I've been playing with the same 2 lbs for the last 2 months.  My husband is home from being gone for 5 weeks, and I'm starting my 1/2 mary training, so I'm hoping to see some better numbers in the next few weeks.  I won't hit my goal, but I won't stop trying

what a great Valentine's day idea! 

You broke 215!!!  Awesome! 

adjusted start weight for new scale 215

 2 weeks ago - 213

today - 211 

Happy Holidays to all of you southerners!

I totally understand you wanting to see the number on the scale go down but as long as you notice a difference in your body (which usually leads to mentally also!) then the number doesn't mean as much ~ in my opinion, of course!  You're doing awesome ~ keep it up and your weight WILL go down!!  

I didn't lose any weight this week but after eating a gazillion chocolate covered raisens the other day, I really can't complain ~ especially since my BF went down a bit!   I'm still holding out and hoping to lose that last pound before Turkey Day...then I'll be setting a new Christmas goal!

I'm 2 pounds away from my goal (1 away from -15 since starting - yah!). Baby steps BUT thinking about shooting for as close to 250 by xmas as possible. The more the merrier!

11/24 - 214.5 - Bad week with customers in, lots of stress, little sleep and too much food around.  Also not working as hard in my workouts.  Need to focus, but having extra pain issues.

Hi everyone!

I'm really exhausted so I'm just going to post quickly.

 P.S. started training with team in training this past weekend.  Man was that a blast.  Learned that my running form is worse than terrible.  :-)

10/27 - 194.5

11/3 - 194

11/10 - 193

11-18 - 189.5

11/24 - 190

Yuck, back up .5 pounds.  Well, I thought that might happen.  We went out to dinner twice last week and we NEVER eat out like that.  (Usually, it's about once a month)   I tried to be good and was fairly good, but it's always hard to judge at a restaurant.  At least at home, you know what you are putting in your cooking.

Yay for strength training!  I really think that's why my last few stubborn pounds have been coming off.  Now if I can work on that BF percentage!

Congrats to everybody and remember - Thanksgiving is just one day....don't stree over extra calories!

Well, I've met my Christmas goal early!   I'm really happy with myself but I have to give it up for these challenges and everyone's support ~ they've really got me out the door when all I really want to do is just sit on my a$$ or go to bed!  I'm not where I want to be yet so i'm still "tri'ing for weightloss."  Ultimately I would LOVE to get to 135 but getting back to my pre pregnancy weight is a huge accomplishment for me!  I will still be weighing in each Monday but I'm happy to say with new goals! 

Great job, that is a huge accomplishment! Keep up the great work.

YAY!! Your consistency in training is very impressive and just goes to show that if you get out and do something every day you'll see results. Congratulations and good luck on getting to 135.....you can do it!

Yeah, but you're an Ironman! Congratulations...and good luck with seeing some weight loss before the end of the year.

Thank you!  I have to agree with what you said about weight training really helping!  I've been focusing more on cardio so I've made that one of my goals in a challenge for December!
