just checking in, looks like we are all struggling through and thats awesome cause as long as we stick to our plans the scale has to cooperate eventually!
Welcome to our late joiners, and 25 lbs definately sounds doable in the 3 months left, it would be an average of a tiny bit above 2 lbs a week
i also wanted to share, i saw the 220s today for the first time!!! 229.6!! I dont count any weigh ins except fridays as official so i cant update anything yet but it definately helped me start out today on a happy note now hopefully the scale will cooperate on friday
Thanks MadamButterfly, I weighed this morning for the heck of it and was 162.9 so getting closer! The frustrating part is that I was in the 150's in February but gained some back (obviously) and it is taking me so long to get back there this time around. But I am exercising and I know it's healthy no matter what the scale says!
I hope everyone is having a healthy and OP week so far!

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 5: 240.7 lbs
The scale was at 239.4 on Monday (I checked several times, lol), but it was back up yesterday and today. I've NEVER been down so little over the course of a week, and I've been totally on-plan, so I'm frustrated. And I STILL have TOM... 11 days now. *sigh* (jennsic and Emmy - I feel your pain!) Drinking lots of water, hoping the scale will be back down tomorrow. I'm not moving my ticker up for water weight, lol.
MadamButterfly: Congrats getting out of the 160s!! And thank you for being so encouraging to me and everyone else - it means a lot.
Our Lady Bonbon: Good job getting back on plan!
Larry: What a huge loss! I'm glad working toward your goal is going so well for you.
pixikat: Yay!! That's a super happy start to the week - I am sure you are looking forward to the Friday update!
lostangel05: Nice job
fashinjunkie: I'm glad you're seeing the scale move back down. And moving back down that quickly... I'm thinking the increase could have been due to starting the exercise? My muscles definitely held on to some water when I started, but it went away in time.
Good Morning everyone Mother nature is packing her bags and taking her gallons of water with her...it's about time! Water weight is starting to come back off, down to 173lbs this morning. Seems like i've been stuck in the 170's FOREVER..UGH Trying to stay focused and keep my eyes on the finish line.
Side note - if anyone has android (sp?) phones, there is an app called "my fitness pal", it's awesome! it will track you calories, water, excersise, all of your nutrients. It even as a bar code scanner so you can scan the barcode of what your eating and it automatically puts all calorie, fat, carbs ect. content into your "jornal" for the day. Also found the C25k app that tracks your progress there...Im so stoked about all these tools, hope it makes this journey a little easier.
Have a FANTASTIC day everyone!
Thanks, chickadee and Madam! You are both so encouraging. Congrats to everybody on their progress, and may this week bring everyone welcome drops on the scale!
apparently the my fitness pal website has been blacklisted by 3fc lol... but yeah, ive always liked the website, i wish i had an android device cause having it on my phone would be really nice
Hiya! I've been eating well since March 30th (on the 29th I ate way too much, felt sick and displeased with myself, and thus promised myself to eat low calorie for the foreseeable future up until the time I reached a desired body weight for once and for all). I think I'll join this challenge. My weighing myself days fall on Wednesdays, so I'll adjust my weekly reporting accordingly. I'll end on July 6th - a wee bit later than others in this challenge. I don't really care when it ends, except that I do lose the weight by then. So, hmmm....what should that July 6th goal be? I'm gonna try for 2 pounds/week for the first five weeks (starting next week), and then down to 1/week alternating with 2/week to the end. This adds up to 22 pounds from today and would make me 114 lbs by July 6th. That would feel good.
Here it is so far:
Start: 142 (Mar. 30) - a little artificially high
Week 1, April 6: 136 (-6)
Week 2, April 13:
Week 3, April 20:
Week 4, April 27:
Week 5, May 4:
Week 6, May 11:
Week 7, May 18:
Week 8, May 25:
Week 9, June 1:
Week 10, June 8:
Week 11, June 15:
Week 12, June 22:
Week 13, June 29:
Week 14, July 6:
I noticed that as well, if you put the words "my fitness pal" all together with no space it shows as being black listed..lol. backto 174 this morning, been drinking tons of water to get the water weight off, strange how that works.
I'm having trouble staying motivated to excersise because i don't see the scale going down....grrr Got to stick with it though or i'm really going to be upset come July. Good luck to everyone today. Tomorrow is the product of what you do today Oh so deep...lol
woo another 3.1lbs down for the week, putting me at 6.6lbs lost since MY late start to the challenge, and 19.8lbs to go to hit my goal of 265 by the 4th of july!
