Looking Good For Christmas - Week 13

Morning everyone. I didn't lose anything this, but didn't expect to either, as the last pound took over five weeks to come off. Maybe I should change my goals to maintain, since that seems like all I doing. I going to buy an Air Climber this weekend and see if that helps. Everyone have a great week.

We're halfway there (well a little more than halfway)!!! Good Luck Everyone :drinker: I would be very happy with another 10lbs or so. Woohoo! Ooh... that will be right around my halfway mark. Cool!

Total: -24.0

Only 8.4 lbs to go to reach my goal. I am hopeful that I can surpass that since I really want to be 199 by new years. What a great way to start the new year that would be.

Take care and good luck all!

Well if this were a maintenence challenge, I'd be doing great! I just can't seem to budge the scale. :grumble: My body is hanging on to these last few pounds like it needs them, but I know I could lose about 10 more. Well, I'm going to keep weighing in with you ladies even though my journey is a little different. Congrats to everyone making such great stride toward a new you!:flowerforyou:

Hello All,

I hope everyone is doing well and being good to themselves by taking care of yourself. I know a number of people are going through stressful times so I wish you all a hopefully more relaxing weekend.

Tomorrow I do Week 4, Day 1 of the C25K running program and then afterwards I am donating blood. I am hoping my iron levels are high enough to donate but I won't be doing much afterwards because it tends to really deplete my energy. Next week I get my blood tested for some vitamin and mineral levels since I may be deficient in more than just iron.

Sunday I plan to just read most of the day. I bought a new book called 'What Happy People Know' by Dan Baker. Have any of you read it? If so, what did you think of it?

Monday is a holiday in Canada but I will probably mostly clean house that day. If the gym is open I will do Week 4, Day 2 of C25K.

Take care and be healthy.

I just can't seem to get this weight off. I've got the maintenance part down good though! I've kicked up my workouts this week to burn an additional 100 cals. So we'll see if that helps.

You might even want to zigzap your intake calories and your exercise. Changing things up keeps your body guessing and having to work harder. You are doing great burning more calories, Keep it up. :bigsmile:

jjtonic,

The things you say are so true, and you offer such great encouragement.

It doesn't matter if we fall, what matters is that we keep going no matter what. And I think that's also true in other areas of life.... JUST KEEP GOING


just wanted to tell you, thanks!
