Week 6, "H20" Lose 20 Pounds by Halloween Challenge.

**AWESOME FUN UPDATE**
I added a CafePress store to the H20 website!! You can proclaim your H20 pride to the world with a t-shirt, tote bag, mug, mouse pad, and more!
If you've got a design (that you lawfully created) that you'd like to add to the H20 design gallery, send me a message and I'll give you my email addy and I'll add it.
Since I don't think it would be fair for any one person to keep the 10% earned from each sale, I think whatever proceeds that come in should be donated to a charity. Anyone have one they vote for?
OK so **UPDATE** to the update. I may not complete the payment process for CafePress. I can sign up as a non-profit, but need a tax ID and such. Or I enter in my personal SSN and I'll have to account for taxes. So unless I figure out how we'd get a tax ID, I think I'll just let CafePress keep all the profits and we can just enjoy custom items for our awesome selves! This just means we won't get money in to donate to a charity.0 -

I haven't posted in awhile. I've been really sick. I wish the weather would make up its mind what its going to do, either cold or hot. I didn't weigh in last week but I gained quite a bit since I wasn't eating right and not exercising. I'm back with it now and trying to workout even though I have to stop quite a few times for my coughing.
Week 1: 194
Week 2: 192.2
Week 3: 191
Week 4: 189
Week 5:?
Week 6: coming up0 -

I would like to welcome the newbies. I hope you enjoy the group as much as we do.
Pinky, that's such a cool idea. I love how you thank.
Well my week didn't start off the greatest but its getting better. I have faith the end of the week I will be back on task. I really need to get serious. My anniversary is in just 19 days. Ill be married for 2 years. I'm excited about our upcoming pictures.
I'm debating on going to get my nails done tomorrow. Just something nice to do for myself. I've had a stressful couple weeks. Time to get back on track. I feel the best I have in a couple weeks. TOM still hasn't showed up. Gonna take another test really soon.
I would like to say how I love that mfp has brought a majority of us close. I've made some great friendships thanks to mfp and this group.
Good night everyone.0 -
So not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in.........After my "guilt free" weekend.....I just checked to see what my weight was last week and I'm not happy with the change. It's gone in the wrong direction. I'm still clinging to the hope that it's just water weight so the plan today is 15 glasses of water....LOL and my daily movements but......we'll have to see. At best, I'm hoping to maintain!!!!
So now the real work begins!!!!0 -
Well, I manged to LOSE ONE of the SIX pounds Ive gained over the past 3 weeks. And of course TOM showed up. That explains why Ive been soo *****y lately. And I just havent felt like doing anything.. Like I feel right now. I just wanna veg. Lol but im gonna try not to. I have some house work that REALLY needs to be done. hehe.. My being sick over the past few weeks has made more work for me house work wise.. Ive let it go for a while because I just havent felt up to it. And you cna tell..
I hate having a messy house. I just havent had any energy. Blah.. On a good note, I did treat myself to a set of nails. They are a peachish orange for fall.. Gotta figure out to color im gonna get in 2 weeks. Because the fallowing week is when we get our pictures done. Maybe french manicure? Ill think about it! 0 -

Today's weigh-in day for me. Came in at 186.6. That's a pound up from last week. Phooey - but expected. I was really off the wagon for three days last week with both food and exercise. It shows!0

I promise I'm around, just super busy creating new things, for those of you on fb, I'm sure you've seen them..
Keep going everyone!!!

Thanks for the encouragement, April. I'm not going to worry about it too much. I made hubby get on the scale to do a little cross-referencing and it was reporting a higher than normal number for him. And when I got on the WiiFit tonight, it reported a lower weight than I was last week. I never get the same weight from the Wii as the bathroom scale (Wii is consistently about 2 lbs. heavier).
So that is a big batch of WTF?!, but I'm going to just move on. Did 30 minutes of Free Run and 12 minutes of Free Step, so yay! Dusted those knees off. 0 -
Yesterday I was nervous about today's weigh in. Last week I was at 243.2. Today 243.5 - so a 0.2 lb gain. But I'll take it as part of my learning experience about how not to have a fun weekend....food food and more food.
Goal for next week is to lose what I gained this week plus another two. Going to keep up with the extra water for another week and continue taking the dogs for a walk and working on the video I'm doing...I say doing very lightly.....0 -
Ok I didn't weigh in yesterday I forgot, so here it is.
My weight as of Aug 31 was 206.8
Sept 26 - 202.
Week 6 - Sept 29 - 201.52
loss - 10.08/20 9.92 to go
goal for my bd 190 - 11.52 to go0 -
Ok I am VERY brain dead due to three hours sleep :yawn: I was confused because my home page says 24 lbs lost and my ticker said 25! I didn't know if I truly reached it or not until I look up my stats for weigh in. I forgot that I still need to lose .5 lb to reach my first 25 lbs. :frown:
So no jumping for joy YET. Hopefully tomorrow I will have reached my first 25 lbs. :drinker: Didn't weigh in yet and have eaten already so will wait for tomorrow.0 -
Weighed in yesterday. 143! It's coming off slowly, but at least it's coming off.0

