Start Date July 15 Starting weight 192 (goal = 169) (23 pounds)
Week 1 July 22 CW = 189.8 / Loss - 2.2 / total loss = -2.2
Week 2 July 29 CW = 189.8 / Loss = BIG FAT ZERO (TOM) / total loss = -2.2
Week 3 August 5 - on vacation
Week 4 August 12 – on vacation
Week 5 August 19 - CW = 190.4 / Gain of 0.6 / Total loss = 1.6
Week 6 August 26 - CW=190.4 / no change, but no gain, either! / Total loss = 1.6
Really REALLY wish that I was farther along than this, but I know that is my own dang fault for slacking off on the exercise while I was on vacation. I'm choosing to take this as a life lesson to remind myself of what I already know and that is: I have to stay on top of my diet and exercise ALWAYS.
ALWAYS. :noway:
Every time I've put on weight in the past it has been because I thought that I could start "slacking". I think maybe now it is sinking in.
Anyways - thanks for listening to my rant.0 -
I totally understand. I wish I was farther along already too, but because I ate like crazy on vacation (even though I did tons of walking and taking the stairs) I gained almost 7 lbs (10 total but 7 for this challenge). So don't feel bad, I am only down 4lbs due to the gain. We'll get there. Slow and steady wins the race and we learn life lessons along the way!!! It's a win win situation, I would say!!Start Date July 15 Starting weight 192 (goal = 169) (23 pounds)

Good Morning everyone! I stayed the same this week, but I'm not upset. Matter of fact I'm over joyed with my progress. Who would have thought I was going to be so successful. My husband asked me not to lose any more weight
. Everyone at work has started noticing (finally!) and I have received hugh compliments. It pays to stay focused.

Up a little but that is ok, I will see a loss next week.
That is a great attitude to have. :bigsmile:0 -
Start Date July 15 Starting weight 185
Week 1 July 22 185 o lost
Week 2 July 29 187 +2mad mad mad
Week 3 August 5 183 -2 from starting weight!drinker drinker
Week 4 August 12 184 +1 need to stop playing with the mid 180's and get into the 170's
Week 5 August 19 184....mad mad at least I am not going up
Week 6 August 26 185...up one back to where I started and getting a bit frustrated here. I need to make
sure to log everything. I was really hoping to be out of the 180's by now!
To those who have already posted glad to see so many are doing great. :flowerforyou:
I am really doing great with my working out, I just need to get my eating under control. Evenings seem to be my weak time right now. I need to get some quilt blocks going that need hand sewing so my hands are occupied when I sit down at night to watch tv...maybe that way I won't eat.
Have a great day! I have already burned 300 calories today with my morning walk. (I have been shooting for 3 workouts per day that burn 300-400 calories each)
I know what you mean about getting out of the 180's. I am finally almost there. I know you can do it. You are so right to track everything. If you put everything in in the morning, you will feel more compelled to keep to your schedule. Hang in there, it will come off sooner than you think. :bigsmile:0 -
Everyone has done a fantastic job over the last week. Some people have lost over 10 pounds since this thread was started. Those are amazing results. Keep up the great work everyone. :bigsmile:0

Week 7
Week 23 December 23 Christmas Eve is Tomorrow!
My goal is to lose 20 lbs. by Christmas to bring me down to 120 lbs. But I'll be happy at 125 (I'm short and very small framed). If I meet my goal, I'll go shopping for myself at all the after-Christmas sales!!! I'll probably do it anyway, but I won't feel guilty about it; it will be my reward.... hmmm what should I get, maybe a smoking hot outfit for New Years Eve?0 -

Oh, I feel your pain. We're close, but those pounds are coming off sooo slowly. I'm not sure if I should try to switch something up or just bear with it and try to shed it little by little. If you have any epiphanies let me know!0 -
Hi All,
Just thought I would take a break from work to say hi and I hope you are all having a good week so far.
Tonight I take my measurements and see if I've lost some more inches with the lbs I have lost this month. I only plan to measure once a month and last month I was quite pleased.
This weekend I am going to FanExpo which is like the Canadian version of ComiCon so hopefully I will have some great pictures and buy some really cool stuff.
Take care and be good to yourselves,
Tammy0 -

Switching things up will help wake your body up. Once your body gets use to a routine, that is when you plateau. Switch up your workouts, that will help tremendously. :bigsmile:0 -
