    SW - 145.8
    CW - 146

    + .2 lbs.

    After a gain since the beginning I was actually down today .8 of a lb. I will take it. Honestly I would of like to see a bigger loss but I know that I had a great week of eating and exercising so I will have to stay the course.

    I'm not ready to take measurements but I do feel like my body is more engaged or leaner.

    Congrats everyone on another great week and Woo Hoo for all the weight loss!

    Karen

    Karen - you might want to take measurements. I started the challenge with my son on July 1st, initially I lost pretty consistently and then I hit a plateau that lasted almost 4 weeks. The funny thing was that the tape measure told the real story during that time as every week there was an overall decrease in inches. As of today I have lost 35.8 lbs but my total inches lost is 37.25. I meausre the following weekly: bicep right and left, chest, ribcage, waist, hips, upper right and left thigh, lower right and left thigh, and calf right and left. In some respects I am more motivated by the tape measure than the scale because if the tape measure is decreasing my clothes aren't going to fit the same. Keep up the good work! Terri
    TIP: I always measure standing with my side to the mirror so that I can check to make sure the tape measure is level.

    So here's a tongue twister . . . almost half of us (the group that has checked in so far this week) have lost almost half of our goal and we are not yet at the half way mark to Christmas!!! Special shout to my MFP friends jellarysmum, lharri0209, hotmamatodd, slotB, zanne54, sweet_pandora. Awesome work and thank you for your support and encouragement . . . you guys rock!!!

    Week 0 weigh-in 177.0
    Week 1 weigh-in 176.8 . . . 0.2 lb loss. Alas, the plateau continues . . . kind of . . .
    Week 2 weigh-in 173.0 . . . 3.8 lb loss. Take that plateau!
    Week 3 weigh-in 171.2 . . . 1.8 lb loss. Just about made my goal of 2 lbs/week.
    Week 4 weigh-in 171.2 . . . no loss this week, no excuses, next week will be different . . .
    Week 5 weigh-in 170.6 . . . 0.8 lb loss. Last week wasn't that much different, some nights I swear I hear that Nutella jar calling my name and I never even liked the damn stuff before I started to lose weight! Maybe it's hormonal?
    Week 6 weigh-in 166.6 . . . 4 lb loss, yup it was hormonal! So glad to be back in the 60s

    total loss this challenge - 10.4 lbs . . . average loss/week 1.73 lbs
    total loss since starting the challenge with my son July 1st* - 35.8 lbs . . . average loss/week 2.1 lbs (17 weeks)

    start 157
    week 2 - 159
    week 3 - 155.5
    week 4 - 155
    week 5 - 156.25
    week 6 - 157

    goal weight - 140

    I'd be happy to make it to 150 at this rate! Not been the best week, we've been on holiday this week, so lots of eating out, and one day we visited family we've not seen for many months, a lot of food and alcohol was consumed that day! I've not made very good food choices this week at all, and I've had no laptop all week, so poor to no logging didn't help either.
    It's Monday, it's a new week and kids are back to school tomorrow, and I am back to work too. Fresh start, I have my eye on a lovely new dress to wear for Christmas, I am hoping to get it and look good in it!

    Week 0: 195.4
    Week 1: 194.6
    Week 2: 191.8
    Week 3: 191.0
    Week 4: 190.2
    Week 5: 187.8
    Week 6: 186.0

    I weighed on Saturday morning and by Sunday morning I was down another half pound, but I decided not to worry about it since I'd already done my "official" weigh in. It'll just count for next week! But looks like I'm about halfway to my 20 lb goal, and that will put me just one pound above "normal" BMI for my height. That will be a happy day!

    Week 4: 163.3

    Well.... I'm failing this challenge. Lol! Hopefully I'll start losing weight some time. I do find it slightly impressive that I didn't gain TOO much weight. I pretty much ate a ton all week because I was really busy. Hopefully this week will be better :)

    1st GW:160/165 New GW as of 10/28/13: 169/170

    * Christmas is 8 weeks away. Smh, there is no reason I shouldnt be closer to goal. I know I definitely wont make 160, but perhaps 160s are still possible. Like maybe 168/169 :ohwell:
  • Thanks Terri - I agree with a shout out to everyone who is so supportive on here! This is a great place and a great group!

    I have been helped by several people here, so for those of you who had frustrating posts, message me and if I can help at all, I will. I'm pretty sure I have a screwed up relationship with weight loss, but I am doing my best to correct it and I seem to be able to see where others need to make tweaks, even if I can't always see my own errors.

    Keep going and sometimes it's really small changes that will matter.

    Good luck!

    I lost 10lbs total for the month of October! November should be a snap! I have a company party on Dec. 7th. I am hoping to be in a 1 x by then. I am currently a 2x.
