Its been a while since I posted, but I am down to 163. So I only have 4 more pounds to go!!! Yay! I hope all is well with everyone:-)

Well done everybody! We are all doing so well! Ahem, well I have just had a bad four days with my friend (think, 20 chicken nuggets and mcflurry bad). I am so scared of getting on the scales tomorrow but at least if I have gained weight it gives me motivation!

[Blcarter84]

So tomorrow is my weekly weigh in and I'm recovering from Norovirus so I was down A LOT, but finally getting my fluids back in and feeling MUCH better today. Back on track with eating, now that I can eat so who knows where I will be tomorrow KMFX! How is everyone else this week?

[LucyOlivia]

Not so good I think! I have had some bad days with socializing and eating lots as a result! I weigh in at 163 today so that's an increase! Oh well!

Really sorry to hear you had Norovirus! That's awful! Get well soon!

I would like to lose ten pounds by the new year!!! count me in!

[Blcarter84]

2 weeks left and 3lbs to go!! woohoo
Lulubelly- WELCOME!!! Although since there are only 2 weeks left I wouldn't recommend trying to lose 10lbs in that short time span. But glad your in the game with us YAY

[LucyOlivia]

Anyone got a weigh in they'd like to post? I am 164 pounds so that means I've lost 1 pound in this month overall Oh dear! One week to go!

[Brandibooxoxo]

So happy... Down 3lbs this week! Now im at 235.8! Plus I got a new digital scale for christmas.

[Hotaruchan]

Still scale-less, but I feel like I'm probably up a little after last weekend. Probably still a net loss for the month, but I certainly don't think I made my 10. Good luck, everyone!

[LucyOlivia]

Well I am UP four pounds this month! So I think if I end up only having gained two pounds from where I started then I will be happy! So much for ten pounds lost :/ Can the morning after pill make you temporarily gain weight? I have shot up in weight ever since I took it.

[Brandibooxoxo]

It's the last week

[Hotaruchan]

LucyOlivia: Anything that messes with hormones has the potential to cause temporary changes in your weight...I think that's the reason that a lot of people have weird fluctuations around their TOM. Hang in there.

...curiosity is starting to get to me. I'll have to make a trip to the onsen to use their scale at some point this weekend. Is it bad for me to really want to know how much I missed by?

[LucyOlivia]

Hotaruchan: thanks for the advice.

Also, I don't think you should beat yourself up if you haven't made this goal. It was a deliberately crazy goal with the aim that even if we didn't lose ten pounds, we would likely lose some weight (which is impressive in December).

You should all be proud of yourselves just for being part of this forum and taking that step towards losing weight. If this challenge didn't work out for you then at least you have learned something about what rate YOU have the potential to lose weight. We can only work with what we have. Keep going.
