5 Pound Challenge #42
Here we go! It's challenge number 42!
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! Let's do it! :high: |
Going strong into the New Year!
SW: 261.4 GW: 256.4 :dizzy: :newyear: |
Yay, what a great way to enter the New Year!
SW: 184.4 CW: 184.4 GW: 179.4 :dance: Good luck, all! |
Congrats again Barb! Way to go!
I was up hugely this morning so hopefully there will be a big drop: SW 166 GW 161 |
Count me in!! Holidays hit me hard and I am ready for a new challenge
SW 224 CW 224 GW 219 Lets do it ! |
Whoo Barb! :) I'm at the inlaws today, so no scale. I'll weigh and post tomorrow.
. |
I didn't weigh in today, but I'll weigh in tomorrow. I think this is just what I need. I have so much weight to lose, and it feels overwhelming. I haven't had a stellar beginning. I can't really picture myself eating the way I need to, being thin, having exercise be a regular part of my life. I'm not really sure what I'm doing, what the magic combination will be for the perfect food plan for me. Right now I'm just eating 1500 cal or less.
Anyway, I'm blathering on. But 5 pounds. I can see that. I know how to get there. So I'm in. |
I like this challenge, it is very motivating to have short term goals like this. I'll be posting my SW tomorrow. Congrats on your win!
|
Yay on you Barb!
SW: 153.4 GW: 148.4 |
Congratulations BarbPA!
SW: 144 CW: 144 GW: 139 I don't know if 144 even means anything. I weighed today and yesterday on my own scale, but at my sister's house. The first time I stepped on it it said 151. Finally it seemed to settle on 145 (yesterday) and 144 today, but I think that's probably higher than I would have weighed at home - but who knows :dizzy: I guess tomorrow (my first morning weighing on my scale on my own bathroom floor) will tell the tale :o If eating ... generously ... once in a while is good for the metabolism, I'll do well ;) Unfortunately, I have Christmas #2 to attend tomorrow. But I have a sore throat and achies coming on, so I may beg off of making cookies tomorrow morning. We'll see. |
Great idea, I think I will join in on this one
CW 240 GW 235 |
Gah, christmas, why?
SW: 199.8 CW: 199.8 GW: 194.8 |
Congrats Barb!
I'm in again. :wave: SW: 318.2 CW: 318.2 GW: 313.2 |
SW 215
CW 215 GW 210 I'm always envious of those people who need to "take off 5 lbs" I think "Wow, I wish I only had 5 lbs to lose, if only!" But this thread has made me realize, hey, we all lose it one pound at a time. This is thread #42, that's 210 lbs., that's really inspiring! So, I'm just going to take off 5 lbs ;) and if you don't mind, I think I'll try to get there first. :p See you on thread #43! |
SW: 144
CW: 142.5 GW: 139 I'm so relieved to see the scale back down (even if not to baseline), but I'm still nervous about what the next couple days will do. I have Christmas #2 to do today, and lunch is to be "light" so we can "focus on dessert" :o |
Hey barb, congrats to you. And with Christmas in there too.
SW- 201 CW- 201 GW- 196 It hurts to type 196 as my goal because I was just there about 2 weeks ago. Where did this 5 pounds come from? Christmas maybe. I also have one more gathering today, then I need to kick it into gear. |
I don't know what my weight is today - I'll have to wait till the morning.
But WTG BarbPA! |
Oh the Christmas season is murder on diets. Today is the day I plan to flush all the sodium from my system.
SW: 318.2 CW: 318.0 (-.2) GW: 313.2 |
SW : 199.8
CW : 196.0 (-3.8lbs ^_^) GW : 194.8 what, I may actually be first for once? snap! |
Thanks! :D
SW: 261.4 CW: 258.8 :goodscale GW: 256.4 The scale is being very kind to me the past few days. I just hope it doesn't get mean all of a sudden. :^: |
WTG Barb! :celebrate:
I'm in...looks like this will be a short one, the way you gals are going! I'm down 1.4 from yesterday, but still running high from the Christmas thing. This is my third challenge, and my goal weight keeps going up...I'm so done with that! Back OP since yesterday, though, and feeling good today! SW:185.4 CW:185.4 GW:180.4 |
I'm in on this challenge! I got "lucky" and was sick on Christmas and still not feeling up to par yesterday so that saved me a ton of calories. I wasn't able to weigh today because I wasn't home this morning but I'll start with yesterday's weight.
SW: 168.8 CW: 168.8 GW: 163.8 |

SW: 216 GW: 211 |

SW: 142 GW: 137 |

SW: 216 CW: 214.5 GW: 211 |
sw 152
gw 147 Goal weight is only .4 down from where I was two challenges ago, I am up almost 5 pounds over the holidays. I know better. |
Wow, this could be quick, with all the Christmas bounce backs happening!
SW: 184.4 CW: 182.4 (Yay!!) GW: 179.4 Peace, Heather |
5 lb challenge #42
Morning all
Oh yes I am in ! damn that cheesecake CW153.5 (highest I have been in years) GW133.5 |
So it appears that I'm a little late, but I'm in!
SW: 169.2 GW: 164.2 |
SW: 144
CW: 143.5 GW: 139 Yesterday didn't go so well. Could have been worse, could have been a lot better. But I feel so motivated to get on track because I feel like crap. Of course, that has a lot more to do with being yucky sick, but I'll pretend it's from food and start eating well again. ;) |
Sw 237.0
Cw 235.4 LOST 1.6 so far YIPPIE! Gw 232 KEEP GOING!! |
Wellll.....I just knew that darn scale was teasing me....
SW: 261.4 CW: 261.8 (+3 overnight!!!) :shrug: GW: 256.4 I'm still happy compared to 1 week ago, but it was so nice to see the 250s on the scale yesterday. I'm learning not to stress over the short-term changes. TOM showed up this morning as well so it's most likely contributing to the craziness. Still on plan as strong as ever!!!! Wishing everyone a wonderful day! |
Man Barb you are strong! Congrats on the 5 lb loss! As the saying goes, I know where it went! Well at least some of it :)
Sw: 167.5 Cw: 167.5 Gw: 162.5 |
Melinda, lol about the cheesecake comment..it did me in, too.
SW:185.4 CW:184.6 (-0.8) GW:180.4 |
Barb - Ah, those dastardly scales. They tease us all. You are strong! You'll get back to the 250's in no time!
As for me, I'm just verrrrry slowly losing. Almost back to my pre-christmas weight, though. I start doing sit-ups today, too. Gotta get those abs in shape. SW 318.2 CW 317.4 (-0.8) GW 313.2 |
Wish I could say I'd gone down even a titch. Last party was yesterday so I am getting back to business today.
SW- 201 CW- 201.6 (oops, wrong direction) GW- 196 |
SW : 199.8
CW : 196.0 GW : 194.8 Maintained today. 1.2 lbs to go. Come on fat, get off my tummy! |
I'm sick :( But maybe that will show me new and fake low weights! :)
