    Starting Weight for September: 223.2
    This week's weight: 223.2
    Goal Weight for September: 215
    Total Loss: 0
    Personal Goal: So far I haven't been on top of my game as far as working out which I know hindered my weight loss this week. I plan on buckling down and really getting down to business starting today!
    Comments: I just bought a TON of veggies and healthy foods so I know this will help and hopefully I will see a difference next week. Good luck everyone! We can do this!

    I weighed in on Saturday!

    Starting weight for September: 146.6
    This week's weigh in: 145.8 (-.8)
    Your goal for September: 142.6 (down 4 pounds!)
    Total Loss so far in September: .8
    How you are doing on your personal goal: I'm doing pretty well on my goals this month!
    Any comments you'd like to make: I have made my diary private because I was getting too self-concious about others commenting on what I ate (or didn't eat). I plan to get back to counting calories for the remainder of this month, and to try to stick to a net calorie goal of 1310-1530 (1 pound a week goal to half pound a week goal).

    Starting weight for September: 181lbs
    This week's weigh in: 180lb
    Your goal for September: 175lb
    Total Loss so far in September: 1lb
    How you are doing on your personal goal: Aiming to stay within calorie allowance of 1400. Exercising 2-3 times a week doing either Old school Reebok Step, Zumba or 30 Day shred...in between have been doing 100 sit ups a day. To consume at least a 1L of water per day. This is the general plan. Now that group is in swing will follow this.
    Any comments you'd like to make:
    I really struggle in the week coming up to my TOM and sometimes during TOM. I have a devil may care attitude and just want lots of bad things. So will make a conscious effort to eat well.
    I also need to take my thyroxine EVERYDAY...have been a bit rebellious with it..so will definately take that daily.
    Take multivitamin daily.
    Stay away from ALL sweets....these are a weakness & are just no good for me whatsoever...

    Feel free to add me

    Good luck guys :smile:

    How you are doing on your personal goal- eating low glycemic was not as challenging as I had envisioned. I haven't been doing it 100%, but I'm working on it!
    Any comments you'd like to make ....
    I'm really hoping to bust through the 240s this month. I've been stuck here since... ugh JULY. :explode: :explode: I had great success at first and I'm looking to get back to the sweet spot of weight loss I had going.

    simplysara- you're right, unless you're literally SHOVELING IT IN, there's no way you gained 6 lbs in a week. that would be an insane amount of food. GL, be patient, it will come off.
    vegangal84- I did the same thing with my diary. I will likely open it back up, but some days my meal plans are just not "ideal" and I'd rather just keep it all private for now.
    aset132- I've never dealt with quitting, but keep supportive people around you ::cough:: MFP ::cough:: and you'll do it :):) you've already admitted it scares you, and that's the hardest part!
    myiceisonfire- I'M IN PLATEAU-VILLE TOO!!!! I feel your pain. I've bounced between 242.2 (my lowest today) and 248 SINCE JULY. lose,gain,lose,gain,lose,gain. I'm going to start circuit training and see if that does the trick :) GL
    peanut228- chug chug chug :):) great job with the workouts, I could use some of your commitment :)
    Keiora- LOVE IT. keep it simple. I'm going back to basics myself :)
    prettytoxic- you're not the only one. Take it one day at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day ;)
    mandi- i got your friend req, thanks :):):)

    This is as far as I've gotten in replies, it's a busy day at work !!! lots of love to you all, I'll be back with more comments later :)

    How you are doing on your personal goal: Very slow progress.
    Any comments you'd like to make: Work is screwing me over by giving me bigger all hours, it's hurting my cash flow but allowing me to be in the gym everyday [except weekends, I work out at home on weekends]

    How you are doing on your personal goal : im starting to think that i was thinking big when i said i wanted to get down to 178lbs by end of september although i will give it ago.
    Also pretty dissapointed with only loosing 1lb this week when i have done really well. although it is that time of the month so maybe that effected me, i dunno.

    Starting weight for September = 161.2
    This week's weigh in = 160
    Your goal for September = 150
    Total Loss so far in September = 1.2 Now....
    How you are doing on your personal goal = Crappy since my boyfriend got out of school and I started again. I feel really self conscious if I workout around him, and I can only go to the gym Tues/Thurs/Sun. I might have to get my gym membership changed to go everyday again, but the money is an issue.
    Any comments you'd like to make = After yesterday's grease binge... I feel sick and angry at myself. I might just have been having one of those fat days (we all have them) and I'm sure I'll get over it. I haven't been able to get groceries for awhile, so my diet consists of Mr. Noodles and sandwiches at school.

    But fashion school is going great!! :)

    Sept SW = 246.9
    This weeks CW = 244.0
    Sept weight loss = 2.9lbs
    Sept GW = 236.9

    Personal Goal = To drink 8 glasses of water daily. This week it did not happen, but I am at least 6 glasses a day.

    This being my first week tracking and eating better, I had hoped for a bigger loss but darn TOM had to come yesterday and screw me all up!! Shouldn't your first weeks weight loss be high? And I am using the WW scale I bought at Costco but I am not that happy with it, it will give me a different weight literally if I weigh myself 2 min later. Any recommendations on scales??

    2.9lbs is good! Some bodies take time to adjust to change.
