Just got back from vacation and the scale does not look good. I hope it looks better in the morning.

To bad for me, that I will be starting this challenge out in the whole. :nono:

Ok, Mondays weigh in for me is: 125lbs - not to bad for just getting back from vacation.

So, one pound gain for me this week.

Hope to take that off plus some this coming week. :wink:

Great job Patchers! Keep it going!

Everyone else, keep it up! :chewing: You guys are positively AMAZING!

:nono: My scale seems to be going in the opposite direction though. I don't understand why my weight is showing up 0.5 to 1 pound more! I guess I just need to work a bit harder. Plus, I REALLY need a new scale. This one has a crack down the middle, and I can't tell what on earth it's pointing too when the numbers are so close together.

:dizzy: ANYWAY! Weight today, 145.5

Hopefully I will never see that number again. EVER!:angry:

I jumped on my mechanical scales [repeatedly, breaking them to death] for exactly the same reasons. It was a public execution, and tremendously therapeutic. :grin:

Thanks Butterfly for the kind words.  They mean a lot.  As for the cracked scale, I suggest a public execution with a replacement by a digital one with nice big numbers that leave no doubt what your weight is.

Oh, no problem! :smile: 

Yes, But I might make it a privet execution. I can imagine it now; my mom walking in with my taking a hammer to the scale.:confused: That might lead to awkward questions about mental stability. :wink: I guess I'll check in with her if we can get new scales.

Lots of love!

PS All of you are so great! I just realized I smiled the whole time I was reading all the posts and writing this one! :thumbsup::heart:

Today's weigh in, 166.6lb down 1.4---not quite the 1.5 I was hoping for but maybe I can make up for it this week. I am increasing my activity, mainly walking.

Weigh-in:  129 lbs

Well, at least I'm back to where I was last week at the start of this challenge.  I ate some peanut butter cookies (the devil!) this weekend and erased all progress I had made, going from 126 lbs to 130 lbs!  So, I held off on weighing myself until today, and I'm back at 129 lbs.  I'll take it.

Hi Nir,

My 3 pound loss posted on the morning of the 7th doesn't seem to be reflected in the updated chart.  Sniff!  I worked awfully hard for that loss!!!

Current weight 263

That was my main problem... drinking. I mean I am 22 come on! What else am I gonna do with my friends at a festival??? J/K The good thing is we all like subs so we ate a lot of those.  Even witha  little bit of mayo they are better than a meal from Mc D's.

I'd like to join!

My starting weight (on June 28) would have been 168 and my goal is 157.

My weighins will be Wednesday.

I was waiting for a new challenge, and then I quit paying attention to these boards.

:lightbulb: Tip: If anyone is looking at a table that looks out-of-date (as was the case in Patcher's experience), you can tell by the 2nd line which says when the table was last updated. You can request that you browser obtains the latest version of the table by hitting the F5 key.
