Your moderators for this thread are tgr68 and LyndzeyAHL!

Who we are:

We are a group of women who for 1 reason or another want to shed a few (or more) lbs. We need the encouragement of others no matter their size or goal and we thrive in an atmosphere where we can all support one another.

Want to join the fun?!?

We welcome one and all. It doesn’t matter what diet you are on (if any) or how many miles a week you run (if any) we will all find lots of help and support here.

Feel free to join at any time during the challenge.
It’s better to join NOW than to wait until we start a new challenge!:D

Sadly, I'm gonna have to update my starting weight back to what it was in the very beginning:
Current Weight: 162
Oh well, not too big of a deal. I'm going to start going to the gym w/a friend 3 days a week, so I'm hoping that'll help motivate me to eat healthier too.

I've gotta get back on track!!! I have slipped back since I broke my big toe, so I must get restarted.

Please change my starting weight to.... 151#
I really didn't gain 8# since the last challenge, but I now weigh in on Monday nights at my TOPS group. It is with clothes and after supper. So, I will just start at that. (I used to weigh-in in the morning sans clothes and food in the belly)

My changes are in RED...

No official weigh-in yet, but this week has been pretty slow-going for me. I'm afraid I'm plateauing. Hopefully I'll see some progress over the next day and a half.

Reenie

11-09-2006, 06:25 PM

No official weigh-in for me until Sunday, but I was OUT OF CONTROL today and I am hoping that I didn't just totally screw myself.

Sorry you're frustrated, MLA. I hit a plateau in the spring and it was not fun. I got so discouraged that I allowed myself to quit, which was stupid. I know you can break through the plateau; just have patience with your body.

This has not been a good week for me at all.

Monday was normal.
Tuesday & Wednesday, I spent a good chunk of the day puking, so I ate just whatever would stay down, which ended up being ice cream and cream soda. :rolleyes:
Thursday (today) I was just so happy to be able to eat again that I didn't pay much attention as to what was going into my mouth.

All this to say that I'm logging a big fat SKIP for week 2!!!

Hopefully next week, I'll be able to get my butt back in gear! *crossing fingers*

Thanks, Reenie. The frustrating thing is that I'm less than 4 pounds away from my overall goal -- I'm sooo close, yet these last few pounds seem to be the hardest to shed. I doubt I'll make the Thanksgiving goal at this rate, but I'm not going to give up. :)

I'm kind of surprised by that because I was out of control one day this week and ate a ton of cheese, crackers, and fruit. But otherwise, I was on-plan all week, did my cardio, drank my water, etc. Again, I didn't do my ab exercise. :o I really, really have to get on that. I created a fitness program for girls at the school where I teach, and that starts this week, so my focus area will be abs, I think, so that I have to do that. :p

I'm also super-excited to see 140s on the scale (even if it is 149.2); I haven't seen that number on the scale in about three years. Once I hit 145, I'll no longer be in the "overweight" category according to the BMI. Being so close to that is giving me the push to meet that short-term goal. After that, I'll try for 135, and then maybe 125 depending how I look.

jenji Maybe you are actually losing fat but gaining muscle. How are your clothes fitting? I know that has happened to me in the past (I knew because my body fat percentage went down but my weight either went up or stayed the same). Stick with it; your body will adjust.

Congrats to this week's losers! ;)

Hello, all! I just started a new job and moved into our first house, so it's time for me to get my weight back under control. I'm hoping this new book, You on a Diet, along with meeting with a personal trainer, will show me what i'm doing wrong. I just can't seem to get my weight down to a reasonable BMI. All of my clothes are too tight, and I can't take it anymore. My husband is in the same boat, so we're doing it together (he has already lost six pounds!)

I met my goal and exceeded, and with just having had Thanksgiving, I'm glad. Now it's time for me to get it back together and continue on until Christmas!

Not too bad considering all the junk I have been eating. All I seem to do this time of year is EAT!! Need to keep up my running now or I will gain everything back.

Why am I stuck here?? Haven't posted b/c I've been bummed that I'm working out tons more, but not losing any weight. But I have noticed that my clothes fit better, so that's something. :)

I totally blame thanksgiving, and the chaos of having just moved. I know I can do much better....hopefully in the next challenge I'll prove it. ;)

Congrats to everyone who lost weight through the holiday!

Hey gals!!

I'll get updates done and the new thread ASAP. My computer is out of commision at the moment, so I'm having to borrow DH's.

Lyndzey ~ I know you've been pretty slammed lately as well, but any help over the next couple of days would be hugely appreciated! ;)

Hmmm, not quite the way that I wanted to end November. Well, I was away so much I didn't get to the gym, so I'm thinking that's the main culprit.

Hi ladies!

Over the past few months I've gained some weight and I need to do something about it.....other than moan and complain. I've always battled with weight, but over the past 5 or 6 years I've remained pretty steadily between 118-125 (except when I was pregnant when I jumped to 174 pounds from 133 pounds!). Even after the baby, the weight seemed to fall right off. But, now, I've started nursing school and I am taking the pre-reqa which means less time moving and more time sitting still to study. I also tend to eat when I am stressed and there's a lot of stress involved with my classes. And, with the holidays here I don't want to gain anymore - my clothes are already tight enough!

It will be good to spend the next few months with all of you! :)
