    Up to 224.8 this week, so that's a 1.4 pound gain. Oh well. Not too bad considering my week.

    60 House points too.

    Checking in for the week. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

    I stayed on track for the most part. My thanksgiving meal was larger than a typical meal for me, but I planned ahead to allow for it and I managed to resist my sweet tooth for the whole weekend with a mountain of pies, cakes, and other goodies staring me in the face the whole time.

    I finally hit the 230s this morning, which also marks the 50 lb mark for me (yay :smile: ) and I can honestly say I have no idea the last time I weighed this much... it would have to be at some point in high school.


    Weight - 239.6
    House Points - 0 (Sorry! I let myself get too busy and just didnt work any time in for exercising)

    I wasn't tracking OWLs this week really, but it was probably around 5 if I had to guess.


    Hope everyone has a great week!

    High noon Ravenclaws! Well, almost.

    Still feeling the bummer of being back at work. Sure, the meals return to normal, but I MISS waking up on my own, lying in bed, and enjoying the sun peeking through the window. I miss vacation.

    Haven't had lunch yet, but yesterday my mom and I made those ziploked veggie snacks, so that should help get us back on track. It's so easy to do, and we have fun doing it. For those of you suffering From Thanksgiving, I recommend portioning our your veggies as snacks for the week. I'm much more likely to eat them if they're washed and ready to go.

    Another quick check in at 279.8, I'm sure due to the holidays and being super busy before and after. I did get 60 minutes of exercising in which earned me 2 OWLs along the way. Still chugging along, one day at a time.

    Check-in! Up 1 pound today, which I suspect is water weight. Gym workout was fab.

    We're still waiting for weigh-ins from:

    DefiningRaquel
    karinane
    kellyisfat
    lottee1000
    TrissieYounglove
    TwiFan5

    This month is going to be hectic for a lot of us. Let's give it our best and try to stay focused on our health goals while we celebrate the season! Off to bed now - Goodnight Ravenclaw!

    Sorry for the late check-in. I've been in bed for well over 24 hours (no idea what hit me, but definitely sick). The only problem is that I don't want to count my weigh-in for today (after a full day of being all kinds of sick, I ended up losing about 4.5 pounds, but I'm sure that's not permanent or actual fat loss).

    I'll go with Sunday's weigh-in instead:

    Weight: 228.5
    OWLs: Not tracking this week, I'll start up again soon
    HPs: If I had known I'd end the week this way, I would have opted myself out. As it is: 105

    Kelly, I hope you feel better.

    Finished the first of 2 presentations last night. I was definitely stressed, and didn't eat for several hours just focusing on my work. Tonight is my cousin's birthday, and then I have to finish that paper (chopping it from 13 pages down to 6).

    I notice that when I'm stressed, but focused on a certain project... I don't eat, like I don't have time for it.

    Yet, when I'm stressed and feel bad about myself- I can't keep from eating food.

    I thought that was interesting on how they swap, and was wondering if anyone else has this. I'm sure most have the second, but I was curious about the first. Maybe we could find a way to keep at the first rather than descending to the second.

    Down 1.2 pounds today, which is really just losing what I suspected was a gain of water weight. I'll take it.

    Workout was awesome tonight. I'm going to be able to add weights to all the bars by the end of the week. w00t!

    Doing my daily check-in!.
    Welcome back Penny - I'm glad your hubby is getting better! Don't worry about earning OW\Ls. You were busy taking care of your family. Totally understandable!

    Welcome Back! :flowerforyou:

    December Weekly Challenges
    **********************************
    I think that since the month of December is so hectic, we will make our challenges pretty simple. After this weekend's weigh-in, use these for the house challenges for the rest of the month:
    Food: Earn 1 OWL for each day you stay within 100 calories of your daily goal
    Exercise: Earn 1 OWL for each day you meet your personal exercise goal
    Spirit: Earn 1 OWL each day you drop in a leave a little note for your housemates

    I hope that these will at least keep us focused on our own health goals through the holidays as well as keep us all in touch with each other. The inter-house challenges will be the same, so remember to post your weight and house points each week along with your OWLs.

    Oh - and by the way, remember to post your December goal weight. This will be your New Year's goal so make it special!! :drinker:

    my december goal weight will be a hard one, 185.8 lbs, which will get me out of the obese category :drinker:

    i'm not gonna go crazy if i don't reach this goal, but hopefully this will be extra motivation for me to stay on track over christmas....we'll see...

    Evening Ravenclaws :wink:

    My December goal is 60kg // 132.2lb. 60kg was the figure I had in my head many moons ago when I sort of roughly plotted how much weight I wanted to lose and by when. Plus it'd be nice to start 2012 at 60kg, an even start before I continue on to my longer-term weight loss goal.

    It's November 30th and the scale said 142 this morning!! That means I hit my November goal!!! WOOOOOOT

    My December goal will be to reach 320. (Then I'll only be 100 pounds over what it says on my driver's license.)

    Also, it seems that 8 pounds would be reasonable to reach for a normal month, which might inspire me to stay straight when it comes to holiday food. :)

    Come to think of it, I hit 150 this morning (YAYYYY) which means I made my November goal too! Now, if I can just hold onto it for my official weigh in this weekend! Its been a very elusive number for me!

    I think that I am going to change my December goal to 145 instead of 150. Even though I've been struggling to reach 150, my MFP goal is 145 and I'm so close! It would be really cool to reach that milestone before the close of 2011!!

    OMG I'm so sorry I forgot to log my weigh in for week 4, I didn't get a chance to weigh in so will keep my weigh in at 101 Ibs again I am sorry, for my December's goal I will put 98 Ibs and I will get back on track with my OWLS and House points though house points are fairly easy.

    good morning all!! i stayed on track with food past 2 days but not back into working out yet. got a quick peek on the scales this morning...not good!! it never seems to matter as much how i eat, it seems to be more about working out for my weight loss. gotta get back at it. still lots going on at home and stress level VERY high. really hoping to get a workout in tonight. have a great day Ravenclaw!!

    December Goal = I would like to make it to 225 lbs
    This doesn't seem big but like a lot of you I'm sure, I have big meals and plans every weekend this month (sometimes twice in one weekend). So if I stay the same weight I'll be proud...but if I loose then yay!

    Exercise is key - I just need to make it to the gym in the morning and I'll be alright!

    Hello Ravenclaw!! Work is getting really busy and I've had to put in some overtime, but I still managed to get in a bit of a walk today. I'll be glad when this current class is over and I can put it behind me - final exam is on Dec. 23. Between work, family and classes, there's precious little time for me. Hope you all had a wonderful Thursday!!
