    Well I have to say, not to be negative, but I am only down 11 lbs in 10 weeks. I should be losing 2 lbs a week! I know I will get there, I just wish it was less daunting.

    Week 1 July 22 - 177
    Week 2 July 29 - 177

    Week 3 August 5 - 174 (down 3, but is actually a week and a half. I had used Mondays weight)
    Week 4 August 12 - 172
    Week 5 August 19 - Not weighing in
    Week 6 August 26 -168.2 (if I lose 1.2 in the next 5 days I hit my first mini goal)
    * mini goal 167 by the end of August*

    Week 7 September 2 - 167.5 ( I am going to consider that a mini goal made)Labor Day is Monday
    Week 8 September 9 -167.2
    Week 9 September 16-168
    Week 10 September 23 -166
    Week 11 September 30
    *hoping to be 163

    Week 12 October 7 Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday
    Week 13 October 14 .
    Week 14 October 21
    Week 15 October 28
    *aiming for 155

    Week 16 November 4
    Week 17 November 11
    Week 18 November 18
    Week 19 November 25
    *aiming for 148

    Week 20 December 2
    Week 21 December 9
    Week 22 December 16

    Hello all. Great job this week everyone. Congrats to those who lost this week. I am so glad to see everyone in this group has such a positive attitude. I did a good job with my exercise this week. I worked out about 4 or 5 time during the past week. This is a huge accomplishment for me since I have had a lot of trouble with motivating myself to workout. I also started the Couch 2 5k program this week. I realized that I am not in good enough shape to follow the program as it is laid out. It will probably take me about 2 or 3 prelimenary weeks before I am ready to start the following the program to the letter. I have also committed to do a race on November 20 with my mom and a family friend. Anyway, I lost a pound in the past week, but I am going to need to step it up a bit if I am going to make my goal weight. I am aiming to lose 2 pounds by next week to play a bit of catch up.

    Start Date July 15 - Starting weight 179 lbs.
    Week 1 July 22 - 177 (-2)
    Week 2 July 29 - 175 (-2)
    Week 3 August 5 - 173 (-2) (-6 total)
    Week 4 August 12 - 172 (-1) (-7 total)
    Week 5 August 19 - 170 (-2) (-9 total)
    Week 6 August 26- 3 year Anniversary! Mini Goal weight = 169
    Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday
    Week 8 September 9 - 167 (-11 total)
    Week 9 September 16- 166 (-12 total)
    Week 10 September 23 - 165 (-1) (-13 total)
    Week 11 September 30 Mini Goal Weight 161.5

    On the C5K, I would do it how it is laid out, but just do week 1 for a couple of weeks then go to week 2 and do that week a couple of times and so on. I would not modify it. It is like any other program, they lay it out that way because it works. That is great that you are doing it. I am currently on week 6 and am really excited about my results so far. Since I have started, I have been slowly lossing a pound a week. You can do it and if you have any questions, just ask. :bigsmile:

    You might need to get more strict with your food choices. I know it is hard, but you can do it. Also, you might switch up your workouts a little. Your body might be needing a change from the normal. :bigsmile:

    Week 8 September 9 – 287.2 4.2 lost Woo hoo! I’m only a few days late but I’m definitely below 290 now.
    Week 9 September 16 – 285.8 1.4 lost total of 17.2 since we started

    You are doing so good, hang in there. You have lost just over 11 pounds that is fantastic. I do agree, make sure to journal all your food so you can see where you need to take things out or put things in. You will soon get back into the routine and everything will just come together. Keep up the awesome work. :bigsmile:

    Hi my friends ... my goodness, I feel like I've been neglecting everyone and everything. As you can see by the new profile picture ... renovations have taken over all of my spare time. It's a crazy amount of work that I want done. It will be well worth it in the long run ... I wish I was rich ... then I'd hire some young strapping men with names like Sven, Raphael, or Carlos to do the work. I'd be taking way more pictures then I do now if that happened. LOL

    Magglet you never get that lucky with the help you hire. I had someone in a few days ago to restretch a carpet. Not the best body but the worst was the view when he bent over to work on the carpet....not sure of his name but not the Carlos of your dreams!

    Well guys, please say some prayers, I have an interview tomorrow!

    I have been terrible w/my eating this weekend so I'm sure I will have a gain on Weds :sad:
    but I am will be back on track tomorrow.
    We were taken out to dinner by some friends on Friday night (mexican food) then today we were invited to dinner at other friends house for homemade Lasagna(msp). But it was sooooo good and helped get my mind off the current problems. I will be good from here on out!

    Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