Didnt realize that I posted earlier on "week 5's" week so here I am updating for this week......
Been out in and out of town lately but I do have updates....
Went in to Dr's for my follow up and was in total shock! I mean total shock!! I asked his assistant to look again to make sure she was looking at the numbers correctly but there it was...I lost 7 pounds of fat! 3.5 pounds in weight and have brought my BMI from 47.1 down to 43.2. I still wouldnt have believed it if my hubby wasnt in there with me! I just stood there in awe of these numbers...I am like there is no way!! I am only 12.2 pounds away from my Halloween goal! I am on the right track and even though I am still in shock I am sooo proud of myself.....Still need encouragement though so please stop by my page and drop me a line

Its been a difficult week for me food wise. Not good choices but still under my goal. always over on sugar.... hmm..... Did manage to get in a LONG walk yesterday and some cleaning today at the office, hopefully that will count for something! I will try my best to drink water more, I really need to get off these coke zero's... Ive had like 6 today. :-(0

I keep trying to talk my DS into moving there. But he's a teen and I don't want to pull him out of high school. I hate the winters here though. We have been to WDW in Fl twice now. I keep telling DS we should go to Disney in Cali to see the weather there. He's a no go! Die hard WDW fan.
I sooo want to go to DIsney for the Free Dining next summer. I could go for two weeks for other trips that have been 10 days~ :drinker: Now that's a reason to go!!!
Did I mention most of my REAL reason for wanting to get into shape is so that I can walk around disney pain free and for long periods of time without hassle? I refuse to do Disney in a wheelchair. Fat nor Fibro will take my Disney away from me!! Well also I want to be healthy so I can work enough to pay for a trip once a year!!! :bigsmile:
Keep that shed clear for me, you just never know. LOL
I will check out the article. Thanks for posting. Gosh I wish I lived closer to the magic.
On a side note, I had a huge cheat day, running around, no food, starving, craving junk, so had KFC for supper. Was soo wanting french fries, but had poutine, well why not go all the way, right. and I added a snacker sandwich. Couldn't have a big one since I had poutine. It was really good and hit the spot but felt like I did something really wrong after. There goes my half pound into probably up by one or two. So here I sit at 12:49 am and am walking for an hour to combat some of my errors. :grumble: Next time, I will stick to o ne thing on cheat day and a small thing!0 -

I'm in too. I started on August 29th at 217. I weigh "officially" on Saturday mornings, but occasionally throughout the week to check where I am before/after specific workouts and after meals when i feel uncomfortable. Last weigh in on September 25th I was 198. 19 Down, 23 to go. I could live at 180, but I really wanna hit 175. Can't do 20 by Halloween, but I'd love to be 188 by then. Lets do it.0

Fantastic loss, congrats! For the pumpkin icon I'm pretty sure you have the code right, just need to make the IMG part all lower-case letters. 0 -
weighed in yesterday and I'm now.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.., (<thats my drumroll :laugh: )
202.6 :drinker:
FInally going in the right direction!!!
Now my next step... 'ONE'derland!!!
SW 207.8
Wk 2: 205.8
Wk 3: 204.8
Wk 4: 204.8
Wk 5: 204
Wk 6: 202.6
Thats a 5.2 difference. I originally said I was wanting to lose between 10-15lbs instead of the full 20, so I'm not too far off from my goal, as long as I don't have another 3weeks of massive sodium issues!!
Keep up the good work everyone. I'm still around, mainly as a lurker while I keep up on real life orders *hugs*0 -
