    Down slightly to 62kg. Nice to see a round number, but will be even nicer to to see less than 62 next week!

    Sorry for slacking off ladies!!! I've come to realize that I am such a busy person!!! Especially since I have two kids; a one year old and a four year old...who never let me on the computer -_- .

    Btw !!! I am soo sick!! I've never had a flu as bad as this!! And both of my kids have it; hopefully the hubby don't get it. So ladies---off-topic...what do you think about the flu shot? I had it last year...and wow I don't know if it was a great year but I didn't get sick like this!! .......So how are you ladies doing??? I wish this thread would be more active......I know we are soo busy with out lives! So what's new? Anything interesting to share???
  • Thanks Oliveoil!

    Yeah I'd love to know how everyone is doing on MFP? How long have you been here and if you are happy with your results?

    It's only been about a month for me and I lost the first week and then nothing!!!!!
    I thought it would be easier to lose weight than this.
    I have been doing Weight watchers for a long time and exercise daily, so I didn't just start here with new habits to form. I eat well and stick to below the calories I'm entitled to daily so I don't get why I'm not getting somewhere.

    I'll stick it out because I don't aim to quit, but it would be good to hear what others think of MFP - if it's helped etc.

    Thank you so much again for the chart, I can understand why you're not on here as often as you would like to with your kids to look after and of course not being well either makes it even harder

    I do hope you get well soon, it's bad enough if you're not feeling quite right without being poorly with the 'flu

    Little_Miss I'm doing OK on here, apart from a bit of a blip last week. Are you exercising and calorie counting or just cutting calories? One thing that was suggested to me by EmpressM was to measure as well as weighing, hopefully you are seeing some results there even if the scales aren't showing anything different and maybe that will motivate you too xx

    I am still the same weight 181.6. Which isn't bad considering Thanksgiving I ate to many bad foods. I need to learn to stay away from the craft sale bake tables. I try to convince myself that it is for the kids. Most of it is but I caved and had 1/2 a cup cake:(

    I just get so frustrated being the same size after all this time. I am waiting for my doctor to send forms to get blood work. I have to find out if I am in menopause and if my thyroid is acting up again:( Both would cause my weightloss struggle and the tons of other sympthoms. So hoping it is waiting in the mail today or tomorrow.

    I'm a little shocked I *lost* weight over Thanksgiving weekend with the amount I ate. I'll take it though!

    Hi all!

    Just letting you know I won't be weighing in this week as the scales I've been using for this are at work and I'm on annual leave this week

    Good luck to all for the weigh in on Friday, I'll be back weighing in as usual next week xxx
  • @Oliveoil - Sorry you've been so sick hon! That sounds awful. I'm all for flu shots. I know that the whole immunization issue can be sticky, but for me (and my family) it works. I can't remember the last time I had the flu. **knocks on wood…

    @Little_Ms - I've only been on here for about 6 weeks and I'm down almost 7 pounds! Much better results than I had on my last two weight loss attempts this year. I've been counting calories, and exercising everyday. And, I eat back most of my "earned" exercise calories too.

    I haven't weighed myself this week (I've been weighing myself on Mondays like I used to before) so we will have to see if I'm still moving in the right direction.

    This is a happy weigh in for me!!!!!! I lost 2.4 pounds. 5.8 Pounds to go and I won't be consider over weight anymore. I think I can definitely meet that goal by the time our 12 week challenge is up easy. And my hope is we continue on with another 12 week challenge because I am definitely not going to be at my goal weight yet. Cheers to Olive for making our team come together! On a personal note I am bouncing off the walls hyper today because my husband is going to be home in 10 days from is deployment! I just go the news the other day he is going to come home 2 days earlier then I expected!

    Last Friday: 141.2
    This Friday: 138.8

    Anyone else stuck with snow this weekend? I hope everyone has met their goals and has a great upcoming weekend! Good luck with getting everything prepared for the holidays!

    I guess Thanksgiving caught up with me. Gained .6 this week so I'm at 158.6.

    Went from 132.4 to 130.8 this week!

    And I thought I would gain after all that Thanksgiving indulgence!
  • @WillandAway-- Congrats!! Great weigh-in and great news--that is so exciting. :)

    I'm up this week. Still not sure what the deal is. I'm staying under my calories (I was even good for Thanksgiving) and I'm getting cardio everyday, but I've gained.

    This week is 122.2 up .6lbs.

    My scale is so inconsistent (I got several different weights today, as much as 3 pounds difference), but I hesitate to blame it. I just wish I knew what the magical formal for loss was. Of course, if I knew that I'd be skinny, rich and famous.

    *sigh*
  • Hi all. Lost 0.4 lbs this week.

    Hi y'all.
    Got the scale to move, again... it's been a long time.
    I lost 1/2 pound. 144.5 pounds.

    yasemasuyo my husband has been gone six months. He is only coming home for three week because then he has to leave for training, but I am so happy I get to see him even if it is just for a bit! How is Japan?

    EmpressM thanks for the congrats. I was stuck at 140 for 13 days. I didn't consume more than 1250 calorie each day and I made sure I burnt a 1,000 calories every day also, but the scale wouldn't budge. At Thankgiving I thought what the heck I will just eat what I want and skip working out because it was the holidays. Granted I gained a pound the next day, but my pig out helped me in the long run. My weight recently has been coming down reasonably fast. I weighed in at 136.4 today. So maybe a cheat day will work for you? But over all it seems you have been losing weight consistently each weigh in so just try not to get frustrated, but if you have been doing the same thing each day maybe considering switching things up! Good Luck!

    Friday I was 180.8. I am pretty sure that I gained it back after letting my diet get sabatoged on our weekend vacation. I did lose weight on our work weight in so I get a ticket for the drawing.

    Hoping to get back to the Y this week. I hate winter it is so hard to wake up in the morning or have enegry in the evening when it is dark all the time:( (I have no windows at work so I only see sunlight a little bit during Dec.
