DS's birthday this week. Held on to 2 pounds of water weight & didn't lose as much as I had hoped to this week. Oh well, still on plan.

I weigh myself on Sunday mornings, and this is my first time posting an update. I have to say that I LOVE this site. I definitely need the accountability of writing down my progress (or lack thereof!) and putting it out there for others to see!

8/15/13: 179.9 lbs
8/23/13: 177.4 lbs
9/1/13: 175.2 lbs

Total inches lost: 3.75

I'd originally posted that I want to lose 50 lbs. After looking at what would be a healthy weight for my height, I need to revise that goal to 39.9 lbs. Once I reach 140 lbs, I'll decide if I need / want to lose the other 10. I'm 5'8" and everything I've found shows 140 as being a "healthy" weight.

I have to say your post made me think! I've been so mad at myself for re-gaining most of what I've lost, I never thought about the fact that while I've regained I still have kept almost 30lbs off of the original weight loss. I've been so focused on the negative for so long.

Thanks for making making me see the positive!

9/6/2013 178.6 No reason for this, muscles are sore but can't imagine I'm carrying 3 lbs of water weight.

9/9/2013 176.7 wanted to post so I'd remember how much water weight I gained from riding bikes last week.

[sando5]

I finally found the time to post my loss here from Friday. I lost another pound and feel good. Staying the course is what I repeat to myself. I like the way I'm feeling and the movement that returns as the pounds come off.

Congrats to everyone on all your hard work. Together we inspire!
