Reporting in at 158.4. My weight has fluctuated so much this week - up 2, then down 2 and I feel like my appetite is high. I go in next week for my check up and may ask for a small fill. Still only a little walking during the day - just what I do at work and push-ups - - I need to ramp up the exercising. Going to Disneyland with the family on Sunday and Monday so I should get some great miles there!

That fill really helped this week! Hopefully i can lose that three pounds this week!

Ugh, I'm so annoyed with myself this month. What happened to me??? Down a pound, up a pound...I don't even remember what I was last week. Weighed in at 257 this morning. Definitely not going to meet my goal (

checking in at 256.7, lost 6.6lbs Woo Hoo!!!! FINALLY IN THE 250's

I made to 259 on Sunday morning but then gained 4 pounds by Monday, even though I played disc golf Sunday afternoon. It's bad enough when you gain but when you work your butt off the day before and still gain 4 pounds, makes me really mad.

Checking in this a.m. with no change in weight--still 249. Curse this ToM business!!!!

My other goals are coming along nicely. I've been going to the gym six days a week. Even when my knee starting hurting (I think it was letting me know that I'm still too heavy to run on it!), I just rested for a day and then switched over to the stationary bike and elliptical machines and went easy on it until it felt better.

I've signed up for a parent/child swim class beginning the week of October 4 as part of the "finding active things to do with my 16-month old."

I log in to myfitnesspal.com every day and track my food and exercise.

Julia checking in. Down to 169 Lost 2 pounds this week.

Not a great week here. I maintained, didn't lose a thing! But I exercised 2 times. One of those times was a hike in the woods for 2.26 miles, which I am very proud of. I hurt afterward, but felt like I accomplished something.

Now that my PCOS has resolved itself, I'm pretty sure I'm at about 4 weeks, sooooo, that could explain the 0 weight loss. So much for losing 50 pounds by my birthday on Sunday. grrrrrr. It was to be my own little birthday present to myself.

4 weeks pregnant?!

How wonderful to spend time with your baby in a swim class, good for you!

Joan checking in with a loss of 2.2#, finally! 184.0 I think I am like Larry, I don't lose each week, actually this is my first loss for the month. I lost more than average for me last month so maybe the first couple I weeks I was at a mini plateau?

I am doing fairly well with my personal goals: gym has been 2 times a week instead of 3 but I have walked our dogs 1-2 times per day most days; I have been to the movies twice, I am still working on increasing fruits and veggies, this is a challenge for me.

Next week is our final weigh in for the month! Let's try to reach some goals!
