    Hey that's great. I want to get one of those too.
    Well happy Friday to everyone. How was everyones thanksgiving?
    I went shopping and bought myself new scale that has a bmi reader. Black friday shpping is scary...
    So on the new scale I am 202, with a bmi of 29%, which is only just overweight and no logger obese.

    no change on my scale - still 152.

    I've fallen into the same old trap this last week, my clothes feel loose and I've had a few complements about losing weight then I eat a little snack, then another and yes you guessed it another.

    I really want to be 146 for xmas so i've set myself a challenge to only eat half my exercise calories and to eat fruit instead of bad snacks.

    No change again this week. I am stuck but hope to see some change soon. Working out hard and mixing up my cals to see if that helps. Have a great week all.

    Well, this is going to be an ugly weigh-in tomorrow. I have fallen back into some bad habits of eating waaay too much and I am the kind of person who can not eat all my exercise calories and lose. And I have been eating all of them plus a little overage! I just inhaled the rest of the pecan pie that was sitting on the kitchen counter to the tune of 650 calories leaving me with 300 for the rest of the day. I'm hoping to reset myself tomorrow because next week the parties start and I can't keep doing this! I was actually debating not doing my weigh in tomorrow but I think it will have a bigger impact on me to see my lbs. lost number decrease.

    So, I"m not going to weigh in this week. The numbers on the scale are so out of whack because of the salt and water weight, I'm fluctuating 8 lbs. in one day! I'm gonna wait until next Sunday and see what it says and post that number because I know I truly did not gain 5 lbs. in 1 week when I worked out every single day (mostly cardio) and held pretty true to my calorie goals (over on 2 days but less than the built in MFP deficit). So, I'm eating healthy today and already got a great workout in. Don't have any parties this weekend, just a swim meet but it's local so I can easily manage that. Good luck all!

    Ok so I have been slacking a little on the chart. Here it is updated before Friday Dec 3 weigh ins.
    As a group we have lost 22.4 lbs. This is a good number when you consider holloween and thanksgiving holidays. Lets keep moving forward. I would still like to make it to 194 by christmas, for me that means I need to start logging my calories agian.

    I think this weeks calorie burn should be 2200. Hope everyone has a good week.

    4 more weigh ins till chrismas..... lets get motivated and get some weigh off.

    I'm up 3 lbs :( 159 again BUT I realized I haven't been eating enough for a couple weeks so I think that has a lot to do with it. I have however lost 6 inches in the last 25 days so that is more important than the pounds on the scale!!

    201.2 today a loss of .8 lbs. This is a good number for me considering I have been baking cookies the last 3 days.

    Yay, I lost 1.2 lbs. this week! I'm down 6 lbs. for the challenge and I'm only 3.6 lbs. away from my goal. Gonna be really hard to do that by Christmas, but I'm going to try. And Loxleys, .8 down is great- at this time of year ANY loss is one to be celebrated!

    Day 3 of exercising. Hoping to see a loss on the scale Monday.

    I weighed the same today - so still 151.2lbs. I've not been eating enough calories (my net calories for the past few weeks has been under 1200 ) so I am increasing my intake so i'm hoping for a weight loss next week.

    But as xmas is only 2 weeks away I don't think i'm going to get to 10lbs but I will keep trying for the biggest number I can.

    Good Luck ladies

    Not weighing in this week. Son in hospital after surgery and I'm spending the nights with him. Dont' see a scale until after I have eaten, gotten dressed, etc. Will weigh in next Sunday and hope it will be good. exercise is slim and food choices poor but I'm making the best of it!

    Thanks, they just released him this morning! Yay, one day early! So, we'll have a celebratory dinner tonight and I can start working out again tomorrow before my husband goes to work. It's not gonna be my double spin class days, but it will be better than nothing. We also missed ALL the holiday parties since they moved his surgery up a few days so I missed all that food temptation! Would love to lose 3 lbs. by Christmas, but not sure if that's in the cards.
