    Hey guys I know I'm late to the party for this month but I just discovered the MFP message boards and groups lol ... so here I am!

    Name: Chenee


    Hello, Chenee, it's nice to meet you and welcome to the group. I hope you enjoy it here. Thanks for participating, too...the weekly weigh-ins are one of my favorites and also one of the things I find most helpful to me.

    I haven't been posting my numbers like I wanted to, but I am in a fitness program that is keeping me active. With that said, today is the day, 20lbs gone from a 115(ish) goal. I had to tell someone, and it happens to be you.

    Good for you! :)

    My Numbers:
    SW: 337.8 (January 2, 2014) (Highest 357, May 2010)
    CW: 272.8 (As of August 31)
    GW: 257 (15.8 lbs - And reaching this will give me 100 lb mark milestone)
    LTGW: 157 (dropped down one pound to make it an even 200 to reach it. I like even numbers)

    Total Loss for the Month: 7


    Weigh-ins will be on Sundays
    09/07 - 270.4 (-2.8) (This is actually more than it was when I weighed in for another challenge. I am certain it is water weight from my breaking down my muscles. As we all know inflammation easily leads to water retention and breaking down of muscles causes inflammation, to a degree.)
    09/14 - 268.8 (-1.6) (Not bad, not bad.)
    09/21 - 265.8 (-3.0) (Not likely to hit my goal, but still a very, very good number)
    09/28 -
    09/30 -

    Motivational message I am running in my head right now: I am not losing weight. I am getting rid of it. I have no intention of ever finding it again.

    New Motivational quote: Have you ever exercised so damn hard your *kitten* signals Batman for help.

    New Quote: Everybody is getting engaged, married and having babies...I'm over her just trying to get some abs and a booty.

    "When life knocks you down...do a burpee."

    9/22/14: 309.6 (-0.4)
    9/29/14:

    At least it went in the right direction, I guess. I'm a little disappointed, since I thought I had a really good week. You know what, scratch that...I DID have a good week, and if the scale wants to be a jerk, that's it's fault. :tongue:

    Hi everyone! I was a member of this group about a year ago, but fell off the wagon hard. I have recently gotten back on, joined a gym and am starting over.

    Name: Cindy

    My Numbers:
    SW: 358.8 (beginning of August 2014)
    CW: 341.4
    GW: 333.4
    LTGW: 175

    Weigh ins: I always weigh in on Mondays at the gym. (except this week due to the holiday it will be Tuesday) - My current weight listed above is last Monday..

    9/02/14= 340.6 (-0.6lb - it was a rough long weekend...better next week)
    9/08/14= 339.0 (-1.6lbs - that's a little better)
    9/15/14= 330.2 (-8.8lbs - Nope, not a typo laugh I knew my number would be good as long as I didn't have a salty weekend like the last two were!)
    9/24/14= 328.0 - my weigh ins have been switched to Wednesday now.

    I kept reading all of the blog posts and seeing all of these fit people who were using MFP to just get in better shape- I am glad I found somewhere where there are others "like me".
    A little about me--- I like to be in the 280 lb range, and actually somewhat pleased at that weight (I am 5'9" and big boned and like my curves). I have extreme willpower and can lose 30+ pounds in just a few months, but as soon as I decide I am comfortable with where I am, my eating gets out of control and comes back.
    I lost approx. 40 lbs a couple of years ago, then gained it back, per my usual routine, then got pregnant. So now I'm hanging on to 15 lbs of baby weight, plus the weight I gained back right before becoming pregnant. My son is 8 months old now and I'm ready to get back into my old clothes and actually feel good about myself again! I just used the MFP food diary before, so I'm hoping maybe joining a group will help me even more this time. Nice to meet you all!

    9/24/2014 212 +2.4 I was hoping it wasn't so...but it appears it is. Back on the yoyo. Oh well, it's the last week of my employment before I "re-retire" and leave my home to go traveling. I think there might be a bit of a stress factor here. Time to readjust.

    Weigh ins: Fridays & month end

    9/5/14 = 253.8 - 4.2 lbs HOLY CRAP!!!!heart love about half is the water I put on over Labor day weekend but I'm still SUPER happy with this number. My first goal was 254 so I am THERE!
    9/12/14 = 252.4 - 1.4 lbs For some reason I thought I'd maintained, but NOPE! YYAYY!
    9/19/14 = I intentionally didn't weigh in this day... It was bad.
    9/26/14 = 251.8 - .6
    9/30/14 =

    Total Loss for the Month:

    I think I'm in a bit of a stall at the moment. I weigh every day and it's been bouncing between 253 and 251 (with some anomalies) for 2 weeks now. Trying to remember that it's all part of the process and not get down on myself. I actually dropped my calories this month AND have done better sticking to them then last month and I've lost way less. I did it cuz I wanted to push hard before engagement pictures and fit into some new jeans and boots, but I don't see that happening. I've bumped my calories back up because I didn't like the level I was at so I guess I just need to have patience. It's definitely the hardest part.

    CW: 158.5 (8/31)
    GW: 155
    LTGW: 140

    I weigh on Saturdays and month end.

    9/6 = 157 (-1.5)
    9/13 = 155 (-2.0)
    9/20 = 160 (+5) ate 2 boxes of cereal as well as too much of everything else
    9/27 = 158 (-2) Back on track, ThGdnss!!
    9/30 =

    This was a serious roller coaster month. Fell into the trap called "I've done so well, a little won't hurt." And then turned into a monster, stumbling around with my hands outstretched, searching for treats, sugar, starches, anything to satisfy my addiction. Arrgghhh! It is so awful to be constantly thinking about food, and being scared at what's happening to me, and being driven by that unseen force. It was a fight but I seem to have kicked the cravings. What a relief! To not have that monster on my back, whipping me on. Good RIDDANCE!!!!!

    I just need to go cold turkey on the processed stuff and stick to a "clean" diet, which for me is protein, vegies, lots of water and a little unprocessed carbs (potatoes are good). It's a fight, that's for sure. But knowing that it doesn't last forever helps me persevere.

    Best wishes to you all.

    Paula, I was thinking about you the other day; I'm glad you've faced the food demon and kicked 'em to the curb. :)
