Good morning everyone. I am looking forward to seeing everyones great numbers yet again this week.
Today is my 9 month anniversary of when my weight loss journey started. 9 months. In some ways it feels as if I've been doing this forever and ever and other ways it feel relatively short. I still can't believe just how doable weightloss really is. How in 9 months one can really and truly make an unbelievable change in ones life. I am so grateful that I finally saw the "light" and was able to get a grip on my atrocious eating habits and inactivity.
Anyway, I am down 2 lbs as of today, to 147 lbs. I'm inching closer and closer to - wow, dare I say it - goal.
Congrats Robin on the loss...you are my idol!!!
I'm only down one pound this week, but at least it's a pound in the right direction. This next week is going to be quite a challenge because I'm using some vacation days and will have a lot more free time on my hands. Usually that means all the ice cream I can get my hands on, but I've filled the fridge with lots of fruit and I plan to stay active. Hopefully, I will have good news to report next week.
Congratulations Robin!!! Way to go, that is so great that you are a few pounds away from goal, your success makes it seem possible for all of us. Thank you !!

I'm new here. I posted my intro thread yesterday, but I'll go ahead and say now that I'm Kim, I'm 32 and I'm starting over again...again. But I'll do it this time.
The beginning weight that I put in yesterday was my weight last week. Today I'm down 1.2 pounds. So it's a tiny step in the right direction.
Congratulations to all of you who have lost sooo much. It must be a wonderful feeling!!
Congrats to all!! Its an inspiring way to start a monday Robin - you are truly an inspiration!! I hope you have an incredible "treat" planned for yourself when you get there!
I'm down 1.8 this week, and only 3.6 lbs away from where I quit last time around. That will be a big hurdle for me, and I'm looking forward to getting over it!
I didn't weigh in at my WW meeting last week because of the Memorial Day holiday, so I'm just saying that I've had a 5.2 pound loss these past two weeks. I was really surprised because a) I didn't have a meeting, b) I was sick most of those two weeks with wicked vertigo and I was exhausted much of the time, so I didn't exercise. c) Since I was sick, I really didn't care that much about what I ate. I guess since I didn't have much of an appetite I didn't eat as much as I thought. But I am so psyched. Since I've been so "bad" these past two weeks, I went in ready to start crying because I'd gained back all my previous ten pound loss.
I finally got my scale in the mail today. I have no idea how much I weighed when I started on the 20th of May (2 weeks ago), but I weighed 220 at my last physical last July and I know I've gained weight since then because my clothes were getting tight.
Anyway, I got my scale and weighed myself and I'm down to 209.8 and 36.0% body fat, so I lost at least 10 pounds in the last two weeks. That's probably water weight, but I'll take it.
I'm trying to make sure I have a diet and workout plan I can fit into my regular life (I read that the guy who won the Biggest Loser is currently heavier than when he started, because he was unable to maintain the workout plan they did on the show when he was back in regular life).
I am really muscular, and I'm hoping that I can lose the fat while maintaining my muscle (In the pre-baby days, I was bench-pressing 185).
