Hi everyone :)

SW: 10st 10lbs BF 28.5%
W @ week 1: 10st 7lbs BF 26.4% (Boots Machine)
CW @week 2: 10st 2lbs BF 23.7% (Same Boots Machine!)

These results seem almost too good to be true, I'm worried there is something wrong with the machine, although it is the same machine I have weighed on every week......

IT just seems unbelievable that I have lost this much fat in 2 weeks and that the lbs I am losing are not just water weight.....

    If it's one of those machines where you hold on to two metal pieces and it uses electrical current, they're not extremely accurate. It can vary quite a bit even if you do it a couple times in a row! It still gives you a ballpark estimate though, so I'd say you're still doing good!! 5 lbs in a week is a huge loss!! Especially at such a low weight already.

    My stats:
    02/01 - 130.8
    02/08 - 128.8
    02/14 - 128.4

    Guess I've kinda stalled a bit. :-\ I don't usually officially weigh-in til Sunday though, so maybe it'll change. Probably not, though.

    EDIT: Great work everyone! Turns out I did go down this morning, so I'm actually 127.8. Wish we could edit our posts in this group. :-\

    Oh, hi. Here are my stats as well. I usually weigh in a few times a week to get an average. Think I need a new scale as the number's been all over the place, but am penniless and unemployed, so will have to hold off or just settle for something cheap.
    SW: Since last September around 160-163
    02/02 - 165.57
    02/08 - 167.77
    02/15 - 163.36
    Exercise this week was awful cos I've been ill. Here's hoping I see the 150's soon. Good luck all!

    Ok so last week I was 9st 6 and this week I'm 9st 2, which would be a 4 pound loss. I think some of it may be a change in scales though because there's no way I've lost that in a week! I suspect next week will be a much smaller difference

    Starting weight: 163 lbs
    (5 weeks in) Last week: 148.6 lbs
    This week: 147.2lbs

    Coming off really well. I think I'll be able to reach my goal of 140lbs. By my 21st birthday in march!

    Hello everyone! Sorry for being a little late.

    Starting weight: 166
    Last week:160
    This week:160

    I did extremely bad this weekend. I went to a steakhouse for Valentine's day and practically ate my weight in chocolate. Then Saturday I ate everything in sight! Also, I have not really had time to exercise these past few days. So I was not expecting to lose anything! But I'm still in this, I just need to work hard this week!

    Sorry I'm late!
    Last week: 161.7
    This week: 161.1

    Not that much of a loss but the scale is still moving in the right direction which is good with me! Can't wait to hit the 150's!!

    I'm also late, but that's because I'm ashamed:
    Last week: 144.0
    This week: 145.2

    BUT it's a 'special time' for me right now, so I'm sure that will fix itself in the next few days.

    Last week: 134.8
    This week: 134.2

    Not much, but considering I went out drinking one night and ate a little too many Valentine's treats during the week I'll take it!

    I lost 2lb this week. Happy with that, ate out one evening last week and had a less than healthy meal for valentines too.
