    No loss this week. I was bad this week, especially yesterday, and didn't get much chance to exercise with a sick boy and basically no time for myself. I will get my butt in gear and shift these last few pounds. My goal is to be to my target weight and 20 lb lost by December 1. Better get a move on that

    Well once again this week no loss for me. I'm still at 222.6 lbs for like the 3rd week in a row. Possibly the no loss this week is from being bloated right now.

    Great job to everyone this week. Hopefully next week will be better for me and I can finally break this habit I've gotten into of not losing and just maintaining.

    MFP Starting weight: 189
    Challenge starting weight: 185
    Challenge goal: 165
    Overall goal: 135
    Last week: 174.6

    This week: 172.6- down 2 lbs again!

    12.4 lbs total - 7.6 to go by Christmas. I predict I'll get there by 12/10/13 unless Thanksgiving proves to be harder than I'm expecting. It'd be amazing if I can get to 160 by Christmas.

    Way to go everyone!

    I'm back! I had a rough patch for about 3 weeks where I sort of fell off the band wagon and had a hard time jumping back on. There were some gains in there that I never reported in the weigh in threads in this group because I was so upset with myself. But, I'm picking myself back up, and hoping it's still possible to lose 20 by Christmas ... we'll see. Good job to everyone else. You all rock for sticking with the challenge for this long!

    I haven't logged in a few weeks, I'm sorry guys. When I started doing circuit training, I gained weight! I'm told my body was probably retaining water to help rebuild my muscles. Idk... but I'm back on track now. :)

    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
    Week 7 weigh-in 166.0 . . . 0.6 lb loss. How do you eat an elephant . . . one bite at a time! .6 lb by .6 lb I WILL get there!
    Week 8 weigh-in 164.6 . . . 1.4 lb loss. Have added kickboxing to my weekly routine, fantastic cardio and aggressive enough to be quite therapeutic! Bonus!!
    Week 9 weigh-in 163.4 . . . 1.2 lb loss. My son has added another HIIT session to my week, my workout week now looks like this:
    Monday - Group Circuit Training, followed by HIIT session
    Tuesday - day off
    Wednesday - Group Circuit Training, followed by HIIT session
    Thursday - HIIT session during day, yoga in the evening
    Friday - Kickboxing (moderate cardio)
    Saturday - weight training at home (upper body)
    Sunday - weight training at home (lower body) . . . not bad for an old girl!

    total loss this challenge - 13.6 lbs . . . average loss/week 1.51 lbs
    total loss since starting the challenge with my son July 1st* - 39 lbs . . . average loss/week 2.05 lbs (19 weeks)

    * to read about the challenge I have with my son checkout my blog entitled A Mom, Her Son & One Life Changing Wager (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/takerbrat?month=201306)
  • Welcome back the couple of people who came back! Five weeks is a long time, so I bet we could all see some great success.
    If anyone is frustrated, seek out some advice here. Everyone is really helpful and I know that advice from this group is what got me on track.

    Good luck!
