Hey, is it too late to join in... I have been away from my computer for awhile. I want to loss 10 lbs. I love challenges.

 

[Steve's Wife]

Tuesday is Tops night for me so I finally have my figure for the first week: a disappointing .5 of a pound! That will teach me to exercise. Actually, I've lost several inches this week, so it's not as bad as all that. I'll do better next week.

I had a very bad day yesterday. Checkers for lunch and McDonalds for dinner. DH and I split a ten piece nugget meal. On top of that I did not exercise. I feel terrible.

 

[ohMom]

i finally WI today -- i'm at -2/3 -- I had put a couple back on after being sick when this challenge started. that's ok -- i have 5 lbs to go and then maintain. But I'm going to Vegas for 4 days leaving Sat -- so i'll have to give a status after then

Check the update at the beginning of the thread.

Ohmom, the last few, I swear, are always the hardest to lose, and the ones that make so many give up the journey. Keep going, and you'll get there before too long!

Kimickey, we all have those days, just try to turn it around before it gets too far away from you.

Steve's Wife, .5 lost is ALWAYS better than .5 gained.

From Weight Watchers Magazine, May/June 2004:
Weighty Risks: While proof of a weight and breast-cancer link has been building in recent years, new research from the American Cancer Society offers the most convincing evidence so far: Women who had gained 20 to 30 pounds after high school were 40 percent more likely to get breast cancer than women who had kept the weight off. For those who had gained more than 70 pounds, the risk doubled. Nip small gains before they spiral.

I don't have an *official* weigh-day, so I'll apologize now for posting at odd times....

but....

I'm down .4 from where I started, for a .4/5 total. It may not be much, but every bit helps!

 

[LAinSEA]

I was down 2 lbs on Saturday, May 15th, which is halfway to my goal of 4 lbs total. Maybe I should up my goal? or just be really pleased to get 2 more gone?

(I had been completely stalled out for 2 whole months and now I've lost 6 in 3 weeks!.)

Hello!!


When I first posted to this thread I put myself down for a 17 lbs loss. I thought the challenge was starting from the day I posted (I did not realize the challenge started on May 9th) So I hope it's ok to put in my loss for last week and this week. Last week 1.5 and this week .5


So I would be at 2/17

 

[TIGGERSMOM]

Back from Doctors office - down 3 lbs.

I am kinda bummed thought it was more but hey at least it is down instead of up.

So 3/33 - only 30 to go.

 

[disneygoof]

We've got our first challenger in the red zone!

Congrats, LAinSea! Up your challenge if you like, but enjoy that red name for a couple days!

I, myself, am upping my exercise and water to boost my loss before I weigh in on Sunday! Who's joining me?

Have a magical day.

Sorry I haven't posted sooner. This week has been very hectic. I stayed the same this week. So I'm 0/6.

I'm 4/14 folks, which brings me to my first goal of healthy BMI! I'm finally in a "normal" weight range.

Have a magical day!

 

[tmfranlk]

Doing good so far, I'm down 5 from last Sunday (lost the couple I had gained and a few more!). That makes me 7/13. This is going so much better than I thought. Now I just have to work on keeping it up.
