September/October weight loss challenge

**uk elephant** · 09-25-2011, 01:02 AM

219.6, just a little late with the reporting. Tough week at work and no time for exercise. Whenever I was tempted by snacks to keep going, reminded myself that getting fatter won't make work any less stressful. The mantra seemed to help. Hoping to do even better next week by getting some more exercise in too.

I was 138.2 this morning. That is a lot, but it could be worse, considering how little I have been exercising and how much I have been eating.

I'd like to join too... I have had some health issues and then just got plain lazy

I am at 172 right now and would like to be at 164 by the end of October... :

I am 139.6 this morning - the wrong direction. I have found that if I eat whatever I want to/feel like it works out to about 2500 calories a day - 300-400 more calories a day than I burn, even with cycling. In October, my goal will be to average less than 2000 calories a day. I really need to get my stress eating under control.

I am 116 this morning. The same as two weeks ago but less than last week. I don't know yet if I have broken my plateau.

Weight loss plateau's effect just about every one losing weight at the 6 to 9 month point. Here I am right on schedule in the ninth month. It is a risky time because the weight loss rewards are just not there.

152. It's going to be a miracle if I make my goal this challenge. Ah well, my clothes are fitting great!

231.4 this morning.

4 pounds down, total (for this challenge, anyway).

Almost half way to my goal!

Great job, Ellen! Are you still running? Wanna do a 5k together this winter?

I don't have a scale available to me (I'm traveling for work) but my last weigh in was on Tuesday at 147.3, so lets use that for this week. I'll be doing a Wednesday weigh in next week as well (traveling again), so this may be a trend for me!

224 for me this week! Would have been better, but had some dental work that knocked me out of exercise for a bit.

So far so good. My first week's weight in at WW was 161.2

That's key for me. Numbers are all well & good, but what really matters to me is how my pants are fitting. And I don't like them to be snug.
