    Great job to everybody!! The first "official" weigh in will be next week since today is technically the "start" day. Obviously some of us had a previous weigh-in from earlier in the week.

    So let's recognize our largest weight loss for our "unoffical" week. (Weight lost between 3/13/11 and 3/17/11)

    :flowerforyou: Congratulations to our biggest loser of the week: "mjtmorr" with a loss of 5.4 lbs! :love: We are all inspired!

    Have a great week everyone!

    My "official" weigh day is today, Saturday, and I am disappointed in myself at 323, I was 2lbs lighter on Thursday AM, although 3.4lbs in a week is still not bad

    great since I weigh in on Monday mornings Ill have to remember to put it on on Thursday so I dont get missed off the chart ;)

    Although Im wondering where you are Vic??? Im in UK and tend to weigh in about 6am?!?!? So would this possibly be before midnight where you are?!?!?

    Thanks for doing this its really great for us all!

    Great question. I suppose I did leave off the time zones. :)

    I live in the US on the east coast so I follow Eastern Standard Time.
    Currently it is 3/19/11 and the time is 8:52 am

    According to my world clock the current time:
    in London, England it is 3/19/11 and the time is 12:52 pm.
    in Sydney, Australlia it is 3/19/11 and the time is 11:52 pm.
    (It is 7:52 Central Time, 6:52 Mountain Time, and 5:52 Pacific Time)

    So technically, you sound reach Sunday Midnight about 4 hours before I do (assuming the UK doesn't have different time zones like the US does). Our Australlian friends will be the first to hit the 12am mark. And I will reach midnight 1-3 hours before some of my fellow Americans.

    Posting charts on Monday evening (about 6 pm EST) should cover any time zone gaps that anyone has. :bigsmile:

    Ugh...terribly night for eating last night....don't know how much I ate, had five drinks. It was a friend's birthday party and there was tons of food and booze. Hopefully I can work off whatever I ate at work today.

    You can do it! One day won't do THAT much damage, unless you let it snowball. Get back on track and forget about it. ;)

    Almost 10 pounds is my goal for this challenge. I know that 3 pounds a month isn't very much, but from looking back at my weight chart, it seems realistic. I'd rather meet my goals than be disappointed when I don't, so I'm going to take the numbers slow.

    I know many of you (like myself) have a different weigh day from thursday.

    I TRY VERY HARD not to look at the scale till Monday morning. What I did last week is use my regular weigh day of Monday as my weigh day for MFP, and I weigh on Thursday for the challenge.

    Gives me a reason to "peek" lol, plus if my weight goes UP between Thurs & Mon, I can take a look back at my diary, maybe see where I went off.

    Just a thought

    I worked out every day last week....and gained a pound at this morning's weigh-in. Very discouraging, but I will keep working it!

    Make sure you are eating enough calories when you are working out so regularly. Not getting enough calories will result in your body hanging on to its fat cells cuz it thinks you are in starvation mode.

    Can I be in?

    Lost over twenty five last year on my own and find ten dreaded pound g
    Have crept back largely because I stopped being accountable to others and logging.

    Just joined here today and weighing in around 158.

    Of note I decided to give up the red wine last weekend as it was only helping stall everything! My goal is 140 pounds, in specific for my June 22birthday!
