    Weigh-in today at 156.2. Not where I wanted to be but it is a loss.
    I need to find this weeks challenge and really focus on doing this.

    The same as last week. It's better than going backwards again i suppose. I never posted my trigger food so i suppose it's biscuits. I cant have just one of them so i try to keep them out of the house.

    up 1.8 this week. 144.4

    i'm okay with it honestly I've been way off my game, my sodium levels are through the roof. i'm actually taking a break (supposed to have started already) but I didn't want to drop out of the challenge completely. I actually have made myself a doctor appointment (first time I'll have been to the doctors since May of 2009) I've been super super exhausted lately, bruising super easy, so I think my iron levels are way down and I need to get on a supplement that wont affect my digestive system so much.

    I don't think I'm going to meet my goal for this challenge... even with 4 weeks to turn it around, I'm just not very hopeful.

    I lost 2 pounds this week!! This puts me at 10 pounds overall that I have lost since starting my journey. I was really focused last week. I know my trigger foods are sweets so I completely avoided them! I did not have one sweet all week! (that is HUGE for me) During the week I logged every morsel that went into my body and for the weekend I backed off a little from logging ( i am rarely home during the weekend with football games (I have younger siblings) and watching my niece.) I am feeling amazing and even though I had plans last night I got on the treadmill right when I got home from work and did a 40 minute run then took a quick shower and went and did my plans. I have to make working out a priority.

    This week: 175

    Goal for next week:
    My husband will be gone this weekend so I really want to work out both Saturday and Sunday. I have a few plans but I think I can get it done. I want another 2 on the scale!!

    and the yo-yo continues.... 161 this am. Theoretically I'm down 1 lb, but I've been up and down with the same 3 lbs, so I'm finding it hard to believe that it's real. So stuck, but not giving up. After my regular workout with my neighbor yesterday I added an extra 10 minutes. I suppose I should add something extra and really butt-kicking and different to the mix, like JM's BFBM or 30DS a couple days a week, but I feel like my time is already so packed I'm not sure where I'd fit it in.

    The good news is, one of my NSVs (remember those!?!?) if to get stronger and that's definitely happening. When I do the Gilad videos with my neighbor, the 8lbs are now my heavy weights and the 5lbs are my light ones (as opposed to 3 being light and 5 being heavy before). That's a great thing. I have not lost inches yet, but I'm not giving up on that. The stronger I get , the smaller I'll get, right?!?!

    Good start on my water - 4 cups down already. My mini-goal: 8 glasses by noon. I'm gonna move my office into the bathroom. LOL:embarassed:

    My weight has been jumpy this past week...I'm sure it's due to me taking a week off and just enjoying fall break with 3 kids...I had two on top of my one here last week...we went everywhere and did everything...and ate everything! So today I am logging me at 154 and hope to be back down to 152 by next week, hoping I just need a sodium flush!
    Olivia, I'm feeling like you today...really drinking the water here and am probably going to float away, lol.

    I'm down 1 more pound this week. I was really hoping to break into the 130's this week, so I'm a little disappointed, but at least the scale is still moving.

    142.6 pounds this morning therefore a 0.9 gain :( since last Tuesday so I will not be in green anymore but at least I posted the gain instead of hiding out which is what I did last time I gained a bunch of weight. This time I will not disappear off the thread after gaining weight I will just work to lose it again.

    189 today. I have been a little frustrated with my weight. But then I retook my measurements and a fitness test today with a better result so apparently I have been doing something even if my weight doesn't show it. Hope you are all well!

    Starting Weight on September 6, 2011: 158.4lbs
    Goal Weight by November 22, 2011: 143.0lbs

    Week One on September 13, 2011: 156.4lbs
    Week Two on September 20, 2011: 154.8lbs
    Week Three on September 27, 2011: Didn't weigh in. TOM.
    Week Four on October 4, 2011: 153.0lbs
    Week Five on October 11, 2011: 151.8lbs
    Week Six on October 18, 2011: 150.6lbs

    Down 1.2 pounds again. Pretty steady loss. I'm a little confused as to how I ended up losing weight... I binged a few times. :(

    I'm getting bored of the Walk at Home DVDS and it's getting too cold here for me to walk/run outside. I need to find something new to do. Any ideas?
    I'm thinking when I get paid on Friday I'll go pick up some hand weights (or an exercise bike.... or both...) and start on the 30 Day Shred. I've been wanting to for a while and now that I'm bored with my current routine it seems like a good time.

    Any ideas for at home videos or anything are appreciated. :]

    129.2 today...should be able to get more active on here really soon. Took a licensing test on Saturday and passed, so much relieved...also relieved I didn't have a huge gain as I let myself eat whatever I wanted last week...OMG, we're farther into this challenge than I realized...so sorry to have gotten lost for a while, but really glad to be back!

    H4H GW 150

    DRAT--up 0.6 this week. I've been eating foods with a bit more sodium this week, so don't know if that's part of it. I'm getting close to my goal weight, so I'm expecting a little bounce back and forth. I was really hoping to bid the 150's goodbye--maybe next week.
