  • I craaave salt and chocolate during TOM, so it's like reese's cups are my own brand of crack, to paraphrase a famous Vampire.

    I just had reduced sodium vegetable barley soup (140 cals) and I am going to bed. Tomorrow will be a better day.
  • Ok, so as of last Saturday I'm down to 175.0. Only 4 more to go...

    Haha. Yes. I checked monthlyinfo.com and it informed me TOM is next week. MOVING DAY actually. Yay. fml is the phrase of the day.
  • So I'm super excited. Last Saturday I weighed in at 213.8....and today (since I won't have scale access tomorrow) I weighed in at 211.0. 2.8 lbs in 6 days! woohoo!

    I'm especially feeling good about it because last week I didn't lose anything because I DEFINITELY have a weakness for raw cookie dough, and my mom bought two of those 3lb tubs of it....so I pigged out all week...lol.

    I still MIGHT be able to make it to my goal of 10 lbs lost before Halloween. If not, at least I'll get close =D
  • I am SICK of bouncing around like this. One day I'll be 136, the next I'll be 140. I have never fluctuated this much, and I'm still weighing at the same time. I want to be done with 140!
  • I haven't weighed myself in a few days because I'm afraid to. I'm going to bite the bullet and do it tomorrow morning. I worked out this morning, and I'm hanging with Jess tonight, she won't let me pig out b/c she's doing the weight loss thing as well, so as long as I drink my water, I *should* be down from 192.6. But then again, I'm with you forest, I keep jumping up and down. I just want to not be 190-something. That would be nice.
  • Okay, still on track foodwise - I have wicked chocolate cravings though, but I'm going to a wedding this weekend so I will treat myself to cake then. I'm out running again and doing the 30 day shred...so hopefully this monday's numbers will be better than last Monday's numbers.
  • Sylvied - How do you like the 30 day shred? I bought it but I have difficulty getting up in the morning to do it. Hmmmm get harassed by Jillian or spend an extra 20-30 mins in my nice cozy bed. Do you find this difficult too? Maybe I should just do it when I get home from work...but then the dog is hyper and wants to play - I just feel like I don't have the TIME to do anything anymore.
  • Frustrated
    On track food and exercise wise for the entire Halloween challenge, and have not lost a bit of the 8lbs I wanted to shed. Talk about frustrating. I hate it when that happens, and totally can't explain it. I look and feel slightly better though, so I am trying to focus on that.
  • forestroad - Maybe you could try just weighing once a week? I know for me, if I weigh several days consecutively and watch my weight fluctuate, it gets me down and stresses me out...which, in turn, slows down my progress. Just a thought. It worked wonders for me when I switched to just one weigh-in per week.
  • Right on track to my Halloween goal! Here're the results:

    10/3 - SW 215
    10/10 (GW 213) - 213
    10/17 (GW 211) -
    10/24 (GW 209) -
    10/31 (GW 207) -
  • I was sure I signed up to this thread last week when I joined but perhaps not.

    I have managed to stay on track with 2lbs off this week and 2lbs off the week before. Hoping if i get 6lbs off in the next 3 weeks that will be me back to 10 1/2 stone which was my upper weight before I had my daughter (a whole 3 years ago!) and then I will work at getting the rest off
  • Okay, 192.4. Going down, but TOM comes this week. Yay.

    I bought a Wii and Wii fit today - didn't get the Wii Fit plus b/c I decided to be stingy with that extra $10 as I was buying the system, the platform and then an extra controller. Hopefully I can have this all set up next weekend when I move.
  • down 200g! its a miracle >.<
  • Congrats on everyone's losses so far! I can't believe it's only 3 weeks til Halloween now...
    Well official weigh in was today and my scales said 134.4!! I'll take it and run thank you very much! So I pretty much made my 2lb loss, yay! So if I lose 1lb a week between now and Halloween I'll make my goal!
    How is everyone else doing?
