If I looked at just the number on the scale, I'd probably feel disappointed since there hasn't been a big change in weight so far. But the scale doesn't know how to measure these really happy changes:
-My muscle mass has increased almost 5 lbs this week
-This week I've lost an average of 0.5% body fat per day
-Pants are starting to get baggy. Hooray!
Hope you're enjoying your own victories, big and small. Good luck on a brand new week.
So I LOVE this challenge for a lot of reasons...the number one reason being that Valentine's Day is my anniversary and I've been slowly losing weight and since June I've been in a rut. I really need to push harder to work this extra fat off my body.
I think this is a perfect way to help motivate me into doing it!!
So as of my last weigh in I was at 178.4. So from 178.4 I really want to be like 160.0 pounds, but...I do not know if that is realistic. So let's shoot for a smaller goal.
GOAL: is -27 lbs. Thats 1.5 lbs per week
Starting at 276 on 10/15/09
10/20/09~ 275.6 (-0.4) I'll take it! lol
10/27/09~ 270 (-5.6) I was soooo sick for 5 days with God knows what but I'm on the mend
11/03/09~269 (-1.0)
11/10/09~267 (-2)
11/17/09~265.6 (-1.4)
11/24/09~261 (-4.0) this time it was the flu ;(
12/01/09~260 (-1.0) With pms and thanksgiving, that's not bad at all!
12/08/09~258 (-2.0) Slowly, but surely

I hope to HIT One-der-land by V-Day! That will be the best Valentine's Day present I could ever give myself! I have to learn to love the transition that my body is making...however slow it may be. Each day I have to get up and say, "Today is going to be an On Plan day." So far, it's working.
I havnt been working out 5-6 times a week the past couple weeks like I was doing at the beginning. Ive been working out like 3ish times a week and obviously my new favorite number is 2. BUT I am recommitting myself after finals tomorrow and will be giving 100% until next semesters finals..haha!
I have lost 18 pounds since the beginning of the challenge and couldnt be happier with that! Im just hoping I make it aleast under 220 for V-day! (My goal was 215)
Anniversary Bod!
