hheehhee.
Its the same for me too- I love how the date drastically changes giving you a later date with the MORE weight you lose, which should make the date closer.
I understand needing all of the encouragement you can get, and even though it is just a computer generated thumbs up- it still feels great- and stinks when it is a thumbs down!
Hang in there...you are doing great! |

Thanks- its kinda nice to gauge your process....I just didn't know if CC had some sort of main brain that decided a "hidden target weight" that would be reached....haha..wishful thinking...or just silliness! |

That's the thing- I didn't set my date- I let CC set it for me.....and it is based on a 1.5-2 lbs a week loss.....and the date is sooner than what the calorie coach said would be my target weight and date....and I lost 3.8 lbs this week so far...so that mean's I lost more per week than calorie count anticipated when they set my goal date....so the calorie coach does not make sense to me.....still...lol |

My younger brother is 19- 6'3" and the airforce made him gain weight- he now weighs about 168...don't worry! |

If you are having trouble finding out group site- rather than the forum post group- let someone know and we can help.
The group site looks new, there are limited posts compared to our AMAZING 125 posts here.
I think, as many said, it will give us the opportunity to keep conversations more managable. We can have a weigh in thread, a chat thread, maybe even a weekly challenge thread.
We just got hammered with snow up here in VT! YAY finally an excuse to say its winter.
Best of luck to everyone's weigh in today- off to the group site to post!

I'm Still here Laina!!!! :)
Just didn't get to a computer Friday to put in my stats- but I did weigh in. You are doing great. I am jelous, I was kinda trying to keep up with you cuz we were right around the same weight. But I haven't been working out for the past two weeks and no weight loss shows that. But I have maintained so that is exciting. This upcomming week is the last week of my current courses, so when I finish I'll have a two week break before I start my next courses...I'm on it this week!!!!
So here we go
oday's Date: Friday, November 14 Last weeks Weight: 205 10% loss = 191.0 lbs
This weeks Loss: Overall weight loss so far- 7 Pounds to till mini goal- 14
COUNTDOWN TO UNDER 200LBS- 5.2 LBS TO GO!!! Weekly weigh ins Starting weight- 212.0 1st- Friday, October 31, 2008 - 209.8 2nd- Friday, November 7, 2008- 211.0 3rd Friday, November 14, 2008-207.8 4th Friday, November 21, 2008- 204.6 5th Friday, November 28, 2008 -205.00 6th Friday, December 5, 2008 - 205.00
I am feeling fantastic about my weight. I have not been weighing in on an empty stomach and I have not been working out- So, I have maintained, through beer, wine, bailyes and Thanksgiving, through stress, craziness and finals, and I am going to Kick butt this week. My inches are dropping too- Sharyn- I think I'm starting to see what yo umean.
BTW- I cut my hair off even more!!!! its all gone!!! and I started tanning- two little things that bring out my vibrancy and make me feel great! |

Hey Janet,
Thanks! It is crazy at home with all the kids. Especially with work and school and getting caught up in the holidays. Thanks for the input and support. I think I kinda steered away because I love CC so much that I was getting caught up in chatting with all my fellow losers instead of doing my school work. OOPS, i'm actually writing a paper right now, just taking a quick break. Its all good.
But I have to post my stats for Friday- First time at a computer since then.
Have to read the rest of everyones stats tooo. I am so excited to see everyones great effort still.

Hey Guys!! I'm back, sorry I dissapeared. I was totally consumed with school, traveling, kids, the FLU and another round of ear infections for the twins.
I haven't gotten on the scale since just after thanksgiving, but I didn't gain anything So my Last weight was 205 Loss of zero pounds for the week. I will post the original way on Friday, and hopefully the scale will be nice to me, i haven't been sticking to my "diet" lately.
I am more than thrilled to see all of you flourishing in your weight loss and I will try to keep up more diligently with posting and my weight loss.

