W8 9/22: 200 - was 199.5lb yesterday woooohoo! It's going! I started going to the gym now as well! 10.8lbs down since the beginning of this challenge; I'm gonna crush this 20lb goal!

What I've learned about myself:

CW 261.9
GW 240 (or less!)

W1-7 in previous posts, cut to avoid overly long posts.

W8 9/22: 248.4. Down .2 from last week. Best this week was 247.0 yesterday and Friday, but I way overdid it tailgating yesterday. The team won 72-20. No tailgating the next 3 weekends, but it is our anniversary and my birthday next week, then back to back weddings the next two weekends.

W9 9/29: 246.4, best 245.6 yesterday. It’s my anniversary today and my birthday on Wednesday!

W10 10/6: out of town. 246.8 on the 4th, 248.4 on the 7th.

W11 10/13: 244.4. Best this week: 243.6 yesterday. Down 2 lbs from my last “official” weigh in 2 weeks ago. Yesterday marked the last of my 3 week long “event” period, with my wedding anniversary, my birthday, and 2 weddings. The previous 2 weeks were basically maintenance weeks, but i feel I’m back on track this week and ready to keep moving forward.

W12 10/20: 245.4. I’m up a pound from last week, but I am down an inch from my waist and an inch and a half from my hips, so there is that. And I’ve lost 16.5 this challenge and 26.5 total. Back to tailgating next week, then 2 consecutive 13 hour days for conferences the next week. Fun stuff.

W13 10/27: 241.8 yesterday for a 30lbs total loss and 20lbs for the challenge. Back up today after tailgating yesterday, but only 3 days with students and an actual day off this week on Thursday. So, feeling pretty good. Was hoping to be below 240 by the end of October. May not hit that, but should be close.

What I've learned about myself

CW: 164.2 lbs
GW Dec 2019: 150 lbs
UGW: 140 lbs

Wk 7 9/15 - 164.2 lbs
Wk 8 9/22 - 164.4 lbs, technically last Friday when I started with MFP again, I was at 166 lbs, so I’m ok with this. Plus I have given up the massive amounts of sugar that I’m used to consuming which meant I had a massive migraine for 3 days and could barely function. I’m off the hooch, (and by hooch I mean those 1.25 liters of Coke and candy everyday) and feeling so much better.
Wk 9 9/29 - 162.4 lbs
Wk 10 10/6 - 161.4 lbs
Wk 11 10/13 - 160.8 lbs - I’ve been bouncing around all week because my youngest is celebrating his birthday tomorrow and we had family parties and whatnot all week. Hopefully this coming week will be a little better. Also celebrating more than 30 days with no soda! I’m so excited!
Wk 12 10/20 - no weigh in
Wk 13 10/27 - 160.2 lbs - depression has gotten the best of me recently so this month has not been the best for having a loss. I’m going to be ok with this though and try to just remember that I lost a little/maintained and it will be ok. I highly doubt I can lost 10 lbs by the 1st of December but I will try.

32 days left until December 1st. I'm in!
I hope to lose a stone so around 14lbs. Ambitious but hey aim for the moon...if you miss you'll hit a star.

Will weigh myself tomorrow and post CW and GW. Wish I had found this thread earlier.

Uhhh, really nice.
I don't need to lose 20 pounds more like 16, but I am in. Woould be really cool. I had my personal challenge to make it until December, 15th. But 1st would be even better. How are you guys doing so far?

Hi all, just wanted to share the progress of my weight loss journey and because I hit the -20 lbs challenge weight today, along with -80 lbs. since I started April 6th of this year. I'm still going to continue with this challenge and may even float about the 200 lb mark, but I am there as of today anyway. I'm now 20 lbs away from my ultimate goal of -100 lbs.
