Wanted to update my progress so far! I've lost a 5-gallon bottle of water or an average human leg plus a rack of baby back ribs Looking forward to my next milestone : a small bale of hay (50 lbs)!

ugh. I've been so busy I haven't kept up with this challenge and posting on the boards! Maybe I need a shorter term goal next time :) Anyhow. I started this challenge at 204.4 lb and last weighed in at 191.6. So a total of 12.8 lbs. Overall I've lost 30 lbs in 20 weeks! Wishing everyone continued success!

It doesn't look like I'm going to be reaching my goal by Halloween. I've done so much losing and gaining, losing and gaining due to hormones (PMS) etc that I'm averaging only about 3 lbs per month loss. :(

I only lost 2.6 lbs this month. But I'm predicting more success for October!

Yeah. I'm having some trouble seeing it on myself. My boyfriend is amazed that I can't see the progress I've made. I keep thinking... I guess I need to lose 30 or 40 lbs to see anything!?

SW: 221.6 (June 1) Sept SW: 200.6 CW: 198.6 GW: 195.6 (for September) Weigh in Dates: 9/1 200.6 9/8 202.2 9/15 200 9/22 198.6 9/28 End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) Total weight lost: 2 lb (its been a plateau month until last weekend, hoping to make up for lost time!)

I'm 5'2 and 3/4" :) I started in June and I've lost 23 lbs so far. Sorrry I haven't done 30 day shread- but maybe that's something I will consider if my body decides to plateau again (like it did much of September). I recently added biggest loser videos to my work out routine and its helped a lot, so its a step in the…

I'm excited! I finally got to take my 198 lb pics AND I got out of the 200's this week! I need to figure out a better way of showing these side by side :) I've lost 23 pounds so far on this journey that I started June 1st! My current goal is to get down to 184 by Halloween

I just want to see the scale say anything under 200 lbs!! I'll be a happy girl when that happens. I've been stuck wavering between 200-203 for the past few weeks. I decided to step up my exercise and signed up for the Biggest Loser program for a few months. these work outs are kicking my butt! I weighed exactly 200.0 lb…

Looks like its in "View only". I can't edit :(

Here's the link to the new thread that contains the September spreadsheet :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1091225--september-spreadhseet

But my measurements are ok so I'm not freaking out....yet End of Month…

Its slow going for me so far. Its been puzzling to me why I'm barely losing any weight, if at all. But I think I finally started to realize I haven't been eating enough, for how many calories I've been burning. So I decided to make sure I eat all my calories and when I exercise, I need to eat them back. Its hard because I…

I plan on participating. Waiting on my final weigh in for August before I have any numbers to post. I just ordered a new scale on Amazon so I will probably wait for that to come in too because my numbers might change!

I checked out this thread because I have a (now former) co-worker that is selling advocare. Says its the greatest stuff in the world and gives her energy and motivation to go to zumba and running all the time. Advocare kinda seems like a pyramid "scheme" based on what I've seen, so I'm not at all interested in joining her…

Thanks for the "tip". Diet coke has caffeine and aspartame and other additives which not only keeps me up at night, but it has a number of other harmful side effects. I admit I'm having to wean myself from sodas and diet sodas. But this is very bad advice IMO. From this article:…

While you're at it, can you add mine too? I can't access google docs from work. :laugh: I'm at 201.6. Thanks!

good point! I wish I could run too. Its hard for me with shin splints and carrying around the extra weight. I'm hoping once I lose more, I'll be able to run/jog comfortably.

agreed :heart:

My goal is to be more healthy and get fit. I admit I tend to focus too much on the scale. I've recently began measuring myself and think that would be a more reliable way to gauge my progress. I want to not continue to live an unhealthy lifestyle so I can have more healthy happy years!

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I admit I could pay more attention to the amount of carbs/protein/fats that I take in each day. I have been mostly focused on keeping calories under my limit. My goal isn't just major weight loss - but overall health and well being as well. The last thing I want to do is lose energy…

Ok. I'll give 1500-1600 cals some more time before I start to worry. I was just concerned that the days that I burn a lot of calories, maybe I should be eating more. But it seems like I would be eating too much if I ate back those calories and would just maintain. Thats why i'm confused I guess.

Everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work! We can do this!
