Monday check-in and it's not good news. I gained 1.5 pounds this week, and I attribute that to the fact that I kept grabbing handfuls of the salted peanuts that were readily available at work. I went over 50g of carbs both Saturday and Sunday! Lesson learned. Barring a miracle, I probably won't be making that wedding goal of 235, but of course I have bigger priorities for the week of my wedding.

I am a female, but want to join the challenge...
I weigh 175 as of today, so I should lose 17.5. I am at a complete plateau, I should figure out what to do to keep losing.
When is Thanksgiving this year?

Hi everyone! Nearly forgot it was weigh in day since I weigh every day. LOL

195.5 last Monday and 191.0 so a loss of 4.5

I'll take that for the week but was doing a colon cleanse so don't expect that this week.

Well, last week was <200 due to the run, yesterday still <200, but this mornings weigh in (cue suspensful drumroll) 200+ - DANGIT!

Specifically 202.2/23.8%

That said; I attribute this whole increase to a week of no exercise and oodles of tasty food. No more vacations from here till Thanksgiving (TWELVE WEEKS LEFT TO GO PEOPLE!) so I need to stop dilly-dallying and hit full speed ahead!

205-21 = 184 to hit by November. I Am Going To Do It!

I am down 1.4 pounds this week and am pleased enough with that. Next week should be doubtful as there is a big wedding this weekend ... lots of scary choices!

Started 10% challenge 211.6
Currently 210.4

Hey there guys - I know it's not Monday, but we're looking at a labor day weekend!

I wish us all luck in keeping it clean and healthy through the last long weekend of the summer

Keep up the good work everyone.

Last week wasn't great--ended up at the hospital for lower back spasms. My first (and hopefully last for quite some time) ride in a wheel chair. Of course, they had to get the "fat guy" wheel chair, which was embarrasing Really sucks when you can't even walk w/o screaming.

Anyway, after some Vicodin and muscle relaxer I was mobile again. I think the drugs made me retain water or something, as no loss last week.

This week, however, the scale shows me a svelt 350.5

356 - 5.5 = 13.0 lbs. to go for the challenge--piece of (no) cake!

Hope everyone else is keeping healthy--even over the long weekend.
