  • Hi Jellarrysmum, you are doing such a fantastic job, you are a definite inspiration for me! This week I stayed the same, which is frustrating, I think I got carried away with the excitement of last week's 1.5 kg loss :laugh: I need to read through what I ate the previous week and stick to it so that I have another good loss to get me back on track for losing 20 lbs by Christmas.

    191.00 lbs. Not doing so good with this. I've lost about 7-8 lbs. Got 16 more to lose. :frown:

    Edit: In case you're wondering how I've lost that much with only a 5 lb. overall loss--I put on a few and had to relose them.

    Just 6 more pounds to go until I have reached this goal and my goal. I Have kind of slowed down on the being super vigilant with the eating and cutting back since I should start trying to maintain soon.

    I have also realized I do quite a bit of walking and with my skating and other exercise I was dropping the weight quite quickly.

    I must say that is is great to see the progress everyone is making! This group started out with lots of people and now there are just a few of us sticking it out. whether or not I actually get to lose 20 pounds or not, I am feeling good about the weight that has been shed!
    Nice work everyone

    SW - 145.8
    LW - 146
    CW -147 lbs

    Gain 1.2 lbs Very discouraging because I feel leaner and I have been eating well and exercising. I know I am doing everything right.

    I took my measurements this morning as well and this week I am down a total of 2.5 inches.

    chest .5 inch
    waist 1.5 inches
    thigh .25 nches
    calf .25

    Total 2.5 inches for a total inch lost of 5.5 since the challenge started.

    Well done everyone for your losses!

    I can honestly say that I am a little disillusioned because of no weight loss and I'm trying to stay positive with my measurement loss.

    Have a great week everyone!

    Kind of frustrated this morning and almost quit this group, but I will keep on going. Of course last night
    was movie night and I had some popcorn so sodium is the devil this morning. I will drink my water and
    keep at it today. I did get a good report from my last doctor appt. and I have increased my exercise to
    50 min a day so I will keep at it and see what next week brings.

    SW - 234 lbs
    Week 1 - 228.8 lbs
    Week 2 - 228.4 lbs
    Week 3 - 226.0 lbs
    Week 4 - 224.0 lbs
    Week 5 - no weigh in due to changing of scales
    Week 6 - 222.6 lbs
    Week 7 - 222.6 lbs

    Well no loss this week probably due to the poor eating and very stressful work week. However total loss for this challenge 11.4 lbs. So about 9 more lbs to go before Christmas. Gonna have to kick it up the next couple weeks with eating better and exercising because I have a feeling the coming holidays are going to be very hard with the extra treats.

    Great job to everyone this week!!!!

    My loss last week was three pounds so I'm not surprised it fluctuated a bit this week! Hopefully it'll be back on track this week.

I am going back to the UK for Christmas and New Year and I really want to look like I have lost weight. Here's to a good week for everyone, there are some fantastic losses happening. Very inspiring....


    You can tell I don't know what I am doing! I was trying to reply to a post, but now seem to have put three separate ones on here. :ohwell:
