Psyche!!
I'd love to post my weight, but I have an entire day of work to do before I can -- I timed things pretty badly this morning! However, do go on ahead and post your own; I'll catch up this evening!

My original starting date of Oct 1, 2015
10/1/15: 290
12/30/15: 272 (-18)
1/1/16: 270.4 (-19.6)
1/6/16: 269.2 (20.8) [1.2 lbs so far this week...]
1/10/16: 268.2 (21.8) [2.2 lbs for the week!]
1/17/16: 267.2 (22.8) [1.0 lb for the week :-( ]
Well, I am back to where I was just before Christmas at 267.2. Although I am glad my weight is going in the right direction, I seem to be a bit stalled. My daily intake of calories is around 1350-1400 as charted within MFP. Given my size, I would have thought this calorie amount would be sufficient to steadily shed pounds rapidly. Silly me. I will HAVE to find a way to get more steps on my fit bit. I will make it a point to park as far away from where ever I am going to drastically increase my walking. My new friends all appear to be doing well and I am happy to see their progress. I will not give up!! 180 here I come!!!
Does anyone use diet supplements with any success? I haven't tried any and do not want to with anything that has caffeine or any kind of stimulant that can interfere with sleep or make me jittery...0 -

Boooo, I gained!! My weight has stuck at 191.7 (almost to the nose) all week, and it's sort of driving me crazy. I guess my body has just decided to stay here at this weight right now...
Welp, my plan is going to go back to basics: sweet potatoes, chicken, boiled eggs, good leafy greens and the like, and NO CHEATING! No skipping runs, no handfuls of such-and-such, and NO going over my calorie limit for the rest of the month! It's HAPPENING. I HAVE to lose this weight; I'm STARING into the eyeballs of the 180's, and I'm too close to ruin it now!
@KoshVorlon You are doing GREAT, man! I mean okay so what, you gained a pound (look around; you're in good company!!); don't give up! As for the diet supplements, I regret to say that I have tried "Slim Quick Pure" (it's for women). I regret even more that it DID seem to do something, but the something that it did wasn't really "losing weight," per se. It's more like a caffeinated water pill mixed with a hunger suppressant - you pretty much pee out anything liquid, and your body keeps telling you it doesn't want food though you have tons of energy. They're not bad for you, but they're not good for you. Most "diet supplements" on the market are mixtures of caffeine and other reasonable sounding things like "acai extract" and "green tea infused." Snake oil, man. I truly believe that you wont hurt yourself taking any of it that's at least FDA approved, but there's a reason people aren't clambering over themselves to buy bottles of them, either. Your best bet is to change the nutrient intake in your diet! Try making vegetables the main focus of your meals, with side dishes of meats; replace all cursory beverages with water. That weight WILL come off, it just needs some coaxing!

Not happy. But I am working out a lot more than I have in a long time and I am starting to notice very small differences. Such as I can do a push up now (on my knees) and for the first time I think ever I can do more than one! So it is those little things that are keeping me going.

I didn't lose any weight this week. I've been nursing a cold and sore throat and it is TOM. I usually run nearly every morning. This week I only ran once and did a dvd workout twice. Gonna have to join a gym as we are supposed to get more than 2 feet of snow starting this afternoon.

@ForMe2No I'm sorry you're feeling so disheartened... But you've been SICK! I mean my God, woman, how are you supposed to get better if you're insisting your body hit the treadmill?
If you make yourself better, your body can do all the extra work of losing weight because it'll be strong! Lol - that said, I hope you feel better quickly, I know this is getting to you... Besides, MY GOD, you're almost in ONEderland!!!! How exciting!!!! I hope next week goes better for you!! 0
