12/8 Weigh In - ONE WEEK LEFT!

Options
We're so close to finishing this challenge! What can we accomplish in our final week?

09/15 SW: 184.0
09/22: 182.4
09/29: 182.4
10/06: 180.8
10/13: 181.2
10/20: 180.0
10/27: 178.8
11/03: 179.8
11/10: 178.4
11/17: 180.6
11/24: 179.0 *weighed in on 11/25 that week*
12/01: 177.8
12/08 CW: 175.4

12/15 GW: 170.0

This week's loss: -2.4
Total loss: -8.6

Realistically, I'm not going to hit my goal of 170, but if I could get to 174.0 and make this an even 10 pounds lost for the challenge, that would be incredible. This coming week is finals week for me though, so my focus is really going to be on school and not on weight loss. If it happens, great, but even if I don't lose an ounce this week, I'm viewing this challenge as a success. I've actually done a lot better than I thought I would!

    Since there's only a few of us left, we can extend it another week if anyone's interested & end on the 22. Good luck on your finals!

    That's fine with me. It can be a 97 day challenge instead of a 90 day one. =) I like Saturday check-ins, because my "real" weigh in day is Friday, so this kind of forces me to behave myself Friday/Friday night.

    The extension sounds good to me too, especially since I am not even close to my challenge gw. I'll be back on Monday, after I am weighed in.

    YAY and congrats to those who lost this week!

    9/15 Challenge starting Weight : 279
    12/15 Goal Weight: 255
    Current weight: 258

    Lost: 21 pounds.

    I have 3 more pounds to lose to reach my goal. I think it is possible. I will still strive to hit that goal by the 15th. I will also join you all in the 1 week extension and strive to lose an additional pound to make it an even 25 pound loss.

    SW 9/15 = 220
    9/22 = 222. :(
    9/29 = 220
    10/06 = 215 yay!
    10/13 = 215 :(
    10/20 = 216.6. Oh no!
    10/27 = 213.6 yay!
    11/03 = 217.2. BOO!!!
    11/10 = 215.4. :)
    11/17 = 214.0. Slowly moving downward ...
    11/24 = 213.6 creeping down
    12/01 = 211.0 trending better ...
    12/08 = 209.4 woo hoo, under 210! My goal is getting closer!

    Goal weight = 199 for challenge

    I guess success can be had from the simple fact that I have almost made it through the holiday season and I haven't GAINED weight for the first time in 10 years!!! I've lost over 11 pounds in the last 83 days. We'll see what another 7 days brings.

    I'm in for as long as people keep checking in. =) I don't have really any false hope that I'll be losing much/any weight over the next three weeks, but these check ins will hopefully give me one more tiny little push to keep on track- or at least more on track than I've ever been before in December!

    Big congrats to those who lost! I forgot to log my weight here yesterday. I lost two pounds! YAY! I've been struggling with eating healthy and it's shown by the up and down of the scales lately. Just gotta get through the next few weeks and I am golden again.

    I am in for NYE too. My trainer told me to just focus on maintaining through the holidaze, but, at 202, I am too close LOL

    Keep focused everyone, we can do this!
