Just got back from the doctor, and my weight there was 209!!! I am THRILLED, since as you all know I have NOT been OP for quite a while. That means that at least i haven't gained!!!! Mauvais, I will take you up on that challenge!! I will say 5 pounds by Halloween. Wimpy, yes, but I need to set an easy goal to start out with since I have been having such a rough time.
Well, I was hoping the scale would show even more pounds lost, but I am happy to report that I am down two pounds since last week and met my initial goal of losing three pounds in two weeks!
198/194/130
My next goal is to lose four pounds by the end of the month, which will put me down to 190.
I enjoy (sadist that I am) having to be accountable to someone every week - someone that says "so what do you weigh this week????".
I'm down 2 pounds this week - putting me into a new decade of numbers, FINALLY!!!!!! And 1/2 pound from an official 30 pounds lost (never to be re-found!)
I weighed 187lbs today. That means that I lost a total of two big pounds for the challenge...just a tad shy of my goal of losing 15 pounds, thank you!
I'm going to shoot for an eight pound loss by October 31st. That will bring me to 179 and out of the eighties.
If we all go with October 31st that gives us about six and one half weeks until our next mini-goal. Then again, alternachicks are so independent we never all do the same thing.
I have been doing well with food for the past three days but haven't gone to the gym...I did call the owner and discussed which trainer I'd be working with when I come back...think I have a 10:00am appt. with a trainer tomorrow...have to go call and check it out.
Okay, sooz, you're halfway there! You're at the starting gate, on the blocks, poised and ready, all set, on your mark...get set...GO!
...to the gym of course!
Good for you. I'm going tonight. And again in the AM.
My challenge is to exercise, in one way or another, EVERY DAY. Gotta do it. I will do it!
Today's weight is 260. There you have it. Hoo boy. Ya SEE why I need to go to the gym every day?
The other night at work, the nurses were discussing a very demanding patient. She is so large, it takes 4 people to roll her over to put her on a bed pan. I prayed right there for the strength to defeat this weight thing.
Way to go ladies! I will check back in tomorrow with my ( keep your fingers crossed) loss. That is my TOPS night and when I weigh in for the week. Love to all, keep up the great work

Great timing!!! I've been having one of those "it's time to get serious again" talks with myself over the last few days, and today was my Day One.
Starting weight, today - 175lbs. Short-term goal for Hallowe'en/Samhaine/my fourth anniversary...all of which are on October 31st...I'm going to aim high and join Mauvais on 10lbs! That will put me at 165. Do you know how long it's been since I was 165??? If you do, tell me. I can't remember....I passed it somewhere along the way when I gained those 40 lbs or so in 1994.
Hi Chicks,
Just reporting in my weight, I am down 1/4 lb.
Wow! Oh well better than being up 1/4 I guess. Hope everyone is doing well. I will write more later.
