  • Welcome new folks! I have no weight loss news to report... I've been stressed out lately because I went for a job interview last week - taking a HUGE pay cut, but there's nothing else out there right now!!! At least the pay will cover bills, give me insurance and it's a job that I know I will enjoy... that's IF I get the job. I have a second interview on Thrusday and should hear by Friday. ugh! Stress always messes with my weight loss... I tend to eat more - like today I ate an entire sleeve of saltines... I hate it when I do that! If I get the job, I know it will help with my journey - I'll have less time to sit around and eat and there's a lot of walking around - plus it's right at the skirt of town where I'll be able to walk the city during lunch, which I'm excited about!
  • Updated for 2/20/10 Doesn't look like I'll be close to 25, which was my initial goal, but that rate is really not realistic for me. But I'm almost at 10 since the start of this challenge, and hope to be somewhere between 15 and 20, and I'll be very, very happy to add that to my total.

    1/11 234.5

  • Amy -

    good luck with the new job! A pay cut isn't fun, but all the rest sounds pretty good!
  • Hope everyone is making good progress towards their goal!!!
  • I adjusted all my numbers because of getting a new scale, I guess I can go back and do all the math, but as of right now, my current weight is 233.2 lbs. I'm going to challenge myself to see if I can get back down to 226 on the new scale by April 1. That's a lot for me since I have lost only 5 lbs each month for the last couple of months, but it's not so far out of the question either. Plus I got a Gowear Fit, which will get me to move more (I'm the type that if I see I've got 8000 steps for the day, I'm going to really make the effort to push myself get to 10,000). So hopefully, I'll have a really great March and get to 226.
  • I went back and adjusted all my weights to be consistent with my new scale.
