5 Pound Challenge #41
 

Here we go! It's challenge number 41!

Everyone is welcome, hop in at any time.

Here's what to do: We're out to lose 5 pounds. No matter where you're at in your weight loss, it's helpful to break down your loss into small goals like this. Just post your SW (starting weight) as of today, your CW (current weight) which is whenever you weigh in and your GW (goal weight) which is five pounds down from the day you joined in.

Weigh in whenever you like and come tell us about it! You can weigh in as often as you like - some of us do it everyday, some once or twice a week.

The first one to hit five pounds lost gets to start the next thread!

Best o' luck!

I am sick right now, I haven't been sick since starting my dieting, so I don't know how it will be effecting me.

Smelling salts for FB! Don't ya just LOVE that goal weight???!!! :D

OK, so here's how I'm putting a positive spin on this ridiculous starting weight. I'm retaining 2.5 pounds of water, so watch out guys! I know, I know, I said that last time :dizzy:

Well I'm back to my last starting weight, so here we go again.

I'm just coming off TOM so I'm hoping to lose a few pounds quick, I hope.

I only got 2.5 lbs before you won the other one FB! Congratulations. I'm in again, but have been sick and not eating much so sort of expect my weight to jump up a bit. 5 lbs is going to be tough.

Wow, typing that goal weight gave me a little thrill! I'm going to work for it. :)

Rock on FB!!! Way to Go!!! Look at that goal weight!!! :D:D:D:D

I hit the gym this morning and had an awesome session with my trainer...no I am baking cookies. Keep me strong! :)

Thanks for rescuing us! I think I am on the uphill climb to TOM, because my weight was up again today, and I've been OP, dangit!

I'm defintely in. I was so thrilled I lost over a pound when I weighed this morning. Now I'm just thinking, "oh great now I have an even lower goal weight!" I can do it though! I have been a good girl :D with food and exercise. So, here it is:

I baked cookies all day yesterday and did NOT eat ONE!!!! :D More baking today....staying strong!

Hey Paula, my body is doing weird things too. I haven't had a bm in about a week and i'm not peeing as much as i should either which sucks when u look at the scale. hopefully we'll have a big weight loss soon.

Barb- good will power! i'm making desserts for my family's x-mas eve party. Hopefully i can do the same

Hey - thanks everybody!
Julie - I am sorry. I feel your pain.
Living4him - Wow, thanks! I never have imagined I'd be a source of inspiration, thanks.

Okay, yeah, I luck out with another day of downward whoosh. Periods and sodium are good for something I guess! Imma enjoy this because it means I'll be stuck again soon.

6 POUNDS to chopping myself in half and maintaining! :lol: I can do that.

My weight is all over the place lately so I hope this starting weight is an anomaly but who knows? I have been way over on calories for quite a few days but it is also TOM.

SW: 145

GW: 140

I THOUGHT today would be the day for the TOM whoosh ... but maybe tomorrow :) The cookies last night might have something to do with it ... NO SUGAR!!!

Super grats FB!

Hectic day for me yesterday which included some very bad bad eating... chocolate and cheesecake included. Anyways, back on track today with half a pound up probably still going up but its a lesson I should learn from.

Hope it's ok if I join ;) I've gained a few lbs this past week (lot of stress going on) so I'd love to get back to where I was and maybe even get out of these darn 150's for good!

CW: 154
GW: 149

Still on the upward climb to TOM, I think. I'm staying OP, though, so it's got to come down eventually, right?

Alright, somehow i missed the new thread, but i'm in!

Do you all weigh in on the same day and then post? Is it the first person to drop 5 lbs wins? I'm new to this, sorry...I really don't know.

Thanks.

cw: 162
gw: 157

Well, when a new thread begins, we all just post our current (starting weight) at the beginning, then update our "current weight" as we go. :goodscale Then, yep, whoever loses 5# first "wins" and starts the new thread. So, welcome and :goodluck: Everyone on here has been great. I just started a month or so ago and it really keeps me on track!

Welcome kmac!

The way I understand it, you can weigh in whenever you want. The starting weight should be your weight on the day the thread started or later. The first one to lose 5 pounds wins and starts the new thread.

Thanks a bunch girls!!! I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Lost a pound, probably because I didn't eat dinner yesterday unless beer counts as dinner ooops.

Ah, the same today. Good deal - I'm as fond of that as moving down. Well, almost. I'll enjoy it while I can, I suspect it will creep back up after I try a weights class today that's rumored to be murder.

I'm not weighing myself today, not after that philly cheesesteak burger last night, grrrr!

Holy Crap FB. That is so freaking awesome. I so want to be you...still... :)
