    Going to give it my best shot =)

    I started this month at 228lbs. I'm trying not to be obsessive about weighing myself, so i hope to step on the scale (or sit on it, as is the case of the scale at my job) at the end of the month and see 223lbs or less!

    My biggest challenge: Drinking water! I'm getting better about it, but my goal tomorrow is at least 9 glasses.

    Ok ignore what I said about my SW being 338 it isn't it is 336. I converted stones and pounds to just pounds incorrectly. It's annying as it means I would have had an even better result than I have. Anyhow never mind it's check-in time.

    SW = 24st 2lbs (336lbs)

    Week 1 = 23st 5lbs (329lbs)

    This week I've lost 11lbs :drinker:

    Well, my 1st day in, I injure my foot! So, I am waiting a week and then going to do the bike and less impact exercise for another 2 weeks..... almost done with week 1 of no exercise (I am super bummed). I am hoping that I can at least lose SOMETHING when I weigh in Sunday....

    Bummer. I did that and it put me out for months. i hope you aren't as unlucky. Good luck with the weigh in tomorrow

    I sure hope it is at most a month! I am going to try the spin bike monday and see how that feels...... Good luck to you too!
