9 out of 30 pounds, 21 to go.

Now that I'm finally not surfing the crimson wave, I expect a good loss this week. Still on track.

Ok so I know I already weighed in this week but im just excited!
I weighed in at the gym today and was

GW: 210

I know it's only 3lbs, but seeing as how I've been doing aweful up to this point I'm pretty happy!

Thought I'd better copy/paste/update on my last post from the previous thread before I forget! And I just weighed this morning with a loss, so why not?!

Last check-in: (25 October): 163.1pounds/74kg
CW (29 October): 162.2pounds/73.6kg
GW (25 December!): 146.5/66.5kg

I'm still so unsure whether my goal is possible, but I'm not going to adjust it - it's a goal, right? I've set a goal to aim for, and not making that goal doesn't mean I've failed - I think I'm not doing too badly already!

you can totally do it rainbowstripe! its only what 15lbs? :D
Go for gold, lol.

I'm frustrated as ****. Sorry, but I really just want to scream. I exercise EVERY day w/o fail and count EVERY dang calorie...even cough drops! (average about 1200 a day) Something's not working. And I'm not gaining muscle because I don't feel any difference in my clothes. What's the problem? What am I doing wrong??? Ugh!

Maybe you are not eating enough calories, If you're exercising alot, your body might be needing more calories than you are eating, and your metabolism might have staled. Just a thought, something you could try.

Hi everyone!
My name is Ashley and I'm new. I thought I would just jump in on this post. :D

30 lbs by Christmas!
I plan to work out for 3 days each week and restrict calories. Hopefully it works!

It's good to know that even though it was a crazy week (+TOM), I pretty much maintained (was all over the scale last week) but now that it's a new week, I'm ready to get back on track (a woosh would be nice too).

Marielenrdz,

I feel the same way you feel too but i think the main thing is not to be discouraged, if you stay on plan, with time, the weight will start coming off again. Hang in there

Looking good ladies :)

Ok, I blame this on the fact that it was my little boy's birthday last night and we went out to eat (tons of sodium and I didn't make the best choice) plus the fact that TOM came yesterday and I was already super bloated. Ugh, it's so depressing to think that you can undo three weeks of work in one night! Oh well, I'm right back on track today and I hope to be back where I was by Saturday and then down a bit more by my next official WI day (Wednesday), so I refuse to change my ticker until then.

Thanks for letting me vent ladies, you are all doing awesome! :)

Ashlee! We've been missing you over in the keeping accountable thread in 20somethings!

May as well check in while I'm here!

rainbow! You are doing so great! I know I haven't been over there in a while but I've def missed you ladies, I am going to stop in now! :D

It's been a while since I have posted. Life has been very busy lately.

SW: 80.4kg (177 pounds)
CW: 74.3kg (163.8 pounds)
GW: 66kg (147 pounds)

I'm almost halfway there. Not sure if I will make it to 30 pounds by Xmas. But here's hoping. :ebike:

Hi! I just found 3fatchicks.com and have been reading old threads like crazy! This site has given me the motivation to set an actual goal weight, vs. my previous attitude of losing "some" weight. I feel much more in control and prepared now with a goal. We've been doing a 12 week weight loss challenge at work with the final weigh in on Dec. 9th. I had recently been hoping to lose 30 lbs by that date, but I've only lost 18 by now with only 5 weeks to go. It's doable, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't make it. However, I think 12 lbs in 7 weeks is totally possible, so I thought I'd join your thread!

Starting weight Sept. 16th: 177.2 lbs
Current weight November 4th: 159.2 lbs
Goal weight December 9th: 147.2 lbs
But if not, I will still celebrate if down by December 25th!

Good luck :)

You're right 12lbs is totally doable

Hello Everyone! I haven't posted since the first thread. Things have been a bit hectic since DH found a job out of state during the week and is only home on weekends. The good news is I got past my 268 where I was stalled for weeks.

Here are my numbers now:
SW: 268
CW: 258.5:carrot:
GW: 238

I know I have 20 lbs still to go, but I've been stuck in the 260's for so long, I am thrilled to be closer to being under 250 which I haven't seen since 2001.

Have a great week everyone!

Well it's Monday here and I seem to recall there was a Monday weigh in at some point for this challenge haha...and even though I posted a few days ago, I'm posting now because it's Monday. And I'll try not to post again til next Monday hehe! Hope everyone is doing well!

I have a 2 part theory on this week. The previous week, I didn't lose anything so the week after TOM + some new tea that did not agree with my stomach = this week's loss. I'm happy but it shouldn't happen quite like this.

*Luddy*
But even if you only loose .2 more lbs, you will still techincally make it to goal :D you did awesome! And there is still over a month to go!

MellyWag-I'm thrilled goal weight is so close! I can't believe it. It just felt a bit like cheating this week with getting sick from that tea but I guess I should accept it as it comes!


Feel better! Being sick sucks. :getwell:

I might actually be able to make my goal! 9.2 lbs to go in 7 weeks means I would need to lose apprx 1.3 lbs/week. Not sure if I'll make it, but I'm going to try! :)

SW: 177.2 lbs

I worked really hard at the gym this week and ate really well, but I did not feel like I lost any weight at all. I was really stoked to see that I lost 2.6 lbs this week, especially after feeling so down about it last night. Now, I really feel like I will make goal!

Good for you! Less than 10lbs to go :twirly:

Great job MaryOjo! 3 lbs this week is awesome.

stargzr - I just joined in a couple of weeks ago too. It's great to have this extra motivation. Christmas isn't that far away, but no matter what you lose by then I'm sure you'll look and feel great!

I don't have a scale, we weigh in every thursday morning at work so I'll update then. Our weight loss challenge is over in 4 weeks, I guess I'll spend the money that I really don't want to then and buy a scale.

Had I checked in yesterday, I'd be posting a goal. I wish I was posting a loss. I was lower at the end of last week and then my weekend was a sodium extravaganza! Oh well...will be posting a loss next week for sure!

Luddy - Great job this week!

rainbowstripe - I know what you mean with the sodium. My sister & brother in law were in town so I went to lunch with my family on Sunday. I thought I was doing good at Huhot as my entire meal was about 300 calories, until I realized how much sodium I consumed! No wonder it was so delicious. Makes me glad I weigh in on Thursdays...

Thanks Paloma!

Here is yesterday's weigh in.
