Don't we usually have a few more Monday weighers? Anyway, congrats Amanda!! Looks like you have found your groove :bigsmile:
I might weigh-in tomorrow....I have a Christmas party tomorrow night that will be atrocious. It's all finger foods, and I added a few of them up and they already add up to 700 calories
That's probably more than I ate at Thanksgiving. And I have been super bad this last week so I am pretty sure I'm looking at a gain. Oh well, I had fun while doing it hehe 0 -

About time the scale started moving again! Even though I haven't really lost much in the past month and a half I've still been losing inches. Since I've been doing a strength training regimen that likely means that I'm losing some fat and gaining some muscle. I'm excited to continue with the strength training!
I'm flying home for Christmas this evening, so I'll be away from my scale, my food scale, and my own food! Thankfully I can go to the gym there (one awesome feature of Goodlife gyms, you can go to any location!) and will hopefully come back in January the same or lighter!0 -

I encourage you guys to do this too... Whatever it is that is your little indulgence to celebrate a weight loss victory...DO IT!! I'm not at my final goal, but it sure feels good to get started on the victory celebrations early
Let's celebrate our "mini goals"!!! It keeps us encouraged!! :drinker: 0 -
Hi everyone: I'm happy to read that everyone is doing well ... as you can see ... for me ... not so much. Yes, you read it right, I gained 2 1/2 lbs. this week. How you may ask? It was easy. ROAD TRIP!! My friend had a business trip in Ohio and invited me for company. I completely forgot about my mission and acted like a teenage boy with an incredible metabolism. I ate sooooo much ... the food over on the American side of the river is way awesome ... I experienced for the first time ... Cracker Barrel, Country Buffet, and a Philly Swiss Cheese Hogie ... oh my goodness ... my intestines are screaming. It was really yummy going in ... but now even my skin it too tight. I'm back home now and downing the water ... hopefully it won't take long to reverse the damage. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

LOL You'll probably be surprised. My money is on a lot of that poundage being water retention from really high sodium foods. I love Cracker Barrel but they're not exactly health conscious. And a Philly? Amazingly delicious... and chock full of sodium. So keep your water intake up and get right back on track and I wouldn't be surprised if you drop everything you gained and then some.0 -

Hi all,
you all have been doing so well since August...when i dropped out! I will be checking in on Wednesdays
I want to tell all of you to be really careful with the Christmas treats....I had a gaul bladder attack on Friday and was in he hospital last night with the possibility if emergency surgery, thank goodness it can wait until the first of the year......not good!..
Keep up the good work!0 -
It looks like there have been some great losses. Congratulations!
I am only down 0.6 lbs, but I will take it. This officially pushes me into the healthy BMI range. When I started I was obese, only for the first week, but obese non the less. Feels good to be healthy! I still hope to be down more firmly into the healthy range by the end of the year, but for this week I am happy.
Good luck to all the rest of our late weighers. Chin up to all of the people who battle the scale this week. We can all do this!!0 -

Imagine my great surprise when I stepped on the scale this morning and was down! Last night I went to a Christmas party and I had sausage balls, candy, s'mores cheesecake, cheese, spinach dip and chips, veggies, and oreo truffles. It is impossible to determine how the body will react to things I've decided. Whenever I think I have it figured out it throws me a curve ball...but I'll take it!!

A lot of great weigh ins this week! Good job everyone!! I hopped on the scale this afternoon and I'm exactly the same. I'd like to check again in the a.m. though, just to see.
Courtney! You're only 11.5 lbs away from your goal! Don't give up now! You're so close!!!! Maybe try to maintain through the winter and get down to losing again in the Spring.
I've pretty much told myself if I can maintain my weight through winter I'm happy. It's so cold, I hate having to change in the cold gym and I hate trying to force myself to move in the cold and all I want to do is eat. I'm never full. I changed my settings to lose 1/2 lb each week and it's still not enough cals sometimes.0 -
P.s. I'm LOVING your new pic!!0

Im up two pounds.....I'm disappointed, but not surprised... I haven't been able to get to the gym this whole month... and I have been crazy busy with three christmas plays, even more christmas parties and everything else that comes with it... AGGGHHHHH!!!! I am seriously ready for it all to be over with... So, needless to say, my gain this week is not a surprise... Hoping to get back on track this next week...0 -

I'm happy to see the scale go down but I'm getting tired of all of this.0 -
I think we are all feeling a little impatient when it comes to weight loss lately... I mean, as JUNE STARTERS we have been at this for over 6 months... AND that is just as a group!! BUT, we need to refocus and stay with it.... This can be a "dangerous" time for us... IN that I mean, giving up... Find some reason to refocus on your goal... Make it fresh in some way! Get back that excitement!! Good luck girls!!! And have a fabulous Christmas holiday!!!

Thanks for your encouragement, busymom! I am just being impatient :ohwell: I would never abandon the June Starters!! 0
