Let's get out there and knock it straight out of the park! I'm so ready, are YOU???

Hello all, New here. First time in a group. Been doing mfp for 2 weeks now so I'm here to stay.
C.W 267 lbs
Weight loss since last week, 5 lbs
Did my first aerobics video, only 1 mile in 20 min, but big for me
Do 2 aerobic videos twice a day x 3, walk 2 miles a day for 4 days, eat no calories back(just me)
Lose 30 more pounds by X-mas, When I do I will be back to a weight I was 20 years ago/ then only 20 lbs to first goal of 220lbs

1. Current weight (optional) --More than it needs to be....we'll go with a size 16 pants
2. weight lost since last week --I havent weighed myself since 8/27- and I have certainly gained since then
3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week --I stayed under my calorie goal yesterday and I have been working out 3x a week for 3 weeks. I want to make sure this continues.
4. Goals for next week --lose 3 pounds (I will weigh myself in the morning so I can accurately track), stay under calorie goal each day, work out 4x per week
5. weight to go by Christmas--lose 30 pounds!...if the weight, however, wants to be a jerk, then I would love to lose 2 pants sizes

So I'll start to discuss NSV's.

I HATE burpees. I have no upper body strength, and I honestly feel pretty stupid jumping all over the place with my shirt flying abouts. Well, I have attempted boxing several times, and each time somthing takes me away from it (family, sickness, finances...)

Anyway, since I have been back the last few weeks, I told myself I was going to conquer this feat. I have made myself do the burpees, punches, pushups, etc. I feel like my strength is increasing. I feel strong! The burpees aint as bad. They still suck. My shoulders are finally feeling like they should. I feel great!

My turning point was a photo of myself a few weeks ago at my sons bday party I saw a pic of my arms and was like EEEWWW.

So, if I can get my strength and arm fat and stomach fat under control by CHRISTMAS then I will be stoked. Getting my strength up will only benefit my weight loss goals!!!

Current weight: 10 13lb (153 lbs) YES! BYE BYE 11 STONE-SOMETHINGS!

Weight lost: 1 lb again! I am loving MFP! (6 lbs loss since I joined - unprecedented!)

NSV: Had a whole week where I didn't go over my calorie goal once!

Goals for next week: One more pound ... and then one more pound ...

Weight to go by Christmas: 11 pounds (making me 10 stone 2)

You guys are keeping me accountable ... and you're all doing really well still posting on here and going for it!

1. Current weight 182
2. weight lost since last week: 2 lbs
3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week: okay, this is definitely a SCALE victory--I hit 100 lbs lost this week! Also, I bought a bicycle today. It's not an expensive one, since I haven't been on a bike in 30 years. We'll see how THAT goes. Lol.
4. Goals for next week: lose 2 lbs (and re-learn how to ride a bike)
5. weight to go by Christmas: 22 lbs.

Wow, everyone is doing such a great job - y'all are truly an inspiration to me!

So.... this week (and last) are why I weigh every day, and as a result am reluctant to fully trust the scale, which this week reports:

1. CW = 137.8
2. Weight lost = 5.2 lbs (uh, yeah... I DON'T THINK SO!)
3. NSV = last night as I begrudgingly did my 15 minute jog, I was shocked to find myself at my half-way point so quickly! AND the whole jog only took 13 minutes. It's working... I'm getting better at this!
4. GOAL = I decided to pick up the c25k program... starting in week 5, I think it is. I'm close to my goal weight/body shape now, so want to re-vamp my exercise routine to something that doesn't consume all of my free time. It's still going to consume most of it, I'm afraid, but that's just the way of living a healthy, active lifestyle.
5. Weight to go until Elf Status = 2.8 (again, if we can believe the scale today)

Last week the scale told me I weighed 143.0 on Wednesday... my high in quite awhile. Today is the lowest weight I've seen in years. I've been doing well on my hydration, but I know that last week I was retaining water (Tuesday dinner was sushi (i.e., soy sauce) and THREE Saporos). Last night (all of yesterday, really), I ate well and didn't consume as much sodium as usual (skipped the pretzel snack!). So in one week I'm seeing two extremes. What's my real weight? Don't know, don't care much. Tummy is looking better, butt is considerably less flappy. All good!

Hey guys and girls!! I haven't had a great week. Life is very stressful right now but I'm trying not to let it bring me down. I only got in 3 workouts this week. Here's to a better week !! Congrats to you all on your weight loss and if no loss keep your head up, We can do this!!
