get cold now that I have less padding).

Anyway, I haven't fallen, just stalled a bit. And I've noticed it, so hopefully I'll get back into gear.

This part is seriously tougher than the first bit!

gained .5 pound but lost in inches. i ran 7.5 miles yesterday and still gained!
