Keep up the good work!

Time for an update Peeps! I'm down 2.4!

11/1 149.8
11/8 147.4 (-2.4)
12/1 139.8

Yes! When I first started I lost 8lb the first 4 weeks...then the next 3 weeks nothing...nada, zero, zip, zilch! But, despite my frustration I stuck with it. Then on the 8th week I lost 4 more.

Just keep doing what you're doing...it'll happen!

Hi everyone
 

Hi :carrot: I'm so happy I found this forum I'm new here and well ready to make changes and take the challenge to lose weight.. By Dicember I want to be 10 pounds less :) ... By the way yesterday I ordered African mango, has anyone tried it before??? I really need something to curve my hunger :barf:, wish everyone good luck and we can do it!!!!! Lots love Cheers!!!

CW : 160 lb
Goal: 117 lb
43 lb to go

So far doing pretty good, though a lot of the loss was water weight from bad Halloween eating I had to lose a second time. Feeling good though and every once in a while I catch a look of myself in a mirror and do a double take- I think its still subtle changes but I'm starting to be able to tell!

Bahaha!!
1 week into challenge weigh in was this morning.
SW: 216

Take THAT, you stupid plateau!
So maybe a 1.5 lb loss in a week isn't all that great for trying to lose 10lbs in a month, but its darn good for me! Esp as of late.
8.5lb to go for this month and 15.5 for my mini goal by new years. I can do this!!

Btw, does any one know how you get the little icon of the chick for a certain loss amount (like 40 for example)?

I'm down 2, from 182 to 180, but I feel like I'm hitting my first plateau so I doubt I'll lose 10 this month. I'm impatient to hit 175, which would be 50 total and would get me out of the "overweight" BMI. I keep telling myself it will happen if I just stick with the plan.

I think I'm going to stay in the 150s for months unless I start to exercise. -_- being goal-oriented is helpful but man... I feel so inefficient

Hi all! Looks like everyone is edging down! :) Wooo!

I have been stuck at 251 for days and days.....since I have been really good with my eating and rocking the gym (weights and 30 mins a day on the elliptical) I was starting to get frustrated. I weighed in at 250 even this morning though so I was glad to finally see scale movement. I also sort of laughed, because it was 250.0 and I soooooo want to see the 240's. I mean I am ONE stinkin' OUNCE from the 240's!! Ha! So, we shall see what the next few days bring!!! Happy weighins to all!

5.2lbs to go
 

I know I'm a little late but up for the challenge :D
started at 188.2 on the first of Nov and down to 183.4!!!

Happy loses everyone ;)

:dizzy:

That's amazing!! How in the world did you manage that?!

I'm not doing so well this month. I blame my cycles. I retain water really really bad all during my cycle. I can only trust my cycle day 6-8 weigh-ins. Last cycle, I was 194 on cycle day 1, then by cycle day 7 I was 182. Well today I am cycle day 19, ovulating (finally) and super bloated. I suppose I can still catch up the last week of the month! :)

Well after 10 days I finally got the monkey off my back and lost a darned pound! ;) It only took having a touch of the flu - oh well, at least it worked! But now I'm REALLY hoping that it's the start of bigger things or I'm not going to get anywhere near my goal this month!

SW: 259

I would love to be a part of this!!
 

Is there a system to losing the 10 lbs?

I'd be so stinkin' happy to drop 10 lbs!!!! I think I'd even go and buy myself a new pair of jeans! :carrot:

I'm up for the challenge though I'm starting late. :) Congrats to those who lost! Those who didn't or maintained- just keep pushing through, don't give up!

2 down, 8 to go!

Well my twelve days at the same weight have finally paid off - I lost 2 more this morning! My pattern is really starting to establish itself: lose quickly for 5 days or so, hold for 1 -2 weeks (with a gain of 1 or 2 and bouncing around), then a quick loss again over 5 days or so. Knowing that will certainly help push through the frustration on the next 12 days holding...

Hey! I thought I'd check in on my break. I am super annoyed with this plateau! I continue staying on plan, working out etc and yet I am just stuck at 250! Ugh. What annoys me most is that I am definitely not eating the calorie load it would take to become or maintain 250lbs. I just can't understand why I stalled out. Oh well, maybe tomorrow will be a big scale whoosh! :). I hope you are all having a great day! :)

I'm feeling the same way Startswimming... I've been bouncing around between 236 and 240 for two weeks now. I'm just going to keep on doing what I've been doing and trust that the scale will catch up eventually! Hope it does for you too!

I'm actually up 2 pounds, back where I started the month. And I haven't gone off plan or stopped exercising, so I guess this is my first plateau. It sucks. I was so hoping to make it out of "obese" this month!

I''m looking to lose weight also...I have co workers at my job who are following the 7 day diet plan book on amazon and have already dropped a few pounds..I'm going to start this monday nov 14th.....

Good luck everyone!

Ugh! The never ending plateau continues here! Going into the weekend like that is probably not good, but I guess we'll see what happens! I hope the rest of you are having better success!

Liz

holy ****...i shot up to 179 overnight. WHAT DID I DO??? hahaha, i hate my monthly.

The more the merrier, redballoon! Welcome to the challenge, and good luck with your 5 pounds, I know you can do it if you focus on your plan! ;)

Another one down today, probably the tail end of my whoosh, but I'm thrilled as yesterday afternoon I blew my plan and ended up the day 300 over with some poor choices. Maybe I'll pay for it tomorrow - we'll see... ;)

Holy cow!!! 180.6 :carrot: and that was right after I got out of the shower too. I'm reallyreally hoping it isn't a fluke or something because I was really sick with a hangover today. :crossed:

Weigh in is tomorrow. I am terrifed.

But why should I be? Its just a number. I know I am shrinking slowly and I just need to keep going. I can do this. Good or bad tomorrow morning I am making progress. The number is just one of many ways to measure ;)

72 kg! Me too! I've been on a woosh this week: 5 lbs less than last Sunday, finally breaking through the october plateau.

OK....peeking in because I am finally out of the 250's!!!! I weighed in at 249 this morning. Still just one pound in nearly a week, but mentally I really wanted to be under 250!! :)

I hope you are all having a great Sunday! :)

Those 10-pounds milestones are big psychologically, aren't they? I just broke 180, after bouncing between 180 and 182 for over a week. It's just a pound but it makes a big difference.

I won't make my goal for November but I'm happy to have moved off that particular plateau.

I don't think I'm going to make it this month but I'm going to try to come as close as possible. The past two weeks have sucked for me.
