1.5lb off this week. So proud of myself, started 30 day shred too and really enjoying a super quick high intensity session every morning, really gets my day off to a great start. Have a great week people, can't wait to check in and see how y'all get on :)

1st: 159
7th: 157.5

Really hoping for 2lb this week, gonna have to dig pretty deep for that!

week 3 and its going well
current weight 12st 5lb
goal weight 12st dead

Starting weight --- 80.6 kg or 177.69 lbs

July 30th -- 12st 5
August 6th -- 12.1 ( I have five up processed sugar in all its forms so i think this is mostly due to that rather than sustainable weight loss. we'll see how the rest of the month goes ( 1 more week without sugar)
August 13th -- 11st 11 ( completed 2 weeks on sugar and binged on chocolate to celebrate but still doing well) going for the final Push! wish me luck

august 20 =
August 13, 2012 04:22
Current weight 7/23 = 188

July 30 - 186 (down 2)

Aug 6 - 185 (down one more)

Aug 13 - 184 (another one bites the dust!)

Aug 20 -

Funny thing - MFP goal is to lose 1 pound per week and calories are calculated based upon that loss. I eat all my calories everyday and usually eat many of my exercise earned calories ---- so --- not sure why I'm surprised, but I am losing exactly as calculated!! I WANT to lose 2 pounds per week but know I wont restrict my calories that much. So I have to adjust my thinking - it will be a one pound loss per week for the most part : )

Don't know what's going on here... I weighed 170lb on Friday morning and didn't have a particularly bad weekend food wise. Not one drop of alcohol passed my lips and I even went for a run on Sat morning. OK I didn't drink a lot of water over the weekend and TOM is due on Wednesday... but hey, THIS IS JUST RIDICULUS....

Ok rant over.... here's hoping there is some miracle for next week...

yep sounds like bloat. drink a TON of water and electolytes (try to find low cal/low sugar alternatives like nunn or G2).

Not a good week for me at all. Fell of the bandwagon a bit. However, not too bad considering I went out for dinner three times this week and pretty much completely indulged myself.

Here's to a better week. Good luck on the last week everyone and amazing job to those that are making progress!!!

July 30th -- 192.6 lbs
August 6th -- 191.2 lbs
August 13th -- 190.2 lbs (had two really bad food days this week, glad i still lost a pound! also rolled my ankle on tuesday so no exercise that day)

I've been working on my couch-to-5k and can now successfully run an 8 minute interval! on my non-running days i do either a tony horton workout dvd or a kettlebell workout. don't think i'll hit the 6 lbs lost goal for the month, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. :)

Oh man I wish I was in on this one. I need 12, 4 week mini challenges. New here to MFP this last 2 weeks or so and am loving it. Never on FB know this one can make difference in my life. I hope to see another challenge and be apart of it. smile

PLATEAU city.... but I guess I'm still 2lb lighter than I was 4 weeks ago :~o

Guess I failed this challenge miserably... I'm giving myself a new challenge for Sept... To NOT weigh daily, just once on 1st and once on 30th and see how that goes!

Today TOM started. Given that I'm showing a weight today tells me that I've probably lost but it's hidden by bloat. This ilittle challenge was just what I needed to regain my focus. Officially 4 lbs down and maybe even a bit more. So happy and super close to my overall GW of 145. Yipeeeeeeee
