Well... this week didn't go as expected. I've been sick almost all week and for a day didn't eat the way I usually do
However, I did lose 0.5 inches from my waits, 1 from my lower abdomen and 1 from my hips!!!
I have two more weeks to lose 5 pounds and get to my goal weight for October!!0 -

Met one goal already: fit in a single airplane seat for the first time in years. Okay the neighbor did try to push the armrest down between us, but couldn't because it wasn't up. I was still touching her though (under the armrest) but she was nice about it.
Not sure if the new management smiles on costumes at work, very "professional" but with a sense of fun, so maybe... Am thinking of letting my geek-self dress in steampunk - something unrevealing in a metallic retro sort of way...0 -

Hi Paula!
Glad to see you've found this group as well. We're all cheering you on, and congratulations on the airline seat win. Still one of my biggest fears and I believe I need to drop at least another 60 lbs before it will happen for me on any given airline.
As for the LTGW, why not dream? As my doctor told me about my dream weight, "It will take a lot of hard work on your part..." So it CAN be done. Dream a little dream with me.
Steampunk? I think you are going to find some fellow geeks here. Right Pidge?0 -
Yes! Welcome to all the new faces! Welcome!
The more people playing along the bigger will be our collective bucket of burned away fat!
We lost more than 100 pounds between us in September! (Thanks again for figuring that out dward!)
With so many great people on the team we should be able to match that for October--and DOUBLE IT in November!0 -

Week 4: 10/27/13:
I was expecting this, I've kind of gone off the rails recently. However, I'm working on getting focused and back on track and I WILL kick this weight. I also do know that logically I have not eaten enough to gain 3 pounds of fat, and I have had a lot of sodium, so I am drinking all of the water.0 -

I was sitting here being proud for not gaining weight this week and I thought how foolish I was being I have a lot of weight to loose and I can't do it by losing 2 lbs a month and then gaining 1 back the next month! I don't know why I fall into this all the time!!! It's frustrating! I can remeber crying my heart out when my scale topped 250 now if I see 300 I say "wow I had a bad day" I don't want this reality anymore!0 -
Dinobunni: sounds like Disneyland was very magical for you! Congratulations
Ignaura: great job those little steps add up to big ones
Paula: I bet it felt great to be in that airplane seat!
Jesse: keep working at it, log everything even the bad days then own your mistakes and move forward
Givens: wow... Just wow
Dan: time for an early birthday present for yourself, your so close to yor October goal! You can do it!!!0 -

Holly, perhaps your goal was too ambitious considering you Canadians have Thanksgiving a month early
I kid, I kid! Still, even if you don't get to 290, are you going to be disappointed if you get to 295?
You've got 2 weeks left in the month.
You can look back at what might have been with frustration.

You can learn from what you did right and what you wish you could have done better, take that knowledge, and get back on track towards where you want to be.0 -
Dino - I think (pretty sure) I congratulated you on your original post on your feed - but CONGRATULATIONS!! And getting proposed to at the most magical place on earth? How perfect. And you still lost a pound. DAYUM girl. Get it.
Ignaura - You're doing great so far this month, and it's great to see an awesome decrease in inches even when the scale doesn't move as much as we think it should. You're doing great!
Paula - Hi! Welcome to our awesome group. I hope you find everything you're looking for here! Wtg on your loss so far this month AND for the plane NSV. I'm supposed to fly to Colorado in January or February and I am crazy nervous. Hopefully your work will let you dress up, doing steampunk is so fun, especially making the accessories.
Givens - Man, you are a beast. 'Nuff said.
Dan - My thoughts are still with you, I know it hasn't been the easiest of times for you. BUT you are still kicking butt and taking names and I am so proud of you! (My birthday is next week, too! What day is yours?)
Holly - Don't beat yourself up. You are doing great, you haven't given up despite some struggles, and even if you lose 2 pounds and gain 1, you're still 1 pound lower than you were before! It adds up. Keep at it.
Malia - You're incredible. Seriously, you continue to blow me away with your losses AND your attitude!
Seriously, everyone, thank you for always being so uplifting and supportive. It means a lot to me. Now, let's KILL IT the rest of the month!0 -
