Good morning :flowerforyou:

Start Date July 15 - 172
Week 1 July 22 - 172
Week 2 July 29 - 170.5
Week 3 August 5 - 170
Week 4 August 12 - 164 (new scale)

Week 8 September 9 - 158.8
Week 8 September 16 - 158.2
Week 9 September 23 - 157
Week 15 October 28 - 158.4

I can't believe that I lost 5 weeks - not good! But, I am glad that I am only up 1.4 lbs. I guess that is a good thing. I am going to have to work really hard to be at my goal weight by Christmas. I would have to lose 23.4 lbs... I think I may need to adjust my goal date, but I would still like to try.

Maglett - you are doing awesome! Keep it up

Have a great day everyone, and good luck with your weigh in!

anthrochix · October 2009

Start Date July 15 Starting weight 192 (goal = 169) (23 pounds)
Week 1 July 22 CW = 189.8 / Loss - 2.2 / total loss = -2.2
Week 2 July 29 CW = 189.8 / Loss = BIG FAT ZERO (TOM) / total loss = -2.2

Week 3 August 5 - on vacation
Week 4 August 12 – on vacation
Week 5 August 19 - CW = 190.4 / Gain of 0.6 / Total loss = 1.6
Week 6 August 26 - CW=190.4 / no change, but no gain, either! / Total loss = -1.6

Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday - CW=189.6 / loss of -0.8 / Total loss = -2.4
Week 8 September 9 - CW=189.0 / loss of -0.6 / Total loss of only 3 frikkin’ pounds! SHEESH!
Week 9 September 16 – CW = 188.8 / loss of 0.2 (does that even count?) / total loss of -3.2
Week 10 September 23 – CW = 188.0 / no change / total loss -4
Week 11 September 30 - CW = 186.0 / loss of 2 lbs!!!! WOOTWOOT / total loss of -6

Week 12 October 7 - CW = 188.8 WHAT THE FRIG!!! / gain of 2.8!?!?!? / total loss of -3.2
Week 13 October 14 – CW = 185.2 YIPPEE! / loss of 3.6 / Total loss of -6.8
Week 14 October 21 – CW = 187.5 / gain of 2.3 (water weight this week) / total loss of -4.5
Week 15 October 28 – CW = 183.6

/ loss of 2.1 / total loss of -8.4

if I average it out, it comes to 1/2 pound per week - was hoping for higher numbers now that it is week 16. Oh well, I can deal better with long plateaus now. I'm getting excited because the 170's are coming up and that's where I was when I got married 10 1/2 years ago. That's a long time!

Maglett and Sjmay - I'm jealous of your consistant numbers! way to go!

Did you take before pics when you started? 14 pounds makes a big difference. Take your measurements as well, those are always a good way to see how you are doing.
You might want to look at what you are eating and switch things up a little. Also, with exercising. If you are doing the same thing every week, you will need to change it up. Your body is use to what you are currently doing so it is not working very hard for you. If you start confusing it wth other exercises it will have to compensate for that and work harder. Switch up your workouts every couple of weeks to keep it guessing.
You can do this and we are all here for you. Keep pushing play and you will get to your goal before you know it. :bigsmile:

Please do not be offended by my words, I am just trying to find a way to get you motivated to help yourself. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. I would love to help further. Keep pushin' through, you can do it. :bigsmile:

Anyway, after the run I stepped on the scale again and it said 156! Ahhh! I think it was just from dehydration, but how I wish I could make that number stick! Oh well, I'll keep my 158 for now and just keep visualizing that 156!

Have a great week everyone!!! Keep up the good work :drinker:
