Goal Weight:  285

2 lbs a week for next 10 weeks.  

Horrible weekend in terms of eating. My niece's first birthday--a pig roast with tons of food. Felt like crap the next day. I can tell I'm not used to that.

On the workout front, not that much better. But at least got in the pool for a short workout this morning. Gotta reestablish the habit!   --my run habit is on hold for a while longer, since my knee keeps filling up with fluid. Creaky arthritic knees leading to Baker's Cyst... maybe cutting the weight a bit more will help. I'll have to rely on the swimming more.

WhenAllElse Fails ~ welcome to the group.  Gotta get on the wagon...more exercise and wise food choices!

LovemyMak ~ I surely hope your daughter is well.  I have a 4 yr old and wouldn't know how to handle him being in the hospital !!

I'm knocking on the door of the 220s!

weigh in this week 128

up 3 lbs, but I did a half mary yesterday and I always retain water and weigh high the day after a race. So should be back down by next week.

Down another two pounds this week. I completed a 100km (60 mile) ride on Sunday and felt great. My weight has been fluctuating a bit but I believe that it is water weight.

Summary:

Last week: 287lbs

This week: 285lbs

10/13 - 220.0 - Good week.  Keep on going everyone....

Keep up the good work everyone!!

I guess I will take it.  It's so frustrating when my weight comes off so slowly.  I tell myself maybe it was the weekend, but honestly it wasn't like I completely lost it.  I indulged a little I will be honest with you, but it's not like I went off the deep end.  In fact, I have been so good for the last three weeks (logging nutrition and training and all) that I didn't think it would affect my loss much. 

I hope that this week I will see a bigger drop.  Maybe, it'll kick in again. 

Starting weight - 152

Last Week - 151.4

This Week - 150.6

It is so nice to look at this thread. This has been a few hard weeks in a row for me, and it seems for a lot of us.  It's always hard when weight comes off (very) slowly, but I'm really glad to be able to watch all of your successes, and also share in the struggles.  It's so encouraging to have a group working toward the same goals.  

Keep up the great work everyone, and don't forget to celebrate the small successes!

Starting weight: 218

Last week: 214

This week 214

Can't be completely disappointed cause this weekend was tough.  But I added biking in to my workouts so hopefully this will be a great week. 

I was 144 lbs Monday morning.

I'm still up 4lbs since we started.  I go down during the week and then up on the weekend.  Not doing so well.
