I'm going to give this one a go!I need to set some mini goals and i think this one is a good start.
|
I hate when I go to the Dr. and the Dr. scale says the same as my home scale. I always hoped my scale was wrong

My scale said 176 this morning but I doubt I'll see that weight again tomorrow. I hate those weird losses almost as much as the gains!
redballoon, the photo is just some generic avatar I found. At the time, I had 3 cats so it seemed appropriate. I have since rescued a stray from my yard, the cutest little black cat in the whole world! If I weren't such a techno-phobe, I'd make her my avatar. Maybe I can find a ten-year-old to show me how to do that. SW 182 CW 176/177 GW not going to happen |
Hi all! My computer crashed yesterday and it would NOT work. I was in a near panic as I really need the computer for so much of my freelance work. I brought it to a computer-savvy friend and it is now working but I am way behind and tired. Sunday evening here and I want to call it a day. Hope to catch up soon.
Steph, if you want, I could reduce your photo for you so it would fit as an avatar.... |
Weighing in:
SW: 167 CW: 158 GW: 157 Nearly reached goal. I hope to lose 2 more lbs to make up for last month :-) |

I had a 'bad' diet weekend. I had a blast though! Back on track today. I hope I didn't do to much damage the last 2 days. SW: 182 GW: 172 CW: 180 Oh my period is also starting this week. Maybe I'll flush a bunch of water weight before the 30th! Here's to hoping! lol |
Sticking to my calorie limit is getting easier and easier every day and I am finding my new workout regime seems to be working. Went for a 7 mile walk and swam today... sore but in a good way!
|
SW: 288
CW: 278 GW: 278 I did it! Now to atleast stay here or lose, but not gain till next month. And attempt this again! |
A slight change.....
Latest below....making goal is going to be tough I think, unless I see a dramatic drop.... SW: 72 kg CW: 71.2 kg GW for Dec. 1: 69.7 kg (69.6 on my scale since it doesn't register 0.7 kg.) This is, translated into pounds... SW: 158.4 lb CW: 156.6 lb GW: 153.12 lb |
Way to go, PhantomPanda, Annalena and those who have reached/nearing their GW!!!
Yay, Redballoon- Scale is finally moving for you! :) Howellbe- 7 mile walk and swim? Nice!!! My weight was up but I suspect it was due to the sodium in the cauliflower soup I made last night with chicken broth soo not worrying about it too much and am drinking a lot of water to try to counteract that. Hope everyone was (mostly) OP this weekend! |
amandie, yes it is, but it is ridiculously slow for some reason. Really, when I look at the numbers and think it's only like 2 lbs, it is even more discouraging. But, heh, that's just the way it is I guess..... :(
|
What a minute!! I just realized I miscalculated. I ONLY started this challenge on the 14th and weight loss is supposed to be ONE kg every two weeks, not TWO. I was confusing the pace with pounds. So, changing things around means I am within reach of the goal....welll, maybe.... :^:
SW: 72 kg CW: 71.2 kg GW for Dec. 1: 70 kg This is, translated into pounds... SW: 158.4 lb CW: 156.6 lb GW: 154 lb Ok, that makes me feel better.... :) |
Checking in!
I'm still at 211. I stayed OP through my 2nd Thanksgiving of the year and didnt even gain an oz overnight, I actually dropped .2! YEY! I now have faith that I can keep going, like I planned, even on the actual day. I just have to remember to get my water in and I'm GOOD! I'm down 7lbs total, and reeeallly close to that being 8. Here's to another lb today!! :D |
Sounds like most people are doing incredibly well - keep up the great work!
As for me, not so much. :lol: I have to admit that my resolve has faltered a little over the past week - some off plan days, but nothing horrible. REally eating at more of a maintenance level, but with some poor choices... quite a bit of wine on the weekend as we went away to a cabin at the beach for the weekend with some friends. So this last 10 days I'm going to bust my a** and see if I can squeeze in 2 or 3 more before the end of the month! SW: 259 CW: 256 (still up one from my low of a week or more ago...) GW: 249 |

My update weigh is tomorrow, but I saw 174.0 on the scale this morning!!! Let's hope I can keep it there!!! |
SW: 142.8
CW: 138.8 GW: 132.8 Only -4lbs down and now its TOM so I doubt the scale will show anything for the rest of the week now. Oh well, time to work my butt off and see if I can manage a huge drop after TOM is over. On the other hand YAY! I FINALLY BROKE THE 140'S! |
Ahh weigh in tomorrow! Trying not to be nervous!!

