I've started doing this, too! 200-calorie snacks/meals, mostly, and it's really keeping my blood sugar even.

I'm down just shy of 20 pounds since September, and I think a good bit more than that since I joined the forum here.

Possegal, do you have the old-old-old sheets showing where we were a year or more ago?

Thanks. This forum has really been hugely inspirational. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your keeping the records, Possegal.

It's funny - I'm losing gradually, so the people I see all the time haven't really noticed, but every now and then I'll run into a friend whom I haven't seen in several months and they're blown away by the change. Of course, it's all relative. I'm still waaaaaaay overweight, but you know what my big realization was recently? I'm no longer 100 pounds overweight.

I don't know what my ideal weight actually is, but I know 125 is too low for me. I'm thinking 140, and if the 2 lbs per week keeps going, I could actually reach that this year. That's amazing to me, and attainable, thanks to this community. Thank you all for that.

I'm going to need a new picture soon. My current avatar is looking less and less like me every week. <g>

Roxy, I find your posts motivational. I didn't have as much to lose as you, so I can imagine it is a tough climb to stay with it. But you always sound so cheerful and positive, and when I see your avatar pic, you look so joyful and I feel inspired by what you have accomplished. Make sure your new pic captures that same spirit.

I've lost 25 pounds since this time last year. That's 10% of my body weight. Thank you!

Sharon, thank you for those kind words, too. It really is all relative, though. I'm still in the 200+ group. I've got a long way to go yet.

168.

Yippee! Still making progress! 213.6 this week, which means I've kept loosing nearly a pound a week for a month! Long way to go yet to reach my ultimate goal, or even the goal for this challenge, but I can see progress and I can feel progress too in how my fitness is improving (slowly).

This is tough.

150.5, halfway

**Over50Newbie** · 02-20-2010, 09:20 AM

Please put me down for 147.

Thanks,

Lynette

**bikerHen** · 02-20-2010, 12:34 PM

I'm down to 189!

I'm thinking about getting one of those fancy scales that show fat percentages, muscle mass, ect. I did do a search, but searching is not my strength and I couldn't find anything. So do any of you have one? Are they worth the bucks? Good brands? Bad brands? Thanks bikerHen

**PinkBike** · 02-20-2010, 03:34 PM

142.6 - back in the right direction

bikerhen - i have a taylor body fat scale, but i dont take much stock in its accuracy. readings are too sporadic.

congrats to all you who are consisting losing weight.

**Possegal** · 02-20-2010, 04:12 PM

Sorry for the delay today. Had to go to a funeral.

Yucky day!

I apologize for being late as well. It also was a bad week. Couldn't stay out of the chocolate I bought DH for Valentine's Day. My Bad!

155 Ewwwwwwwwwwww

Roxy, you are doing great!

**azfiddle** · 02-21-2010, 05:17 AM

Bikerhen,
we have a Tanita scale that my daughter left with us when she went to spend the year in England. It seems to be pretty reliable and gives the fat percentage. You program it for your age and gender. And it keeps telling me I'm losing weight, so I'm happy
