    Last Week - 120 lbs
    This Week - 119 lbs? O.O That's what my scale said after going to the bathroom (I just woke up), but I'm using a different scale today. ohwell When I get on my digital scale at my parent's place, I'll know for real. The digital scale always reads higher. grumble

    Btw my target is .5 pounds per week.
    I'm hoping to break my plateau once school starts. I'm actually more active during the school year. Plus I'll actually have a seminormal sleep cycle. laugh

    Note: This is weird. There are like two of the same threads.

    My goal is to continue losing at 2 lbs per week. I'm been doing pretty good at it that past 2 weeks.

    i haven't had a chance to go to the gym (where the scale is) today but will post again when i do. i cheated a bit this weekend (especially saturday) but was pretty good yesterday so hopefully i'll at least see a little loss. when i weighed myself yesterday i was up 3lbs from the day before but i'm hoping that was just the drinks from saturday night and that hopefully some of that will come off quickly (like...today). wish me luck! and y'all are doing awesome!

    okay just went to the gym for a few minutes to weigh in andddd...

    157.6

    not fabulous, in fact 3 lbs up from where i was last week (154.5), but still down 1.4 lbs from yesterday! hopefully i'll be able to get down a little more over the course of this week and have a less crazy weekend (although that's never really guaranteed...) plus i've been going to the gym like a maniac lately so maybe some of it is muscle? i don't know but can always hope i guess.

    so i guess SW: 154.5, CW: 157.6, and GW: 125

    I'm up a pound!!
    I did have some things to drink Friday night but other than that I've been eating healthy and going to the gym everyday. Maybe next week will be better.

    I'm all for changing weigh in day to Friday haha! I cheat on the weekends and I think a lot of us are still carrying around water weight from eating/drinking bad. If everyone wants to keep weigh in day Monday then that's fine too. What do ya'll think?

    My normal weigh in day is Friday's so Fridays are good for me. I weigh in on wednesdays for my other thread I'm following.

    I know some people are opposed to weighing in more than once a week, but could we maybe do weigh-ins on Friday AND Monday? Because I know weighing in yesterday after two nights of drinking gave me a lot of motivation to work hard this week to get it off. So maybe like a baseline kind of thing on Friday and then a motivation weigh-in on Monday? Or maybe make the weigh-in day Wednesday as a half-way point? I don't know those are just a few thoughts.

    I really like the idea of two weigh ins, Friday and Monday, or Friday and Wednesday. One of them could be optional -- the Wednesday one for example -- so people who only weigh once a week would not feel pressured to weigh in more than once. Otherwise, Friday works for me, if that's the will of the group. :)

    Random Happy: I just power-walked 3.2 miles, and "slow walked" for 30 minutes...that's over 300 calories burned and one day closer to a stronger, healthier body. I feel good!

    Hey everyone! I agree that Mondays might not be the best time to weight in... lol... but Fridays sounds great :D For me it also depends on when I can make it to the gym to use the scale. But I'm sure I didn't lose anything this week. In fact I'm pretty positive I didn't :blushing:

    So here's to making this week GREAT!!

    I like the idea of two weigh ins also. Friday and Monday. It's good to know how the weekend affects weight. :smile:

    i was down to my pre-weekend weight this morning - 154.6 - i was so excited, and then had a good workout, a good food day and am not planning to go out tonight (who'd have thought i'd be happy to have studying to do so i could avoid going out and getting trashed!) so i'm pretty happy! yay!

    UGH to roommates who are AWESOME cooks and make a pre-first-day-of-class meal of pasta/meat sauce, bruscetta, a mozzerella/tomato/asparagus salad, and cupcakes!!!

    I swear, the week I finally make it without going over calories is going to be amazing...

    a mozzerella/tomato/asparagus salad sounds AMAZING. Does it happen to be low cal? It sounds like it would be. And are your roommates nice enough to give you the recipe. lol.

    By the way. Down to 275 this morning. 4 pounds down from my weekend weight.

    yikes, roommates sound dangerous! That's one reason I'm looking forward to going back to school to my little bachelor apartment all alone lol no more temptation from my boyfriend' fast food addiction, or my brothers' and dad's constant snacking :laugh: all alone, i can only buy what is good to eat...and hopefully not run out and buy a bag of those little halloween candies that are on sale everywhere now :grumble: hehehe

    I don't go school and I only have my daughter. I do buy her little treats though. I've been very good about not eating her little treats. I'll give her one of the treats and eat an apple instead!

    Hey guys. I'm trying to find snacks, other than granola bars, that can easily be brought to class. My schedule is such that I often don't have time for a proper lunch and so I need something i can eat in class. Any ideas? Thanks!

    veggies just try not to crunch so much. My teachers didn't mind. grapes work well too.
