OK, I am one of those daily weighers that get cautioned on here all the time. I won't officially count the weight I saw this morning until Monday but I have to say I am awfully happy down three pounds. Today was day 4 in a row at the gym.
I am glad to see so many people joining in with my challenge. It really helps me to have somewhere to go.
Woooh congrats on the -3 pounds gone, even if you don't count it until Monday, it still counts in my book...My challenge is doing Atkins, and I am on day 2 and doing great!! The energy I have is unbelieveable
OK, so the secret reason that I have to lose this ten pounds is to get the attention of someone at work. Today, I wore one of my "garage sale" jeans that fit pretty well except a little more tight then I am used to. He sheepishly said to me today that these were his favorite of my jeans (referring to my butt). The deal is he left for vacation today and I will be on vacation when he comes back. I want my butt to look even better. Is that horribly sad or what?
Woohoo!!! As of this morning I am a total of 5 lbs down for the week. It is so great now however the 1 or 2 I end up losing next week will be depressing. Only three pounds away from being in the 170's. A sight I havent seen in a very long time, probably 10 years.
I have never used used the dancing carrots but I deserve them now.
This is official weigh in day and I was terrified that my loss would go away before I got to actually count it but.....Woohoo!!! I lost 5.5 lbs this week. Now my tracker won't count that 1/2 a pound so it says 6but i am cool with that
This is definately motivating but with my schedule at work (all mid-shifts)going to the gym will be difficult to accomplish. So, I am going to turbo jam this morning and hope that I don't wake anyone up. I am shooting for two pounds this week because another big loss is unlikely and besides that will put me down under 180. I should fit into those jeans with no problem by the 20th!!!!
I'll join in--now at 159, aiming for 154 by August 20th. it will be a miracle if I do it....I am notoriously slow at losing weight...but this may keep me on track.
I am down 1 pound, which takes me back to 150 my goal weight, so I am excited...I am going to try to get to 148 by Aug 20th, so I have some play room, and can still stay at goal.
I'd like to join too.. my bday is august 19th, and I would like to weigh 221, which would be a 2-3 year low for me. So I'm setting a lofty 10 pound goal with 13 or so days to go. I know it's a lot.. but better to aim high!
Aimee, that is a big goal to set for such a short time, but I say go for it...Just don't be disapointed if you don't make the whole 10 pounds, if you don't make it by the 20th, you know you WILL make it shortly after, so go for it!!!!!
IlostIT4ever - I think it's better to aim high and fall short than to aim low and make it. Even if I only make it to 229, thats still more than I would have done if I hadn't pushed myself these extra days. Thanks for the support Plus I find it totally helps to really go strong for a couple of weeks, gets me really into things..
