  • Yay. I get to be first. Reposting my stuff from this morning:

    SW: 163.4
    GW: 158.4

    Whew. I knew I'd get a Tuesday "whoosh", post-TOM. It's only back to where I was pre-TOM, but I'm not complaining. It's just crazy that my body can go from 168 to 163 in a day. And now my new goal is in the 150s - solidly in the 150s, not just 159.8. Wheeeeee!

    Yesterday I put in 45 mins on the elliptical - it was an emotional day and I just let it all out. Followed by just basic crunches, pushups, etc. All mat work. My tummy is sore, but it was worth it. Had a good cry while I was at it.

    Back to the regular grind now.

  • photochick - congrats on your whoosh...I hope you feel better today

  • Good job, Melissa! Count me in on this one, I have a new scale at home that weighs me more like the WW scale.

    My real goal is to be down below 200 by Friday - my birthday!
  • sw: 284.8
    cw: 284.8
    gw: 279.8

    Oh yeah. come on 270s.. never been there before! Not even before the relapse! hehe


    Super congrats to you , melissa.. maybe the stress of that test has finally been released along with some weight!! Whatever the reason.. YAHOOO!!
  • Wow, congrats Melissa!!

    New scale for me too. Will probably switch completely to my analog scale after TBL challenge is over (but figured I should use the same scale for the whole challenge). The analog only weighs like a pound different from the digital scale anyway. So I only have to deal with fluctuations to within 1 lb instead of 0.2. If I am going to weigh myself everyday (and I have to to stay on track), I need to not be so obsessive about fractions of pounds, especially now that my weight loss has slowed so much after the first couple months...

    ANYWAY:

    SW: 152

    Any day now, 140's...
  • Another 5lbs down for you Melissa!!!! Congrats!

    I will repost my stats from the other thread...

    161.6
    161.6
    156.6

    I am almost out of the 60s I can smell the 50s I'm so close!!! I just bought a mountain bike and have been riding 10 miles each day for the last 2 days and that has really felt awesome! We have a really great trail here in GA and its so wonderful to get out there and just go! I think my body has really responded to a different form of cardio! Not to mention the workout my legs are getting!!

    I have met my mini goal for the month...I wanted to be 162 by the end of the month and I made it! My next mini goal is to be 155ish by the time i go on vacation to see my bff at the end of aug....that should be totally doable!

    Good Luck ladies!!!

    Oh I'm jealous! I had a GREAT bike (went to Alaska with me and back to 3 other states), but it got stolen a ew years ago and I've never replaced it. Always other stuff to put money into. I was looking at bikes the other day and I so want one. I would love to be able to go riding on the weekends!
