    Was 198 - now 197.5.

    So only 0.5 this week.

    I am on vacation next week and wont be able to check in. But hopefully I wont put too much on! I checked with the hotel and they have a gym and I am going to try and make good choices in my food.....try! ;-)

    Congrats on the losses one and all!

    Funny how right now every little ounce lost is such a slow process. I know inevitably if I stay at my 1200-1300 calorie regimen, burn 250-500 calories a day and eat some of those back, and avoid too much sugar and unhealthy foods, eventually this will fall off. But it would sure be easier to stick with it ifthe scale gave more promising messages.

    I am a little late for the Monday check in, but here it is :)

    SW: 277
    Last Weigh in: 270
    Weigh in 10/12/11 (Should have been for 10/10/11): 269

    WOOP WOOP! I know that it is only a pound, but I'd rather lose only one than gain one!

    I also started the gym this week, and I'm working with a trainer to do strength training :)

    Hope that everyone is having fun shedding these pounds!

    There's a reason I call my scale Cruella! She's evil! I think all scales are. I so understand, I seem to need to see those numbers on the scale get smaller.

    Just keep doing what you're doing and the lbs will come off.

    When I get discouraged by the scale:

    I'm finding one of the things that helps me lately is recongizing the changes I *have* made. For example, I calculate how many calories I would consume on an average day before-hand (3000+) and know that I have cut that in half. Look at how much I am exercising now, and other than the occasional walk I didn't really exercise before. I no longer have tim-bits (donut holes for the americans) I used to easily eat 700-1200 cals in tim-bits plus another 350 for an ice-cap for a SNACK, I now eat thar for an entire day :) Wow I have come a long way!

    What are your accomplishments?

    Good Morning Everyone!

    Last Week: 153.7
    This Week: 152.3

    Grand total of 1.4lbs lost this week.

    Slow but steady. Only 17.3 lbs until I reach that goal! Everyone is doing great!!! If I lose 1.4 lbs consistently every week for the rest of the challenge I should be right on target! *Fingers Crossed*

    Updated stats for this week:

    SW (for this challenge): 178.9
    9/26: 180.2
    10/3: 176.4
    10/10: 175
    10/17: 176.4

    That's 1.4 pounds gained this week for a net loss of 2.5. *sigh* I'm pretty sure this is water. I had huge burns this weekend, but then ate some salty foods. Hopefully, I'll be able to put up big numbers next week...

    216 this week. I'm shocked, I'm sick and pigged out yesterday (probably to maintain energy to spend time with the kids instead of sleeping as I should have).

    No loss for me this week. It is that TOM!

    I am actually up 3 lbs, but I know that is ALL due to TOM.

    So I am holding at my 274....can't wait until next week to see if there is really any change.
