kuri - just noticed you're another Denverite - how fun! New scales can be tough - I went through that last year and it took me a while to come to terms with the new number. Hang in there with the issues and stuff!

First weekend back in the states and after TOM and I'm at 180! It may be because its a different scale, but I'll take it!

[QUOTE=dancerindenver;3940792]welcome to the new arrivals!

juhir - Happy to share - part of why I'm losing quickly is that this has been a re-start for me. ...That's pretty much it - hope it's helpful. I'm sure I'll stall soon

Dear DancerinDenver

Thanks for sharing.... Lots of great tips, and I really appreciate it. Sending you good energy so that you continue to lose the pounds rapidly, and dont "stall".

Hi all,

I've only just joined and started the whole weight loss thing in earnest last Friday (15 July). I weighed 221 lbs. Now I'm 216 so 5 lbs in the first few days (you know how it is with the big losses early).

Now to keep my head down and see how close I can get to the 10 lbs in the remaining 13 days of July.

Cheers!
Syz

Oops, forgot to check in yesterday.

Only a .5 loss, but I'll take it! Hopefully next week will be better. I've been 100% in my eating, just working out a lot.

As of this morning I am only 2lbs away from my 10lbs!!!! Whoo hoo! Hoping the hit my goal by the end of the week.

I'm in! I'm currently teetering between 265 and 268, so I don't know where to start? Today I weighed in at 268, so I guess I'll start here.

Hi everyone and congrats on the weight loss. I have not lost any weight so far this month. I did start going to Curves and started dance lessons. Hope to see some weight loss soon.

Lost 5 for the month...down to 192 from start of 197. Halfway there! Not bad, considering I joined in late. I thought I'd gain a pound or 2 after not sticking with it this weekend, so yay!

congrats!! we have the same goal weight for this month!

just popping in to say hi and to let you all know I haven't forgotten about the spreadsheet...I'm up against a deadline for a project so all my spare minutes I've been working on that..but I will be done with it by Thurs and will be able to get back to daily updates by Fri.
Keep up the great work everyone!
Jen

7/20-168...

Yay for my mini goal!! Myrtle Beach bound on Saturday!

Down another pound. While it's disappointing it's not more, I'll certainly take it. My clothes are fitting better and I got to pick some shorts out of the box of clothes I put up because they didn't fit. Yay! It's like I have a whole new wardrobe without spending money (bonus).

Starting 6/29: 219
7/6: 217.8

7/20: 215.0

Start of Month: 172.2 lbs
Last Week: 168.2 lbs
Today: 166.6 lbs
Loss for week: - 1.6 lbs
Total Loss for Month: - 5.6 lbs

4.6 lbs to go... crossing my fingers. It is going to be close.

So, does you burn calories every time your heart rate increases? Cause I'm curious how many calories I burned after seeing a giant wolf spider in the living room earlier...

Congrats to everyone for their successes...and if anyone didn't lose any, there is always next week! One day at a time!
