    Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Congrats to those of you who have lost weight!! You are all such an inspiration and great motivation to me. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Oh, this past weekend (plus Monday) was terrible for me - well, not altogether terrible, as you'll see shortly - but, I didn't have a chance to keep track of things here over the past three days or so. Because of that, I let things slide. I didn't officially exercise and I ate things I more than likely shouldn't have and more of them than I probably should have.

    However, I think my mind and body perhaps needed that little break from the routine I'd gotten into since being here. (I've been on this site for three full weeks now, this is the start of my fourth). Because, even though things didn't go well over the weekend + yesterday, I still got on the scale this morning ( even though I wasn't really ready to face the "damage" I may have done) and lo and behold... I still managed to lose weight!! Don't ask me how, I have no idea. Maybe I didn't go over on my calories as much as I'd thought? Maybe it's my metabolism? I really don't know.

    Anyway, start of my fourth week - I'm down 10 lbs!! AND, I've already reached my Christmas goal - to be under 200 lbs - a week early! I started out at 210 and am now at 199.8! Yay!!! :bigsmile:

    I seem to be on the exact same track as mom_luk. Started this about 6 wks ago. Lost 5 lbs in the first 2 wks and then went on a 3 wk work/vacation and gained 3.5lbs. It has been hard getting back into the swing of things after eating and drinking what I wanted to on vacation. Thing is I weighed in 6 lbs less after this so-so week. I attribute it to the fact that I overate on vacation and just plain haven't been hungry lately (although it's coming back now unfortunately). I also think I exercised more than I thought I did on vacation with surfing, hiking, walking all over town instead of just sitting at my desk, and my metabolism was higher upon returning. Plus, the Latin culture takes their big meal at lunch with a small dinner which doesn't fit into my schedule very well here. Not sure how deal with that. So here it is so far.

    Start 182.5
    2 wks - 177.5
    3 wks - off
    12/10 - 181.0
    12/17 - 175.0
    Goal by May 150.0
    Goal by September 140.0

    I just posted on Friday that I seemed to have overcome my plateau & lost two more pounds. I decided to take my measurements again this morning and I am PROUD to say that I have lost 21 inches total since I started measuring on 11/17! My weight this morning was 195.6 and that puts me at a total loss of 43 pounds since mid September:drinker:

    Hi Cheryl, I don't enter any housework or normal everyday stuff in the exercise column because it would take forever and essentially I'm lazy that way. But for the last week I've had kids home so we are doing more physical things that don't get entered. This week when I post my weight I expect another drop because I have been doing my boss's job and that's stressful at times. I can't find time to eat because I have been doing bus maintenance between 2 back to back runs for a total of 4 runs a day for a week. I was so tired yesterday I didn't bother to enter my food here. Oh yeah on top of that there is the Christmas baking to do and this morning is Saturday and it felt good to sleep in but I have to be on the road at 11 am est to go north for the day. So I really guess I'm not eating all my calories, somedays I don't even know how to enter such things as put crosslinks on chains to bus # 3. LOL I just don't think I will find it in the database. It's nice to sit hear and have:drinker: with a fellow mfper. So Cheryl, you need to go into bus maintenance and it's better if you do that where there is alot of snow, it makes you work harder and you shiver more and voila!, you burn off calories right and left lol. Well gotta go get ready to roll. ~Karen I'll post on Monday if I think of it.

    On 12/18 I was 195.6 & 193.8 today. Definately going to keep up with the Pilates & Hip Hop Abs. I'm gonna try Turbo Jam after the holidays. Switching things up exercise wise does work!

    Merry Christmas All! May all of your wishes come true:drinker:

    I'm all about the accountability so here it goes...
    I'm not sure the exact date I started but the weight was 166 pounds mid October
    Currently I'm at 143 HOWEVER that weight loss in a short amount of time was kick started by a very stressful event which I don't recommend as a weight loss method :noway:
    Anyway, my goal weight is 115 which is what I was before I gained the weight
    I look at it on a weekly basis though with a goal of losing 2 lbs a week

    WEll all I have not been on for about a week. Haven't been real strict with myself. So I was shocked this morning when I checked and I was down 1 lb. It isn't much but I was very happy and relieved. So my current weight is 244. From Aug. at 280.

    Great job everyone and keep it up.
