September/October weight loss challenge

[Catrin]

129.4 this morning.

Thanks for keeping up the spreadsheet Possegal!. BTW, what is the cat wearing on her head in your avatar? I love the photo, it always makes me smile - but have always wondered what it actually is.

slow but better than nothing. Must get 'life' taken care of to get back to working out and riding. I SO hate all those errands that just won't go away.

Now that I'm done fussin' put in me at 141 today.

Thanks for your time Possegal and I hope everyone is coming right along.

Wrong direction, but I'm taking it considering the last two weeks:
153.

Thanks!

151.8 Same as last week, spot on. I've eaten more crap, but gotten more exercise, so I guess it evens out.

Now the plan is to reduce the crap so that I can see some movement on the scale for the next week!

Holysnot! We FINALLY closed on our house and moved last week, so it's been a little crazygonuts around the pinkstead!

Today I'm at 144.5. I don't even remember if that's up or down right now!

-- gnat!

41 months ago my oldest sibling was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer. It has a median survival of 23 months. (so she's kicking its butt!). In the early months, when we all felt so unbelievably helpless, we did several things to try and alleviate that feeling. (one was forming our Livestrong Challenge cycling/running team). The other was to buy and wear these bracelets that say "Expect Miracles" on them. I ordered a batch of them (two different styles) and then had to take some pictures to send around to the family and friends, so they could see them and decide what one they wanted. My cat Bailey (who has since died of cancer himself) modeled the thinner bracelet for everyone, and also to show his support for my sister. That pic still makes me smile, despite all the 'cancer' talk in the story that goes along with it.

I know this is in the middle of the Sept/Oct Weight Loss Challenge, but started Weight Watchers - on my own on September 27th weighed in at 226#, one week later October 4th I weighed 222#. Bought a good scale this week. I eventually want to start jogging. My weight loss goal is to lose 55# by my 55th birthday April 30th.

surgtech1956 - did you want me to add you into our chart? I did already but let me know if you didn't want me to and I can take you back out. And congrats on your loss so far and I love your goal!!
