I drank A LOT this weekend :oops: but in my defense I totally deserved to And I went to a greek festival and partook in all the delicious food. :oops: I'm not gonna weigh myself until the end of the week to let everything level out. Went shopping today and the clothes are all fitting good, so I think the damage was minimal.

exactly.
tomorrow i am back on track.
i needed this break, and tonight in particular, i needed this break from my reality.
i can only hope things get better from here.

Good job!! To you, and all the peeps!

Keep up the good work. And I'm with you, at the same as last week, but it's all good. Things that are much more important sometimes take precedence. Carry on!!

I'm going out of town for a week starting tomorrow on a vacation that has been planned for some time. Here's to hoping I don't eradicate any accomplishments to this point. Lost three more pounds although I fully expect to regain those--that was my 3 pound leeway to prepare for vacation.

Have a great week, all.

down 7.5 pounds total!
yes, i hit that last tuesday....then actually regained 1.5....but now back down to it, and on a monday....nice, positive way to kick off the week! AND i had a really enjoyable weekend in general, but definitely yummy foods and yes, drinks (back to drinking only on weekends)......so happy i could do all that AND still manage to lose 2 pounds over the last week.

you should measure yourself, sometimes that's even MORE satisfying than the #s on the scale.
i measure myself on the first of every month, keep track of it on my food/exercise jounral...it's nice to see and feel those changes definitely!
and really, my clothes started fitting WAY better, looser a lot quicker than the #s on the scale, and even with the loss, it's not all that much....so the inches really are what are making me happy.

eventually of course, i want to see BOTH a lot smaller.

getting there....

decides2dream · October 2011

oh, and bootcamp is kicking my ass 3 days a week.....and i LOVE it! just got home from my class....awesome!
i actually find i look forward to it

....NEVER thought that would happen. me, looking forward to exercise!

i'm converted!

i find it makes me feel GREAT, and it's also an awesome outlet/release from all the *other* bs in my life, cluttering my mind. one of the best decisions i've ever made....definitely glad i signed up, hope to go thru the end of the year then try to do on my own at home.

Thanks! I am back.

Good to see you that you and the others are doing well! And, I got back Saturday night, got on the scale this morning--lost 2 pounds while on vacation. Don't ask how that happened, because I have no idea. lolol. Anywho, yes, it's actually 14 lbs total, I think, since this thread. Since summer of 2009, it's 24 total. woot.

wow!!!
fantastic progress!
sometimes on vacation i think you're just so active, that even if you are indulging...it all shakes out in the end. clearly, it worked for you. :thumbup:

i am exactly where i was last week, down 7 pounds.
i HAD mid-week progress of an additional 2 pounds gone, but somehow, that didn't stick. :?
hopefully more progress on the horizon!

(oops, just looked back..i was actually down 7.5 last monday, eh well...so up a half.)

EmBleve · October 2011

progress is sure to come! Also, I see maintaining as progress in and of itself. :thumbup:

justam · October 2011

I haven't gained any weight, but I'm not shrinking much either. It's kind of frustrating...but then, my exercise schedule has really taken a hit since school started again. :P

It sucks how having to work a lot really interferes with my personal improvement projects!

It will happen in 2012 I will go shirtless on the beach this year!!

Just do it anyway!

Well after a lot of effort I lost 2 1/2 in 2 weeks, then put 1/2 back on. I think it's definately harder with age. I think I am just going to have to like my body this size and if I lose a little weight it's a bonus.

m0jorisen · October 2011

as of Monday i am down 53 lbs

comebackgirl · October 2011

I've been maintaining all the weight lost. 26 pounds in total...wouldn't mind losing 4 more just for a nice round number :P Exercise and diet have stayed consistent and I'm allowing myself an occasional indulgence.

woot woot! Great jobs people!! Keep up the good work.

I will be away for awhile, will check back in later, probably at least 10 lbs. lighter.

Sort of over some of the stuff around here for now. But best of luck!
