Well, our weigh in day i did not lose a thing.. But literally the day after and the day after that i lost 4 pounds.. haha.. isn't that the way things go. I am hopefull though that I can make my goal. I only have 6 pounds until Feb 14th. I can do this!!
I hear you Angelia! I actually gained this week but I am blaming it all on TOM since I know that I didn't eat 14,000 calories over my mtnc cals...I don't even remember any days that I went over my goal calories so it HAS to be water weight. Dumb hormones. Looking forward to a whoosh next week...
Well I know there is no way I am going to make my Valentine's goal of reaching Onederland but I'll be happy if I get close to it. Weighed in at 209.4 this morning. Officially 70lbs down now!
New Year's Resolution: Get my blood sugar level and cholesterol under control
From New Year's to Valentine's Day, my resolution is: Keep a food journal, not snack at work, and walk at least 20 minutes 5 days a week.
I feel good about the adjustment to planned snacking. I can't cut down to as light of a lunch as I've been having and then wait 6-7 hours until dinner. My blood sugar goes crazy and I get the shakes and can't function again until I've eaten and my body recognizes that I've eaten.
Week one (ends Jan 5th): <didn't start until the 7th>
Week two (ends Jan 12th): Food journal kept, no snacking at work, and walked every day--17-40 minutes
Week three (ends Jan 19th): Food journal kept, adjusted to planned snacking at work, and walked every day--17-40 minutes
Week four (ends Jan 26th): Food journal kept, limited to planned snacking at work, and walked 6 days out of 7--16-45 minutes
Week five (ends Feb 2nd):
Week six (ends Feb 9th):
Week seven (ends Feb 14th):

It sounds like everyone is doing great..
Thinkthin that is so awesome to reach 70 pounds. Good for you. Don't give up just yet, there's 2 weeks left. You go girl!!
Beth great job!!
BG yep it can be frustrating, but worth the wait. I didn't go over on calories one day so I knew that something was going to happen as soon as it was over. It will for you too. Good luck.
This challenge has really helped me because I needed something short enough to get me started and it did just that. I am still OP and still feeling good. In fact my body is becoming used to what I am eating and I'm feeling better all together. I have been using an app on my phone call MYfitnesspal. If anyone is using it feel free to add me as a buddy!

Have a great Tuesday everyone!!
I love MyFitnessPal! Been using it for almost a year now. I'll friend ya!
I am going to the gym consistently (at least 3 times per week) plus I did some hiking last Saturday to see the elephant seals at Aņo Nuevo State Park (just south of San Francisco). Four hours of tramping up and down sand dunes--boy, did my knees and hips complain on Sunday! I also stuck to my low carb diet very well all week (less than 1400 cal. per day) except for one bowl of clam chowder after the hike.
So of course I gained a pound last week. Sheesh--maybe it was the salt in the chowder and water retention. Or I remember reading somewhere that muscle weighs more than fat, so would going to the gym make me weigh more? Looking for an excuse I guess but it is not encouraging to not lose any weight when one is being so good on the diet and exercise program.
Week one (ends Jan 5th): 261 (lost 1)
Week two (ends Jan 12th): 258 (lost 3)
Week three (ends Jan 19th): 255 (lost 3)

Guys I might just make my goal. I'm so excited to finally be in the 280's. This past week has been hard since I've been alone in the house since Wednesday and I've been off from work as well. So I'm so excited!! I hope TOM does not throw me off again like last month.
Thnkthin, I can't remember what your goal was but keep at it you are an inspiration to me you've are doing so great. We can do this!! We can do this!!
Chickiboom, great job on the weight loss. How's your running coming along? We can do this guys!!
Congratulations to everyone who has reached their goal and to those who are oh-so-close, keep at it! It is great to read about everyone's journey and successes.
I am holding steady at 254. Did not get on plan to exercise this week. I am tired, so I don't exercise and then because I don't exercise, I don't have enough energy to exercise. It's a neverending cycle that I have to break this week! But I am happy that so far in the New Year, I have been succesful at keeping up with healthy food choices. We have not ordered out a single time and I have not given in to temptation to eat crappy foods, victories in and of themselves for me.
