Well done on your loss this week Clarita and special congratulations fro breaking into the "healthy weight" range.
I also accept your challenge.
This morning i braved the cold and walked to work (12 mins) but other than walking home again later it's a rest day for me0 -
181.2 :sad:
I don't know what's going on. Except for Thanksgiving I had a really good week. That means I am up 10 pounds from my lowest weight in May. I really was back on the horse with everything this week. I should not be up.
Hi cmpettey, I'm sorry about your frustration How can I and we support you? hugs
Thank you! I think I found the probable cause of the gain. I started my period this morning. Hoping for a loss next week. As for the challenge, it's on! Great challenge!0 -
i messed up the formula in my damn spreadsheet LOL...Clarita is our biggest loser of the week still but she is also the biggest loser overall to date NOT Mary...sorry girls...i think i fixed the formulas for all the rows going forward...i'm not going to update the chart here but if you want to look at it you can at....
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmsRzs_p1FWddGFsd0hid2tzbGpkOGZZaUJPM25lNmc#gid=0here's this week's chart....
Clarita was our biggest loser this week with a 2.5% loss
Mary is our biggest loser to date with a 2.9% total loss
Denise, Sara and Crystal also posted losses.....Jill has not reported in for 2 weeks so i will continue to carry her forward from last week and then next week if she doesnt report into the thread i'll drop her from the sheet - dont want her "lack of progress" during the challenge to skew our numbers....to those that maintained or even posted a gain, hang in there....the fact that each of us is being diligent in our task to make our bodies better is an overall better reward than losses in my book...although losses rock too
Clarita I also saw you post that you and your dr have determined you are in your healthy range...that is awesome...an amazing accomplishment....so happy for you....can you give us a challenge this week???0 -
Today I walked to work and home (in the rain! gasp!) and took a 60 minute cardio barre class (that burns!). I'm having big trouble with IBS right now so I pray that goes away.0

I've been at 176 all week after Thanksgiving and Birthday festivities, so this is actually a loss for me. Not for the challenge, but for me! Keep on chuggin'!0 -
Hey all - I am so sorry to be absent from this whole thread like this. I am going through a really really really rough time in my life. I am just beginning the processes of divorce, and so I am changing all my logins and passwords and all that great stuff you do to grieve a loss and protect yourself. It's hell, but it is helping me curb the weight.
Thank you for putting up with me and being patient. I am so sorry I am not a regular contributor to this group. My life and job are just so complicated right now.
Thanks for you continued support! But I DID WEIGH IN TODAY!!!!

Unfortunately it has been a bad exercise week for me but I have at least walked every day and I've been putting up my Christmas decorations so I'm definitely moving, lifting, climbing ladders, etc. more because of that.0 -
