Way to go, Ophelia and Thnknthin1! You guys are doing great!
Rodeogirl and Kayin- I wish I was the outdoorsy type to go hiking, etc but I just am not, LOL. Good for you two!! :welcome:, Foreverfaye! Congrats on your -6lbs and counting! |
I thought I joined this challenge, but I guess that was only in my head :dizzy: So, better late than never I guess!

Weigh-in this week is 248.0, so 3 lbs down exactly. Much happier with my loss this week overall. I'd gotten a nice whoosh in the first day or two, but have been pretty much stalling out ever since, so I think my body is just playing catch-up. But, it's all about balance too, I guess! Lol. Also, on a side note, this pushed me over my halfway mark to my total goal for the challenge, so I'm pretty happy about that, as well. :yes:
thnkthin1: Haha, thanks! I need to write that on my mirror somewhere, I think...lol. Also, you are doing great, too! foreverfaye: Welcome, and congrats on the 6 lbs! :wave: amandie: Thank you! How's the lifting going? I want to start doing some myself, but I'm just so intimidated by the super busy weights section at the gym...especially since it's on a military post with a bunch of buff soldiers. Eep! I wish I had my own equipment, lol.

Heidi, Ophelia and Thnknthin1- you guys are doing awesome!!! Way to go, y'all!
I finally saw 165.4! So happy! I took a break from working out for about a week now. I did not continue with the lifting (to answer your question, Ophelia :)), it totally wiped me out. I had an old routine on paper along with the dumbbells but somehow they got lost in the move and I did not save it on the computer, grr!! So I compiled a new beginners' routine and it was way too much for me, lol. I was/am still in dart league and didn't want to be too sore to play (2 more games then I'm done!) At least that was/is my excuse for not keeping up with lifting, lol. However, I will be restarting the 30 Day Shred (after a year) for sure tonight with 3lbers to start with and keeping up with the 30-60 min on the elliptical trainer. Wish me luck with 30DS, ahh. |
I was feeling a little sick this morning, so my numbers for today might not be completely accurate, since it is 1.4 lbs less than yesterday, but I'll be logging it for the week anyhow. That being said, my weigh-in was 243.2...hoping that my body will be nice to me and let me keep this loss. Overall, it would make for a 4.8 loss for the week! However, even without the ickies from this morning, I would still be around 4 lbs down, so I'm still happy about my progress for the week either way.
thnkthin1: Nice loss! Also, is that a new avatar or am I just really unobservant? Haha. Either way, you're looking great! Definitely an inspiration, since we have similar starting weights. :yes: amandie: Totally understandable...there'd be no point in doing one thing, if it took away your ability to do all the other things you want to do! Also, congrats on seeing 165! That's awesome. Oh, and best of luck on the 30DS, too...I did level 1 and a couple days of level 2, but everyone I was doing it with quit, so I ended up stopping it for now, too -- I'll go back to it when I'm under 200 lbs, I think. I bet you will tear right through it, though! Have fun. :) -------------- SW: 265.2 GW: 235.0 March 3/20: 264.6 3/27: 261.0 April 4/3: 259.2 4/10: 255.8 4/17: 253.0 4/24: 251.0 May 5/1: 248.0 5/8: 243.2 5/15: 5/22: 5/29: June 6/5: 6/12: 6/21: |

I am a little late to the game but this sounds like a good one. I am just surfacing after losing my Dear Husband Mark last summer. I need something to hang onto as I face the one year aniversary.
Start May 9 195.8 k |
Welcome to the thread, activeadventurer. And, I just want to say how sorry I am for what you have been through; I can't even imagine. I hope you're able to weather this summer with strength and a peaceful heart. Mine goes out to you! :hug:
|
Thank you D

Another week and more movement towards goal.
I don't think I'll make the goal I set for myself, but I'm going to see how close i can get! |
Welcome, ActiveAdventurer! If you'd like to join another challenge to help you push through, here it is- 4th of July Challenge! Very active thread and people there are supportive! Everyone else is welcome to join, BTW! ;)
Everyone seems to be doing great! Yay! Keep up the good work! Still moving down on the scale slowly. I doubt I will make goal which is fine with me as long as I am closer than when I started! ;) |
I didn't do so great over the weekend- partied too heartily until 5am, lol. I'm up in weight right now and expect to either gain or maintain when weigh-in comes up on Thursday.
I'm back on track though since Sunday! Hope everyone else is doing great! |

I just realized that I did not post here last week...oops! So, I will catch up today. Then again, I have only lost 3 pounds since I last posted here two weeks ago, so my progress has been leaving much to be desired -- especially this last week. I've been yoyo-ing up and down, much to my frustration. Hoping for a better week this week...I need it! Ha.

A much better week this week, yay! I thought I was going to go crazy if I didn't see some progress this time around, lol. Weigh-in for the week is 236.2, which makes 4 lbs down exactly this week. :D
Anyways, so how's everyone doing? I know that, being a weekly only thread, it's a slower one to begin with...just making sure who all is still here! Any of the lurkers who just update their original post want to say hi? Haha. Hoping that the regulars post again over the next couple days too and that everyone's having a good week...only three more weigh-ins until our challenge is over!

OpheliaPhx- Yay, WTG!!! Your progress from the start of this thread to now is amazing- so close to goal too!!! Keep up the great work!
Thnknthin1- 1lb away from the challenge goal (although you are practically there now!) How freaking awesome!! So happy for you! I have not been doing great at all, totally off-plan since last Friday, or was it Thursday? Stopped working out too. I have been and am very stressed and anxious currently. About 6 weeks ago, I had an ultrasound that revealed a small cyst on my ovary and the doc initially said it usually passes but to be sure, she wanted more ultrasounds at approx. 6 weeks. Tomorrow morning, I get the post 6 week check up results. Hopefully :crossed: after all that, I will be back on track like usual :crossed: though today I did well, I stayed within my points! :) Have a great evening, all! |

Ugh, this was my worst week for weight loss since restarting this journey in general, much less since starting this challenge. I went out of town for the weekend, and while I made the best choices for what was available to me, I still gained then maintained for a few days, so my weigh-in for the week ended up being 235.4 -- which means I didn't even lose a whole pound all week, overall. I know any loss is better than a gain, though, so I'm just going to stay positive, move on and try to do better this week!
SW: 265.2 GW: 235.0 March 3/20: 264.6 3/27: 261.0 April 4/3: 259.2 4/10: 255.8 4/17: 253.0 4/24: 251.0 May 5/1: 248.0 5/8: 243.2 5/15: 241.8 5/22: 240.2 5/29: 236.2 June 6/5: 235.4 6/12: 6/21: |
Okay, I know I'm posting the day after my official weigh-in day, but I seemed to have flushed out a little bit of my gain today...putting me down to 234.8, which is worth mentioning because that means I hit my challenge goal! Woo! Definitely a silver lining to my slow week. :yes:
|
Way to go, Opheliaphoenix!!!! So happy for you!!! :carrot: I totally am not going to make goal. :( But at least I have mostly maintained and I usually flake out at this time. This will be the first summer where I will STAY on here and keep up!
Hope everyone else is doing great!! :) |
Another slow week. I'd lost a couple pounds, but gained most of it back somehow over the past couple days during an experiment to up my calories by 200 per day. Didn't work! Lesson learned, ha. Back up to where I was last Thursday at 234.8 today. Which makes for just 0.6 lbs down this week. Then again, I've also been low on water this week, so I'll focus on that for this next week, as well. Hope everyone's doing okay!
amandie: Thanks! And, good job to you, too! You might not make exactly as much progress as you hoped for in the beginning, but the fact that you're still here and maintaining is a sign of nothing but good things! You've already grown so much stronger than you used to be if you'd have flaked by now. So, in my book, that is a success all its own. Hopefully, you will join another challenge with us when this one is through! :yes: SW: 265.2 GW: 235.0 March 3/20: 264.6 3/27: 261.0 April 4/3: 259.2 4/10: 255.8 4/17: 253.0 4/24: 251.0 May 5/1: 248.0 5/8: 243.2 5/15: 241.8 5/22: 240.2 5/29: 236.2 June 6/5: 235.4 6/12: 234.8 6/21: |
Alright, well my weight finally broke a little with a visit from the whoosh fairy right here at the end of this challenge. Thank goodness...lol. I forgot to post here yesterday, so I will wrap it up with today's weigh-in of 229.4, which puts me at 5.4 lbs lost since the 12th and about 35.8 lbs down overall! Thank you so much for this challenge...it really helped keep my head in the game and in the proper perspective when I was struggling so often with my daily weigh-ins lately. Are there any plans for a new one? A Summer to Autumn one, perhaps?
