A New Goal
 

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 20th - 166.6 lbs :mad:

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 :yikes:

August 22nd - 166.4

August 29th - 165.2

Jess i've just looked at your pics and :yikes: WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
You should be so proud of yourself :bravo: 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 :lucky:

Thanks Cat. You know that saying "pictures don't lie." Well that's a bunch of crap :lol: 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 :cb:

Congratulations Jess :cp: I will have to weigh-in tomorrow :s: 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 :dizzy:
they changed so many times yesterday that i was in shock :lol: and i weighed 3lbs less later in the day than i did in the morning :shrug: 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 :cp: 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 :D I'm hoping to be posting some great "after" ones like Jess did :cp:

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

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

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 :yikes: what have i said? :lol: i'm sure that that will make a big difference...and i'm going to exercise too :D i have'nt done any since Wednesday..Bad Cat :o

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!! :doh: I've been really good for 4 days and i have'nt lost a pound :mad: i can only assume its because i've been inactive because of my broken toe :rolleyes: 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 :hyper: i got on the scale this morning and i just could'nt get the same reading twice :rolleyes: and it varies by 3lbs!! I don't want to buy another scale they upset me :lol: 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 :D

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 :D

Barb - :cp: Yeahhhhhh you are doing great!
