    It's getting sooooo close. My Christmas goal was 210 but I am going to change it to 200 since it is going faster than I thought. I like to underestimate that way I am pleasantly surprised when I meet or beat my goals. I've been eating extremely well and tonight is Week 4, Day 3 of Couch to 5K. I listened to Week 5 to be prepared and let me tell you... I am quite nervous... Not so much about day 1 or 2 of week 5 but day 3 is a 20 minute solid jog... yikes! I am not sure I am ready for that...lol.

    Well, take care all and have a great week! :flowerforyou:

    Morning everyone. I didn't lose much this week again, but I'm not expecting big results at this point. I probably shouldn't even count it, but it's keeping me motivated. I could not find the Air Climber so I had to order it on line. Has anyone used this before? It looks like it could be fun. I am up to running 5 miles a day at 5 MPH on my treadmill, but still not losing much.

    Have a great week everyone!

    I suck this week. I just started my TOM this morning and you know I'm swelled up like a tick.:mad:

    Updating for the week.

    Start Date July 15 Starting weight 303
    Week 1 July 22 - 300.4 down 2.6 I'll take it!
    Week 2 July 29 – 300.4 No loss but after camping last weekend I’m surprised I didn’t gain. Hopefully next week will show a loss. ;)

    Week 3 August 5 - 299.6 -.8 lost really been struggling. Still trying though.
    Week 4 August 12 – 296 -3.6 woohoo!!!!!
    Week 5 August 19 – 293.8 -2.2 Yeah! I didn’t blow it on my camping trip last weekend.
    Week 6 August 26 – 292.3 -1.5 Woo hoo! Might make it to my goal next week! I sure hope so! Total of 10.7 lost since we started.

    Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday - hope to be @ 290 by today. 291.4 lost .9 this week and didn’t make my goal Oh well, there’s always next week.
    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
    Week 10 September 23 – 284.6 1.2 lost total of 18.4 so far. Doubting that I’ll make my 280 goal by next week though.
    Week 11 September 30 Eli’s birthday – 283 lost 1.6 total of 20 so far. I didn’t make it to my 280 goal by today but I’m close. Maybe next week.

    Week 12 October 7 – 280.4 2.6 pounds lost. I will take this as my 280 goal met. 22.6 pounds lost total.
    Week 13 October 14 – 280.0 .4 lost. Not all that impressive. Going to have to try harder. 23 pounds total

    Just a question for our Canadian Christmas pals: what is and how do you celebrate your thanksgiving day? To be honest, I thought is was strictly a U.S. thing.

    It is the same, just 6 weeks before Christmas and always on the 2nd Monday of October.

    Hi there everyone ... I'm still computer-less at home so I most likely won't be on again until Monday. It kind of feels like something is wrong with the world when I can't check in with all of you. Take care all.

    I haven't posted the past couple weeks. The weight is just not coming off, and I'm getting discouraged and frustrated.
    I am still committed, I gave up diet coke on Friday. I've made it 3 days so far, which is 3 days longer than I've ever made it before, so mini goal there!
    I have not done a very good job at logging my dinner, really once I get home I don't turn the computer back on, so I don't get my evening meal logged regularly.
    But I have been eatting very well, I think. And I've increased my workouts to include 10 minutes on my elliptical, burning an additional 100 calories. For a total cal burn of 300. I work out 5 days a week, and have been very good about meeting that goal every day.
    I just am frustrated that in the past 3 months I haven't been able to lose any more weight.

    I'm stuck at 188.
