Well, it's TOM... and I have not made a drastic change... (trying Intuitive Eating again)... so I guess I will accept a 1 lb loss. Preferable to a 1 lb gain.

I do hope this isn't a sign of how my body will perform over the whole challenge. I plan to kick up the exercise and maybe I'll see a better result next week.

Weee! In the first week, I lost 5.3 pounds! I'm just getting started so this is a great incentive! I'm so happy! 15.7 pounds to go.

Oh dear, week one has not gone well. I'm stuck in the habit of being fairly good in the week then blowing it all at the weekend.

So this week I put on 3lb at the weekend, and I've only lost 2lb of it so far. This is the pattern I've been used to for years and years, and what's keeping me overweight. I'm going to try really hard this week to have just 1 day off, and try and be a little better on that day.

I find the one thing that sends my calories sky-rocketing is drinks, I've got a real soft spot for the Mars milkshakes.

On the plus side, I've got in 2 pretty good work-outs this week, and even managed 5K this morning on the Treadmill. Boy was that tough, but fingers crossed it'll help.

Good luck to everyone for the weigh-in

Better late than never! I'm in! Pretty active in the forums already but wanted to jump into one more thing! So far in the last week I have worked out for 240 minutes! Skinny waist here I come!

A bit of a late-comer, I guess, but I'm in too! I'd like to be down to 140 even at the end of this challenge, but I'll be happy to take any loss. As far as resolutions go, I hate 'em, but if I had to make one it'd probably be to run a real 5k this spring. I like fitness goals way better than weight ones.

A 2lb gain in the first week. I'm so angry with myself I have no words.

Well done to everyone else.

I will be honest.. I have had a bad week... almost no working out (nothing new there) and eating... ok i guess? and I am down 3lb!!!!! I don't know how it happened, but I'll take it!

Hey everyone still at my mums attempting to do this on my phone... i am 216lbs today whiich is a great loss cause during the week i jumped 3lbs in 1dayy to 220and lost it again phew ....prob is googledoc wont let me click on the link so would someone be so kind as to change my post to 216lbs from Onleave thanks in advance good luck to everyone and great job!

themilesawaygirl, i totally know what you mean! i usually do really well throughout the week and then blow it on the weekend :-(

i kept teeter tottering from 132 - 132.5 this week. hopefully it'll start to continually go down next week?

Yay! TOM is ending so in the last 24 hrs I lost 2 lbs. I have worked out for 50 minutes every day and kept close track of calories. I was getting frustrated about my weight staying the same not even moving a tenth of a pound but apparently my body has just been holding into water. A loss is a loss!

Hi All!! I wasn't sure if I should put last weeks weight in the sheet since I joined late, or should I just leave the first one blank?? I wish I had found this one sooner (I'm of course right on the deadline, lol!) If you think I should leave the first blank, let me know and I will delete it and count only this weigh in Looking forward to this!

A pound's not much, I know, but I'm a pretty slow loser, so I'm delighted with it. My goal over the 12 weeks is only 8 pounds, so a full pound this week puts me ahead of schedule already. Goal for next week: exercise more, continue eating well, and hopefully lose another pound!

I've basically weighed the same for 3 days. I was REALLY hoping to be 181 or lower by now. Oh well. I'm doing everything right so I guess I just have to wait.
