Alright... I gained a pound this week, and it sent me into a bit of a downward spiral (hence the delayed post) but I think I am coming out of it now.   At least I hope I am!  One week left, and then a nice long what I have learned, how I ended up doing post!  Until then - happy challenges and good luck!

10 weeks down, 2 to go!  I lost 2.6 lbs this week!  Whoot!  I am feeling great about doing this slowly.  I am getting into a better groove with knowing when I am hungry and knowing when I want to eat, but don't really need to.  So, I am happy with how things are going overall.  Since the beginning of the year (I started the biggest loser challenge ( Read more... )

Alright!  Excellent week.  I hit my original goal and lost 3 lbs this week.  I think a little bit of that had to do with being sick and drinking an amazing amount of liquid over a three day period!  But I will take it!  And try and use it as motivation to continue for the next three weeks ( Read more... )

I weighed-in this week after being sent home sick, visiting the doctor and being told to stay away from work for 2 days.  This has never happened to me before.  I have always had a great immune system and never been out of work/school for more than a day.  So... only gaining 2 oz for the week.  Not too bad.  Unfortunately my motivation is severely ( Read more... )

Just a short update.  I weighed in 1 pound heavier this week (Saturday) and that made me feel depressed.  I had felt like I had a good week, so going in and weighing heavier put me down.  I still made the top 5 females by percentage, so small victories... yay ( Read more... )

I was feeling pretty good about stepping on the scale this week... I made pretty good choices (they didn't always make me happy, but I made them), and I ended up loosing over 2% of my weight in one week!  Crazy times.  And then they posted a half way mark summary and I am in third place for females - losing just over 5% of my total weight so far!  ( Read more... )

Ok, so worst weigh-in yet.... but considering the week and the female status... only gaining 6 oz is pretty good.  At any given point on any day this week I could have been up or down 5 lbs! (Or at least it felt like it.)

Getting back into the swing of things and trying to eat enough, not too much, but still be over full.

Ok - happy new week!

Alright, weigh-in results for the week: loss of 1.5 pounds!  Total since the beginning = a 3.3% body weight loss ( Read more... )

Alright, another week has come and gone.  I wasn't strict this week, didn't follow up with my calorie counting on Fitday.com this week to see how I could do on my own.  And the result: I lost 1 pound.  Considering the week and the happenings, I am pretty happy with a loss!  (Also - I have recently rediscovered how tasty Totino's frozen pizzas are ( Read more... )

Alright - Biggest Loser update.  I went into the weigh-in feeling like the week was a bust.  Not that I had gained, but not lost either.  So... when I ended up with a 4 lb loss I was pretty happy.  I think I 'celebrated' with a few too many cookies... but a few too many has now turned into 3 instead of a dozen like before, so that is a good sign, ( Read more... )
