Katie, 12 lbs in September is an awesome loss! You'll get to that 50 lb mark soon.

Cary, you bet 6 lbs is a win!

Holly, argh! a pox on the scale. Glad to see that gung-ho attitude is back. Looking for a great October!

Mark, you got it. There are more than scale victories in this game. Bone definitions showing, should be on all our lists!

Malia, are we good? I shouldn't avoid walking out of my house to avoid a pineapple bombardment should I???

Dan, We are totally good! LOL! I'll save my pineapples for another day :devil:

Pineapples

Where I live, we peel the pineapples and put the skin in a pitcher with water for a couple of days... THE BEST!!!

Week4: 9/28/13 = 289.3

Logically I know there is no way I gained 2.9 pounds this week, especially when 2 days ago my scale showed a modest 2 lb loss. I know this is water weight. Between my hormones/TOM being out of whack for the last 4 months and the death of one the best guys I've ever known this week, surely this is just my stupid body overreacting.

Our bodies react in different ways to stress! Your scale reflects only a number not what's going on in your life. I think most women can understand how that works (more so then men because they don't get that bloated, painful, stab in the ovaries, reaction every month or so...) take care of your heart and mind and your body will follow soon!

My Numbers:
SW:286.8
CW: 271.2
GW: 273.8
LTGW: 160

Week 1: 09/09/13: 280.8
Week 2: 09/16/13: 277.2
Week 3: 09/23/13: 274.0
Week 4: 09/30/13: 271.2 (-2.8 lbs!)

I surpassed my goal weight for the month by 2.6 lbs and I couldn't be happier! It was difficult near the end with my birthday celebrations but I pushed myself in my workouts. Congratulations everybody! Bring on October!

September SW: 324.8 lb
September GW: 314 lb

Weigh-ins:
Week 1: 09/02/2013 - 324.4 lb
Week 2: 09/10/2013 - 321.6 lb
Week 3: 09/18/2013 - 319.4 lb
Week 4: 09/25/2013 - 316.6 lb
Final: 10/01/2013 - 315.8 lb

Not the result I was hoping for, but considering I dropped 2 pants sizes and a shirt size this month, I will still call it a win. This is fuel for October.

Whether you made your goal or not, GREAT JOB EVERYONE! The commitment to fitness and the willingness to work to attain it are what counts, and you've got it! I firmly believe that everything else will fall into place as long as those two aspects are there.
