Congrats, Lori! I'm so glad someone won, I wanted a fresh start. Will post my weigh in tomorrow.

Congrats Lori!!!

I'm going with my weigh-in from yesterday. I did weight training yesterday afternoon and my weight is artificially up this morning so don't feel that would be fair ;).

SW:217.8
GW: 212.8

Congrats Lori- 70 pounds!!! You and I have lost about the same amount. Isn't it cool???

I can't believe I am starting this new challenge with these low numbers, but it's true.
SW- 182.8
CW- 182.8
GW- 177.8 (never posted 170's as my goal before)

Lori - HOT DOG!!! :D CONGRATS ON THE WIN! YOU ROCK GIRL!! :cheer:

I wasn't going to post today...back up again...likely due to the high sodium lunch yesterday and TOM. I swear I could eat just about anything and everything the first couple days of my cycle.

SW: 232
GW: 227

I'll join!

SW: 159.5 (Down 4 pounds from when I started on Tuesday! yay!)
GW: 154.5

I thought about putting my Tuesday start weight on here, but I thought that since I've already lost 4 pounds, it could make it a rather short challenge! So I put my weight as of this morning. :)

I'm going to try this again.

SW~ 242.7
CW~ 242.7
GW~ 237.7

Congrats Lori- 70 pounds!!! You and I have lost about the same amount. Isn't it cool???

That is very cool mtiger and plus we are just an inch apart in height~we are pratically weight loss twins!!!!!:)



Thanks everyone!!!!!!:)

Great Job, Lori!!
I was hot on your heels, but I suspect my weight will be up tomorrow. I had a salty supper tonight...my 9 y/o DS cooked. He's quite the little chef, but not always 100% helpful weight-wise. :D Although, he's very aware of nutrition facts and usually keeps the fat and cals down. Anyway, I'll post my start weight tomorrow.

Congratulations, Lori!

I'll give this a try! Good luck, everyone!

SW: 185

Oh bugger - I have had a bad week. Felt off colour all week and had the munchies BIG time so thought I'd indulge for a few days - turned into a whole week. Plus went out for lunch with my hunny on Tuesday which turned into a full 3 course meal with garlic bread, pizza and massive lump of chocolate fudge cake with drizzly cream. Then last night we were out at my school reunion - cue more food.

So overall, I am up 4 lbs!!!!

Why is it so damn easy to put it on but so hard to take it off.

SW: 133.4
CW: 133.4
GW: 128.4

BTW: Well done Lori!!!!

OK, I had a bad week too, between the class reunion and TOM, I am starting this one even higher than I started last one, so must get back on the bus, RIGHT HERE, before I fall any further.

I'm up from the weekend darn it! Dh's family had a b-day party for him and the menu was RIBS, potato salad , corn on the cob and black forrest cake. I ate a little of everything and tried to keep that my only meal but I couldn't do it. I was to starving to sleep :lol:

SW 227.4
CW 228.2 up .8
GW 222.4

I knew that 159.5 was too good to be true! I was up this morning, but not too much. I have been doing really well with my eating, so I am optimistic that I will continue to see the scale go down!

Good luck everyone! :)

Don't quite understand this gain. I don't think it's mid-cycle, so I'm confused. Whatch gonna do???? Well I need to go workout. Maybe that will help.

Good start - let's hope it continues:

Not sure what's going on. Food has been ok, not great but not horrible, I've exercised like a mad woman and still up. I do know sodium was high, high, high Saturday-Monday so hoping a few low sodium days and lots of water will get things back on track.

Staying the same for now.

Delphi - You are smokin' this challenge!

I don't think this is going to be a very long challenge. Come on Delphi :cp:


SW 227.4
CW 228.4 up 1lb
GW 222.4

WOW DELPHI~WAY TO GO GIRL!


I never weighed today~So I will report in 2morrow with weight results.
I always weigh same time everyday and sometimes I pass up my chance~I was really badly ill last several days ~but I am feeling so much better so I am thrilled with that.
Hopefully 2morrow brings good results ~all though it is my time of month so I am not real hopeful on a magnificant change LOL!

GOODLUCK EVERYONE!!!!

Thanks ladies, but seriously it was just my body playing catch up. I went two weeks, without a loss after my sons hospital stay. I knew I should have been down at least four pounds, but it never showed. But I kept at it and just kept telling myself, the scale was a big liar. :lol: Apparently, it was all the stress, because it all come off in a matter of days this week.

SW- 182.8
CW- 183.4
GW- 177.8

Down a little but not back to lowest yet. Sometimes this can be really tough.

I am starting this challenge tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

I'm up for it to SW 180, GW 165. Any tips? I want to get rid of it all in the next 3 months. Is it possible?

weightlosszprt - 15 pounds *may* be doable for you. I'd just concentrate on making positive food choices and moving your rump. Even if you don't lose all 15lbs the changes your body will make with regular exercise and a healthy diet for 3 months will be noticeable.

Mtiger - Hang in there. You're doing the right things. It will come off. :)

Delphi - I'm still impressed. I have a hard time keeping up the effort when I'm not seeing results. Apparently, good things come to those who wait.

Sw: 133.4
Cw: 131.8 (-1.6)
Gw: 128.4

Sw 157

Finally! Moving in the right direction!

Isis ~ It was torture! But I sure am glad I stuck it out. :)

As for me, no movement this morning, holding steady, which is a good thing seeing as I am swollen from head to toe this morning.

Well, I'm going the wrong direction again!
