    Weigh in time....

    Starting weight: 174.6
    Goal weight for May - Somewhere in the 160's.
    UGW- 150 (We will see from there.)

    May 3rd-174.6
    May 9th - 174.2
    May 15th - 173.3

    Down 1.3 lbs. It's now much, but at least it is in the right direction. Checking in weekly is really helping me keep on track.

    Weigh-in day!


    SW: (295 at my heaviest)
    CW: (250.5)
    GW: (240)

    Weigh in Dates:
    5/1 = 252.5
    5/7 = 251 (-1½ pounds)
    5/16 = 250.5 (-½ pound)
    5/22
    5/28
    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    Not the greatest loss this week since my diet had been questionable and very little running due to a hurt knee, but a ½ a pound is a ½ pound. I'll take it!

    I am out of this.... scale not being very friendly... I am breaking up with it for now and making friends with my tape measure...

    Ha! I came here to say something like this, but you took the words out of my mouth and made them even better! I mean, I've lost over an inch in the past month, but the scale went down 2 lb then back up 2 lb. Forget it. I'm going to weigh in on Sunday then put the scales away for a month and just use my tape measure!

    According to the scale i've only lost a few pounds. Some days I weigh close to the same as before picture.
