    KABOOM!!! drillsgt75! You did 2X THE LOSS!!! Congrats on your hard work!!

    SW 145.2
    GW 125,0

    1/01 145.2 initial home scale
    1/08 Missed weighing because I was moving
    1/15 141.6 New home scale ::frown:
    1/22 143.2 :grumble:
    1/28 144.4 :sad:

    I am not losing weight, but gaining grrr! I joined a gym and exercise 1 hr. I have not missed a day at the gym in the last 6 days. I am eating more than I usually do, so basically I am eating back the calories I am burning. From now on, I will drink tea to fill me up and stop doing that so I can lose some weight. Just crappy feeling but at least I am telling you how it is for me not losing. I have it on good authority from fellow MFP friends who are being successful losing weight, not to stress about this weight gain because I am working out this is probably water retention. If my weight drops tomorrow morning then I will update my post here. (I am wishing and hoping and drinking lots of tea!)

    Yay! It makes it go so much easier when you can actually see results! Another 30 lbs and I may actually not hate the way I look. I'm already starting to like myself more just because of putting in the effort, even though looking in the mirror is still not my favorite place to be.

    It is fun, fun, fun to see how well everyone is doing. Good Job!!!

    I had reached my goal but then cheated like crazy last weekend. :( I'll try for a strong end of month, even if it's only two days!

    TheGoal_IsSou: don't get discouraged! You're very close! Maybe get a friend to go to the gym or a Fitbit/UP to encourage you to walk?

    vascof1: great job this month! You did it!

    Total weight lost: 6.5 lbs. Yes! I've been really good the past week. Of course it also was my week off from work and that made it easier for me. We'll see if I can keep this up once I go back on monday.

    cpanus, don't get discouraged. I know you can turn this around again :)
    DJ478, great loss this month!

    Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? My goal is to simply stick to excercising continually. In combination with healthy eating it should finally help me loose the last 10-12 kilos.

    I DID IT! Of course, I don't know how much is water weight/daily fluctuation, but it's the lowest number yet - so I'm counting it! :)
