Another month of moderate loss. Trying not to get too discouraged by this, but hoping to get back on track soon. Current Weight: 274.0 Start August Weight: 278.2 Lost in July: 4.2 Total Lost: 141 lbs Goal Weight: 220 for now

Yeah, it's a site/app where you set a weight loss goal for a specific date and bet real money on it. If you hit your goal they pay out a certain amount (depending on your bet, your percentage to lose and the time period). If you don't hit your goal then you lose your money. It seemed like a decent deal since I had been…

Another mediocre month for me. I'm not sure if it's just the summer months or what but I was losing much easier in the winter. Current Weight: 278.2 Start July Weight: 282.6 Lost in July: 4.4 Total Lost: 136.8 Goal Weight: 220 for now I made the mistake of signing up for a HealthyWage bet a couple months back, and I think…

Well, unfortunately June was not a great month for me. I lost, then gained, then lost a little bit again. Current Weight: 282.6 Start June Weight: 286.2 Lost in May: 3.6 Total Lost: 132.4 Goal Weight: 220 for now We'll see what July brings, but since I am not a fan of the heat at all I doubt I'll be getting a ton of…

I've been having a tough week and ate too much crap last night so I'm doing a mid-month check in to keep me on track for the rest of the month. Current Weight (as of last Sunday): 282.5 Start June Weight: 286.2 Lost so far in June: 4.3

There were lots of good things shown, but overall maybe a little disappointing with few unexpected announcements. I think many games have been announced far too early and teased too long with the inevitable delays, so I just lose enthusiasm seeing them over and over. I agree that Sony's presentation was a bit weird and…

Current Weight: 286.2 Start May Weight: 291.8 Lost in May: 5.6 Total Lost: 128.8 May was better than April for me but still not entirely back on track. I would like to get back to lifting weights but every time I try my bad shoulders act up. It may be time to see a doctor about physical therapy or surgery as much as I hate…

If I thought that I could actually run 5K without keeling over I would maybe drive down and give that a try, haha.

I haven't really mentioned it here before, but I've been using Weight Watchers to help me lose weight. I've found that I actually really like it. I was not a fan of their old systems where it felt like they just had a proprietary "points" system to replace calories when tracking foods for no good reason, but the new system…

For some reason I have been struggling with eating again recently. I binged on a bag of easter chocolates last week, and then yesterday I was feeling crappy about spending my birthday alone and ate a whole thing of cookies. Ugh, it didn't even feel good! I have been good about controlling all of that emotional eating since…

Thanks for starting the new monthly thread again, Colton! And thanks to Dave for bringing up the group on the podcast, despite still not participating! :p Today was my first Sunday weigh-in for the month. The last month wasn't quite as good as I had hoped, and it brought my overall weekly average down to 1.9 lbs, below 2.0…

My weight on Sunday (my usual weigh-in day) was 300.8. So far that makes 114.2 lbs that I have lost since starting in January last year. Assuming I lose again when I weigh this Sunday that will be the first time I'm under 300 in...maybe 10 years? I don't really even remember.

I was thinking about just forgetting about these threads since there's so little participation. Meh. Last Week: 305.6 lbs This Week: 310.4 lbs (-4.8 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 53.8 lbs (grand total 109.4) Goal weight: 220

I liked the charts, but I suppose they aren't really worth doing without many people posting regularly.

Definitely don't mind! These threads are for everybody that wants to join! Yeah, I really try to keep that in mind. But clearly I still have a looong way to go so I was hoping it would be a bit longer before things slowed down too much.

Last Week: 311.6 lbs This Week: 310.2 lbs (-1.4 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 49.2 lbs (grand total 104.8) Goal weight: 220 I'm coming up on one year since getting serious about losing weight, and I guess my motivation is failing at this point. Things are still going in the right direction, but…

Another decent loss for me this week, getting the new year off to a decent start. Last Week: 313.4 lbs This Week: 311.6 lbs (-1.8 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 47.8 lbs (grand total 103.4) Goal weight: 220 It looks like we had a couple people post in last week's thread, hopefully we can get some…

I was able to get back on track this week and lose 3 pounds, which feels good. Even better is that this was enough to push me over the magic 100 lbs lost mark in just under a year! Last Week: 316.2 lbs This Week: 313.4 lbs (-3.0 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 46.0 lbs (grand total 101.6) Goal…

Well, it wasn't as bad as it could have been but I did gain a bit this week. I knew I had a couple bad days, one where I ate and drank too much on the first date I've been on in a while, and then Christmas Eve with the family. So it goes. Time to jump back on the wagon and stick to the plan this week! Last Week: 316.2 lbs…

Down another bit again this week. It's bringing my average per-week down, but I'll take it since it's the holiday season. Last Week: 317.4 lbs This Week: 316.2 lbs (-1.2 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 43.2 lbs (grand total 98.8) Goal weight: 220 Glad that you were able to stay on track, wagetty!…

Hey, maintaining at this time of year with all of the extra food, family and stress is a huge success in my mind! Keep it up! And I hope things start looking up for you soon.

Down a bit again this week. Last Week: 319 lbs This Week: 317.4 lbs (-1.6 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 42bs (grand total 97.6) Goal weight: 220

Another decent loss this week, though not as big as the previous one. I'm hoping to hit 100 lost before the end of the year, and with 4 weeks left I think that is entirely doable. Last Week: 320.8 lbs This Week: 319 lbs (-1.8 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 40.4bs (grand total 96) Goal weight: 220

I'm really happy to say that I was able to have a loss last week despite my sister's birthday and Thanksgiving. Woot! Last Week: 323.6 lbs This Week: 320.8 lbs (-2.8 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 38.6lbs (grand total 94.2) Goal weight: 200

A decent loss last week, which helps make up for my gain the week before. Let's hope I can continue that through the thanksgiving holiday! Last Week: 327.2 lbs This Week: 323.6 lbs (-3.6 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 35.8 lbs (grand total 91.4) Goal weight: 200

A small gain last week his week, probably due to having family in town staying with me for most of it. Last Week: 326.6 lbs This Week: 327.2 lbs (+0.6 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 32.2 lbs (grand total 87.8) Goal weight: 200

A bit more exercising again this week helped me continue the loss, so that made me happy. Last Week: 329.2 lbs This Week: 326.6 lbs (-2.6 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 32.8 lbs (grand total 88.4) Goal weight: 200

Woohoo! After staying at the same wait for a couple weeks I finally dropped again this week. Last Week: 333.8 lbs This Week: 329.2 lbs (-4.6 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 30 lbs Goal weight: 300 (for now) I did finally get in some exercise again, lifting weights 3 days, so that may have helped.…

Last Week: 333.8 lbs This Week: 333.8 lbs (-0.0 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 25.6 lbs Goal weight: 300 (for now) Somehow I maintained the exact same weight for the third week in a row. :/ I guess that's better than a gain, but I'm working out this week to try and get off this damn plateau. Oh,…

Last Week: 333.8 lbs This Week: 333.8 lbs (-0.0 lbs) Starting GFB weight: 359.4 Total lost with Team GFB: 25.6 lbs Goal weight: 300 (for now) No loss at all this week, but also no gain. I guess I'll let that be a check mark in the "win" column? Also, wtf happened to everybody? There are 198 people in this group and we're…
