Down 8 pounds!!! Woot!!!

SW: 147.8

1/11: 147.6
1/12: 146.8
1/13: 146.8 TOM - just happy there isn't a huge gain!
1/14: 146.2 yay, lowest I've been since Christmas!
1/15: 146.0 Slightly surprising, since dinner was very carb-y last night.
1/16: 145.8 Slow and steady wins the race...
1/17: 145.8 Holding steady is good - feels like solidifying my losses.
1/18: 145.6 Wish it'd move a little faster, but we're going in the right direction.
1/19: 144.6 Now THAT's more like it! I'm shocked I hit my GW this early - I usually use much more slowly. Now let's see how much farther I can go by the end of the month.
1/20: 144.6 I can't believe how many days in a row I've had without an upswing in the scale. No complaints, of course, but I'm due for one any day now.
1/21: 145.4 What'd I tell you about the upswing? No big deal.
1/22: 145.0 That's a bit better.
1/23: 144.8 Going back down! Gonna try to eat very clean today so I can hopefully get a new low tomorrow.
1/24: 144.2
1/25: 144.0 Yay! Did out the math, and I've been losing an average of .2 pounds per day this month. Not bad at all.
1/26: 143.6
1/27: 143.4
1/28: 143.6 Slight gain, but that's to be expected now and again.
1/29: 144.6 What in tarnation...? Bah!
1/30: 144.0 Making banana bread last night = horrible decision, but it all turned out okay.
1/31: 145.0 Sigh. Still counting it as goal met, though, since it's just an upswing and I've been at/under goal for like 10 days.

GW: 144.8

1/27 - 178.0 (Don't know if I trust this number, WAY overdid my workout last night and spent ALL NIGHT being nauseous)
1/28 - 177.7
1/29 - 177.7
1/30 - 181.2 (Need to start stalling my weight loss, bridesmaid dress needs to fit in two weeks!)
1/31 - 178.6

8.2lbs! My goal was a rather measly amount because I thought I would have to take a break from losing until after my friend's wedding but I didn't do that until this week!

so glad i saw this today!!! Love this challenge.

Starting 1/1/2012 weight 213
ending 1/31/2012 weight 199

My goal was to lose 16 lbs..yes it was a big number, but i know i should have hit it. Too many family food gatherings. So i think my goal going forward will be 10lbs a month. I will kick A$$ in February