Time for my week three update: 11/1/11: 184.0 11/8/11: 180.2 (down 3.8 pounds) 11/15/11: 178.2 (down another 2 for a total of 5.8 lost) 11/22/11: 174.6 (down another 3.6 for a total of 9.4 lost) 11/29/11: 12/1/11: Goal weight: 174.0 |
Its hard o be excited by a one pound loss when the week before you had a 3lb loss. Sigh.
SW:216 GW:206 CW:210.25 |
Hi all! I am super excited to check in and say that I had a scale swoosh this morning and I weighed in at 243! Which means I hit my ten pound goal today! :) I have to fly to work now, but I will pop in later. Congrats to all who are doing so well! We will have to start a December challenge soon!
Sw:253 Cw/Gw(12/1):243 :) |
YEY!!! Congrats to all that are making it!!
I'm at 8lbs right now, but TOM is over today (or it should be, i took my first "green pill" in my next pack on schedule, so this holding-water-weight-pattern will be over!)!!!!! I'm on my water today, hopefully I'll pee a LOT tomorrow and keep going till I'm at 10! It's only the 22nd, I know I can make it! And I can't WAIT for the December thread!! We can drop another 10 next month!! :carrot: :D |
I'm still in the game!
SW: 182 GW: 172 CW: 174!! And I still feel bloated from my period. |
Two hundred grams down!! I don't know. I need another kilogram loss to make goal in a week. But it is possible if I am vigilant. Problem is there are a lot of parties this coming week! :faint:
SW: 72 kg CW: 71.0 kg GW for 1st of December: 70 kg This is, translated into pounds... SW: 158.4 lb CW: 156.2 lb GW: 154 lb |
I'm at 177 today, 5 pounds down. I'm still hoping to hit 175 by the 30th.
Congrats to everyone who's doing so well. And for the rest of us, hang in there! |
TOM is OVER!!! (sucka!! lol) And I'm down another lb, so I'm at 9lbs lost...
THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING. Yes, I said it.... AAAAHHHHMAZING! I haven't lost this fast since my first several weeks! I'm on plan every day now and its getting easier, thank God, lol. Keep going, everyone! Even if you only lose a single pound, its one LESS THAN YOU HAD TO LOSE BEFORE! Keep going, don't stop now. :) We can do this!! |
SW: 182
GW: 172 CW: 170 !! I'm not sure if I really believe it. I drank a bit last night, so I think I'm dehydrated. I don't feel hungover though. I'm in shock! |
Congratulations everyone on your AMAZING losses - I'm so jealous! :lol: (Just kidding)! :p
I am still getting back to a previous low of 10 days ago, this seems to be a pattern for me, I think. Sure is frustrating though... (although I did have a few off-plan days in there, so I can't be TOO frustrated!). Anyhow, this is the last week before my TOM so in the past 2 months that I've restarted my weight loss journey, this has been a good week for losses. I'm hoping to get 2 or 3 more before Dec. 1! SW: 259 CW: 256 GW: 249 |
OH and I forgot to mention... I got my VERY FIRST COMPLIMENT on my weight loss today!!! A casual friend that I haven't seen in about 6 weeks saw me at the mall, and right away asked if I'd been losing weight - she said she could really notice it... YAY!! :D
|
No, no! howtolossweight! Not "almost" the first. We have SEVEN whole days to make or break it!! We're only turning into the stretch! Haul out the whip!!
|
I am just so discouraged. My weight is up and it shouldn'T be. It really, really shouldn't be. I had stayed away from the scale because I thought just by being good and not overeating the results would come. But, this morning when I weighed myself the weight was up 600 grams from the last weighing and I just don't know why. I really don't know why. And I look horrible too. There is probably no way the weight will go down to what I want by next week and that is just so incredibly discouraging. I feel cursed, like nothing I want comes my way no matter what I do. And so, what's the point? Really, what's the point?
Sorry, I just had to say this because I feel so bad and I know that if I don't say it I will surely do a reversal of everything I was doing in good faith that it would work and hasn't. Maybe by saying it here I can prevent that from, happening. It's just not right. Really not right. How can my body hold onto weight like this? |
I stayed on plan for Thanksgiving. I'm so proud of myself. My weight has come back up from my last weigh in though. I think that loss was water weight, I was pretty darn dehydrated.
SW: 182 GW: 172 CW: 175 I don't know if I can lose 3lbs in 4 days. |
1 more lb to hit my goal. Keeping my fingers crossed. This month has been a rough one for me :(.
SW: 219.5 CW: 210.5 GW: 209.5 |
Just checking in:
SW: 167.1 GW: 157.1 CW: 161.8 Fingers crossed I lose a few more pounds before Dec! |
Back up today. I'm blaming water and I think I'm a bit constipated. If I don't feel better by tomorrow I'll take some laxatives. I had some Fiber One cereal this morning. I do love that stuff!
SW: 182 CW: 179 GW: 172 |
Hey! where did everyone go???? :dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:
It's time to get out of the post Turkey day slump and push towards December 1st!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!! :dancer::dancer::dancer::dancer::dancer: Haha! No, but seriously this was a difficult month for a lot of us I think. And heck if we can make it through November with at least SOME progress, well heck........easy months like March will be simple!!! My daughter's birthday was Tuesday....so I had cake and ice cream......the next day I got into a mini cake binge. Duh, who couldn't predict that? The next day was Thanksgiving. I mean, really?? Anyway......I am at 243 now which is one pound up from the beginning of the week. For all of the off plan shenanigans I pulled, I'll take the one pound. I have been to the gym twice since TG already, so hopefully that pound will go away and take a friend or two with it by Thursday!! Pockets: Some of that Fiber One stuff is good. I like the FO cereal that says something about 80 calories on the box. I almost always have an "oats and chocolate" FO bar for breakfast (with coffee of course.) It seems to fill me up and it's fast and portable in the morning which I need. Kirsten: Congrats on the compliments. They feel so good, right! :) Well, I hope everyone is hanging in there!!! Liz |
Love the saying onederland... I just hit that number last Tues. Feels good :)
|
My scale said 174 today, which would mean 8 pounds for the month. Yay! I celebrated by eating too many of the cinnamon chip cookies I made (they taste sooo good right out of the oven).
SW: 182 CW: 174 GW: 172, but I said I'd be happy with 175 - and I am! |
