Good Saturday afternoon to everyone, been out to thrift stores today looking for new clothes. I actually bought an extra large shirt today, granted it was a large extra large, but the tag still said it was an flippin' X-Large. Quite a change from the 4X I was wearing a year ago. Weighed in this morning at 253.5, that's 2.5 down from last week. Need 3.5 lbs next week to reach my goal.

My weight is 225.3. I lost 1.3 lbs.

Julia checking in at 165! Yea! Lost 2 pounds

"Monster" Mash May heading in the other direction again - HOW SCARY! Up to 159.4! Since returning from a get away weekend with the hubby last week I haven't been good about tracking my food or keeping up my liquid protein. It just goes to show you how the weight can creep up in no time, even with exercise. It's a lot of work on our part to make sure all plates are spinning to make sure one doesn't fall. One more week - keep up the great work!

JulieG (nu2ywg) checking in and very happy that I didn't run and hide over the almost 2 lb I gained in the first two weeks of the challenge. This week I lost 5 lb and am at 201 lb. I am so close to onederland and can almost taste it!!! I'm three pounds from my goal for October but honestly, as long as I get to onederland I will be thrilled.

Did any of you have any specific rewards you treated yourself too when you hit onederland? Just trying to plan ahead and since this is such a major deal for me it will give me something to think about.

I treated myself to a pedicure.

I love going to my favorite thrift store and was there Friday, as a matter of fact. Great job on the X large shirt!

I am checking in at 180.6, that is 1# down for the week. I am pleased with that!

I went to Costco Friday and bought a pair of size 12 pants. I had to take them home since they don't have dressing rooms and they fit! I was thrilled!

I hope your weekend is going great!!!

Okay, I havent lost any weight, and gained a pound this week. I'm hoping because its that TOM. My fill has not kicked in and tomorrow will be 2 weeks, so Im guessing maybe its not going to. I am doing Zumba 2-3 times a week, treadmill 2 days a week, strength training 2 days a week. I have got to try and step it up. I want to have some loss before next Saturday.

So, Im checking in at 168.5 (+1)

I stayed the same

10/15/2011 - 270

I had a fill a week ago so been pretty tight and eating small amounts. Only made it to the gym twice this week though. next week will be better with that...super happy about the 4 lbs though!

10/22/11 - 269

Happy for the 1 lb loss! Had a crazy busy week at work and only made it to the gym twice, but better than never!
