    I had a pretty rough week with eating. One crazy eat-everything-in-sight-for-no-particular-reason day included. /sigh
    Still, I managed to lose. I changed my end goal to be a total of 4lbs lost since there's only four weeks in January and I'm at the tail end of my weight loss.
    Sadly, I don't think I'll even reach 4lbs lost for January but that's okay. At least the scale isn't going UP!

    1/1: 127.6
    1/8: 127.4
    1/15:126.4
    1/22: 125.6
    1/29:
    1/31: Goal: 123.6

    Lots of good results. Well done everyone! :bigsmile:

    My turn now I guess.

    1/1/12 - SW = 24st 2lbs (336lbs)
    8/1/12 - Wk 1 = 23st 5lbs (329lbs) - down 11lbs
    15/1/12 - Wk 2 = 23st 5lbs (329lbs) - no change

    22/1/12 - Wk 3 = 23 3lbs (327lbs) - down 2lbs

    I was hoping for a loss after last week. I was so busy I wasn't eating three meals a day and some days I was eating as low as 700 clories a day. This week i made sure I ate three meals a day and aimed for about 1200 calories and got a loss. I managed to fit in a little bit f exercise too which helped I'm sure.

    It is annoying hough that I needed just one more pound to have lost my first stone. Oh well never mind! :ohwell:

    Good luck for this week everyone. :smile:

    I got a message from someone asking if I am ok. I did not realize that it has been almost a week since I have posted. I have been checking in and reading everyone's posts but then running out of time to reply.

    I was finally down a pound this morning. I don't think I will make 5 this month but need to keep getting those workouts done and working on the healthy eating.

    I got 6 miles of walking/running on the treadmill. I am up to running 3 minutes at a time and then walking for 2. Next week run for 3 walk for 2. Hopefully I can get my endurance up. I am looking at a half marathon for August. We will see how the training and dieting go.

    I have been having lots of heartburn and stomach pain lately so on Tuesday I am having an endoscopy. Hopefully they can find the problem and help me get better.

    Lets all have a great week.

    1/1 216.6
    1/8 216.0
    1/20 212.0 .
    1/22 210.6 6.0 for the month with 10 days to go

    Went to 5 days of Maintenance at the start of the month and just switched to 1 Pound a Week loss until my son announced his wedding will be in August. Went into high gear with workouts and not eating all my net cals. My weight stalled. Then took an off day, switched back to 1 lb a week, had a slower day, and weight dropped again. Continuing with 1 pound a week and eating back about 1/2 of my workout calories. Will see how this goes.

    Monday... And I'm back with my tail between my legs... I had a terrible weekend; my eating was pretty much out of control most of the time. Weight is back up. So frustrated with myself! :explode:

    my last weigh in I was .4 away from my 5 lb goal. My husband has hid my scale because I was weighing myself multiple times a day. He told me I can have it on the 24th then he is taking it away again untill the end of the month.

    Starting was 222

    Last post 217.4

    Goal 217


    So my next update will be 1/24 then 1/31

    I am now doing the 30DS hopefully I will lose much more than my 5 lbs this month!


    I am back and I DID IT! I am currently 214.2.

    I lost 3.2 lbs with my first ten days with Jillians 30 DS. :)

    I have lost 7.8 total.

    I know there is only one week left but I am atempting to reach 10 lbs in Jan. 2.2 lbs to go. It will be tough but I think I can pull it off. Ill keep you all posted.

    Feel free to add me if you do the 30 DS or are just looking for more motovational friends!

    Hello hello my dears! It feels so weird not posting in this challenge as I've done so since May 2010!

    I just wanted to update those who try to keep up with me that I'm 11weeks pregnant today. We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time this past Thursday...amazing! The doc wasn't sure if my dates were right (or he was thinking multiples) so they had us go in the same day for our ultrasound. My date was on the nose, he just misjudged. We won't find out the gender til mid March and my due date is Aug 14th, 10 days after my birthday.

    Anyway, I miss you all and can't wait til I can start posting in here for losing again.

    Love ya's!
