    From my starting weight to now, lost 7 lbs,; however, starting to feel a little hungry at different times of the day, something I didn't notice early on. Maybe I need to go back and look at what I was eating when I wasn't feeling hungry. Hopefully I can regain some of that happy, happy, joy, joy kind of feeling and keep on plugging!

    I'm trying to work my way back into running. I used to be able to run 7 miles, now I can barely run 1 :( so, i'm in it to win it and i miss it so much. I'll stay at one mile until I feel comfortable raising it to 1.5.

    GW: 120-130 (depending more on my size).

    Weigh in Dates:
    1/3 156
    1/10 154
    1/17 152.6
    1/231


    Total weight lost: 3.4

    I have been bouncing back and forth from 156-159 since October --- vacation and the holidays were not good to me... Well, really I wasn't good to myself.

    I've finally getting back into my work out routine. I need some heavier dumbbells though! I want to workout at least 3 times a week. I love the Power Circuit Training with Jackie Warner DVD -- it has changed my body so much!!

    Jan 8th Updated GW: 128

    Weigh in Dates:

    01/01 -- 130.9
    01/08 -- 130.9
    01/16
    01/22
    01/29
    01/31

    Well, it doesn't look like I'll be losing any weight before I leave for Mexico on Saturday. :laugh: No worries. As long as I can maintain over the weekend and not come back heavier I'll be okay. I know how to play this game. Eat at a moderate deficit for the next few days (500 calorie +), then any surplus I have the five days I'm on vacay should be absorbed. Luckily, I expect to be pretty active and vow to drink mostly mojitos instead of margaritas.:drinker:

    I will stay in this challenge because I like being liable, but If I can drop to 128 lbs I will be happy.


    ETA: screwed up the quote.

    Totally forgot about this challenge. Current stats:

    Weigh in Dates:

    Weigh in Dates:

    1/8 192.6 We'll say it is fluid retention. Don't know what I did. I was down the first of the week.
    1/16 191.4 well finally down 1.2lb.
    1/22 189.4 Down 2lb. YEA! Doing better.
    1/27 184.0 Down 5.4lb. WOW! I don't know what I'm doing different but I'll take it. :happy:
    1/31

    Total weight lost: As of 1/27/14 8.6lb.! :happy:

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? I want to shoot for at least 5000 steps per day (hopefully more.) I will get up every class period for at least 10 minutes and walk. I will take a longer route to & from the cafeteria and other places on campus. I will not just chill out on the couch at night either.
    Good luck everyone. HAPPY 2014!! Let's DO IT!!


    OhHaiStranger Great Loss! 7.8lb! KateK8LoseW8 Great loss for you too! 6.6lb! Way to go Everyone!
