Adding my loss for the week (and bumping the thread!)

Bump.

Im hoping to lose as much as I can by Thanksgiving. My body loses weight at its own rate, sometimes fast, sometime slow. If I don't lose it by Thanksgiving then I will be happy with Christmas. 3rd WI tomorrow even though Im on my 5th week. October is a crazy, crazy month for me and of course I decided to start IP in October but I was ready and motivated and still am.

Weigh in today and 4 lbs down. Just love this program.

Just logged my 4 pounds for the week

Wow!!! 950lbs in 7 weeks(8 for some) from 70 people. Amazing. Great job everyone. IP is awesome!

Just logged in my 3.2lb this week!!!

Don't forget to log your WEEK EIGHT weigh ins!!! We are closing in on a THOUSAND POUNDS lost in eight weeks - amazing!!!

Well it will take nothing short of a miracle for me to lose 30lbs by the American Thanksgiving...but I am still on track to lose 25lbs, so I guess that's not too bad. I have pretty much reached the weight were I normally stall...and things have definitely slowed down, but at least I am still moving in the right direction!!

I have some kind of virus that has my ears so clogged I'm home today b/c my balance is all wonky. I KNOW the inflammation will throw off tomorrow's WI. Oh well, I know I'm losing fat so I don't care...It'll come off the scale at some point. In the meantime, I'm drinking a hot tea made of ginger root, lemon and cayenne pepper. THAT should chase away the evil yuck in my head (and help me push caffeine-free fluids!)

Hey...I see more GREAT losses this week! Way to go! I hope you get to feeling better soon Lisa!

I just logged my 1.1 lb loss. Not the most impressive, however, I did lose 2.25 inches this week!!! :-)

Just logged in my 3.0 lb. this week!

Well, I guess inflammation didn't throw off my WI. I was happy camper: 3.8
And over 1/3 of the way to my goal of 110 lbs off in just 13 weeks!
Onto the next third!

Happy Friday everyone! Don't forget to log those losses for the week, we are heading into WEEK NINE on Monday and the end is in sight!!!

Here's the spreadsheet link so you don't have to dig for it:

Some highlights for the day:

The 10% club is growing! These folks have lost 10% or more of their starting body weight during the challenge: AlisonS, Bella73123, blessedamberly, Blueskywyoming, ddd849, Fishette, fitgirl2012, Half Again, Kay2012, Lotsahope, Sharrow, Twindy57

Half Again, ddd849 and AlisonS have already hit the 30 pound mark with two weeks to spare! Great job guys!

dizzyjean, fitgirl2012, nolarue, and tova51 are all less that 10 pounds from goal!

AND with lots of empty spaces needing to be filled in this week - we have still logged over 980 lbs of weight gone forever!!!

Keep your eyes on the prize!

I need to go back in and fill in my spreadsheet info! After a near 5 week stall in the 154-152 range and a reshuffle of my meal order, I am finally dropping again. I don't mind a slow drop, I do mind a stall!!!!

So hopefully I won't jinx myself, but per my home scale I am 1.5 lbs from 30 by Thanksgiving (that's my "wake up" WI). My actual WI are Mondays at5pm.

I just realized we are less than 5 lbs to a total combined weight loss of 1,000lbs!! Holy smokes!
