    i know our weigh in isn't today, but i weigh myself more than once a week and today i saw something beautiful!!!! a 14- at the beginning of the scale!! i have finally (after an interminable plateau) broken into the 140s at 149.0!!! I could not be more happy!!! AND to top it all of its my TOM so i am hoping in a week ill see even more dramatic results!!!

    finally feeling like all my hard work shredding, gymming, and eating well is paying off :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    YAY, sudzie!!! :bigsmile: I'm still waiting to see a -16 at the beginning of mine. Getting closer!!! My work has been paying off in my measurements tho! I posted my progress on our 30 day shred thread.

    I also weigh in more than once a week, but I'm in a few groups here at mfp and my official weigh in is on Sunday with my "Sunday Successes" group, so whatever weight I post in that thread, I carry through for the week. Even though by Thursday, I sometimes show an additional loss, I stick to the Sunday weight. It's sometimes hard to try to keep track of the 3 weigh-in groups I'm in, but it keeps me motivated! :laugh: I'm also in 2 other groups where we don't weigh in. One is a 30 Day Shred group where we post our progress, the other is a cycling group where we post our mileage. :happy:

    All of these other groups are why I don't really participate in the challenges, but I do enjoy reading all the posts. I do make the water challenge and the no soda challenge, but those come easily to me because I started stepping up my water a few years ago and only drink an occasional Ginger Ale. Can't do the sweets, I'd end up bingeing :tongue: Well, I'm done rambling now :laugh:

    Good luck for Turkey Day, everyone!! :drinker:

    Goble! Goble!
    Yup, I weight almost everyday. For sure the last 3 days before the weight in so I know whether I have to push myself a little harder to meet my 2.5 lbs weekly goal. This week I did not dare to get on the scale. I ate too much sodium.. I hope I won't gain weight tomorrow. Well I know I won't have a carefree weekend this time :explode:

    Morning everyone!

    last week: 129.0lbs
    today: 129.0 lbs
    no loss, no gain
    td goal: 120

    no change for 2 weeks now, on the scale that is :bigsmile: loving the shape my body is taking with my dedicated strength training. now i just need some advice on how to strength train and STILL lose numbers on the scale! getting the hang of my new hrm and trying to figure out how to get this figured out so i can see numbers reflect as well...but i know i'm gaining muscle, so i'm happy this week! started week 4 of the crunch challenge today and it's amazing how easy its becoming!! i feel strong is so many ways compared to 4 weeks ago. I hope everyone has a great week!!

    :heart: jessica

    I weigh myself twice a day and am aware of how much my weigh fluctuates just based on how full my tanks are
    you can't drink 32 ounces of water in the last 30 minutes before bed and not expect to see the scale number jump up:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I don't record a weight until I've been there or below for a week so I don't get crazy about the small fluctuations.

    So here's the report for today:
    Last week 126 lbs
    Today 125 lbs :bigsmile:
    Goal 118 lbs

    I'm leaving today for a long weekend trip----bringing some of my food but there will be restaurants to deal with every day :explode:
    I'm keeping up with my crunches, water drinking, no soda, no sweets, and positive attitude. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: .

    Hi everyone, I'm back from holiday.

    I didn't weigh myself, but I'm sure I've gained a bit. I did keep up with my workouts while on holiday, but ate terribly and had alcohol. I'll be back on track the rest of this week until Thursday. Hoping the scales will be kind to me!!

    I went over my calories yesterday:sad: but ate healthy
    it was a combination of very little exercise (less than 9000 steps on my step counter) and lunch in a restaurant. The place we planned to go was closed and the next one (we were on foot) was "The Rock wood fired pizza & spirits". I found a Thai chicken salad but even with only a bit of the dressing on the side and one bite of the tortilla bits (on the side) I figured it was about 500 calories. :sad: I could have skipped my bedtime snack, but I didn't :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    At least I wasn't like the heavy woman at the next table who getting handfuls of candy out of the bowl on her table and I said no to the Twinkies and M&Ms that were offered to me. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: And I drank more water than usual.

    This was the night I wore my new dress and it looked great. All the hard work paid off. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I know it was the weekend, where is everyone? I went to Octoberfest the real deal in Munich. It was amazing! Only bad part is I ate terrible though! Well just to remind you all this Thursday when it is weigh in I will post a new thread. I will put the link on this page first.

    i see u live in bamberg..im in graf! i went last year. this year im not i cant fit into my dirndl :(

    i wouldnt have gone anyways. i have no willpower when it comes to that beer, or the half meter bratwurst.
    How crazy is that! I go to Graf about once a month. Maybe we will have to meet up some time. If I lose more weight I am so going to buy a drindle and wear it next year.

    Welcome all new faces! Also hello to all of you! I am sorry that I did not post a new thread yet. I am going topost one right now and I will put in the link to it. I had to take my daughter to a medical apt on Thursday and was so busy I forgot. I swear I have taken on to much and need to start focusing on me. I think if I do I can lose the weight I have gained back. Ah I am up to 16 lbs since June. Anyway sorry! Please forgive me for slacking.
