fatness- Awesome! Almostr onederland. That must be so exciting!
I feel so stuck right now. I know its only been like a week. But I am at 179.6 again. So basically I have bounced around 180 mark. I know I should be excited because I am no longer bouncing around the 185 mark. But I still have 4-5 lbs to lose to make the 10 lbs. I don't know if I should just be patient and give up on the 10lbs goal, or if I should do something to jumpstart the weight loss? I'm happy losing 5 lbs in a month. But I lost most of it in like 1 1/2 weeks! I just think its too soon to already be hitting a stall. Should I try to up the cardio? I haven't had a perfect week. In reality the few nights of late night eating could be what's stalled me up.
Anyways, sorry for the spewing of concerns here. I know I have no right to complain. And like I said, its not like I am doing perfectly eating wise and still not losing any weight.
What has worked to jump start you ladies in the past? Should I focus on diet? Do extra exercise? Or just chill out and not be so concerned about missing the 10 lb goal.
SW 153.8 CW 149.8
HW 152-154 (want to maintain at the very least)
GW 149.8 (any loss would thrill me)
Another gain, but still down from yesterday (151.4!). It is scary how quickly the lbs can come back on after a week or so of eating like crap! The anticipation of Thanksgiving has had the opposite effect that I thought it would: I thought it would make me buckle down and motivate me to work harder to offset the indulgence BUT INSTEAD it has basically had the exact opposite effect! BOO TO ME!!!
wow, you are all doing amazing! I am still at my start weight of 212. I did bounce up to 217 there one evening. Bad choices, my 'tom' and a homebound hubby should not be an excuse but I suppose I am not doing well on this accountability. So here is the breakdown: sw212 cw212 gw209. Now how many daysdoI have? lol I need a miracle, or better resolve.
I started this challenge weighing 208 pounds and as of today The scale says I am 198. I lost my 10 pounds! When they say walk your weight lost away; they should say run your weight away! Running works and even though I only did 25mins of it.. It helped me lose these pounds! You know what's funny ladies??? I had some large arbys fries and I just knew I gained weight! Maybe it's okay to eat bad for one day??? Just maybe!
Keep up the good work ladies!
I feel like I will make that 190 by dec31st now! Lol...
8 more pounds to go!

Reason: Typo
I joined this site a while ago but literally just now got my stuff together enough to using it (after a 15 lb weight gain), I know I'm starting this late but I can try to do five before December! That would be cool
Unless a miracle happens over THANKSGIVING weekend, I doubt I will make this goal. However, I have been feeling really proud of myself. My weight loss has slowed in the last 5-6 weeks, which is to be expected, since I am approaching a more normal weight now. But I have kept at it, despite not seeing the huge results of before.
I read here somewhere, actually, that people who are losing weight take for granted that even a very small loss, like 0.2 for the week, is still more than most people see. Because even though plenty of people say they want to lose weight, few actually do. So for me, as long as I'm consistently going down, I will be happy and grateful.
