    I was away for the weekend and stuck eating in restaurants the I ate worse than usual for the last two days and spent a lot of time on the exercise bicycle burning off the calories. :laugh: :laugh: Today I have a much saner eating plan along with a more normal amount of exercise. My step counter recorded 16,678 steps yesterday.

    The big news is that I'm down one more pound:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
    weight last week 125
    weight today 124
    Turkey day goal 120
    final goal 118

    I'm keeping up with water drinking and no soda. I'm pretty faithful doing crunches but not moving along increasing the reps. I continue with cereal and almond milk at 8:30 and bedtime at 10:00.
    good luck to all

    Sorry I took so long... I MAINTAINED, UGH! I need to really kick it up a notch... Even worse? I rolled my ankle last night while playing volleyball. I didn't re-sprain it, though, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. It's really tender, though, so I have to start wearing my dumb ankle brace again while taking classes or playing volleyball...

    Congrats to all those who have lost, and Tammie-15 pounds? I'm soooo jealous! Way to go!

    Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been missing, my work took over my life for the last two weeks :grumble: I've been so busy I couldn't come on. AND we ordered in lunch, and sometimes dinner, EVERY day! I was terrified to weigh in, but somehow I maintained :noway: So even though I'm late, here it is:
    08/29/09 - 169 (starting)
    09/03/09 – 165 (-4lbs!!!) woo-hoo!!
    09/10/09 – 163.6 (-1.4 lbs)
    09/17/09 -- 162.8 (-0.8 lbs)
    09/24/09 -- 161.5 (-1.3 lbs)
    10/01/09 -- ?? forgot??
    10/08/09 --161.4
    10/15/09
    10/22/09
    10/29/09
    11/05/09
    11/12/09
    11/19/09
    11/26/09 – Thanksgiving Goal=150

    I really need to kick it back into gear now. It is simply a miracle that I didn't gain like 50 lbs in the last two weeks. I like to the new "no late night snacks" rule. I'll say nothing after 7- which will be huge for me.

    Thank you all for you support and encouragement. I stay so much more motivated because of you all. Good luck, and keep up the hard work!

    Well, I've been sticking to the plan since I got back from vacation. I added my extra work out days and I think it has made a big difference - more so than I anticipated. I weighed myself this weekend - breaking my once a week rule - but I just had to see if I was on the right track. It seems I am - I've lost the 1.5 lbs I gained on vacation! Of course, some of that could have been water, but my trousers feel very loose!

    I am on a mission! I am so close to being out of the 160s - a number I never want to see again. I can't wait to be 15-something. I think I will have to wait another week to see it - but it is so close!

    I am really struggling this week. I have not had time to work out since Friday and I ate over my calories yesterday! I had every intentions of working out yesterday since I knew I was over my calories. I even put on my workout clothes and was really to go. The kids came into my room and start asking for this and that and before I know it, it's pass everyones bedtime!

    Hopefully I can workout today since I plan to leave work at 3pm...at this rate, I really need to go down to a part time schedule! Full time is just too much with 3 kids 6 and under, and my mom who lives with us and of course my husband and house! I never get any time to myself, let alone work out time! You should see me working out and running over kids or doing crunches with a baby on my stomach!:laugh:

    I guess I just needed to vent! Thanks! Hope the rest of you have a great week!

    Hi, I just found the "october" page thanks to Sudzie. Thanks Sudzie!
    I have been sick for the last few days, but it's working out pretty well weight-wise because my appetite has been pretty low. On the other hand, I feel like a slug. I'm inspired by all of you who are exercising like crazy in-between demanding schedules.

    Down 4 lbs! :happy: I don't think I've ever lost 4 lbs in one week. I fit in jeans a size smaller, even, this week. I added the extra days of exercise and lowered my calories on MFP to 2lbs a week loss. Plus in the C25k plan, I'm finally running 20 min at a time. I think I'll stick to this calorie level one more week, but after that I think I'll move it back to 1 lb a week loss. I don't think I could stick to this calorie level for weeks on end.

    We're getting closer to Thanksgiving - hope everyone has a good week. When I look at the last 7 weeks, I've maintained or gained as many weeks as I've lost. So, I don't know if I can lose the 8 lbs in 6 weeks to meet my goal. Still, I should come very close and finally say good by to the 160's.

    08/27/09 - 168.5 (starting)
    09/03/09 - 165.5 (-3 lbs)
    09/10/09 - 165.5 (-0-)
    09/17/09 - 165.0 (-.5 lbs)
    09/24/09 - 162.5 (-2.5 lbs)
    10/01/09 - 162.5 (-0-)
    10/08/09 - 164.0 (+1.5 lbs)

    checking in: down 1 lb this week.

    last week: 161.2
    today: 160.2 -- STILL with the 160s!! BUT this should mean I'll be out next week!!:tongue:

    I think it's time to reevaluate the TD goal. In the 7 weeks I've been counting my calories, I've averaged a 1 lb a week lost. I've lost only 7 lbs!! Going with this I don't think I'm going to lose 15 lbs in 6 weeks! :explode: I think about 6 lbs will be about right to put me at 154 lbs by TD. I'll make Dec 31 my new target date to lose the additional 9 lbs!

    Starting weight: 167.8
    TD goal: 154
    Ultimate goal by 12/31: 145
    Current: 160.2
