    my weight is up. I'm going to give myself a week to get it off and then I will log my official weight then. stress has been eating me up lately. first I was overeating, now I'm not eating. I'm killing my metabolism and I need to find a happy medium.

    It does - you might just be a bit stuck in a plateau. It sucks, but you can break through it. Maybe change up your routine a bit for awhile.

    Leela, I'm sorry about all the stress. I know how hard that can be. =( I hope things get better for you this week.

    Let's see ---
    Starting Weight = 126
    Goal Weight = 123


    Hmmmm.....I'm not doing so well with this month's challenge. I've hit the dreaded plateau. Doing everything I can to get past it, but I'm not sure it's going to happen soon enough. :(

    Having a bit of a rough time this week! :sad: I don't think I will be losing any weight. My husband just started his holidays and we have been eating out alot. I got to get back on track. This morning I jumped back on that treadmill before the sun outside would change my mind. I lost 60 pounds, I just need a little bit more motivation to lose the other 60 pounds. Plus, did anyone else notice it gets harder, it seems at first I would lose 2 to 4 pounds a week and I would eat more and not exercise. Now, I need to exercise, eat less and I still have a hard time to lose even 1 pound a week! It's so discouraging. Sorry, I had to vent! :(

    Nothing, I've hit another wall. I think I need to eat more (which is still sounds weird), I'm burning too many calories and not eating enough back.

    We've still got 3 weeks left in this challenge.. How's everybody doing? Kicking it up a notch? Coasting?

    I'm doing week 4 of C25K, drinking more water, and trying to tame my dinners so that I can get back to losing atleast a pound a week. I have too far to go to just maintain! :)

    Oh, I really don't want to coast. I want to move in the right direction. it does seem like I've been floating lately. not moving forward or moving backwards. I am going to put my best foot forward for the next 3 weeks so I can see this weight come off once and for all.

    165.8 today, can't believe that I'm only down .2 for the month. it has been a lot of ups and downs this month. but surprisingly, my clothes fit better, I am buying smaller sizes. my belly is finally shrinking. I feel stronger. so why won't the scale agree with me??

    Back from my summer holidays(part 1), back home for a couple of days then I am back on summer holidays(part 2). I am just writing in to let you all know, I am the same weight, I am not losing but I am playing around with 2 pounds, which I hate. I have trouble when I go visiting places for my holidays. I noticed I am having trouble getting back on track too. Any advice from any other fellow travelers out there?
