    What a bummer! I have not lost a single pound in two weeks and I've been exceptionally good. I have done extra working out and have even been under calories. My only hope is that I can attribute this lack of progress to water retention (thanks to my monthly cycle).

    Nonetheless, I am very discouraged and I may have to adjust my goal.

    Program Start Weight: 224
    Current Weight: 219
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 155
    Memorial Day Goal Weight: 205

    Pounds Lost This Week: 0

    Fourth week, Fourth weigh in

    Starting weight: 183
    Weight by Memorial Day: 171
    Current Weight: 178
    Loss this week: .5
    Total loss: 5 pounds

    I'm not sure that I'll reach that goal by Memorial Day, but that's okay. I'm eating healthier than I ever have. As long as I continue to lose every week until I get within 15 pounds of my goal weight (150), I'll be happy. I should lose close to another 4 pounds which will get me close!

    Still doing the no scale challenge. I have no idea what my weight is. I worked very hard moving this week, but also ate a lot of high calorie food. Not sure how this is all going to turn out when I finally get to weigh. But considering the amount of time we have left till Memorial day, it doesn't look like I will hit my goal. But I shall try my very best :bigsmile:

    :happy:

    Yippee! The dam finally broke and the water is gone!!!! I was getting SO discouraged. Unfortunately, I go TOO discouraged and had a few really bad days. I ate lots of fattening foods and had WAY too many cocktails with an old friend. Not good for the dieter in me, but sometimes I think you need to indulge.

    Anyways, I am back on track and seeing a little dip in the number on the scale has given me the encouragement I needed to keep moving forward. Maybe I CAN reach that Memorial Day goal!

    Challange Start Weight: 219 lbs.
    Last Week's Weight: 219 lbs.
    This Week's Weight: 216 lbs.
    Challange Goal Weight: 205

    Ok. I didn't want to get on here because I got stuck. Same weight for like 3 weeks. UGH!:mad:
    So I quit weighing myself and I stepped on the scale last Saturday...... Tada! Down 3lbs! I was having scale madness! So I look on the boards and a lot of people are having the same issues! Shame on me for not being on here :embarassed: So here I am again. I think I may have to readjust my goal for memorial day but that is ok. As long as the clothes get bigger and I get smaller!

    Thanks all!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I'M STUCK AGAIN. Every few weeks this happens, i lose a couple of pounds one week and then nothing for at least a week. i don't gain but i don't lose either, it is very frustrating.

    Starting weight 157.5
    Current Weight 157.5
    Goal 143.

    i dont think i am going to make my goal.

    Well, here I go! 5th week, 5th weigh in

    Start weight: 183
    Memorial Day Goal: 171
    Current weight: 177
    Loss this week: 1 pound
    Total Loss: 6 pounds

    Still don't think I'll make the goal I set for myself. I was planning a loss that is too aggressive, but I didn't realize it. What a difference this site has made in the way I think! I will be close to my goal which makes me happy. What more could I want!

    Tuesday weigh in ....

    Starting weight (02/19/08): 145.5
    Last week's weight (04/29/08): 140.0
    This week's weight (05/06/08): 140.0
    Weight loss this week: ZERO!! :grumble:
    Overall weight loss for this challenge: 5.5
    Goal weight: 135.0
    5 pounds to go!!

    Next week is finals week ..... not sure how I'll do on the exercise part of it .... I do fairly well on watching what I eat but I just need to burn some off!!!! My last final is on Thursday the 15th - after that I'm going to work REALLY hard and make a BIG push for Memorial Day ..... I know it will be HARD to lose 5 pounds in that short of time period and I probably won't make it but I'm giving myself an excuse for my finals (I only have one chance to get through these four finals ...... still have time to lose this excess weight!!)

    Is that a fair way to look at it?? I'm not giving up ..... trust me .... I CAN'T do that!!!! :smile:
