    Honestly. Is it too much to hope for a weight loss EACH week? I don't even care if it's only 0.1 pound -- I'm just tired of the lose-gain-lose-gain cycle......

    Weigh In For Tuesday September 20th: 143 pounds
    Same as last Tuesday which means I maintained the pound I lost the previous week.
    This is an accomplishment as I was out of town from Friday to Monday so didn't log my food and allowed myself treats. I did exercise while away though and I did really watch what I ate yesterday.

    9/6 SW: 147.2
    9/13: 145.8
    9/20: 144.4

    another 1.4 loss... maybe if I stay consistent like this I'll hit my goal. Its nowhere NEAR my Friday weight though but considering I completley blew it this weekend, I'm TOTALLY okay with my loss. I'm still not focused like I want to be. I'm going to get to the gym today during my lunch hour... I think if I get back into the swing of doing that.. that I will be okay.
  • Well, not exactly what I was expecting, but at least I had a loss. Down .4 today.
    Great challenge also! I'm pretty sure cutting carbs will be very helpful for me, now I just gotta stick with it. Thanks!

    Down a half lb. this morning and I'll take it!!! TOM has finally left the building so I was hoping for a good number this morning....love the new challenges Rose!! Carbs are such a weakness here. Congrats on everyone's loss big or small, and if you didn't lose...this is a marathon, not a sprint as someone said, it's hard to not get discouraged but hang in there and NEVER give up!

    Been sick with stomach bug since Saturday night. Haven't eaten much or drank much in the last 2 days. So this weigh in probably shouldn't count for me. I'm sure once I am able to eat again it will go up, But gosh that weight sure looks good.

    This weeks weight 153.8
    Last week was 154.7 so down 0.9 which I am happy about. Exercise has improved and I am back to eating better.

    Sometimes I think when we get near our goal we undermine or jeopardise it not sure why? I am very happy to be this size!!

    Looking forward to this weeks challenges - I will need to do some reading :)

    So my weight is the same 190--Considering my sweet intake last week, I am very glad it stayed where it was. I am back on track this week!

    I've decided to revise my goal to 179 might as well get below 180!!
  • Checking in this week at 130...hardly a loss, but considering TOM not terrible I guess...really hoping for some progress next week...

    NSV!!!

    First.. I actually made it to the gym today.. super proud of myself for going even though I was trying real hard to talk myself out of it and go shopping (even though I do still need to buy black fondant because I hate making black).

    Second.. going to the gym during my lunch hour I see the same people once in a while. I keep to myself though and don't really talk to any of them.. well I hopped on the elliptical next to a girl I've seen a hundred times and when I'm done I go to clean my machine and she goes "you've really lost a lot"

    I don't know why hearing it from a complete stranger makes me feel so good but it does. and who knows maybe I'll get a gym buddy out of it.

    Did my cardio exercise 3 days. Was not able to do strength training like I wanted to. Was sick over the weekend and just took it easy for a day or so. I also ate late last evening, so it reflected in my weight. But I will keep trying with the exercises and other challenges. I'm bound to get it right one of these days! I beats not trying at all!!
  • I got in a NVS! I walked five miles after work. Whoohoo to me.:wink:

    I never, ever, ever watch it live. I always watch the free online episodes at NBC.com. They usually post them the day after.

    I'm opposite.. I pay an insane amount of money monthly to my cable company so I can record 4 shows at once so I miss NOTHING! lol.

    I definitely will be watching Biggest Loser tonight.. I'm totally curious to see how Anna is going to do.

    Hopefully it'll be the kick in the *kitten* I need.

    I too am so inspired because, well of course one of them shares a name with me (and adult Olivia's are harder to come by than little ones) and really, I never saw them making it. They were so good and dedicated and their attitude transformation is one of pure motivation. If they can do it, I CAN TOO!!!!! And um yeah, I wanna be that hot tooo!!!!!

    I will not watch tonite, but tmrw on hulu.com, so those of you who love to spoil (ah-hem my dear friend leslie) shhhhhhhhhh! :ohwell: Did someone say anna is back? I don't have regular TV (everything I watch is online), but if she is it'll be good to see her back - what's with her coming back? BTW, was there ever any dish about Rulan and his decision to leave the show?

    off to workout with the neighbor, because even though I don't wanna, I DO wanna see similar results to this week. Dying to be in the 150s (159) in 1 week. That'll just be the "cat's meow" as they say
