154. Minute change, but change even so and in the right direction. Four pounds in two weeks? Do-able, right?

This week I've gone back up some more, to a more realistic 54.5kg (120.0lb) though that still means I've achieved goal for this challenge which (oops) I see is coming to an end in but 2 short weeks!

I am going to leave the challenge because I am off to camp for the rest of the summer and won't be able to check in anymore...my final weigh in stayed the same at 185 lbs.

Well only a small weight loss to report today.  I dropped 0.8 of a pound.  I'm not discouraged though, at least it's in the right direction.  My new weight is 178.8.
That leaves me with 1.8 lbs left to lose by challenge end.  Completely doable but I will have to be good.

well still going in the wrong direction.

Current weight 128.9, up 1.2.

I want to start heading down again but I am not too worried, this is a life time journey and there are going to be ups and downs, I just don't like accepting the "ups" when it comes to my weight.

I have a question about the chart.  How come there is no orange showing on it?  I was looking forward to turning orange but I see that my name is still yellow.

sqzee, I know you are traveling, are you staying in a hotel? If so they most likely have one in the gym/work out room? If you are staying with friends are you near any hotels? No one would notice if you just walk in nonchalantly and used the scale, they would just assume you're a guest.

No I am staying in our apartment. I just don't have access to a scale, and even if I did it wouldn't be first thing in the morning that I could wiegh myself so it wouldn't be a correct number. But we might buy a new scale so I don't know...

"Yes" Hopefully NIR usually runs things. I volunteered to run this one. It involves using an excell spread sheet and uploading onto this site.
He is always looking for volunteers:grin:

Sorry for the lack of posts recently.. been working alot now and so been very busy.

At least work has continued to help me lose more pounds.

I am now at 203lbs. I might not reach my goal.. but I still have come a long way from when I was 235lb back in February during the first challenge.

Amazing drop and I can definately feel the difference now.. with 32 pounds gone.

173  which is up a pound from last week.

I'm quite sure I didn't actually gain a pound of fat as I haven't eaten enough to do that but the scale says what it says........

Only one week to go and I am going to work my butt of this week because I want to get to my goal darnit!!!

Yes!  I did it! 176.8!  And I still have almost a week to go.  I'm sure that I can knock off another pound.  I don't know why everything is working so well this time around,  it just seems easier somehow.  Maybe I'm just more motivated.  There is nothing quite like success to motivate you!
