* 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 16 182 Finally a drop -3 total lostdrinker drinker
    Week 11 September 23 185 Not a clue why I am up 3
    Week 12 September 30 184 :drinker:

    Back down again:smile: Need to work hard to keep the scale going in that direction. When I started this 12 weeks ago I really thought i would be dropping into the 160's by now....just need to keep working. I finally caught the cold (or more acurately it caught me) that the kids have had and feel tired and worn out. May not get in a workout today. Let the body rest and get better. Hope everyone has a great day!

    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

    Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday - CW=189.6 / loss of -0.8 / Total loss = -2.4
    Week 8 September 9 - CW=189.0 / loss of -0.6 / Total loss of only 3 frikkin’ pounds! SHEESH!
    Week 9 September 16 – CW = 188.8 / loss of 0.2 (does that even count?) / total loss of -3.2
    Week 10 September 23 – CW = 188.0 / no change / total loss -4
    Week 11 September 30 - CW = 186.0 / loss of 2 lbs!!!! WOOTWOOT / total loss of -6 :drinker:

    ok, so I'm FINALLY getting some numbers on the scale that I like after a frustrating 6-week long plateau. They are small numbers, but they do count!

    I went to a friend's birthday party this weekend and behaved food-wise. I THOUGHT I looked pretty good when I left the house, but today I saw myself in some pictures that were taken and was reminded that I still have a looooong way to go yet (two words: bat wings :blushing: ). I printed them out to keep myself motivated so I won't rest on my laurels of the 20 pound loss (with still 30 more to go).

    Hope everyone else is plugging right along!

    Morning everyone. I didn't post last week, had lots going on. Found out I have low sugar and now have to test my glucose at least three times a day. I'm not on medication yet, but looks like I could be eventually if I can't get it under control. On a good note, all this exercise that I have done has taken away my osteoperosis so I don't need my monthly medication for that. Whoo Hoo! I am down 1/2 lb from two weeks ago, but I'll take it, as it is slow going.. Have a good week everyone!

    Start Date July 15 Starting weight 136
    Week 1 July 22 - 135

    Everyone is doing an amazing job. Congrats to the people that have lost. Good job to all that have maintained and don't give up to the people that have gained. We all have our own issues on a weekly basis that we have to deal with. Some weeks will be easier than others. Hang in there, it will get better. Have a wonderful week.
    I will actually weigh in this week on Friday, since Saturday is my birthday and I plan on not watching what I eat all weekend. I will be starting my second round of P90X on Monday, so I will give myself 2 whole days to just eat and veg out. Then Monday I am back in the game.
    Keep up the great work everyone. :bigsmile:

    Good Morning all the "Looking Good For Christmas" gang ... It's yet again another dull day here in Niagara. I'm just not going to let anything else get me down. Life gets stressfull sometimes and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm officially admitting that I've been making excuses lately to slack off on my healthy lifestyle mission and I'm going to break that cycle starting right this second. Life gets stressful sometimes and I have to accept that and deal with it. So far today (which only really just started) I've been on track so now I just have to stay there. Thank you all for being such a great support system ... you really are the best inspiration.

    Hi there Sexy Christmas Friends ... just want to drop a quick note ... my computer is being wonky ... maybe a virus or something ... my techie friend will be checking it out for me but not 'til next week so not sure when I can get back on. I'm heading out of town for a few days so I'm hoping to have this fixed up after I get back. Honestly ... what ever is going on is making this computer sooooo slow. Please don't count me out if I'm not on for a while ... I'll be back as soon as I can.

    Hello my friends ... I just got back from a weekend away. Hubby and I went to our daughter's surprise 25th birthday party. Way too much food, way too much wine, not nearly enough exercise ... way way too much fun :laugh: Well I'm back now ... back to my normal routine.

    OMG!!!
    I have been soooooooooo bad this weekend. Mexican food, cheeseburger/fries, and fried chicken!!!
    I feel horrible!!! I am starting over tomorrow but I totally expect a gain on weigh in day Wednesday!! No body's fault but mine!!! Uggggggggggggggg why do I do this to myself????
    In a couple of weeks my husband will be going back out on the road. He will be gone during the week and home on weekends and I fully intend to use that time away to get my self in check!!!! I won't have to cook for him and we won't be tempted to go out to eat so it should be easier!!!

    Fingers crossed, tomorrow is the big day for the interview. It's wierd, I don't even feel nervous for some reason, I just KNOW this is mine!!! God is walking in there with me and I will be fine!!!

    I really hope your interview goes well today.

    Just checking in. I did not lose any weight last week. That is okay. I did not gain, so that is a good thing. Have a wonderful week everyone. :bigsmile:

    Interview went okay I guess. They won't start calling for round 2 for a couple of weeks. The job starts off part time and she didn't know what the pay would be but there are no benefits and it's in an old house, I would be the only one there all the time so I'm not sure I would be sad if I didn't get it. I just wish I would get more calls. I have been sending out resumes left and right but nothing!!!

    I got on the scale today and I have gained like 5 lbs in the past week alone!!
    Why is it so easy to gain but so hard to lose??

    I am starting to get discouraged again but I am trying really hard not to let it get to me!!!