U all are AMAZING-
I have decided, along with our weight loss lets start saving then meet somewhere in the middle of all our states and meet face to face! Thank you all! We made it safe to Pittsburgh, through 4 snow storms, CRAZY! I live in Vermont and there is no snow compared to Pennsylvania. My little cousin is okay. She will be leaving the hospital tomorrow under close supervision I hope. I invited her to come stay with me in Vermont if she wanted to, so maybe she will accept the invitation. Sharyn, Laina, Janet, Krisiti.....and everyone I forgot FANTASTIC week. Sharyn, you are right on, sometimes the efforts of the week do not reflect on the scale- I have to say my pants are fitting a little looser and I looked in the mirror today and said "Damn i'm hot" LOVE IT.
A few more to go and a lifetime of changes for all of us. I am up for the 10 before christmas, at least giving it a try!! |

Sorry Everyone, I didn't get to read the posts, I am out the door- traveling through the snow storm. If any of you pray, say a few for my oldest and I, and for my cousin, she is only 11 and decided to take half a bottle of pills, she is okay, but not out of the woods quite yet.
As for this week, emotional rollercoaster, PMS, Work, Retarded dad, we are not getting along too well, I am not sure if I should have had him come home as soon as I did....we just don't seem to get along or see anything eye to eye.
oday's Date: Friday, November 14 Last weeks Weight: 207.8 10% loss = 191.0 lbs

Hey Everyone, I am so excited to see we have gathered even more people in our little forum! For the first time, something I have started is actually taking off, kinda like all of the weight off our backsides!!!!!!!
Krisit- I am glad that you stayed on the wagon!!! WE CAN do it, remember!!!! I had a tough week too with AUNTIE keeping me bloated all week. My Kids are still fighting ear infections- its almost been 1 month- but I can't complain too much, it is the first time they have been sick in a year and for pre-me's thats good.
All you other ladies- keep it up, all of your words are so encouraging and it makes me happy every time I get on the internet and see all these posts! I am down to 204.8 this morning- and still have my period....so I am going to take that as a good sign- I biked for 1.5 hrs the other nite while I was watching NCIS and the Mentalist, it made the time FLY by! I'll check in tomorrow and try to throughout the weekend, but I think I am leaving at 5 am, so I may forget.
Good luck ladies. keep it up! |

Hey Sharyn!
My clothes, well other than the fact I am truely bloated this week thanks to Aunt Flo, and my weight jumping up and down from 206-209 my clothes fit well.
Its strange though, even at 186, where I was before I got pregant with the twins, I was in a size 16, at 220 I was in a 16/18, so its strange. I once squeezed into a 13/14 but it was not pretty....LOL.. cteene- WELCOME! This is not just for young, its for all, its for all of us that are doing this for good and really want to stay in contact and motivate each other! Laina- I'm getting jelous :) Those numbers are dropping fast and with fury! GOOD WORK! to another week- Cheers! Hopefully I will have lost my water weight by fridays weigh in.
Also, I am going to be traveling this weekend all day friday and all day sunday, so wish me traveling food luck!!!!
Thanks ladies, my heart and pounds go out to you all1!!! |

I had a real question though, does anyone ever feel larger when theystart to lose weight? I sometimes feel like I am getting bigger...UG. YUCK.
Talk to you all sooooon! |

Hey Ladies,
We had an AWESOME week!
I can't wait to see the rest of the posts- I am amazed at how many posts we have had in the last 3 weeks. Seriously, the help from you guys, especially you krisit for pushing me to start this thread has made this the longest, but shortest, 3 weeks of LOSING!!! I am excited because keeping in contact is a little MORE than motivating! |

Hey
Kristi, Sharyn, Lindsay, Chipdog, and Julie! And welcome, laina, cc91428, and betterbe
Returning ladies- keep up the good work, I really like how we got to see our weights differ throughout the week. Sharyn, sorry you are feeling so sick still, and I'm sure you'll do great with the temptation- I still have that Almond Joy sitting in my car near the odometer- its been since the Monday before Halloween! Kristi- Yeah girl- keep it up, I had the same weight 2 days then was down a half pound! Laina, awesome to hear you have twins too- Mine are boy girl twins and are just about 15 months- I got down to 186 after my first, she is 6, then poof, I was pregnant again- I just don't want it to take 5 years again! cc91428- We all have a lot in common, school, work, kids, but most of all we all need support- I think we are one forum group that is actually staying in touch! It really helps! betterbe- you are a great inspiration as is! GOOD LUCK!
Alright- tomorrow is weigh in morning- hope everyone is ready!

