    Not a big loss, but I'll take it. Also, at went out for dinner last night and went way over on my sodium, so I think I've got some extra water weight I am carrying around today.

    Finally feeling a bit better each day from this chest/sinus cold. Exercise has been minimal as I've been told not to push too hard as it could irritate my already infected areas. Horrible, horrible. But I'm determined to get back at it this week. Thankful for these little scale losses at this time. :-)

    Great job everyone!!! Yorkie, you've done amazing this year! How did you do it? We have similar starts and goals so I am extra curious.

    Dantanjah- congrats on reaching this goal over a month early! Incredible! You too Siobhan!

    This week was special for me because I hit a new low- the lowest I can remember seeing on the scale since 2010, I think!

    HW: 200+
    MFP Starting weight: 189
    Challenge starting weight: 185
    Last week: 177 (which was up .5 lbs!)

    This week: 174.6! 2.4 lbs down from last week.

    Officially halfway to goal- 10.4 lbs down. I think I can do this.

    Wow, you ladies are all killing it!

    Congrats to Dantanjah and Siobhan on hitting 20! Alisontheice - keep skating girl, you're almost there!

    After a gain last week, I had a huge drop this week...and my pants are falling off me (again). Seriously, this is the 3rd time in my journey this has happened to me, as I can get away with wearing my clothes through 2-3 sizes (super tight I'm a sausage, to fitting, to baggy).


    Week 0: 182.0
    Week 1: 182.8
    Week 2: 180.0
    Week 3: 176.4
    Week 4: 176.8
    Week 5: 176.0
    Week 6: 172.8
    Week 7: 175.4
    Week 8: 170.8

    Total lost during challenge: 11.2

    6 more weeks to go; I doubt I'll hit 20 as I'm closing in on goal, but will aim for to hit at least 15.

    Well I had yet another stressful week which ended with yet again another no loss for the second week in a row. So I'm still at 222.6 lbs. I need to step up the exercising but I've been so tired after work that I don't exercise. I've lost almost all my motivation for the last two weeks hopefully I can find it again soon so I can get back to losing before I end up gaining it all back again.

    Great job to everyone else!!! Your all doing awesome!!! Have a great week everyone.

    Went up from last week, still incredibly slow, but my workouts have been minimal this week with my foot blisters and my husband away so no time away from the kidlets. investing in new shoes soon and hubby home tuesday so hopefully next week i will finally break 170...

    Terrible binging on Halloween candy, this is especially discouraging since Halloween candy was what "caused" my initial weight gain. Now im just kind of spiraling off my diet and i dont know how to get back again, right now its a huge feat just to stay at maintenance calories.

    Well success this week I lost 2 lbs. I don't want to blow my own horn and jinx myself. I have been
    here before.:ohwell: Starting Monday I will try to not eat after dinner, a very bad habit I have. See if I
    see any results. I will have to slow down on my upper body weights, I have a knot in my left shoulder
    blade that is very painful right now. So this will not stop me, on to other things and keep tracking.

    Good luck my everyone :drinker:

    Didn't post last week but I didn't have any change, stayed at 212. This week I was up 1 lb. to 213. We are vacationing this week but we are doing a lot of walking and hiking. Hopefully if I don't loose anything I will stay the same.
