austinaus- you're nearly there! How fantastic!

Okay, I'll hop in here. Just started two weeks ago:

09/10/12: 185
09/17/12: 178.5
09/24/12: 177

It's fun to see everyone's weight "calendar" at a quick glance. Proof that it DOES work! Good job, everyone!

I'll hop in too
8/8 - 169
8/15 166
8/21 160.2
8/27 157.8
9/4 155.2
9/11 153
9/18 149.4
9/25 148.8

I just started at the Metabolic Research Center. My goal is to lose 47 pounds but if I could lose 60- even better. My start weight was 197 and I'm down to 194 today. 3 pounds down in 4 days--not to shabby.

This is the first time in my life I've been this overweight (just had a baby in December & the weight crept up).

So- the journey begins. Thanks for the support!

Welcome aboard and the absolute best of luck!!! I gained weight after my baby too - funny, I actually went up to 194 because I never stopped eating for 2 even after one left the restaurant

Congrats on the little one by the way!

Another good weigh in. I've been trying to focus on calories and exercise.

New to this thread. After 4 months of losing I'm stalling, big time. Now I'm just looking for some motivation and accountability, not to mention some inspiration. Thanks all!

Down another 2# this week. It is strange, last week I exercised like crazy and only lost .4 whereas this week I didn't do any exercise (only dieted) and lost 2 pounds. Who knows??

Next week might be a struggle. I picked up a weeks worth of consulting work so I will be busy working and around many temptations. I guess at some point I need to expose myself to all of the worlds pitfalls. Rather than what I have been doing, hiding in the house.

Anyhoo, I love reading all your posts and am inspired by all your struggles and victories!

Down another 2.6# this week!

I was a little surprised because I worked all week and was sitting at a desk rather than up and about like I have been doing. SOOO happy to have kissed the 270's goodbye for good.

This week will have its challenges too. We have houseguests coming for a few days and entertaining them always seems to center around food. But I am responsible for the choices I make and my intention is to stay on plan.

We shall see...

Congrats Syndehat!
Good luck with your challenges, I'm off for a couple days and feel like I'll have to be extra careful not to treat monday and tuesday like an extended weekend...
