10 pounds by the middle of August? Who's up for it? ----GROUP CLOSED!

I started calorie count in November of 2007, since then I lost 22 pounds. But...I gained 2-3 back and I never reached my goal of 145. Right now I am 155-156. I began this journey at 175, 5'8". So who's ready to lose the last 10 with me??

 

We will have weekly weigh-ins on Friday mornings and post them in this thread, tell how we feel, if we are struggling, etc.

We need support!!

 WTG snow!   You even managed to get there ahead of schedule.  :P~

thanks!  :D  i was hoping i could even do it, let alone doing it early!  i just happened to be up 4 pounds when we started though, and since it was "fresh weight" it came right off.

i am soooooo happy!!!

i hope you ALL can make it too!!!  good luck!!!

yey!!!!!

I'll be there.... in about a year! LOL

lol  it won't be that long.  it'll just seem like it.  :D

I know! :D

Weigh in day tomoz - and I'm going out tonight.

I might order a beer and a glass of water at the same time tonight, take a sup of the beer, then the water. :D That might make wanting lots of beer go away. I don't like water too much!

Ahh, so I missed last weeks weigh-in cause I was uo north with some friends for a long weekend- which meant plenty of drinking and no excercise...

I'm scared for tomorrow, pretty sure I may have gone up a bit.. :/

I am worried about tomorrow too.  I don't think I am going to have a loss this week according to my daily scale weighing that I do.  No loss so far this week.  I did good with calories in and out, burning at least 3/4 of a pound but the scale didn't move yet.  Fingers crossed.

SW:115.5

CW:111

GW:105

i think i've plateaued. how can i push thru it?

Yay for me! 

Last week: 131.5

Today: 130.5

120's here I come!  Look out for me!

lozz ~ how'd you do after the beer last night?

Good luck everyone!

Original Post with stats; #51

YES, I had a loss this week.  Not quite a pound but it was actually what I expected according to my calories in vs. calories out over the past week. 

GOAL FOR AUG 8; 175 or less

ktcort, johgar, tracyt, I am keeping an eye on you three since we are all working in the same area of the scale.  As Jack Sparrow so eloquently put it:  MOVEMENT, I WANT MOVEMENT....lol (I assume everyone is a Pirates of the Caribbean fan just like me!)

I wanna give a shout-out to Kazoo, you rock!  I am impressed at your numbers and spirit.  I am 42 and inspired when I see people above me not giving up to the excuse of age!  Thanks for the inspiration!

Good work everyone, we're in the home stretch!!

Kay...it's not much...but it's something! Like I said in my last post...I'll just be happy if I break my lowest of 177 for CC. At least I broke my gaining streak! It's the BF's Bday this weekend, so bound to wreak havoc on my non-drinking streak...lol...oh well...life's not about being perfect, just healthy...hehe.
halizabeth - I freakin love pirates!!! haha...I had some movement this week...just for you :)
lozzle - I feel like screaming every time that evil 180 pops back on my scale, so I feel you on that one!!!
