Okay so I established a new goal. I want to lose .84 of a pound each week. If I do this then I will reach my goal of 145 by Thanksgiving. This is a very reasonable goal and shouldn't be too hard. Hopefully this goal will be simple enough for me to accomplish.

June 27th - 164.8 (I think my scale is broken)

July 04th - Wasn't home to weigh myself plus TOM is here so I'll just skip this week

July 11th - 166.6

July 18th - 166.6

July 25th - 166.2

August 1st - 166.2

August 8th - 166.0 At least its going down and not up.

August 15th - 168

August 22nd - 166.4

August 29th - 165.2

Jess i've just looked at your pics and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
You should be so proud of yourself you look so pretty and do not need to lose any more weight in my opinion but we'll support you in your goals and like you said your goals are very doable..GOOD LUCK

Thanks Cat. You know that saying "pictures don't lie." Well that's a bunch of crap I'm very unhappy mainly with my arms, but also my thighs and stomach. I have lost a lot of weight but I still have a ways to go.

I will report my weight tomorrow.

For some reason I lost weight this week. It's weird because I haven't exercised once and I wasn't making the best choices in regards to eating. Hmmmm maybe it's the warm weather. I have no idea what it could be, but whatever I'm doing its working

Congratulations Jess I will have to weigh-in tomorrow i need a new battery for my scale its had the same one in since i bought it and i think thats why the readings are so erratic
they changed so many times yesterday that i was in shock and i weighed 3lbs less later in the day than i did in the morning and thats not usual.

Ok, I'm in. I took a break but back now. Got a little discouraged at the end there of the last one. Good luck Cat, Jess and anyone else who wants to join our challange. I am not going to set a total loss goal, but would at least like to lose 1lb a week.

Barb

Great to have you with us barbmarie and 1lb a week is a very sensible goal

I took some "before" pics yesterday so if you wanna look go to: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/cathy_cat15
You will find them in the yahoo photo album I'm hoping to be posting some great "after" ones like Jess did

Barb -Welcome back! Glad you decided to come back. Congrats on the 2 pound loss

Cat- Hang in there. Hopefully you'll see a loss this week. The pics are great! Wow, is all I can say!

I'm hoping for a good week this week. I want to get to 164 by Friday.

Hi Jess,
I'm going to try real hard this week so i've decided to have a "no beer" week what have i said? i'm sure that that will make a big difference...and i'm going to exercise too i have'nt done any since Wednesday..Bad Cat

Thanks for the welcome back. I have really started exercising the past couple of weeks, every day. It does make a big difference. I feel a little looser in the clothes too. This weeks gonna be hard, with the 4th of July and all being on a weekend. Yikes!

HUH!! I've been really good for 4 days and i have'nt lost a pound i can only assume its because i've been inactive because of my broken toe when i first got on the metal "thing" it showed a 1lb loss but then i made the mistake of getting on again for a second opinion and thats when 'it' double crossed me so i'll have to grin and bear it and wait until next week..i'll try and do some exercise today too. I WILL get that thing to show a loss next week!

This week will be the week Cat!!! You can do it!

Thanks Jess but i'm struggling i got on the scale this morning and i just could'nt get the same reading twice and it varies by 3lbs!! I don't want to buy another scale they upset me anyway, i've just tried again and i got 158lbs 3 X's so i'll take that..just .5lb but going in the right direction

Uggghhh I had my company picnic this weekend and I ate a lot. Mainly deserts. Not a good way to lose weight.

Cat - I'd take the -.5 pounds any day

Barb - Yeahhhhhh you are doing great!
