6. Oohh, well my answers to this are going to be predictable I guess. The Christmas mark is a symbolic end-of-year goal, and there's another goal waiting in 2014. But I have parties and all sorts of fun things involving eating and drinking over the next coughcough 11 weeks coughcough, and I need that little bit of extra motivation to remind me not to make a pig of myself! And seeing all you guys checking in here every week keeps me on track - thank you all!0 -

The weight loss so far has been really minor, but I find my clothes fitting better and am starting to see a difference in my shape. So, yes, it has been helpful.

Thanks to everyone is this group and a special thanks to Mark for starting it!! Good luck to you all this week!!0 -
Hi everyone! Looks like some good reports this week!!!
1. 139.2
2. 1.4 lb GAIN; don't care - I knew last week's number was off, and I'm still below 140. First mini-goal met!!!
3. NSV: Completed my first week of c25k, which I picked up in Week 4. It's feeling doable!
4. Goals for next week:
a. Drop my weight loss rate to 0.5 lb/week, and really stick to my Net Calories. I've been allowing myself to cheat with a 1.0 lb/week setting, which has clearly been working, but time to tighten the discipline.
b. Try to stick to no alcohol on "school" nights (failed last night)... instead I get cookies, which is not so much of a sacrifice as it is a trade.
c. Make frozen meal kits for dinners, since weeknight meals are still a challenge.
d. REMEMBER THE TWENTY MINUTE RULE: After eating a reasonable portion, wait twenty minutes (drink some water, tidy the kitchen) to do a hunger check. See if I really need to eat more, or if I just WANT to. If I need seconds after that, go ahead. (Repeat rule after eating seconds before jumping to thirds!)
5. Only 4.2 lbs to go!!! I'm into the final stretch, which they say is the toughest. Well, no... the toughest is the first step, really... getting started and making the commitment. Hmm. Well, thinking of it that way, I guess the hard part is over. If I break the inertia and get started (and I did!), finishing is certainly possible.
6. This group has helped me so much. Thank you all for being so open, honest, and giving of your time and your experience. We've seen some shocking results here, and I am humbled by the level of commitment of so many. I've learned some really great stuff (like what the c25k is!). I can't wait to see what unfolds in the coming 11 weeks. Keep on keepin' on, y'all!!!0 -
1. 199 lbs (Hello Onederland!!!)
2. 1.2 lbs lost
3. NSV: Got my mile time down to 11:22. It was at about 13. Just have to shave 2:22 off that time to be content with my pace.
4. Goal: Do more strength training! I've been doing lots of Cardio, but since slacking on the strength training, I've lost fewer inches.
5. 19 lbs to go!! It actually seems doable.
6. Love having a group where we all have the same goal. The weekly check ins are AWESOME. This group has made my overall goal of 70 lbs weight loss seem much more realistic and attainable. Everyone in the group is super supportive as well. No meanies like in other groups. This group has really helped me stay focused. Love ya guys!0 -
1. 166
2. 0 lb
3. NSV: I was called "skinny" this last week... I'm in no way skinny but felt good to hear it
4. Goal: Focus on food... the rest will follow
5. 26 lbs to go by Christmas-- ugh!0 -
1. Current weight: 141.1
2. Weight lost since last week: -1.90
3. NSV : I now have to put my favorite jeans in the dryer instead of “hang drying” them! May seem like a little thing but I haven’t been able to do that in AGES!
4. Goals for next week: Try not to go overboard on the weekend (Darn alcohol...)
5. Weight to go by Christmas 16.1 stubborn pounds!
6. This group has definitely been helpful! It keeps me motivated and accountable (which is something I desperately needed!) I also feel inspired by reading everyone else’s accomplishments and know if I just stick with it I’ll be able to hit my first goal. Thanks Mark for getting us all together!! :flowerforyou:0 -
1. Current weight Yeah.... No!:bigsmile:
2. Weight lost since last week: 2.4 lbs
3. Other accomplishment or NSV (non scale victory) for the week: Visited old co-workers and they were so surprised at my appearance to the point of making me uncomfortable.... [Only been 26 lbs]
4. Goals for next week: Just hanging out.... finished Insanity last week... gonna start Focus T25 on Monday! Oh Yeah!
5. weight to go by Christmas: 26.5 lbs and counting...
6. In the next weeks I'd like to see great progress in weight loss and toning all the way :laugh:0 -
I'm not even sure how much I'm down from last week... I was down to 165, then up to 168, then back to 165. My weight is cll over the place the last few weeks but my clothes are growing and I'm feeling good so that's the most important thing!
Hoping to lose 15 more lbs by Christmas to put me at 150 even...I can do it!0 -

You are all doing really awesome! Way to go!
I have been too scared to look at the scale
I have been a total slob all week, just eating whatever I feel like! (AKA 7 cookies?!)
I hope to really kick it into gear now and get back on track TODAY even if I did eat 7 cookies!
You guys really motivate me!0 -
