Today's weigh-in:  114.6Ibs

I actually thought I gained weight, so I was upset and ate too much today. Really clever, I know. :tongue: But tomorrow will be better...

Well guys and girls,
I'm still at 131 :cow:, but I just started my period today so I'm really bloated.  And, well needless to say, I went on a crazy chocolate binge a few days ago (every month-never fails).  So I am hoping that next week will be double the weight loss!  Wish me luck.  I'm gonna take some Midol now and go curl up into a ball.

- Congrats to everyone on their weight loss.  Looks like you are all doing an awesome job.  Keep up the good work!

Well, I'm  checking in just in time to still be Saturday. Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that my scale is broken. While safe to assume that I've crushed it,:shock: I'll just say that it's no longer providing a final weight report and simply displays "Err" after calculating random numbers before shutting off. I thought it was me at first, as I am just so close to it's threshold, but as the week wore on, it's failure became more and more common. I let a few other people, considerably lighter, try it out, and they ended up getting the same results. So unfortunately, I'm now in the market for a new scale, and so I won't be able to report my weight loss for the week, and possibly next week's too. On the plus side, I will be here in spirit and cheering all of you lighter folk on!

Sorry to hear that, Forehunnerd.

One of our local grocery stores here has a scale in the pharmacy department where you can weigh yourself for a quarter. I'm sure there's someplace like that around you where you could go once a week to weigh yourself.

Regardless, keep it up! You're doing great. :cool:

I've seen those scales, and I don't think they're meant for people who weigh as much as three. I'll keep an eye out, and worst case scenario, if I can't find a suitable scale, I'll see if . I can't find another way. Thanks for the encouraging words too! :smile::smile:

Scale suddenly pointing to about 132 for this time's weekly weight-in, bit scared I lost muscle, but hopefully water weight. I've been trying to keep consistent on the calorie intake though.

Today's official weigh in: 262 :down_arrow: 2 pounds.

I took it a little easier last week on exercise, and ate lots of yummy things. It was great to have a bit of a break. Time to buckle down again! :cool:

Oh, and Forehunnerd, I personally use the Biggest Loser scale. I bought it at Target. It goes up to 400 pounds. It greatly varies, though, even if you move it just a little bit in the same room. I just weigh myself at different parts of the room and take an average when I weigh.

New pants-adjusted weight 138.

I've crossed the magical line and get to get rid of the huge pants for my future weigh-ins.  Bye Bye Britches.

May I update my weight again? I know it's so soon but the scale finally shifted in my favour - 124.6lb

Which is officially my lowest [adult] weight to date.

I'm at 163.2, :down_arrow: 1.2.

This challenge is really helping me stay on track, breaking it down into small increments really helps.

Sure Maggie, it is not too late.

ps I notice there are at least 4 names who haven't updated in 14 days - I'll be removing them shortly (yes they'll be reinstated if they come back)
