    Nervous about Monday, although I'm sure I'll be nervous every Monday ;)

    I've had a decent week up until Thursday when I over-extended my knee...I still completed my friday C25K workout (although it was a little slower than normal). Went over for the first time this week yesterday. I was so tired, and my cravings were BAD, so my husband brought home these chocolate chip cookie lava cakes... 550 Cals. I only had about 200 to spare, so I went over. Later on I realized it was TOTM and it all made sense. Good thing I burned an extra 600-1000 cals every other day this week to make up for it!

    Trying to decide what I can and cannot do with my knee, its not painful yet, but I can tell its like its on the verge of an injury. *Might* attempt Turbo Jam during nap time today, but we'll see how it turns out!

    Hope everyone elses week is going well!

    I've been a bit worried about today because I've been ill and that always makes my weight go up. But there is NO CHANGE! I mean, it hasn't gone down but it's still a cause for celebration.

    What do they say, slow and steady wins the race. Well I'm losing still but very slowly. Another .5 this week puts me at 202. I can't wait to see how everyone is doing.

    Was EXTREMELY nervous to step on the scale this morning because I gained for our last weigh in, but luckily all this hard work paid off!

    Starting Weight: 157
    9/26: 158.5
    10/04: 154.5

    lost 4lbs this week for a net loss of 2.5 lbs for the length of the challenge! A little behind on the average expected weight loss for each week, but I'm gettin there! MOTIVATION is in full force!

    Great Job everyone! Keep up the great work!! I know this challenge and being able to come on here and type out my frustrations with food and exercise has been a HUGE help in keeping me motivated to get this extra weight off! I hope the encouragement and the outlet has been helping all of you! Thanks again Heather for setting this up!

    I enjoyed my eating a little too much this weekend, but thankfully the two week of reducing what my stomachcan hold helped me to stop at one cupcake and one slice of cake instead of the multiple I use to have. Weight today, 220 pounds.

    nitalynne58 – almost to ONEderland!!!!

    cds2001 – you definitely still have more time…and staying the same is still better than having a gain :)

    Awesome job on the losses….every little bit helps :) even losing .5 will add up :)

    Keep up the amazing work! We’ve still a while to go :D

    Hi! I'm checking in this morning at 165.8!

    That's down 1.8 from last Monday morning.

    I'm glad we weigh in on Mondays, it helps me to stay more on track over the weekend. I've normally been one to kind of take the weekend off and try to make up for it over the week, which is not really the best way to go.

    Office Potluck today here at work!! Brownies, Cookies, Chili, Green Bean Casserole, Fried Chicken, cheesy potatoes, and lots and lots of dips!!!

    Why do people EAT SO MUCH in this office??

    I'm sitting at my desk eating my leftover stir fry and joining in the festivities later when the food diminishes! Man I hope I can control myself!

    NO! I gained weight this week~! Back to 234.

    That's a 1.6 lb gain. Well, I guess it was expected. Nasty cold, too much sodium in canned chicken soup and popsicles, not to mention TOM this week. Going to doctor this afternoon, hope to get something to make me feel better. This coming week will be much better! I'm going to work super hard to lose that 1.6 plus I hope I at least one more.

    Good Luck to everyone else getting on that nasty scale today!

    Sorry, feeling really thick...

    Trawled through until I found a link to the online spreadsheet but there was no column for today so...

    Back to the drawingboard...

    Trawled some more...

    Found another link, copied and pasted...

    Got all nervous at the thought of having to log 'out loud'...

    Still no column for this week on the second link.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Everyone else seems to be logging away merrily! :sad:

    You can't edit the spreadsheet only Heather can. You just need to message her your weight or post it here.

    Here's my stat update in the right topic post!

    09/19/11: 163.3
    09/26/11: 163.6 (boo!) +0.3
    10/01/11: 160.7 (YEEHA!) -2.6

    Me too ... this way I keep really focused over the weekend, otherwise I'd be inclined to give myself a little treat! :smile:

    Challenge SW: 152
    9/27: 150
    10/3: 146!!!

    4lb this week, 6 lbs overall. I've been doing bootcamp at 5:50 am M-F since April, and usually a workout on the weekend, but hadn't seen any weight loss - just muscle gain. I finally started to except the problem was overeating, and have been really strict about 1200 calories a day (thank GOODNESS for the food and exercise log so I can't cheat myself!!) since the start of the challenge, and I think things are finally falling into place.
    Plus, this challenge is really good for me - I'm really competitive, even with myself, so now I have a goal I have to reach, which is great motivation!! Wowing my friends and family won't hurt either ;)

    Congrats to everyone working hard out there to lose the weight! It takes a lot of discipline! EEK!

    ~Kate
