TE Fall Weight Loss Challenge - Sept/Oct

[firenze11]

Does anyone else get a craving for candy corn when you view this chart? No? Just me? Figures!

Now I do!

Part of me hates it part of me loves it. I get one little baggie a year and that leaves me satisfied until next year.

Me too! (it may be time for me to get that little bag!)

I was at the grocery store the other day and was very chagrined to see that it is candy corn season, because I LOVE it!!! I will have to try to resist or all my efforts to lose weight will be for naught!

yum candy corn. if you mix some candy corn and some blanched peanuts together, tastes like a Payday, double yum

150....sigh
At this rate, I will not make my goal. On a positive note, I am losing and not going in the other direction AND the support on this page has really helped me! Why, then, am I hungry ALL of the time?

Effects of diuretic are over but still losing--even slowly but at least still going downward.

140 Whoohoo! At this time next week, I should be back down below my "highest acceptable weight" which is 139.

I started the week having gained two pounds doing the MS 150, and I was really careful about not overfueling, so that was discouraging. My theory, not supported by any scientific backing, is that when you do hours more exercise than your body is used to, it says "EEK, We are obviously being chased by predators! Conserve calories and fluids for extra energy later!" Kind of like when people go on crash diets and their bodies think it is famine time. Anyway, that is my theory.

I was careful this week, didn't do any crazy dieting and didn't do a lot of exercise, but still am down 3 pounds since Monday, so it obviously wasn't real fat weight, must have been fluids. I would not have been as motivated to get it off if I didn't know I was weighing in this morning.

Hello Ladies,

Well, I am right on track - 140.2 this morning!

Everything is just clicking right now - I hope I can continue this trend and get this weight off once and for all!!

BTW - the chart looks great - Thanks GLC!

137.0 this week. I was very happy to see this on the scale this morning! Thought for sure I would have gained this week, it's been very stressfull and I've eaten like cr#p.

Our dog went lame late Monday night and I've been home from work since then. He's getting better, but I'm not sure how much better he can get. He's on Prednisone, which he's been on before, and he's up and walking again. He's only 6 1/2 yrs old and was diagnosed with stenosis and 2 cycsts all at C1 & C2 when he was 23 months old. OK enough of that, sorry for the hijack.

173.2 today.

Even though I am up a bit, I'll take it considering I ate junk a lot this past week- including candy corn!

[firenze11]

141.8, less than a pound but I'll take it.

And I'm going to the store today, I'm sure a bag of candy corn will be included. And eaten in moderation ( I hope!)

[limewave]

Today 180 -- up a little, but that's to be expected with a badly sprained ankle

I have set a new goal for myself this edition of WLC. It is to maintain my current weight or gain no more than 2 lbs.

Because . . .

I'm PREGNANT
