TGIF!!!!!! and I mean that in every bit of the sense....I believe this has been the loooongest week of my life......I did weigh this morning...and...I'm back down to 196!!!:carrot: I was really glad,so now I don't have to call my ticker a big fat liar everytime I get on here!!lol!! so it's official....11 lbs to lose by Christmas....I' gonna try for atleast 195 next week...194 would be even more awesome...but I don't want to disappoint myself.....11 lbs sounds so easy to my ears,but 1 lb is so hard to lose...and I have to say 196 is the lightest I've been since I started my weightloss journey,I can't seem to get past it,but I will next week!!!
GoGirl & fld~ it will come off if there is anything I've learned on my weight loss journey,it's patience,and a whole boatload of it!!LOL the scale will go in your favor,you'll see!!

Hi All!!
Long time no post ;)
Well... it's been interesting this week-- I was about 200 calories above my "goal", but I guess I'm dancing more in classes than I thought I was, because I'm DOWN! :) :carrot:

Lol-- I saw a thingie about wii Fit ages... (I'm 23) I used to do my weigh-ins and challenges in the middle of the afternoon or evening, and get 19, 20, and 21 occasionally... But lately, I've been doing them first thing in the morning, so I remember to weigh in, and I can do the rest of my exercises later that day if I have time: and I've been getting 24's consistently! My Mii doesn't seem too upset about 24.. but golly.. those 19s were nice.. lol :)

One day- I fell off the board (quite literally.. I didn't get hurt, though) and I got a 45!!!! :O

Alright!! Off to plan for a Dance Party tonight!
Good job on keeping up the hard work, everyone!!!

gogirl -I think it's just habit it use to be to check the temp but now I cant stop :) I guess I should be happy my kids eat pretty healthy . But I'm happy to announce 1 more pound down so I guess I'm getting there slowlly .

I weigh in tomorrow and have had the hubby home for three days. Tonight is a big barbecue/ birthday party. I'm going to work really hard not to overeat and try to bring a bottle of water with me. Ugh!

I'll check in tomorrow and give you all my weight update.

Ugh! Guys, I maintained. No loss and this is only my second week. I guess that means I need to work a whole lot harder this week to pick up the pace. I'm not letting this get me down. A maintain is better than a gain to be sure.

How did everyone else do??

I'd like to join the Christmas challenge. I want to shoot for 15 lbs. lost by then, down to 164. I'm excited just to type that number in. :goodluck:

I'm down :) (weight wise- not emotionally!!) 2lbs this week-- I'm excited! I'm at 167.8 ;) Dunno if the weight is going to keep coming off this fast, but I'm happy with it so far!

How about everyone else? What are your designated weigh-in days?

Happy Monday! Sounds like everyone is doing well. The lbs are coming off, that's great!

Welcome Katie. What kind of plan are you doing? We have 58 days to go :tree: so I think your goal sounds attainable.

I had a crazy busy weekend and I have to say I'm really glad it's Monday and I can get back to my own routine. I was down 1 on Sunday, finally! (I can't change my ticker yet though because I'm actually at 146 right now. I refused to move it when I went up by 2. When I hit a lower weight I don't like to move it back up after that.)
I really feel like I should be down another lb anytime. I just have to stick with it and KNOW that this will happen! I get so impatient...I guess the important thing is that I'm only making the changes I can live with long term. So that makes for slower weight loss I guess. But, I'll take what ever I can get, no complaints.

I really am trying to envision the holidays and how I want to feel and look. I'm thinking about some of the tops that are a little snug and how I really want to put those on by Christmas, and how on New Years day I want to weigh in and see a number that I'm content with. I would love to be down a pant size! That would really be great. I'm short with serious hips, so 5-10 lbs makes a big difference in my clothes. What kind of things are you all looking forward to reguarding your weight loss?

weegreenlassie- I do my official weigh in on Tuesdays. But, if I hit a lower weight on any other day then I count that too. So, Tuesday and anyday that's a loss day. I don't even really count the gain days because I feel like that will just discourage me. I just work to get back to where I was (like I'm doing now), and continue on. I don't handle failure well, Lol!

:hohoho:

Hi All!! Welcome Katie!!Good to have ya!!
Well I posted my weightloss Friday,and I did good over the weekend,But,I am starved to death today for some reason..so I'm gonna have myself a nice meal tonight with DH,he is leaving for Florida AGAIN tomorrow and will be lucky if he's back by Halloween,so I'll make up for the cheating while he's gone.....
Thinner~ you're doin great,atleast you didn't gain!!!
well I gotta go, time for DH.......................

My goal is to reach my goal by Christmas. I have about 10lbs to go so it should be completely in reach. That is the best Christmas gift I can truely give myself. Once I reach my goal weight of 160lbs I'll set another one towards toning up.

I want to lose at least fifteen pounds before Christmas... here's hopin' I can do it! Actually, I know I can (need to keep a positive attitude).

I'm with ya'... but 15 instead!

I'd like to loose 15 pounds by Christmas!
I just need to get to the gym I keep putting it off.

In my first thread I said I want to be under 200lbs by Christmas and that I'd need to lose 22lbs to do that. Well, I must have been having a ditzy moment because I only needed to lose 17.4lbs...222 was my staring weight, oops! :dizzy:

Anyway, only 14.7lbs to go now...well, that's what it was last time I checked a week or two ago. I'm not weighing myself until Friday morning now because after last week I just don't want to know ;)

Hi! I've been following your guys' posts and this seems like a good time for me to "man up" (girl up? hmmm) and set a goal - 20 lbs by Christmas! Starting tomorrow I'll start charting my minutes exercised and keeping my calorie count a little lower. Thank you all for posting! I can definitely use the support ;)
