Doing well this week, I started a week earlier and set my goal at 8lbs, but I'm still including my first week or else it's depressing.

start weight- 148
week 1 - 146
week 2 - 145
week 3 - 144
week 4 - ?
week 5 - ?
Going for 140 at the end of this, don't think 138 can happen.

How is everyone else coping?

Dana - 1lb a week isn't depressing! We're pretty much the same weight and I'm fairly sure I'm going to have a 2lb gain this week :( I know I'll never get to the 10lb loss but I'm definitely hoping for 5lb.

I've had no control over my eating lately, so haven't been coping well at all, but I'm feeling really good this morning and hoping it's going to kick me into a really good on-plan spell!

Starting average weight: 189
June 1: 190.9
June 8: 190.5 (TOM)
June 15 188.3
June 22:
June 28:
End average weight:
Goal Weight: 179

I've been sick this week so I haven't been exercising but I've been eating less too. I'll still happily take any little loss. :D

Well, not happy with my update, but I know it's all water. I've been eating right and exercising regularly. I'm up a pound from a week ago (before TTOM) and I haven't had the water weight loss from after TTOM yet. Every nit my ankles are cankles, so hopefully, I'll see a bigger drop soon. Unfortunately, probably not next week either as I tend to gain around ovulation and by then it will be close to ovulation.

At least I know there is nothing I'm doing "wrong". Sometimes the scale just isn't a good reflection of what's going on.

6/1/11: 205.4
6/8/11: 203.2 (-2.2)
6/15/11: 202.6 (-.4 - TTOM and tons of water weight)

Goal weight by 7/01/11: 195.0

May I join late?
 

Hi y'all!

I'm late to the thread (just found it today). But I did actually start on Jume 1 with the Mediterraean food plan. I read the New Sonoma Diet book and found it motivating, but I wanted more fruit than it allows on Wave One.

I was 144 on June 1 when I began.

Today (June 15) I am 138 (that's in the morning, before drinking a sip, and in the buff :))

I'd love to be at 134 by July 1. It's not very realistic, but it's a goal.

Rennie - have you tried the P90X yet? How'd it go?

Tabbycat - Welcome, glad you joined us!

Well, I started counting calories on 6/6 and have been watching what I eat to stay under 1200 calories. Now, that's not to say I haven't had the occasional Hershey's miniature (or two or three), but I've stayed on plan and only went over by 63 calories one day. And there are days I dream of Little Debbie's. :T

Met with my health adviser today - lost 9 pounds in two weeks! Yay! He wasn't happy with some of my food choices and says I'm still eating too many "white" carbs. Yeah yeah yeah, like I haven't heard that before.

Starting 6/2 : 232
6/8: 231 (on home scale, since replaced with a digital mac daddy one)
6/15: 223


Goal 1: 222 by July 1
Goal 2: 210 by August 23 (Vegas dress to arrive then)
Goal 3: <200 by Sept 17

Mmmm white carbs, I miss those.

Milesaway- your right, I should be happy with my lb a week, slow and steady, these last 10 lbs have been so hard to get off, it's just frustrating.

Melissa - Hang in there, I'm sure you'll get your drop soon and you will hit onderland! I avoid the scale for four days before and after TOM.

Donna - Kicking butt! Way to go!

I am sitting here, ready to drink another crystal light in order not to do my night binge. I think I'll make it tonight, this will be three nights in a row without night time snacking, that is epic for me.

Hi everyone, today marks the 2nd half of the month which simply means we've a whole 2weeks to eat and exercise right to keep the pounds off (that's not to say we will stop being healthy from June 30th!)

For those of us finding it difficult to move the scale's pin to the left, hang in there and push harder. If you eating right and not losing weight, imagine how much weight you'd have gained if you were not on plan! So let this encourage you.

For those of us who are dropping the weights, let's keep it up, tomorrow is another day, don't let the success of today distract you.

For the new comers, you're welcome. Get right in and let's do it together.

Remember, our target is 10pounds but what we actually want is to shed the weight so don't give up even though it looks like you won't make the target.

Cheers y'all.

So I've not lost anything this week, but I've also not gained, which is a relief to me, as I've not been on plan at all. I just can't believe how easy it is for me to eat so much! Trying to have a bit more control for a week before I head to 5 days of festival - where I shan't track a single calorie so fingers crossed all the walking around and dancing makes up for it!

Start Weight 06/01 - 143
06/08 - 142
06/15 - 142
06/22
06/29
and 2 extra days to get to GW 07/01 133!

I think the water drinking and night strolls is really working for me. This week, i really made efforts to stay on plan, i hope i can keep it up.

I have been away for a week, I am really scared of the scales now!! I was doing so well! I will weigh in Thursday and see...

Just joining....but I keep a daily spreadsheet of my weight (daily weigher). Not sure I can make it to 10 lbs, but I'll try and get as close as possible!!

5/31 - 171.20

6/01 - 170.6 (-0.6)
6/07 - 169.6 (-1.0)
6/14 - 169.0 (0.6)

Boy, I better start losing some of this pre-ovulation water weight gain before my next weigh-in or I'll be upset! I have extremely cyclical weight loss, but this month has been extreme. I "think" coming off blood pressure medicine might have thrown me off a bit too, but it's GOOD to come off the meds! They didn't have an diuretic with them, but my complete stall out coincided with dropping that medicine.

I'm in a similar situation. I was on meds last week and just have tons and tons of water retention. Also, I wouldn't be surprise if my TOM shows up next week so I'm thinking the scale isn't going to be too friendly from now until the end of July despite my best efforts! :(
