268 lbs

I didn't really lose over 2 lbs in a week, since I've been bouncing around 112 since the beginning of August, but I'm thrilled that the scale has finally caught up with my efforts. 110 was my short term goal and I only want to shed a couple more pounds. I really need to start focusing on fitness, since I'm a textbook case of "skinnyfat," but my job is irregular with a lot of late nights, so it's hard to establish a consistent schedule.

Congratulations Yunalee!!

Rubystars, I added your name to the list in case you want to continue checking in on Fridays.

Best wishes to all the rest of you!

Woo hoo! Big congrats to the both of you. Awesome to check in and see that y'all had great results.

I'm still on this plateau, but technically I'm down .2, so I'll take it. I take pix of myself at the beginning of every month for comparison & motivation purposes, and although I lost 1 pound total in August, the changes in my body from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 were really striking. So, thankfully, working out like a crazy person in August did *something* - just not something that the scale shows. And I fit into a size 10 as of this morning. ! Craziness; the last time I weighed 175, I wore a size 14. Definitely put into perspective the importance of body composition.

On that note, here's to a great week to all.

Great Job, Yunalee!

Binatangmerah, it sounds as though you're at the finish
line; you're almost at your goal weight. Congrats!

Well guys, I think just being busy and having less time for boredom eating has treated me well. I'm down to 189lbs

sorry for not showing up on time for the last few weeks, was on vacation and came back almost 3 lbs heavier! yuuuukkkkkk!!!!
i seriously have to watch my food and exercise again before ruining all my original efforts in weight loss!

yunalee

hey guys it's that tie of the week again.

i finally started to try and get back on track, my food is still off, but i started trying to get more exercise since Tuesday.

i also had a change of scale and i'm back to using my wii fit for my weigh-ins.

i also think i should of double checked my weight last week, but then again the day before last week i had too much coffee so my motabalism must of been threw the roof.

i also signed up for a zumba and tai chi class that start in 2 weeks to get me going again, and also going to see if i can go swimming once a month as well.

i hope to gt to 200 lbs by the end of the year!

Hola, all, I hope everyone had a great week!

Yunalee - sounds like you're firmly back in the saddle. I admire your persistence - I know you'll get to where you want to be.

I'm very happy to have lost a pound, and am happy to say that week 2 of *not* logging my food has been successful in that I'm still losing weight. I'm no less mindful of eating/portions, and how many calories I'm at, it's just that I don't log it in to a computer every day. I never wanted to log food for the rest of my life. After a year and a half of logging, I really wanted to see if I could (safely) remove the training wheels. So far, so good, although I'll definitely go back to it should my weight go up, weight loss stall, or something like that. Note that this is not by any means a judgement on 'lifelong loggers,' it's just not something I want to to do forever.

That's my lil update; happy Friday to everyone!
