Looking Good For Christmas - Week 15

Morning everyone. As you will see below I had an exceptional week and I don't know why but I'll take it. It might be all the fluid I retained while AF was here that went off but whatever it is I'm thrilled:noway:

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
Week 14 October 21 – 274 :noway: 6.0 LOST!!! I don’t know what happened but I’m absolutely THRILLED with it. Let’s just hope it sticks. :happy:

Congratulations!!! Your in the 70's now :flowerforyou:

LOL. I suppose you're right. It actually never dawned on me about being in the 70's. I was just shocked to lose 6 pounds this far into it.:blushing:

Hi all,

I've almost forgot to post here. I really do love christmas and want to look good for christmas. I think the important thing no matter if we fall is to keep going and to not lose sight of our goals.

Week 15 October 28

I'm not stressing over the slight gain this week as I know it is water weight for sure. I'm still loosing inches as my "skinny clothes" are now starting to get baggy. Still would be nice to see bigger #'s on the scale as is seems more concrete.

Anyhow, on a sadder note, my car has croaked *sniff sniff*. Guess I'll be biking more which is good in it's own way, and I'm able to take public transport to work. Would appreciate any prayers for the finances to fix her. If it is the transmission, it's $1500 and the car isn't worth that much Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated!

I've been sick for the past days and am really anxious to get back to the gym. I feel a whole lot better now but think it's best I stay at home still. A 20 minute workout video today should be just enough to get me ready for hitting the gym again.

I'll let you know how Zumba goes. I am really eager to get started.

Fantastic! Congratulations

I'll let you know how Zumba goes. I am really eager to get started.

I hear Zumba is an amazing workout. I would love to try it but we put in home gym equipment so I wouldn't need a membership so I know my husband would not be impressed if I joined just for that. I wonder if you can just take the class without a membership.

Anyways have fun!

Zumba looks so fun! Good luck with it!

I'm taking the class through the Rec Center. I was happy to see that the Rec Center offered it, so I wouldn't have to get a gym membership.
Check out local dance studios too. Around me there were a lot of options other than a gym.

Congrats to everyone who has lost over this last week. Whatever you are doing, keep up the awesome job.
To everyone else, hang in there. We all have our weeks. It will get better. Just stick to your guns on your food and exercise and make sure to journal it all. We will all get there together. :bigsmile:

Thanks for the tip. I thought it was only offered at Good Life.
