WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[limewave]

We just got invited to a friend's for New Year's and there's going to be a hot-tub involved. I didn't think I'd have to worry about wearing a swimsuit for at least 6 more months!

It's time to put things in triple gear and hit those weight machines!

Oh Lynette - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Grieve for as long as it takes. Just one day at time is all we can do. I lost my dog in August and I still miss her. ((Hugs)).

Doing good this week. Four days of clean eating and working out and I'm feeling good. Just 3 more months of this and I should be in good riding shape

Haven't written in a while, I hurt my back so I have not been able to do any form of exercise. I even tried walking which hurt it more. I have been trying to stretch and do yoga as it is a muscle imbalance but that has made it worse too. Even tried E-stim at work and heat which made it hurt more So i pretty much stopped everything and it slowly is starting to feel better. So, to make a long story short I am up 1#, and not eating the best. Weill get back on track

Sorry about your back. It is hard to slow down sometimes. Hope you are feeling better and getting back on track!

Well, my friends, I am definitely back!

First, and foremost, let me begin by thanking everyone for their support. I really did need some time to grieve the loss of my precious kitty.

But now I am much better. I still haven't been logging my food or exercise, but I am definitely back on track. I had a killer swim practice tonight - one of those practices where your arms hurt so much that you can't even lift them up to wash your hair after practice. And tonight for dinner I had fish, potatoes and green beans.

So I am feeling good about my weigh-in tomorrow. I am back wanting to be at "140 point something". I haven't made it there yet.

I'll post tomorrow morning after I weigh in.

I couldn't see an obvious new thread for the weight loss challenge, but there were no posts for the last couple days, and a few people were interested in changing threads each week. If that happened, I hope somebody comes back here and finds me!

If I'm found: Kudos to everyone who's sticking with it despite the dreaded holidays!

I've been swamped at work, but we just finished a major milestone and I'm back. The water weight was water weight, and dropped off, but then I had several encounters with ollalieberry pie and cream of artichoke soup.

But they weren't fatal encounters. I'm at 166, but that's still down 4 lbs from the 170 I started at. And today I rode almost 65 miles, which is far for me. Can't even use up all the points that Weightwatchers said I get for that!

Lynette--glad you're starting to feel better after loss of loved kitty. It is tough to lose a pet, especially to have to make that final decision when you know they're in pain.

Limewave--why hasn't anybody made a horror film called, "Attack of the Swimsuits?" THAT would be a scary one!
