    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!!!

    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)

    still holding at 172.5!!
    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!

    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? :)

    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!
