Tooth an nail wins the race??

AAAARGH!!! I was so hoping to see 20 pounds today and I missed it by 0.2 pounds! I don't normally eat breakfast before my meeting, but I went to the 9am meeting and I was grocery shopping right after - can't do that on an empty stomach. Oh well, I'll get it officially next week. :-)

I think I'm FINALLY UNSTUCK . . . The 60's lasted forever or close to it, so hopefully the scale is going to relinquish a few pounds over the next several weeks :)

First of all, CONGRATS TO BECK!!!!!!! Wow, that is amazing! Good for you! :carrot::carrot::carrot:

I'm starting to think I may not hit my goal (though I'm losing very quickly right - almost too quickly). But, I most certainly would have if I had stayed on plan the whole time instead of screwing up in the beginning!

I can still try though!!! Good luck everyone! :-)

I joined a Labor Day Challenge and they use a spreadsheet to track everyone's weight loss. I had some time to kill this morning, so I went through this thread and compiled a spreadsheet for us too. (Yeah, I know... Way too much free time!) You should be able to access it here: Independence Day Challenge

If you can't access it, let me know. I will probably have to tweak some of the formulas, and there are a few more I want to add in. But this way, we can see how much we've lost as a group when this is all over!

Hopefully some of the people who haven't posted in a while will get back on the wagon. :-)

Hey everyone. I hope everyone had a great week. My week started off great and I lost a total of 3.8 lbs, but then started feeling bad on Saturday. Now I seem to have a sinus infection and feel horrible. This week is my last week of work before summer vacation (gotta love working at a school), so hopefully I'll feel better soon.

Beck - CONGRATULATIONS!!! :carrot: What a fantastic job!

LisaP - I'm on the wagon, I just haven't been posting! I get myself involved in too many challenges (because I like them so much!) and then can't keep up.

I changed my weigh-in day from Wednesday to Sunday, since that's what I'm doing in another challenge, so my numbers get a little screwy around the end of April - I have an extra weigh-in in there. But here's where I've been and where I'm at now:

Start Weight (March 6): 250.0 lbs
March 9: 249.6 lbs
March 16: 248.0 lbs
March 23: 245.2 lbs
March 30: 241.4 lbs
April 6: 240.7 lbs
April 13: 236.8 lbs
April 20: 232.4 lbs
April 27: 231.0 lbs
May 1: 228.4 lbs
May 8: 224.9 lbs
May 15: 224.0 lbs
May 22: 219.4 lbs
May 29: 217.6 lbs

And as of this morning I'm at 213.0, so closing in on my goal of 210 by July 4! I'll make sure I remember to post another weigh-in on Sunday.

Hope everyone still has their eyes on the prize, and good luck these last few weeks!

Wahoo!!! I had a killer week and I'm soooo happy!

With four weeks to go in the challenge, I know I can make 7 pounds. I'm only two pounds from 25 and five pounds from my 10% goal. I feel so good!

Just checking in for an update. I am out of the 160's and I'm never going back . . . they were a killer for me but I'm in the lower 150s now and I'm sure things are moving again . . . SO, SO HAPPY about that!!! Only 4 more weeks until the 4th of July . . . boy time sure flies when you're having fun!!!!

So, didn't get the whoosh I was hoping for. Instead I gained a few pounds. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been drinking enough water. So I'm gonna do my best to start drinking at least 80 oz a day to see how much of a difference it makes.

I hope it's ok that I join this thread so late into your challenge. I am just coming back to the forum after taking the last year to apparently gain almost all of the weight back that I had lost for my wedding last March :( Posting my WIs in these challenges were one way that made me feel accountable for my actions during the week and there is something about knowing you have to post your weight at the end of the week for all to see that makes you want to kick butt everyday! :)
