July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

[teigyr]

DDH, don't get too discouraged. I think sometimes it takes the scale a while to budge and then when it starts, it starts with a semi-vengeance. Just keep your head up and remember this is a new week.

berkeley, woohoo!!! I always fear the jeans test but when it comes out good, it is SUCH an awesome feeling! Congratulations

This is an attempt to show the goals we set (exercise and food) and the performance recorded. I pulled from each post items that were not weight pounds specific ... GCL has that. Does this make sense for everyone? I'm open to suggestions.

GCL, I converted my excel worksheet to pdf ... how did you insert your chart to show fully here and not just be an attachment?

Tabby: Thanks for doing that chart. I wasn't sure if we were still going to do this. I'll get my calendar out when I get home and load up my stuff. Great job! Yeah... GLC knows how to do the inserting the photo of the excel sheet.... I couldn't figure it out, either!

Btw, You guys recall I keep mentioning that I'm on a $200 jeans diet bet with my sister to lose 10 lbs by August 1st?? Forgot to update you that my sister called me about 2 wks ago, (we live a 6hr distance from each other) and says, 'Yeahh, you know.. let's just cancel the bet, cause I don't have $200 to lose right now.'
And I let her get away with it! Mostly cause she's such a sore loser, the win would be more hassle than it's worth. And the funny thing is she's the one who's needing to motivate to fit into a particular wrap dress for an august wedding. Ohh welll, the important thing is that I remain focused for my own goal , which is why i'm so delighted for GLC1968's W.L.C. for J/A! Thanks GLC1968

Wow, this is a busy challenge!!! I'm just back from vacation, sorry I didn't get a chance to post my weight before I left, but my starting weight on 7/4 was 163 (actually down 1 pound since the last week of the last challenge!!!!) No scale on vacation, so this Friday we shall see what I did to myself on vacation . . .

Oh man, extra-vert - don't thank me! You did the work...I just made a chart!

Speaking of which, Tabby - to get the chart to appear, I copy the cells I want (from Excel) into Paint and then I save it as a .jpg. Then I up load the .jpg to a photo server I use and post it like any other picture.

And Flybye, if you see this, I'm about to update you.

Day one of SBD is "done and dusted" (as a friend of mine is often saying). It went quite well and I'm feeling less bloaty already! Last night we hit the grocery store, so I'm even more prepped for the rest of the week.

I am going to be out of town starting tomorrow--Sunday so I won't be able to post my weight. My current weight is 150 which is up No matter how much I exercise and workout I can't seem to lose any weight. I wish it was all muscle mass, but it is not and my measurements have gone up. So discouraging.. The good thing is DH, some friends and I are going on a 5 day backpacking trip. I am looking so forward to getting away...YEAH

I'm just popping in to see how everyone is doing.

I've dropped out of the last 3 challenges! I was getting so frustrated with the numbers on the scale. I finally decided to ignore the numbers for once and to concentrate on eating healthy, balanced meals every day.

I was never able to meet my weightloss goals no matter what I did. Now I'm happy because I'm able to meet my healthy eating goals and am finally finding some success. I'm sure the weight will eventually follow, but for now, this is enough.

I just wanted to wish everyone luck on the July/August weight loss challenge!
