Hi - hope you are all having a great week! Thunderstorms again tonight, so i am shutting down the computer. Calories burned - yesterday - 300, today - 100.

Here is this week's chart. I will update if I hear from Mindyrenee, who I believe was away this week.

156 calories burned today!

Hey Amber and Bubbles!! Cheers to you girls!!!:drinker: You both dropped about 2 pounds each this week! Awesome job!!

Weighed in today at 200.4 - sooo hating TOM! I have managed to stay under 200 for the past 3 weeks, then boom - TOM arrives and I am up 3 pounds. Blah! Congrats Shellly! You were hoping to get under 200 this week, and you did it!! Awesome! So everyone knows, I had a message from summer_of_69 saying I should take her off…

Way to go!!! You have been making steady progress - and you have had alot to deal with while doing it. Nice work! Keep it up!

Weighed in today at 200.7. So bummed because I have been under 200 for the past 3 weeks. I know my eating hasn't been great, but I wasn't that far over calories. Oh yeah, TOM is due any day now. Maybe it's that. Enjoy the weekend !!Halloween is getting closer and closer!!

Checking in with Saturday mileage- 1.11 miles. Soooo bummed - weighed myself this morning and I am at 200.7 - I've managed to stay under 200 for 3 weeks, and now this! I know I haven't eaten fabulously this week, but I wasn't that bad. Oh yeah, TOM is due any minute. I'll blame it on that! Hopefully when I weigh in on…

2.5 miles for me today! Happy weekend!

1/2 a mile for me today. My kids got out of school early due to flooding.

Thanks to Helen for the comparison charts! Shelly, I have a mile in today. Tons of rain in my part of PA - was not sure how to go home from work today, it took much longer than usual. We actually had buses bringing kids back to the school because they could not get to the stops due to flooding. Luckily all are home safe…

half a mile for me today.

Weighed in this morning at 198.6. I got in 2 miles of walking (2.07 but I am putting it in as 2). We took the kids to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia today - had an awesome time! I could not find my pedometer that I have been using, so I quick put a pedometer app on my ipod and used that - worked great!

Weighing in today at 198.6 - up a lb. from last week. That's what I get for not paying any attention to what I ate at the cookout! Oh well, I know it will come back off.

Amber - yay you for getting your reward! I am weighing in today at 198.6 - up slightly from this time last week - darn cookouts!! Had a blast though, and am not really stressed because I know it will come off again! My mini goal for September (great idea Pammy!) is to hit 40 lbs. lost. I am close - when I started in…

Memo to me - remember to wear my pedometer this week! Love this challenge idea Shelly!! Thank you!

Welcome to MFP & good luck! I've been on here since Jan., and have lost 37 lbs. It's a great motivator!

I love this NSV! Congrats on how far you have come on your journey!

Pammy!!! Fantastic! Now (and I seriously mean no offense here :smile: ) update your profile pic to a smiling face, showing how proud you are of all you have accomplished! You are truly doing this the right way - there is not a quick fix, and you are steadily losing at a wonderful rate. You look great! I especially love the…

Ok - I weighed in Friday at 198.6 - just didn't get to the new thread until now!

@ Craft338 -Your progress picture looks awesome! Great job!

How did the first week of first grade go? My little first grade guy seemed to have fun - doesn't tell me much. My 5th grader had a fantastic week, according to her, and loves her teacher!:smile:

Congrats to Mundy86! And Pam, I love your NSV!!!! I am weighing in today at 197.5!

Weighing in today at 197.5!!! @gapeach - don't get discouraged - every little bit adds up!!

A big shout out to Kristy for all her hard work in organizing this amazing challenge! Thanks a million!!:drinker:

Wondering how many calories I will burn filling out school forms tomorrow!!

With the bouncing - try not to get discouraged. I feel like I bounced around between 200 and 205 for most of July and August. Not sure why because I exercised more during that time period than ever before. You'll get there soon!! Challenge idea - post to the thread more often!! :smile:

The latest chart - Everyone is doing a great job overall! Way to go Group 2!! Thanks to all for weighing in today! Who has kids heading back to school this week? The school where I am a reading specialist started today, and my own kids start tomorrow. I now have a 5th grader and a 1st grader! Happy back to school everyone!

I used to be the same -and sometimes still am. I would spend the week making up for the weekend - and I was getting nowhere. One thing I did that helped was I joined 2 challenges with weigh-ins on Fridays and Mondays, sort of bookended my weekends with weighins, and it helped alot. Good luck!
