I didn't post on my Jan. 23 weigh in because I was too ashamed. I weighed in at 219.1..a gain of like, .38 of a pound. IT was because I binged the night before..I braved the weigh in anyways..gotta take the bad with the good. BUT....
Jan. 30 weigh in 213.5.. (-5.6 pounds from my last weigh in where I showed a gain!!)
I lost 10.5 pounds in January..Valentines Challenge..whooowheee!
Sign me up! I only just started today so that gives me two weeks. I want to lose 4-5 pounds. ****..I just wanna get below 260~ OMG that number makes me want to hide my head in shame! :-( BUT I am woman hear me roar...um..oh darn now you know sorta how old I am!
I edited my original post also. I lost 3.25 lbs in January. Wish I could do that every month. It would add up by the end of the year.

You are SO right! I get so discouraged by small losses, turtling, etc. and the occasional gain of water weight..but you are reminding me of something very important. Over the course of a year..it will add up to something much larger. (and eventually smaller!)
I officially joined tonight. My last known weight to me was 264.75. Tonight I weighed in at 260.25. SO in my little mind, I have a net lost of 4.5 pounds I really like this group. Most of the women are around my age, leader is VERY organized and we get to sit at tables, not in little circle of chairs (I had shoulder problems, so being able to rest my arm on table is great) OMG Don't tell me I based my decision on having tables? Actually is great. MY friend in MB, whom I met in 3FC SEVEN YEARS AGO, when there were like um 350 members in the site, has her WW mtg. on Wednesday, so we meet up on MSN and compare notes. Plus my um..gentleman friend plays hockey on Wednesdays. ANYHOW sorry , blah blah ..WTG to all losers.
Magoo...I am glad you joined Tops... and to find a group you like.... they will offer lots of support. Everytime I whine about my life, I can always find someone who has it much worse than me, its so humbling....
We are torn between tables and sitting in a circle.. I am seriously thinking of moving the tables into a square like we used to... we were using just the tables and it was very hard to hear over the din of voices chattering . It doesnt help that I am hearing impaired ... My leader wants to step down, I wonder if I should try for leader.... I am currently serving as co-leader... my first year as an officer. I have enjoyed it very much. It helps me be accountable and attend the meetings every week, which I have done.....
Hope you have a positive experience in Tops... and 3FatChicks is great, I read other forums just to get ideas and see whats going on.... take care and have a g reat week.... India aka Barb
I had a bad week! I got dumped TWICE on Friday by guys I dated. One was a first date, the other was a situation that couldn't quite get off the ground on the right foot. Anyway, this is related to this post because yesterday, I made a handful of wrong choices, choices meant to pacify my badly bruised ego.
During this challenge, I've lost about 15 pounds, which is great, but this week I'm expecting to either stay the same, or possibly gain. Today I am planning to get right back on track, despite yesterday's divergence from the path.
Sorry about the man trouble.... I love your quote... very relavent right now, get right back on .... your very strong..........good luck in your journey this week.... Barb
