    Weight as of today (Oct 23)- 152 lbs
    Desired weight by New Years-142

    2 pounds by New Years now would be unsafe :) Try for 10 :D

    I know weekly weigh in is Sunday or Monday but I 'felt' thinner today. :p

    My goal for New Year is 155#. Happily reporting a whoosh. Today = 157.4#


    With just over six weeks left dare I hope to be 145, my final goal? Two-ish pounds a week?

    If that happens, please be prepared for fireworks over my house!

    You have still lost the weight its just hidden under the fluid at the mo, as soon as the fluid reduces then so will your weight try and keep your chin up and believe me I know that will be hard keep trying to eat as well and exercise as well as you were before and when the fluid gets its self in check you will be rewarded with a huge weight loss

    Don't even stress over it. It's just water weight. Yesterday I hopped on the scale and almost had a heart attack when it 'said' I gained 1 lbs (I've been sick and eating a lot of salty soups, so that's probably why)! I hopped on again this morning and was down 3 lbs. Just eat right and drink lots of water and it should regulate itself in no time. Stay strong!

    Hey, is it too late to join? Because I'm aiming to lose 15 lbs by New Years!

    I was doing really well (lost 54 lbs since May) but completely fell off the wagon last month and gained almost 2 lbs back. I'm back on track, though, and could really use some extra motivation!

    CW: 270ish lbs [Nov 06]
    GW: 255 lbs

    Update #1 [Nov 11] --- 266.6 lbs

    I'm really certain I won't make it now but that's okay! I'm only 2 pounds away from a healthy weight so I'm having to pull back on the loss rate, otherwise I'd be getting less than 1200 a day. I'm now eating 1400-1500 for a while and enjoying it while it lasts, it'll creep back down to 1200 when I get near my ultimate goal weight (115).
