How are we doing?!

Headed off to weigh-in the morny!  Coming from 351.4 but it was a good size drop from prior week and Ive been uping cals a bit with including more carbs.  Good carbs but still no sure what to expect.  Been good though so it should count for something.

See journal entry for today. :/  Meh.

Your hanging in there which is what matters.  Weighed in 350.4, 1 lb this week but expecting better next Thursday.  Know how easy it would be to be gaining so I'll take a lb down and love these weeks as they add up.

SW: 329lbs ( Feb 5th/08)  

Current Feb 19th: 313bs 

Goal: 220 (for now)

Lost :16lb

 

 yaya !! 2 more pounds gone !!! yay me !  

Way to go korali - keep it up the good work, March 1st weigh in is a week away!

my last two weigh ins sucked.. gained 5 lbs in two weeks.. When all I had been doing is upping my already rigourous excersize regime.. which had me really upset and wondering what had happened.. I mean I averaged 1900 cals for those two weeks and was burning 4200 on average for those weeks.. how the hell could I have gained right? Well Im over it and havent weighed for 10 days. Also the past two weekends have been pretty much free for me, which I know is horrible. But Im back on track for now. Just being back at 326 will make me happy for febuary.. Somethings gotta give here. Cuz I was working my ass off and gaining... So frustrating and discouraging, my god..

Whenever I work out vigorously I retain LOTS of water. It's something about damaged muscles..when they heal they release the water...so, 2-3 days away from the gym I Always drop like 4 pounds. Also, 1900 isn't enough! If you burn 4200- you should be eating more.

Try not to be discouraged- keep eating right and exercising and the weight Will come off.

I've been having a water-retainy month myself! I think these things go in cycles. I seem to be able to lose weight fine for a while .... then it slows and I retain water .... then it starts up again.

But it CAN be frustrating.

Hang in there!

SW: 345lbs ( june 2007)  

Current Feb 26th: 189 lbs 

Goal: 200 (met)

Lost :156 lbs ;)

I'm not a member of this group but I just had to say that I am awed at the results you guys have achieved.  WOW.  It gives me inspiration to keep up!

Thanks shewolffe - Im so happy to have so many join and commit to go all the way! 

Is that March at the end of the week !!  Two months in and we're still going.  Syntitan, so good to see you meet/beat your goal, with all you've achieved and your doing great keeping it off (great for when we catch up with you ;D).

Hoping Molly this retention falls behind you and can forget how well youve done so far - good things ahead.  Good to know your back on track Jack - hoping leaving that weekend has a nice zigzag loss in your future. 

Got a weighin Thursday which I will use for March 1st.  I had only a 1 lbs loss last week so hoping for better - I think introducing some good carbs with fruit and whole wheat may have been a calorie increase but hopng to keep it up and still get back to stronger losses.  Maybe this Thursday but Ive heard some say cal increases can cause delay for 2weeks.  Will see.

Hope your doing well and again, yeah to the new members !!

I look at the weight loss amounts of members of this group and I am totally in awe. What amazing things we can do together. United we lose and alone we fail. Here's to a great weigh-in on Saturday morning.

Yes- well said Ezrasmao

Hello everyone.

Everyone seems to be doing really well! Ive just been reading the forum everyday after logging.

Is it too late to join in?

If not im 6"1, my SW 335 (5/2/08), CW 318, Lost 17, Goal 299 (for now!)

You can certainly join David - I sent you a PM and with your reply will get you loaded up in the OP above. 

Weighed in this morn at 348.0 which I will use for March 1st weighin.  Happy to have dropped below 350 - no claiming the 300+ status :D. 

Spent a ridiculous amount of time at Walmart this morning but the walking alone was worth it.  Trying to stretch my options - added pickles, not something I'd normally enjoy but the Clausen ones arent as sour.  I dont mind eating the same often but I do eventually burn out on certain things.

I agree Danielle and will enjoy at year end looking back at year end to where we came from. 

Welcome DavidSmith!!!!

=^..^= MOLLY

Thanks Sun and Molly.

 Hope this forum keeps me and everyone else motivated to achieve our goals, its good to know theirs others trying to achieve the same as me.

Hihi everyone! Just checking in. My weight this morning was 238.8 lbs!

 

Starting weight: 319 lbs
Current weight: 238.8 lbs (Feb 28th 2008)
Total lost: About 80 lbs

Hope everyone is enjoying their diet! I even had a free day yesterday and ate a LOT but still weighed in the same. Balance, not perfection!

Good going Jenn!  Got you updated on the OP and I agreethatone free day has so many others to balance it out. 

WEIGH IN TIME IS HERE - well, technically tomorrow but let us hear from everybody.  Wishing everyone luck and remember anyset backs do not define the year.  None of us are perfect but hoping the best for all!

Looking forward to hearing from you guys and how its going -

Last month 299.6

This month 298.8

Loss: 0.8

But that's ok since I weighed a couple weeks ago and had a gain which had be back at 302.
