Breaking through another gridlock with the scale. Any movement in the downward direction is good enough for me!

Week 12 - Lost 0.8lbs

This has not been a good two weeks for me and I am growing tired I being frustrated with the scale and sore all the time. Last night I caved to beer and am not pleased with myself for it. I'm going to try to let go of the tension and just get back to enjoying feeding my body with nutrition instead of crap. I should add that the fact that I am still here, still committed and acknowledging the fact tht my goal is taking longer, but will still happen is a goal in of itself. No quitting!!
Great job everyone for sticking to this! And congrats on the losses this week!

Week 3 - 182.6

I am only 2.2 pounds down right now (I was over 6 down before I started lifting, I always retain water). I realize I won't hit the goal, but I knew that going in since I'm losing slowly for safe breastfeeding. I have lost some inches so that is good.

Hi there again! As I have said previously, my HW before starting my weight loss journey was 202 lbs. So, I began losing this passed July and joined mfp in August. Here are my stats as of starting this challenge:

Sw-177 lbs
Cw- 145 lbs
Ugw- 130 lbs

Total loss this WK: -4 lbs ( WOWZA!!)
total challenge loss: -32 lbs

Revised weight goal by Christmas: 140 lbs

Congrats to you all on your commitment to this challenge, whether if you had a loss or not. You just being here means that you care about your health. Christmas is almost upon us! Good luck in the weeks ahead!

1.2lbs down this week, so happy the scales are still moving. I most definitely agree though that reporting here weekly with a "weigh-in" has so helped with keeping accountable and motivation.

SW: 183.7 lbs
Wk1: 180.9 lbs (-2.8 lbs)
Wk2: 179.7 lbs (-1.2 lbs)
Wk3: 179.6 lbs (-0.6 lbs)
Wk4: 178.8 lbs (-0.3 lbs)
Wk5: 177.7 lbs (-1.1 lbs)
Wk6: 176.8 lbs (-0.9 lbs)
Wk7: 175.9 lbs (-0.9 lbs)
Wk8: 173.4 lbs (-2.5 lbs)
Wk9: 172.1 lbs (-1.3 lbs)
Wk10: 171.5 lbs (-0.6 lbs)
Wk11: 170.2 lbs (-1.3 lbs)
Wk12: 169.0 lbs (-1.2 lbs)

Total: -14.7 lbs

5.3 lbs to go.

It's doubtful I will make 20lbs in a couple of weeks. I have a works Christmas meal next Friday (arghh!!!). But just being nearly 15lbs down, I'm so thrilled. Just little losses here and there cumulatively soon add up and I don't think you necessarily notice so much unless you log like we've been doing between us.

Whatever our losses though, everyone has done great. Keep up the great work everyone and congratulations to everyone that has already reached that 20lbs mark, especially those that have surpassed it and some loads!! :drinker:

I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts each week and cheering you on. I agree with the above posters this challenge has been very helpful for me.

SW: 212.6
Original challenge goal: 192

Revised challenge goal: 182

Yes, hit a new "decade"!

Hey everyone great job on your losses. I once again didn't lose anything so I'm still at 221.6 lbs. However I'm having a huge problem with not eating all the holiday treats that are everywhere now so I'm sure that is the reason for maintaining weight rather than losing it. I'm hoping I can lose at least two pounds but it may not be possible with my current eating habits and all the stress I'm under.
