Well I am frustrated. This week I am surprised I lost anything. I have been so stressed and over eating with little to no exercise. I just knew that I had gained. This spring semester is giving me a headache and stressing me. Every time I turn around something has gone wrong GRRRR. Oh well time to get back on track. I am so mad at my self for getting off track and not exercising like I am suppose to. This loosing weight thing is hard, but I always try to remind my self oh the good ol saying. They never said it be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. So I just have to keep reminding my self that this is a journey and I will make mistakes and fail from time to time, but I have to keep going because it will be worth it in the end.

Stick in there Country, you have done a great job so far! I know how you feel with the lack of exercise and eating everything you shouldn't, and loosing weight. Everyone is like "why are you upset? this is good!" But it just does not feel good! I feel like I am doing it wrong, that its fake, and if this is the results I am getting while being off track, IMAGINE my results if I was on track! but they are right! progress is progress! Its not easy, and it is worth it (I couldn't have said it better than you did, so I did not even try), but just know that as you form good habits, it gets easier.. it gets to be something you almost ALMOST don't need think about.

Also, I always tell myself "Just became I made a bad decision as a snack, does not mean I need to make a bad decision for dinner" .. not that it changes anything for me.. but it is true. A bad start to your day does not dictate a bad end.

Keep up the great work!!! You're doing fabulously!

Lost one pound this week. Since I started and weighed in only four days ago, I think this is a pretty awesome outcome. I have not been working out as much this week as I should. I've been letting life get in the way too much, but I'm back in the gym tonight.

Woo hoo! Good week here. Down 4.2 pounds! That's almost a third of my goal. So happy to have this challenge in my life right now!

5 pounds here, quite happy. I'm just before TOM, so next week is going to interesting. Keep at it everyone!

Im down 3.2 pounds in 2 days I guess the running, drinking plenty of water, and strict diet are working. Cant wait till next weeks weigh in so I can have a whole week to work toward that

I’m down 5lbs.! I wasn’t expecting to lose any because I only got a few days of exercise in this past week.
Congratulations to everyone else, I saw a lot of people posing some good numbers on the chart! Hang in there everyone we can do this! One week down! Woo!

Crabcakes I wish you the best of luck! It's. TOM for me blah! You will be just fine dear!!!

Everyone is doing so great! I love these challenges!


Three pound loss for me. It's okay, but it's mostly me coming down from holiday junk food. I know I could have done so much better. I did zero amounts of exercise and had more sugar than I wanted to. Here's to doing better next week!

Yes please add both weights. I need a baseline weight for you so that the spreadsheets don't get screwed up.

Baseline: 1/5 –180.8
Week 1 : 1/12 –180.3

I honestly have no idea how I lost any weight this week. This morning I braced myself for a 2-3 pound gain and was pleasantly surprised with a loss. TOM came and I did nothing but eat. I’ve really been feeling stressed waiting for some things in my life to settle down. I got 2 really good runs in and I guess working so much prevented me from eating some. Great Job Everyone!!

So, I just wanted to point out that I changed my baseline to my actual starting weight for this challenge. I had originally just put my current weight, two days before weigh-in. It's great now because it actually reflects my real starting, and highest-ever, weight.

I'm happy to report that I've lost 5.5 pounds! I know it's all water weight when you're starting out, but I'll take it.
