Jelbb you look fantastic. That should definitely win you a date with Mountie..er Salty Bob :P.
-And I will be humming the song all the way to work.

forestroad I don't think I'm making the challenge either. I've been all over the scale this month and now I'm into my standard pre TOM weight gain so I'm not going near the scale for the next week or so.

Still, I'm not giving up. I will get rid of these pounds...just maybe not all of them this month.

I'm right on track. One pound to lose before Friday... and then another 5lbs before Halloween!! :D I can't wait to look amazing in my costume!

I'm getting back on track (I hope). Despite my weekend binge on all things bad for me, the scale is dropping now. It may only be 0.2lbs since yesterday morning, but I will take it! I didn't have **any** water yesterday (TMI - and haven't used the bathroom yet) so I'm hoping tomorrow morning I jump on the scale... well maybe not jump on it since that would break it... regardless - get on the scale and be down a whole pound. I know I'm being optimistic but I have to be! I started counting WW points today. Yogurt mixed with Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal for breakfast (3 pts) and 32 oz of water. I'm doing well today! Lunch is homemade curried pumpkin soup (3 pts)...

Everyone is doing so well, it's inspired me to keep with it despite falling off the wagon last weekend...

Looks like I'm a little late for this, but I'd like to join too! My weight shot up over the past few days due to thanksgiving dinner and then being sick for two days. I've got it back down to 189 and my elliptical broke :( Boyfriend is fixing it tonight.

I'll make my goal to hit 185, 4 pounds in two weeks, I can do it :D

readyfreddy 10-15-2009 12:24 PM

i'M down to 141 still hoping for 137 by Halloween (4 lbs in 2 weeks!)

DivineFidelity 10-15-2009 01:35 PM

I'm so excited...I just weighed myself (i really need to stop weighing more then once a week...lol)...and it said 209.2! I'M UNDER 210!!! I feel AMAZING right now, I'm so excited. Less then 10 lbs and I'll be in onederland!

Oh, and only 6 more lbs and I'll meet my halloween goal...so MAYBE it will be possible...but we'll see. lol

angee phalangee 10-15-2009 08:10 PM

divine, that is SO great! we're just about at the same weight, so I totally know how you feel...almost there. congrats!

stellarosa27 10-15-2009 09:19 PM

Up to 191.2 this morning, so like a 0.4 gain, but TOM is late, so I'm not worried about it. I went spinning tonight, and tomorrow is a 90 minute spin class, accompanied by a whole lot of moving and packing boxes. So it'll come off.

Its FREEEZING here...

forestroad 10-15-2009 11:45 PM

Down to 137 at the gym tonight, but this could easily be part of my pattern of dropping down to ~136ish during the week and then bumping back up to 140 at the weekend.

stella- snow in the forecast here tonight...the mountains are all snowcapped!

freedomreins 10-16-2009 03:15 AM

You ladies are all doing so great! Well done Divine, you're so close to such a huge milestone!

I jumped on the scale this morning and it said 153.2 (152 is my Halloween goal) which is awesome as I haven't been below 154 since June! Weigh in day is Tuesday so I would be ecstatic if I maintained that loss over the weekend as I tend to overindulge a bit!

Have a great weekend everyone!

stellarosa27 10-16-2009 09:37 AM

191.0

I swear the scale said 190 the other day. Grr. We'll see, moving today, spinning tonight, moving tomorrow, as long as I drink enough water, this should be major calorie burning.

DivineFidelity 10-16-2009 11:34 AM

TOM just hit, and I've never really tracked how it affects me before now...but I was curious so I weighed in again today (thats 4 days in a row...for me thats a LOT)...and I'm down to 207.5!!! I lost 1.7 lbs in a day!

Of course, I don't know if I should be happy or not...because that's obviously NOT healthy weight loss....but I would assume it's just my TOM affecting it like that, right? I usually don't lose more then 2 lbs in a week..that i've noticed anyways.

But still, 207.5!!! That puts me 4.5 lbs away from my halloween goal....and even closer to onederland!!

forestroad 10-16-2009 01:49 PM

Divine-- Congrats! I went from 140 on Monday to 135 today. I've been jumping all over the place for the past 6 weeks (first hit 139 at the beginning of September and have been fluctuating as much as 4lbs in a day), so who knows, obv 5lb/wk is probably not healthy but I'm eating and exercising healthy so it's more likely healthy weightloss disguised by water weight, and I would say the same for you too.

So yeah, technically 135 today but that's just the joy of weighing in first thing in the morning after a workout, plus it wouldn't be the first time I jump back up 4lbs, so not declaring victory just yet.

ETA: I almost forgot to share my NSV! My mom mailed me a dress that I wore in EIGHTH GRADE to play Hermia in AMND, that I wanted to try on to see if I could use it as a Halloween costume. In 8th grade I was 5'3" and weighed probably 115-120, and was a solid size 6. Guess what? It fits!!! This is a crappy pic, but: http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._7242385_n.jpg
As a side note, I got the dress at a thrift store in 1998 and it's probably at least 20 years old, possibly more, so it's vintage sizing--a 9/10 that barely fit a 5'3" buck 20 8th grader.

Stella - Wow, a 90 minute spinning class? Ouch. My spinning classes are 50 minutes, and I'm fairly certain I'm going to die by the end.

Divine - I think you should definitely be proud of yourself. It happens to me all the time that I'll drop 2 pounds on the scale in a day or two...but I still average out to a 2-3 lb loss a week. It's perfectly healthy. You're doing a great job! Congrats! It looks like you're going to beat me to Onederland, though...so I better kick it up a notch. ;)

Forestroad - WOW....wow! That is huge...8th grade! You rock, girl.

angee phalangee 10-17-2009 07:39 AM

Progress report time. I lost 3 lbs this week - which puts me one pound ahead of schedule! It also puts me 10 lbs away from that big 50 lb loss mark and 11 lbs away from Onederland...getting close to a bunch of mini goals!
