I feel like I always get stuck at this same weight for quite some time every time I try to lose. I just want to bust out of the 190s already but its so hard to stay focused!!!
Blcarter84 : Me too!!!!! It's soooooo frustrating!!! I just want to be out of the 190's (and the 180's for that matter) but I really just feel like I'm slipping... I was soooo diligent with my workouts in July and half of August but now... I'm so angry and frustrated with myself!
Only lost .4 lbs this week, and it was all Tuesday night. I had been making great progress before that. I used that as motivation, and today I jogged 3.5 miles, which is the most I've ever managed at one time, so I'm proud of that.
Ugh...exactly the same number as last week...I guess I should be glad for no gain, but I've still got my frustrated face on. Kinda a bad start to my 'only weigh in on challenge days' experiment (even if I actually weighed a day late because I rolled out of bed and sprinted out the door yesterday >.< )
katbot: You're showing up in row 33 of the normal chart and 48 of the challenge chart for me...not sure if it got fixed or was just being buggy for you...
epicskyline: Great job! I would definitely get distracted by something shiny before I managed to jog a whole 3.5 miles...

Aaargrghh what is WRONG with me. Planned on being super-good this week, starting off on the right foot.
Went to bed knowing I wouldn't get up in time for the gym in the morning because I felt 'too tired' (lame excuse). Then I got to the office and had a piece of banana bread with my breakfast because a colleague had been baking. Then just had a donut this afternoon, because it was someone else in the office's Birthday. Ugh. So annoyed with myself right now.

Look, if you are trying to do something and it's not working, then maybe it's just nit the right approach for you... Instead of promising to be "good this week" maybe you should try allowing yourself one treat a day. Plan your treats and take it one meal at a time. So instead of say I'll be good all week or even all day, just work with the meal you have on hand... And if there is a treat that is available to you, you can say either "yes, it's worth it" and have that be your treat for the day (meaning you cannot have another until the following day) or you can decide that it's not worth it and instead hold out for the treat you REALLY want.
Try that for a while and see if it works!
Don't be frustrated with yourself. You can't keep expecting yourself to be able to manage to do something that isn't working with your lifestyle. Instead, aknowledge that it isn't working and adjust!
Guys I'm so sorry for not being around to do the charts! I got a job then I got a new apartment, now I'm looking for furniture and getting used to living on my own for the first time. I've also got a lot of things to sort out in terms of paperwork and the such. Yeah, it's a lot! So I've not really had time to update much or even reply to my emails. The challenge is still going, I'm just sorry I'm missing the weeklies.
Riestrella it sounds like you have a lot on your plate! Good Luck with everything that you're tackling and we hope to see you back soon! Hopefully you're not too stressed out through this moving process!
I'm waiting until Sunday to put my weight in this week - I got a little bit carried away last weekend so I'm hoping to have gotten back to where I was by then. Woopsies.
As awesome as it's been, I'm unfortunately going to have to bow out of this. I was attacked last night while riding my bike, and as a result I really don't have the slightest desire to continue to lose weight...I won't be back on this site for a while at least, as I can't help but think that this wouldn't have happened if I was still fat and invisible. I don't feel safe enough to go out and exercise. I'm wearing a hoodie and sweatpants in a room that's 35 Celcius.
Good luck to you all, and thank you for all of the support and advice you've provided.
