    Stepped on and recorded scale numbers for a 2nd time this week. Monday is my personal "record" day every week. Lost an additional 1 pound for a total loss-to-date of 165 pounds.

    Great job NikonPal!!!! You're an inspiration!!!
    I'm still recovering from my "carb fest" earlier in the week. My loss isn't impressive this milestone, but it's still getting me closer to my goal, and I will take it.
    Big congratulations to all of us because we are all great!!!!!
    Let's have a fabulous day and rock these 20 days ahead!!!!!

    I set mine a little too aggressively too, but that's okay, as long as we are moving in the right direction! Now I know a little better what to set for the next 100 day challenge, lol.

    Only 5.5 lbs to go to my 100 day goal. Need to stay strong during the next 20 days getting through Christmas and New Years Eve. The one thing that i still have problems with is drinking all the water that i need to drink in one day. So my goal is to figure how to drink my water.

    Awesome job to all those that already hit the 100 day goal.

    I think there are a lot of us who may of set goals a little aggressively. I lost 5.4 pounds this last 10 days. Only 6.2 pounds to hit my goal. It will be a little hard for me the next 20 days. Will be baking my Friendship bread this weekend, hoping to get 160 mini loafs. Still want to make some candy and fudge and chex mix. Need to make a couple of different kinds of cookies yet too. My goals for the next 20 days are to walk,walk,walk. And drink my water. Staying under calories as well. Good luck everybody.

    Finally under 150 lbs, haven't been this light in years. Although at this point I don't think I'm going to reach my goal of 140 lbs (start of normal BMI range) by the end of the year :( Oh well I'll keep trying and see how far I get and I'm planning on continuing onto the next 100 days challenge.

    Goals for today:
    Get in at least 10 miles from walking/jogging and elliptical.
    Stay under calorie goal

    Well, for the last 4 weeks I have increased my calories from 1200 to 1500/day and I have started weight training. The scale has increased, the measurements haven't decreased, and I am getting frustrated by my lack of progress! Think I am going to change again, and only eat 1500 calories on the days that I lift and cut back to 1200 on recovery days which I do cardio. I feel like I am letting everyone down since I'm not contributing to the great losses everyone is posting! :\

    Dawnmitchell6766 hang in there and don't drop back to 1200. If you're in a plateau it's ok to just carry on like before and when it's ready, your body will drop the weight. If anything, you might be overdoing the exercise. I don't know how you lift, but, if it's heavy for you, than you need rest days after. If you're not comfortable resting then do something light in the days after lifting ( yoga, walking). I used to work out 5 days a week and eat around 1300 calories a day, guess what, I was gaining weight... For the last 8 months, I've been eating 1600-2000 calories, strenght training 2-3 days/ week and walking: and I lost 50 lb.
    unless advised so by a medical professional, never constantly eat under your BMR because you will do more bad than good. When eating such low calories you will throw your hormones out of balance and you will gain weight, plus, you will feel miserable. T3, the active tyroid hormone, is lowered by low caloric intake. The signs of low T3 are: fatigue, depression and weight gain.
    Leptin is another hormone negatively influenced by long periods of caloric restrictions.
    Moral, make sure you eat enough that you're not hungry, eat healthy foods( avoid processes stuff), drink water and relax: you're body will do the rest!
    Best wishes!!!!

    Wondering what happened to the %lost of start weight tab? Doesn't seem to be in the spreadsheet anymore.

    Keep meaning to update 8th milestone but when I'm at a pc I'm busy. Although only 1 lb loss to 214 this time, not concerned though as long as I at least maintain now my goal is done. Losing 12% (iirc) body mass in 70 days was pretty fast so some maintain time probably wouldn't hurt.

    I'm following the book, "the new rules of weightlifting for women" The heaviest I am lifting is 45lb on the wide lateral pull downs, deadlift 35lbs, lunges 12lbs. I have to say I am not super sore the following day, so am contemplating increasing the weights, hesitated this week cuz I increased from 2 sets to 3 sets.

    I guess I'll stay the course for a couple of more weeks and see if I see some progress.
