8/1- 114.9 "official weight"
8/2- 115.3 TOM started
8/3- 116.2
8/4- 116.5

Gotta love TOM weight- looks particularly bad coming after a good empty weight weekend! But this is mostly attributed to digestion and fluid retention... Waiting for the woosh!

Start Weight: 140.2

8/1 -- 140.2

8/4 -- 139.4 (-0.8 from SW) :kickcan:

kristip - woosh away!

HW - I am fascinated by the variation in your weight. My drop today of 1.8 pounds was very unusual for me! Usually just a few ounces up or down no matter what I do (of course a few days in a row of overeating or severe restriction can make a big difference ... ummm MUCH easier in the UP direction)

I really admire everyone's dedication here! I get so bored and frustrated with this weight loss process. It helps a little to see other people's journeys.

So ... out of curiosity, I was trying to figure out how different weights are proportional to height. The most common number I see is 5 pounds per inch to get an approximation. So if I were 5'8" I would weigh proportionally ~149 pounds, 5'4" I would be ~129 pounds and if I were 5'2" I would weigh ~119 pounds. Frame size, body fat, etc aside of course; this is a rough comparison. I found this interesting!

August Goal - 139
Plan: Commitment, Water, Hope!

Let's do this!!!

8/1/15 - 146.8
8/2/15 - 144.8
8/3/15 - 145.6
8/4/15 - 146.6 - (ugh... wrong way...)
COMMITMENT!!!!

My goal is still to stay under 120 lbs. I seem to maintain here, already work out every day, and my calories are at 1500 and I don't want to go lower. (120 lbs on my higher scale in NY, my lower scale in PA reads 1lb lower)
Fantasy goal weight- under 110
Goal weight- 112 lbs
I'm okay where I am though :)

Lowest in July- 117.8 lbs

8/1 119.2 lbs (LS)
8/2 119.0 lbs (LS)
8/3 118.2 lbs (LS)
8/4 118.8 lbs (LS)
8/5 118.2 lbs (LS)
8/6 118.2 lbs (LS)
8/7 117.8 lbs (LS)

Starting weight: 114.9
Goal weight: 111

8/1- 114.9 "official weight"
8/2- 115.3 TOM started
8/3- 116.2
8/4- 116.5
8/5- 116.1

Emma, it usually goes about the same, tbh. Starting with a weigh-in on Sunday - the low point - I quickly seque into eating whatever I want for the day, which adds up pretty quickly! I end up "gaining" about five or six pounds by next morning's weigh-in. Because it's mostly just food and liquid, it goes away over the course of the week. You don't see that, though, because I eat the bulk of my 1200 calories a day at night, and weigh first thing in the morning.

I start to get worried around Friday, because my numbers are still kinda high, usually, and so I eat teh 1200 at breakfast rather than dinner. Then I water fast on Saturday. That can make quite a difference, BUT...sometimes I have to work out like a madwoman still, to make weight. That's what happened this last Saturday, where I ended up doing my usual jogging/walking intervals for two hours! It was a bummer, especially first thing in the morning. I didn't end up getting to goal, actually, until about 11:30, and ended up having just four Reese's-like fat bombs before going to the movies and enjoying a big bucket of buttered popcorn and Coke.

I haven't felt like exercising this week, so it will be a nail-biter, for me, to see what happens. :corn:

I am also interested in how different weights are proportional to height. I use the BMI chart at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educ...MI/bmicalc.htm. Because I am short, I have no idea how a certain weight corresponds to a taller height, and that website helps.

Start Weight: 140.2
Goal Weight: 134.8 (–5.4 pounds)

8/1 -- 140.2
8/2 -- 140.4
8/3 -- 141.2
8/4 -- 139.4
8/5 -- 138.8 (-1.4 from SW)

I just checked - For me to be BMI of 18.5 I would have to be 114.5 pounds :yikes: I haven't seen that weight in ~17 years. Zero chance of me getting there again in any healthy way.

My first goal (which is also this month's goal) would put me at BMI 21.8. My dream goal at this point would put me at 20.9. Ticker goal, which is becoming ludicrous, would put me at 20.1.

July lowest: 57.7 kg (127.2 lbs)

SW: 58.1 kg (128.0 lbs)
GW: 57.0 kg (125.6 lbs)

Seriously good food choices! I discovered the joy of squash this week. :D Yesterday and today had squash sauteed with tofu and feta cheese, mixed in with israeli couscous and lentils. Also added a steamed orange pepper today - so amazing! :love:
