Week 7, "H20" Lose 20 Pounds by Halloween Challenge.

Today's my weigh-in day, and I'm down three pounds to 183.6! This is my lowest weight for the year, and I'm realizing I'm sneaking up on my lowest logged weight ever of 178. It's a great day!

April, enjoy that walk of yours.

iluvwdw - you didn't gain, so that's an accomplishment. I think maintaining means you're doing things right. Keep on truckin', and get some sleep!

zenzoes - can't wait to see pictures from your haunt! I go to Knott's Berry Farm Halloween Haunt every year, so I'm excited to see what you guys come up with!

Thanks Pink! Everyone is doing well on their weight! I feel good about my eating today so that is something. Got to get my sleeping back on track though - that will help with the weight loss.

Doggies are so cute!! I love them too and want one - just not sure my baby Sylvester would think that is a cool thing!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Well done everyone

I have been making some shocking food choices and I have had no sleep as I have a teething baby

I kicked myself up the butt today though and have done the shred this morning and I shall walk for a few hours later, may calm the baby down as well.

Not feeling confident for my next weigh in though.

Whether you are losing, or maintaining
or water-weight gaining, you are all doing great!
Joining this website and the H2O group, I'm pretty sure it was fate!
We each have our ups and each have our downs
and we came to you from all sorts of towns, but we're here for you all,
And here it is now, Thank goodness it's that time, it's officially fall!

>insert cheesiness now<

Keep it up everyone I weigh in again tomorrow, but I peaked at the scale today, man I hope it stays for tomorrow!! Ta-ta for now

Love it

Clothing victory today!

I've got a pair of size 12 jeans that was only able to fit into once or twice in late summer of 2008. I kept them as my skinny jeans, determined to one day get back into them. I've been using them as a tester, seeing how my progress is coming along.

I wore them today! In public, walking around multiple, sitting, standing, eating...it was all good! I'm so happy with myself. I was feeling good seeing the number on the scale go down, but I'm feeling GREAT realizing that my body really is changing.

*riding the high*

:drinker: YAY!!! That's wonderful!!!

I'm hoping by Christmas I'll be in a comfy 14, I'm getting there.


Well, my scale told me a secret :blushing: ... it said I'm 201.4 :bigsmile: Woot Woot!! I've lost 6.4lbs since joining the group, I think I'll make it to my 10lbs by Halloween, we'll see what happens :drinker:

Glad you liked the poem, I was bored, lol

Happy Week 7!

The last couple weeks I have been MIA, I was traveling around the country a lot so I missed a couple weigh ins but I still kept with my exercising and TRIED to eat healthy. It is so hard when you go home to visit the family and they bombard you with home cooking! I love it and hate it at the same time.

Starting weight week one- 172
Weight week 7- 159

13 lbs down so far! Wow feels so good to type that. I got on the scale this morning at it said 159 I was so happy because I finally got to say goodbye to the 60's. It is such a good feeling when you hit a new number and for me I can say I will never see a one sixty something number again! I love it!

Wowzers, you're so going to make your goal!!

While I love being able to breathe a sigh of relief when TOM comes to town (not that I don't want kids, it is just that having a bun in the oven scares the Grilled Cheesus out of me, and I know nobody is ever actually READY for a kid, but, anyhoo...) I just have that overall icky feeling right now. The cramping, the bloating, the emo rollercoster (I found myself getting teary while watching a video of a Halloween parade at Disneyland because I want so badly to be one of those performers, even though I can't dance and I sooo don't fit into the costumes).

Even through the throes of TOM, one of our friends/groomsmen who we hadn't seen for a couple months said the first second he saw me "Wow, you're melting away! J, I may have to borrow your wife for a while." That made me , especially when I asked my hubby that night if he'd mentioned anything to the friend about my efforts and he said no. So I was .


I'm so amazed at everyone's progress. We've already got two people who have reached the 20 pound goal, and many who are so close. You guys are such great inspiration. *group hug*
