Weight Loss

Hey guys, are any of you interested in losing 10 lbs by Christmas w/ me? I'm thinking weigh in day will be Friday, and losing 10 lbs by Dec. 25 is pretty reasonable, about a pound a week. If you're interested post your stats. Anyone is welcome. =D

• Starting weight (October 21, 2007): 253.2 LB (114.85 KG)
• Weight at start of challenge (October 26, 2007): 248.6 LB (112.76 KG)
• December 7, 2007: 230.38 LB (104.5 KG)
• Current weight: 225.97 LB (102.5 KG)
• Weight lost this week: 4.41 LB (2 KG)
• Weight lost since the start of the challenge: 22.63 LB (10.26 KG)
• Total weight lost: 27.23 LB (12.35 KG)
• Goal by Christmas: 227.08 LB (103 KG) - Reached!

I just realized I've lost 23 pounds since the start of a challenge named "lose 10 lbs by Christmas." Oh well.

When do we stop anyway? The Friday before or after Christmas?

Start - 145

10-23-07 - 143

10-29-07 - 145.5 EKKK! TOM

11-5-07 - 142

11-16-07? - 140.5

 11-27-07 - 141 TOM YUCK!!!!

12-7-07 - 140

12-14-07 - 139.5

Slowly but surely I am getting there! 

OK - I am now 5'8" and 126lbs. I am stopping now and not focusing on the 125 number. One pound is not going to make a difference and I am now looking a  little thin in the torso area. I wanted to look good in a bikini and now I look okay at the bottom (Still too big, I think) but up top I look actually a little sick...ribs and bones sticking out...not nice. Anyway, I am going to stop and just see if I can achieve the look I want with toning and no be too hard on my self this holiday season.

Goo dluck to everyone and Merry Christmas!

Starting Weight = 135.5

Current Weight = 130.5

Hey guys, I reached my Christmas goal but I might as well keep posting updates to keep me accountable!

Starting this challenge: 245

Christmas goal: 235

Current weight: 234

Yay! I'm still on track! I also joined a gym, so that should be helping me out.

Whew.  That was close.  After a full week of being sooo good, the scale never moved one iota.  Then this morning it went down a pound.  Made me happy.  I do need feed-back.  As an extra bonus, I put on a pair of jeans that were just a little bit tight and they fit comfortably today.  I absolutely cannot wear tight jeans. 
Made my goal last week, but I'm still posting as there's still many pre-xmas pitfalls ahead.

Ok, since I am not doing as well as I want to be doing I was depressed about my progress... then I realized that I am down 6 pounds in the mids of the Holiday Season.  So what that I didn't get down the ten, there is always New Years!!!!!

I started on November 2 at 146 and I am currently 140. 

My original goal was 139 and the Christmas Challenge would have made me 136.  My new goal weight date will be New Years Eve!

Weigh in # 1 : 130 lbs

Goal  : 122 - 125 lbs

Weigh in # 2 : 130 lbs (no weight loss so far)

Weigh in # 3 : 129 lbs ( 1 lb down) Woo hoo!! I've been travelling and under stress- so this is good to see!

Good luck everyone!

My Christmas present to me!

Well, this is the last Friday before Christmas...

I started at 146 on Nov. 2

Currently I am at 139 which was my personal goal before the challenge.  So I hit this goal but didn't quite make it to the 10 lb. goal.  Although I have a couple of days before Christmas so maybe!
