UGh, no AC, I know how bad that is! Glad they are coming out to fix it.

One of these links should work.

Yay Roxy, I'm glad you had a good time!

On the weight front, I'm down 0.5 lb to 155.5

Gahhh. I was hoping to be able to very happily announce that starting Monday I'd be down a lot more weight, because I'd get to take off my back brace for good (err, of course I've been weighing myself without the brace on, but you get my drift).

But I just heard from my neuro Dr, and, nooooooooooo, he wants me to keep wearing the g-d brace until after my final CT scan on Monday and after I see him for what I hope to be our final appt, which is not until freakin' July 8.

I am not a happy camper. <-- see?

Bah, I'm cranky and I want a beer. Now, dammit, not in an hour.

Oh Jobob that stinks! I can't imagine. I was in a knee immobilizer for 6 weeks years back and I couldn't wait to get that off. A back brace would be that times 1000 in the annoyance factor. Here's to a great CT and a beer ASAP.

I love reading everyone's stories. The success inspire me, the frustrations make me feel a bit less alone in the battle. Thank you all for sharing!

140.6 - I think that's the same. I've started doing intervals on my bike 4x a week. I've heard that intervals can sometimes break through a weight loss plateau. We'll see

Slightly down - 152.9 lb Posting weight is OK, but measurements.....eek! I have more incentive to lose now. Got an invitation to a "formal" wedding. Have no "formal" attire, so have until Nov to lose at least a few pounds (dare I say "my goal weight") so I can find something non-stretchy that will fit, feel good on and look OK. This yo-yo-ing will have to stop!

For the past three days, I've been weighing in at 141.

Not totally sure if it's "real" weight as it doesn't seem I could have gained that much that fast given that I haven't seriously fallen off the wagon or anything.

I also did just get a new scale which seems more accurate than the old one (measures in .2 lb increments and when I weigh myself three times in a minute, it gives me the same response each time, unlike the old one, which could never really settle on a weight)...

Still, .

I did not do very well on this challenge, and am trying a whole new approach. I am following the Normal Eating for Normal Weight book, and also joined the group on their website normaleating.com. I am fed up with losing .5 pound, putting on 2, losing another .25, and doing this over and over. I am also tired of eating just because it is 7 AM, and I might get hungry in the next hour, but I am not really hungry now. I realized that I have no idea what hunger is anymore, and how little food it takes to be satiated.

I cannot recommed this book enough for anyone who has struggled with weight issues for a long time, like myself.

Sorry for the delay ladies. I was in Puerto Rico for a science meeting (not a bad way to spend a few days). I managed to run a few times, but no biking or swimming. And given the whole resort thingy, not very good with my eating. Not looking forward to my next weigh in!

I'll get the page set up for the next 2 month challenge over the holiday weekend. Look for a thread to be started for July/August and let me know who all is playing along again for another 8 weeks!

Final weight for this challenge is 153.12 lb Will try the next challenge with the same goal of 145 lb. Thanks Possegal for maintaining the spreadsheet and committing for another stint.

Didn't weigh in last week because germy-germs kept me away from the gym. This week cruel hormones have me up to 66.2kgs again. I'm sure next week's numbers will be much more bearable.

[Reesha]

Same goal for me as well... 148!

Also can you make a spot on the spread sheet for measurements way off to the right? I'd love to have a place to track them.

[txred9876]

final weight.... 248.2!!!!

I am so excited because I thought for sure with the lack of exercise and a little stress eating (because of the red area that we still do not know for sure if its the lymphedema, celulitis - because of the lyphedema or the cancer returning) that I had went back up over 250.

My next goal is 240.

thanks for keeping the stats!

back down to 139. I am not going to blow my diet this weekend. I am not going to blow my diet this weekend. I am not going to blow my diet this weekend .

Updated for yesterday! Congrats to those that reached or were close to their goals. You all really do inspire me. All of you do, actually. Everyone's attitude really helps me keep trying!

Tina - good luck with the outcome of your tests. I understand a bit that anxiety. My sister scans every 4 months and we live in 4 month intervals of cycling stress. I'm praying for a good outcome for you!
Limewave - you made me hungry, that sounds like a great meal. Happy Anniversary!

I'm in for the next round. Weighed 144 again yesterday. My goal for next time is 140. That will be my official Weight Watchers goal!

And, then I'm gonna shoot for another 10 below that--don't care how long it takes me.
