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 -

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!

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 -

Wow, Jackie, that's an awesome loss!!!
Thank you all for your beautiful words!! I cheated on the weigh in, meaning that I did step on the scale today (I usually weight myself saturday mornings), but if the scale is correct, this week is going to be another good one... Can't wait for tomorrow to finally arrive!!0 -

Good week. I need to step up my game if I want to get to 215 by the end of the month. I'm glad I passed de 220 mark, because de 230 was a difficult one, and I really didn't want to go through all that stress again.
My birthday is on monday and I have two birthdays parties. What am I going to do??? LOL Already asked my trainer what he recommends, I want to enjoy my birthday, but don't want to mess up my progress... decisions, decisions!!0 -
Wow, Russ, good loss this week!0

Wow, everyone posting is doing so great! Russ and Jackie seem to be doing the Biggest Loser competition! :drinker: Way to go guys!
Jess, keep getting back into it. The gym is going to make such a difference!
Ignaura - Great loss, as for the birthday, well, look at it this way: Your body doesn't care how you get to the calorie deficit. One day off isn't going to break you. Log every little bit of cake and goody you have, accept it, and then work your program hard the rest of the week. you will be fine!
Oh, and if anyone needs a boost: I'd say we are on our way to beating last months loss. So far we have posted a group loss of......83.1 pounds in less than 3 weeks this month. Twelve days left in the month, we can do this!
Oh, and if you are friends with some of those who posted early this month, but haven't checked back in. Consider giving them a nudge.
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -

Even slow progress is better than no progress right? I can tell I have lost inches, even my shoes are fitting better! This time of year I feel so overwhelmed. MFP has been a blessing. I love keeping up with everyone even when I don't have time to contribute. Keep up the fantastic work buddies!

ChasingKate - After losses like you have had, this may just be a minor bounce, OR if this was this weekend it could just be the salt from the pizza... Those 13+ miles of walking will usually win! Way to go, and good job on posting a minor gain.
BTL - Your picture shows the hard work you have been doing. A one pound loss a week is more in the normal range. The fact you lost 46 lbs so quickly before this was amazing! You may return to supra-normal soon, your workouts are really impressive!0 -
