I feel like I'm never going to get there!! :(  

Some impressive loss this week!

miabel: You are doing great! Down 11 lbs in 6 weeks that is Awesome!

runnignbuns: down 3 lbs this week  - Way to go!

heavenly: down 5.2 lbs!!! You're doing great! I've found that now that I'm keeping my sodium down I'm not doing the yo-yoing so much. You can do it! How's the exercise coming? I'm slowly getting back into mine but not to the extent that I was.

jweber96: down 2 lbs - Congrats on the 2 workouts and of course raking leaves counts!

I'll be back tomorrow to post my weigh in. I'm hoping for a loss this week. {fingers crossed}.

Everyone is doing great! Remember it's all about living a healthier lifestyle and improving our health. With that will come the weight loss.  Thanks for the motivation everyone!

I'm finally back to my low from last year. Almost 1 year exactly I had gotten down to 239.5 from 277 last year but then let things slide so I'm happy to finally be back down and working on going lower! My next mini goal is 235. I haven't been this low since before my daughter was born. She's just turned 14!

Running late again as usual on logging my weigh from last Sunday, though I did make note of it...so, here it is...

Thanks for the encouragement, Heavenly.  Much appreciated!

Hope you had a great Veteran's Day.  And a BIG thanks to any Vets we may have amongst us here.  And, as usual, Lots of luck, to All of you!

Just wanted to comment on the losses this week.  What ever you are doing - keep it up!  It will be to your health benefit in the end if you are able to stay on track.  While the holiday are nearing us with temptations, we need to understand that moderation and not fullfilment of what we desire to eat in any portion size is acceptable.  If you do eat in excess, don't give up or call it a cheat or binge.  CALLED IT AN UNPLANNED MEAL.  You are likely to be less hard on yourself for the amount of food and what you ate.

I also want to thank everyone here for being so kind and complimenting each other and giving support where needed.  I know for me, it has been helpful. I have a total gain of like .8 pounds since the challenge, but that is ok. It still isn't over.

Take care one and all. Hope your Veternans day was a good one and that you got to thank a Vet.

God Bless.

Total Loss for this challenege: 13 lbs

Good morning everyone, Weighed in yesterday at 209 again, just holding my own this week, only consuming 1600-1625 calories per day so hope some more of this weight comes off soon. Has been steady for the last couple of months but the chart still shows a downward trend so that is good. Have been doing yard work and repairs around the outside getting ready for winter which should be here soon. See you all next week, Roger from Western NY.
