    H4H SW 156.2
    9/13 154.6
    9/20 153.4
    9/27 153.0
    10/4151.2
    10/11 150.6
    10/18 151.2
    10/25 148.4
    11/1 148.8
    11//8 149.2
    H4H GW 150 (met 10/20!)

    up 0.4 again, but still under my goal weight for H4H. I'm taking my net calories back down to 1200 to see if that sends me in the right direction. It's frustrating to be so close to the finish line and not be able to touch it. The up-side is that I'm at a healthy weight, and feeling and looking better than I have in the last 20 years (tomorrow is my 9 month MFP anniversary).

    Hooray Michelle, for hitting a milestone!

    Hi everyone! It's been a while, but I haven't forgotten about you, and I'm back. :smile: I had a busy couple weeks, and I don't know that anything's going to calm down, but I have a better handle on everything, so I hope to get back into the groove of MFP. I didn't weigh in last week partly because I hadn't been on MFP in a while, but also, I will admit that I wanted to give myself another week to recover from going to my parents' for the weekend and stuffing myself with unhealthy food the entire time I was there. Here's my weigh-in for this week:

    SW: 135.0
    Week 1: 136.5
    Week 2: 134.0
    Week 3: 132.5
    Week 4: 134.0
    Week 5: 131.5
    Week 6: 130.0
    Week 7: 131.0
    Week 8: --
    Week 9: 131.0

    GW: 129

    I'm really hoping I can still make my goal weight, and I think it's still attainable. My gym is doing a program called something like "Maintain not Gain" for the holidays. I'm not sure what happens at the end, but I have to go weigh-in some time this week, and I guess if I don't gain weight over the holidays something good happens. I'm hoping to use that as a motivation to get back into exercising more because I've totally fallen off that bandwagon.

    I hope everyone has been doing well the past couple weeks. I'm hoping to be more active on the thread here, so I guess I'll find out soon enough!

    Either my scale is on the fritz (battery) or I had a GIANORMOUS weekend of calorie consumption!! Oy...
    The scale is reading 195...but that just doesn't seem possible to me...

    ANYWAY...I have a 'new' challenge for myself...I'm going to TRY to not step on the scale this coming week, at all...
    This is huge...I'm a multiple times a day weigher. BUT, I am fighting my way back, I've eaten well today, and even did a mini Olivia's Strength Circuit workout (I could only last through one circuit before I about died...but, at least I did SOMETHING) I literally haven't exercised in about 2 months.)

    I made a pork tenderloin over the weekend, and sliced up some sweet potatoes, tossed them in EVOO, salt & pepper and cooked them with the roast....OH MY GOSH, they were so good!!! Beautifully caramelized. So I bought four more pounds of them and I'm going to make a whole roasting pan of just sweet potatoes! They are my favorite fall food :heart:

    I'd like to give a special shout out to Michelle...CONGRATS!!! So proud of you, keep up the great work!!!

    Have a wonderful week!

    Today's weigh in: 141 pounds

    Lost the 3 pounds I was up last week.

    Feel good that I got the weight off that I gained but tired of the up and down. Just want to do the down and maintain!
    However, I know that means I have to make better food choices and exercise when I don't feel like it!
    If only it came off as easily as it went one!!!!

    Leslie, we grew sweet potatoes in our garden this year! I LOVE THEM!!! Was looking for something yummy with them and found a recipe that you chunk them and toss with olive oil, brown sugar, and chipotle pepper seasoning! Maybe a little sinful but awesome roasted to perfection!!:bigsmile:

    Glad that the scale is heading in the right direction...
    I am on day 4 of the 17 Day Diet- it feels good. I think it is shaking things up!

    No change for me this week, using my Sunday weigh in since I ate terribly on Monday and have chosen not to get on the scale since then..I ended up getting three different birthday cakes, one with friends, one at work and one with family, and overall, one of which I ate mostly on my own...will probably barely maintain this week but hopefully will do well in our last week...

    I'm so bummed MFP took away our signatures for our postings (well, except for our MFP weight loss ticker).

    I liked reading the extra information that everyone had within their signatures. Hopefully that will return soon.
