OK Everyone, How did we do this week?

I'm down 2 more lbs - to 168!

I am down 3lbs this week, probably cause I haven't hardly eaten the last 2-3 days due to being sick! LOL!

Lynn -- I am so proud of you. After everything that you have been through, you continued to with the challenge. Way to go on your 2 lb.!!

For me, I am a little worried. The TOM came for me in the middle of the night last night and I am about to die. When it comes around it kills me on the first day. I have not gotten any sleep at all and I weighed myself this morning and I up 1lb. My weigh in is going to be bad because of me starting my period today. I guess I will drink more water today than usual and see what happens for my weigh in tomorrow.

Melisss,

I am a daily weigher. One thing I have learned from this is that weight fluctuates daily. It's the long-term that matters.

Hope you feel better.

Lynn -- I have been weighing everyday too and it is about to kill me. My weight has been going up and down all week. I can't do that anymore. I am going to have my husband hide the scale after tomorrow. I am hoping that the weight gain that I show for today is from my period arriving at my door step this morning. It has never come on a weekend, it always comes in the middle of the week.

Yes the weight will fluatuate and my weight is a big example of that. I weigh every day to see my progress but I dont' count on the true weigh in until Sunday.

I can really only weigh once a week - For a long time I had dh hide the scale and pull it out only on Saturday night so I could weigh in on Sunday AM - but I am better about it now... usually I stay the heck off of it. Even if I DO peek, I know it doesn't matter until Sunday AM...

Oh and Melissa - the week before and after my period my weight can fluctuate as much as 5 lbs in one day - Pay no attention until next week really... hormones can really mess with you - you tend to over react etc... just don't fret about it - stay on target and you will see results eventually - hang in there...

Anywho - WTG on the losses you guys... I am down one lb... I am pleased. All I care about is steady progress. I think I will make my Valentine's goal!

I am down 1.5 lbs but offical WI tomorrow.

I weigh everyday too. But I know now how my body fluctuates and I can have a 3 lb water weight overnite....Don't let it bother you or as you say hide the scales.

For me it just tells me, OK be very good tomorrow or drink a ton of WATER.
And it does encourage me when I see it is down and clues me in to what I can and shouldn't eat.

Don't let it stress you out.

Well I STS but O am going to offically WI tomorrow. I had loads of cookies and popcorn Fri night and last night. So I want to "Flush" out my salt today and see if there's a difference.

I am a daily weigher too. It keeps me on my toes if I am doing good or need to work harder for the day. I know I should work hard every day, but when that scale starts going back up all of a sudden my motivation does too!!!

When TOM comes for me... my WI goes up 3-5 pounds as well. So chin up theres another WI next week.

My last weigh in was impacted by my TOM and I gained back everything I had lost. I weighed myself throughout the course of a day and went from 147 to 144 in the course of two hours of housework... and back to 147. Hang in there... this is the great thing about being a woman, right?!?

Hi everyone!

Congratulations everyone on their losses!!! WTG!

Mellisa -- hang in there! You will probably see a loss next week!!!

Dani -- Popcorn & cookies!!! ??? (Well I guess popcorn is ok if you don't have it with butter and it is plain). Get back on track!! You are doing so well!

Laurie -- WTG!!

I am VERY happy to say I am down 2 pounds!!!!! Wooooo Hooooooo!

I thought I would be sts or max 1 pound. I am ecstatic!! (sp) I am now 5 pounds from my original goal...but, 10 pounds from my new goal!

Anyway, good luck to everyone!!!!

Love you guys!

Congrats everyone!! Keep up the good work you are doing!

I'm down 4 so far, but my official WI day isn't until Tuesday.

Well! Strap me to the side of a pig and roll me in the mud! You guys are just completely blowing me away! Look how well we are all doing! It is really fantastic... No wonder no one wants to take us up on our challenge...

Everyone is doing so great. Makes me want to try harder. It was not a good OP week for me. I just couldn't seem to pull it all together. Every night I decide the next day will be OP, but I always blow it. I SO want to do this. I am so tired of being fat. I feel so unattractive. But I did go to the gym the last three days. I'm afraid to WI. I know I am up. SO, this is my week. I am doing this for me.
