Ok this can't be good no one started the thread this week. Fess up people where you at. Bad or good we need to be accountable.

I weigh in Friday and will be back to let you know.

Lost 4.5 lbs to put me at 264, 3lbs past my halfway point, was very excited, 69 down, 64 to go

Weigh in is always on tuesdays for me

That's awesome Nash!

I weighed yesterday and I was waiting for someone to start the thread - I'm lazy that way.

I lost a pound!

Still nothing for me. Curses! A pox upon my chemo-killed metabolism!!

Oh, did that sound negative? Ok, Sarah..... Positive energy, positive energy..... *cleansing breath* Aahhhhhh...... I am loving my metabolism. I am loving metabolism. I am loving my metabolism.

Now it just needs to love me back.

It WILL Sarah....

^^^^I'm loving your metabolism too ^^^^

Keep it up...you're doing an awesome job

Aww....THANK YOU, Linda! You're a real sweetheart. I did get some comfort from my oncologist last Thursday, when we met for the first time since the end of chemo. She said that it was amazing that I even lost 4 pounds, because everybody always GAINS afterwards! I told her I just had an independent spirit, because I did all my gaining DURING chemo -- and she said they did that too! I just have to keep plugging away, I guess. I put together an awesome -- albeit ambitious -- workout schedule for August.....so we shall see! If I need to dial it back, I will, but I think I should be able to pull it off, since I can stagger it during the day. When I go back to work 9/6, I'll start a different routine, but it will still involve working out 6 days a week.

Something's bound to happen eventually.

Thank you again, Linda. You have no idea how much the encouragement I get here keeps me going. I really, really appreciate it.

And I think I'm going to start calling Howie "Big Daddy" now after hearing his authoritarian tone at the start of this thread!

I posted in last weeks weigh-in thread because I weigh on Monday and it included Monday (Aug. 1)...... but now this thread includes Monday too!

Anyway, even though I posted before, as of August 1st, I'm down 1.5lbs to 210lbs. (Wow, I almost feel as though I've lost 1.5lbs twice now! lol)

Big Daddy eh. LOL Good to see some loses and don't worry Sarah your body will start droping those pounds soon. You won't let it happen any other way.

Congratulations Nash, Laura, Krysi! That's wonderful. Don't worry Sarah the pounds will start dropping off again before you know it, keep it up.

For me, I'm down 3 pounds this week. I've broken the 20 pound mark! There's no turning back now!

My weigh in is tomorrow, so I will report in then! Hopefully it will be down!

Maintaining this week, after going carb-crazy last week while I was sick. Somehow, half a loaf of wheat bread, or mashed potatoes and tomato soup help me sleep even when my coughing is driving Hunter to sleep on the couch. But at least I didn't gain. *laughs*

WTG on the losses everyone.

Sarah--Just remember that your scale is no longer going up. I'm sure that when your scale decides to go down it's probably going to jump like 7 pounds or so. You are doing so well and are so determined.

I also wrote in last weeks tread I'll just and copy what I wrote here.

Well after 6 days of working out and eating on plan.
I GAINED 1lbs!!!! I'm not sure what is going on.
I'm hoping that next Monday my weight loss will show.
To be honest I was expecting to lose at least water weight. Since I have been off plan for awhile....

synger - Great job on maintaining. I know sometimes when I sick I can go either way eat alot or next to nothing.

newfiedarling - Congrats on hitting the 20lbs mark!

krysidaisy - congrats on the loss.

Sarah - Just thinking about what you have planned for your workout makes me break a sweat! Your going to kick it! We all know that those fat cells of yours are hugging one another but their grip is only so strong then *Poof* (well more like huff and puff) they'll be on their way out! I know you can do it! Your one determined chickie!

alphabetsoup - congrats on the loss.

Nash - Nice Loss!! Your doing great!!

ChocLabLover - Fingers cossed

i had a gain this week (1.4 lb). enchilada night kicked my butt. i should have stopped after the first plate.

great losses everyone!
and better luck next time to the almosts!

I lost 4.6 pounds this week and got a scolding by my WW leader because she thinks I'm losing too fast - but my doctor is fine with it and so am I. People sometimes can't understand that I'm not losing it as fast as I gained it (100 lbs between January and the beginning of July!). And each week that goes by brings me closer to slowing down to a more normal weekly weight loss.

Sarah! I was going to say it, but you beat me to it. Naw, I'm going to say it anyway! You are doing wonderful and it is a true testiment to your determination that you are able to maintain right now, much less lose! Keep up the good work!

Mez, I know it can be a little discouraging to work so hard only to face a small gain, but you hang in there and keep OP and I'm positive that you will see a good loss next week!

And to everyone else - GREAT JOB! You are all so motivating!