Hey ladies,
So this Am was the same weight as yesterday 207.2- but I am closing on the start of my period, SOOOO, we all know what that means. I hope no one is offended I am being open about my womanly stuff.
Anyways- did great today at work- went to the "in laws" (not married yet) for dinner and had a great meal, she is a fab. cook soooo I hope that the scale doesn't murder my mentality in the morning.
I am still fighting this cold, my twin daughter is fighting off an allergic reaction to something, we thought amoxicillin but the hives are bigger now, its been a stressful week. School, hormones, sick baby, yikes. I am sleepy tonight so I am going to take the night off.
I was down to 203 right before sept 1, so I think the weight gain after that is what I am losing now, thats why it is coming off, we'll just keep going.
nite |

I CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAYS WEIGH IN!!! YEAH!
My little secret this week- packing my lunch the night before eating every 2 HOURS, NO MATTER WHAT. Once before I tried this, eating every 2 hours, and the weight just came off. So, we are trying again, I feel that baby weight is stubborn though, that damned mamma pouch sucks! Anyways
Good night! |

So, My AM weight was
208.2 Wahoo!
Last night I got back on the elliptical for 20 minutes- felt great- did my reading for school and it went by really quickly. Today was a day from hell, my exercise took place at work, running back and forth from shop to shop delivering parts, and lifting heavy brake rotors all day long- I also did a few jumping jacks, swept the floors, and ran up and down the stairs a few times to try and get in a little bit of a work out. I ate really well 900 calories up until dinner time, BUT, we went to my mom's for dinner so I hope I didn't blow it, it was a really healthy dinner- sweet potatoes green beans and a vegetarian dish thing that had mushrooms spinach cheese and tofu in it- SO, with my small glass of red wine i think I did okay.
We will see tomorrow morning- keep it up ladies- This is really helping me, I hope it is helping you too! |

Hey Ladies!
I am scared to get on the scale tomorrow morning. I had a weak moment and got on the scale in the middle of the week and it said I gained back my 2 pounds. I know that weight fluctuates through the week and it can take a few days to drop the weight from a day of splurging, but I am still worried. I didn't work out as much as I wanted, I am on may way towards my monthly vistit from AUNT Flo, boo hoo. But, its a week of determination to continue with this goal, because I want to, so I am going to. Oh, and I treated myself- I chopped my hair!
Wahhooo- hopefully the steak and sweet potatoes I ate for dinner digest quickly so tomorrows am weight is acceptable! |

Okay- I bombed Yesterday, Big time, LOL. But I did good on Halloween!
So, my idea- I'm jumping on my elliptical right now. 4 days of good exercise and good eating will make up for my splurge yesterday! And I am not going to get on the scale to see what my weight is today, because I know it will only bring me down! I have 2 papers to write for school and a lot of reading to finish- I am going to hideout in my loft office until its done! WISH ME LUCK! And good luck to you guys as well! No falling off the wagon for me this time around! |

Hey returning Ladies and Hi to CHIPDOG, Welcome! So excited to get home and see that you logged in and posted your loss for the week! Fantastic JOB!!! I remember becoming so frustrated with another group I had joined where everyone disappeared and there was no communication other than weight posts!
So, we all know that the key to losing weight is more than just doing it, we need motivation and suggestions to help out our success. I think we all have more than one factor in common, and I think one that we all are truely focused on is getting below that 200 lb mark....what a frustrating number. I got close- to 203 and it was a dream come true. I found that in my last attempt to lose weight (after my first child) I plateaued at 213 for a long time. We will be a fantastic group together! Good luck through the weekend, and PLEASE- eat a few pieces of Halloween Candy- you will love it and burn the calories, NO problem!
