Watch out, Kittycat. I still think I can win this one! I am back down to 165, so only one pound to go. Still mad that I didn't get more of a drop from my 6-mile run on Monday, but it is what it is. I plan on running four miles today - AND get some sleep - so Edzard, looks like you might be joining us on our next challenge soon (hopefully). And Tyler - still looking forward to seeing you join us in Onederland. Such a nice place to be! I still can't believe that I not only got here, but have stayed here for seven months!
I'm still sitting at 2.4 pounds down. I'm amazed the scale hasn't budged. I'm expecting a big drop at some point before my weekly weigh-in on Monday morning because I have been COMPLETELY on-plan with both meals and exercise. But I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to see it on the scale!
Anticipation is making me late... is keeping me waiting... [Thank you Carly Simon!]
I don't know if we've got a winner yet. We'll have to wait until KittyCat checks in - or maybe a dark horse in the race - 'cuz it ain't me.
I'm up one-fifth of a pound from yesterday. Sad, too, 'cuz I not only ran my four miles, but I walked about three miles last night to see if I could kick the scale down a little bit - and my food was within range as well. My legs are pretty sore, though, so that might be the reason the scale is not cooperating. And I'm looking at pulling an all-nighter to meet a deadline of tomorrow morning, too, so it's not looking good for tomorrow, either.
Oh well. This challenge has been good at helping me stay focused and on plan. That's what it's all about, right?

Ok...I have to accept that this just isn't my best challenge ever! I started off strong..lost a pound and then gained it back. And since then nothing has happened! I'm soooo close to my first mini-goal but my body just won't let go of the last 2 lbs!
to all of you that are working it out and losing weight! I'm going to keep up the good fight and I'll be back to check-in find out who the winner is!
Yay, I dropped to 201.2 this morning, only 1.4 pounds to go! I doubt I'm going to get the chance to get there though, I kinda expect LD or Kitty to make that 5 pound mark today or tomorrow! Go girls go!
Congrats Josephine on your loss! No, I'm not a vegetarian but I am Orthodox Christian and we practice lenting throughout various times of the year where we basically go mostly vegan.
Ok all, I think I'm going to have to drop out of this challenge because I feel that I need to lay off the scale for a while (it makes me crazy!) and this challenge pretty much requires a daily weigh-in. I'll keep checking to see who wins..... I'm rooting for you guys!!!!!!
CANNOT MOVE SCALE!!!!
still at 157. actually doing my best to keep it at 157. Dang, losing weight is really so flipping hard!!
This is the first time I've spent more than two hours being careful with what I eat(in about 2 1/2 years). So, languishing at my highest weight ever was understandable. Now, though have my daily plate congratulating me for charting kcal for 16 days and I've been exercising 3-4x/week I CANNOT move the numbers down!
Ok, I have made some progress, but it seems my body wants to stay chubby. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Gracenote -- the daily weigh-ins can seriously make you crazy, can't they! I totally get that!
Kitty -- You're doing great, sometimes the scale is a little behind in reflecting the work that you're putting in... then suddenly you get a big drop! Hang in there, you've been rockin' it!
I didn't weigh in this morning because I didn't sleep much, and I knew that I wouldn't have a loss, and especially when I'm tired, that will really mess with my mind. I'm almost done with my grant application, though, so I will get some sleep tonight, and then I will check in. I'm not expecting good news, though, so this might be between Josephine and KittyCat now! KittyCat - I've heard that when you're losing the last twenty or thirty pounds are the hardest to let go. You're doing the right thing, though, and it is bound to pay off eventually!
Only .2 pounds to go! I'll work extra hard today. I did a great 5 mile run this morning so maybe the scale will be in the mood o reward my efforts tomorrow morning!
Josephine- can you taste it?? (s0 to speak)
girls-- 156.5 this am! .5 away from goal. so glad to know my scale is not stuck!
You know, I was thin for quite a while.... never thought I'd be overjoyed at 156.5. But, such as it is. On the same note, I grew up in NY. Recently my husband (DH?) and I were returning from a long car trip with our four very young sons. When we saw the NJ sign (where I now reside) we rejoiced. Life brings all sorts of surprises!
have a good morning all.
