I updated the spreadsheet this morning, but forgot to post in the thread Now I'm on the wrong computer and can't access the spreadsheet....
OK, weigh in... 203.6 - I've lost something, but I'm not sure what, because I updated the spreadsheet without making a note of my old weight first :noway:
So close to goal now!! .4lbs to go!
Well done everyone on your losses, well done Cschu for breaking your plateau! I love looking at the spreadsheet and seeing how much weight we've all lost together, we've done so well:drinker:
Edit: just worked it out, I've lost .8lb this week!0 -
I am less then 2 lbs away from the 20 lbs lost mark! I am waiting to see that nice number by the end of the month. I haven't lost anything. So I am hoping by adding in Jillian Michael's 6 week 6 pack and 30 day shred for this month will give my body a change. Although I am still Kickboxing :-). Plan on following a more strict diet starting this week. We got this in the bag team! We all should be proud of ourselves thus for.0

oh dear,, haven't lost an ounce or gain an ounce,, I weigh extactly I weighed last week did not make change to spreadsheet.
Hopefully, next week will see some improvement but...... if not,, I am PROUD of myself for losing so much since May, most of my weight loss was from October, when I first joined MFP. Back in May, I was 283, now I am 253.6,, a huge improvement -- 30 pounds!0 -
Woohoo!! I did it!!
Not only did I do it - I smashed it lol!!
My weigh in this week - 200.4, down 22.6lbs in total:drinker:
Thanks everyone for the support and good luck to everyone crossing the finishing line - you can do it! This has been a fantastic group and we've all come so far together, I never truly believed I'd actually lose 20lbs, and at the same time nearly hit that massive milestone of ONEderland!!!
Big, big, thanks to Cschu for setting up the group and sticking with it all the way through, You've been fantastic :flowerforyou:
Well done and good luck everyone!0 -
As we gear up for the final Sunday before Christmas, I just want to say I'm proud of each and every once of you for giving this challenge everything you had. I missed the mark by 3 pounds, but I am very proud of the weight I did lose in just under a month. Many of you have KILLED the 20 lb mark, and kept going- What an amazing loss!! I am so proud.. you don't even know. Later today I'll pull our final numbers from the spreadsheet, and we will see how our progress has really been.
I'd like to Thank you all for sticking with me through these last few months as we tried to avoid all the tasty, tempting holiday foods. I will be making a new challenge for Valentine's Day. Keep an eye out!
You're all an inspiration to me, and the reason I keep going on my journey.
Please enjoy your holidays, eat that cookie, you've all earned it.
Much Love-

My weigh in today is 163, so I've lost 14.4 for the challenge so far. I don't think I will lose 5.6 pounds this week to make it to 20, BUT I REALLY think I will lose at least 1 to make it to a healthy weight at 162!! I'm really excited about hitting that! I am off this week so I will get to zumba &/or go to the gym every single day this week. That will offset the not so great eating that will be happening, haha I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!! 0

WEIGH IN /CHECK iN
As of 12/18 i'm at 167---total loss is 21.5!! so far (8 pounds from healthy BMI!!!)
down another 2 pounds!!!! even though i bumped my weekly weight loss goal to only half a pound per week
AND ate all my exercise calories
AND sometimes went over
(BUT still worked out A LOT!)
this week's NSV did another 10K yesterday and shaved off 2 minutes from my previous 10K total time! ( and still beat my size 4 zumba teacher)
12/10
holding at 169!!!
down another half a pound
holding at 19.5 TOTAL loss (even though the ticker shows 20)
For DEC started DOING RIPPED IN 30 everyother day...plus the usual work out schedule (teach 3 spin classes, teach 1 cardio/strength training/core class, run 4 to6 miles at least one day per week, 60 min zumba one day per week, and if it doesnt rain on sunday ride my bike 40 or more miles)
nonscale victory: today i am wearing my size 12 Anne Taylor lined wool pants (no stretch and not oversized) and they are soooo looose i look silly! and can slide them off without unbuttoning! OMG!!! time to open my suitcase of formerly retired skinny clothes.
when I weighed in today the digital scale kept bouncin back and forth between 168.5 and 169 -- I actually saw 168.5 several seconds before that TEASE of a scale settled down to 169
Hit me with some James Brown: I FEEL GOOD...
12/3
169.5
total loss = 19!!!
11/30
171 pounds
total loss = 17.5
( 1 more pound and I will be at my halfway mark to ultimate goal)

total loss = 16 lbs!
11/20
no change... 173 and holding...but i have worke out a lot!.... and eaten a lot this week...
11/13
lost another half pound!!! down to 173--that is 15.5 total pounds
non scale victory -- pulled out my old LUCKY jeans that i have not even dared to try on in ages due to the discomfort of tight tight tight jeans and....drum roll please....they fit! loose! not super loose but loose enough to def. say they were loose! maybe i will just wrap up my honeymoon jeans under the xmas tree?
still plan to stay focused on 1 to 1.5 pounds loss per week and NOT losing too fast and therefore losing muscle.
working on eating almost all my exercise calories. doing at least 45 min of cardio PLUS jillian's SHRED daily.
sleeping 8 hours, eating 4 to 6 veggie portions per day.174.5 (down half a pound)
worked out 45 minutes every morning AND added nightly shred video...AND did a 10k race on Saturday
BUT this was my highest calorie week since i started MFP and i was over goal like half of the week so i am grateful for losing at all.
this coming week the goal is 1.5 or more pounds down
lets stay totally focused EVERYONE!
nonscale victory: ran the 10K... cut about 30 seconds off of my average pace AND was ahead of my super fit size 4 gal-pal at the end!0 -
Merry Christmas!!! Weigh in today is 159, down 4 lbs!! My total loss this challenge is 18.4, so just 1.6 away from reaching 20 lbs. I'm pretty happy with that!! I still have a long way to go, but I'm motivated & really want to meet my ultimate goal before summer!! will there be another challenge? 0

Merry Christmas everyone! I stepped on scale and surprised myself with another 2.4 pounds lost in spite of all those candies I made (and ate) and lost a total of 15.8 pounds for the challenge.. That's more than I dare to hope! It's not 20, but still,, it's a huge acheivement for me as I struggled all my life with my weight. Since May (last offical weighin at doc), I lost a total of 32 pounds!0
