I don't believe the numbers the scales are reading, well not literally anyway, but I'm willing to concede that I'm not 53.5kg anymore so this week let's call it 53kg (116.7lb) which means I've reached the modest 2lb goal I set for this challenge. (It would be nice to believe numbers I see on the scale but the most I can say when I see weight X is that it is unlikely to jump back up by more than 3lb the following few days - see graph for illustration of this very point. For some wierd reason I'm currently hovering at the low end of my fluctuation range. I just can't let myself think that I'm really 51.5kg because as soon as I do it will jump back up and screw with my head.)

I had a very weird week. Early in the week I went up 3 pounds over night and it gradually came back down towards the end of the week. I finished the week at
269.8
I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it, but I started hitting the weights pretty hard last week.

Was on vacation all last week and weighed in today at 187 lbs on the mark. Glad I was able to maintain despite all the food I ate!

Well I 'm back from 10 days vacation and I am up 1.5 lbs. I am not that upset about the gain, let's just say I "earned" it  . Actaully this week is going to be even more of a challenge, I have 2 biirthday parties, one of them mine, an all day concert and an outing with my nephews (which always means a stop for ice cream  ) and unlike last week, I won't be hiking and biking all day so I am going to have to be a lot more careful.
Current weight 133.5
Looks like I will be in the pink for some time to come

I thought for sure i posted this update last thursday..but i Guess i did not!
8-6-09 8:00 am
341.80lbs
Needless to say I'm very happy with my progress! Although i wish i could see more of a difference in the mirror. But i suppose for now I'll have to go by what the scales say to see my progress.
I've also come to the realization that each pound i lose is more of a difference on my body than the last. So the next 50 pounds will mean a lot more in the mirror than the first 50!

60,2kg (132.7 lb)
I'm very very happy with that. Only 400g than my weight for last time but I have had a bad week/couple of days and have only the last 2-3 days been able to get back on track. So  And I have about 2-3 weeks to get to my goal weight for this challegne by the end.

The mirror lies. Either that or we have a problem somewhere between our eyes and our brains. I've lost 46 pounds so far and I don't see much of a difference in the mirror. I've gone from size 48 pants to being able to fit uncomfortably in a size 40. You'd think a change like that would be more obvious. Then again, I never really noticed a difference when I was adding those 46 pounds.

| clagger, I've lost just short of 90lbs, and some days I feel like the same size as I started. Changing your body does not neccisarily change your perception of yourself. Keep up the great work, I bet other people are noticing the change and pretty soon you'll be able to see a difference too!

I know a way that will make you SEE an instant weight loss especially after all the weight you've lost. Try on the size of clothes you wore before you lost 50lb.......they will be hanging off you now!!! Now each time you look in the mirror and think 'there's no difference' remember how good you felt when you seen the clothes 'hanging' from your body. Your body is changing and don't let any 'negative' thought get in the way of your progress.
Let me know if you try this.....and well done on your progress so far.

Ughh, I got sick for a few days and went down to like 109 lbs, and have been over-eating since I got better... And I've been eating too many doughnuts!! My mom won't stop buying them! 
Up to at least 115lbs now.
I haven't been exercising either...
Hopefully I can turn things around before my weight keeps escalating. This always seems to happen. Up down up down up down up down... AHH!!!
I already had a doughnut today.

two days till my weigh in and my wt is up today, fluctuations are NUTS!!!!! I can agree with all of your comments folks....some days i feel like nothing has changed, then i go and look thru my closet and go thru everything, trying it all on and see how most all of it bags and sags and falls off my hips or shoulders and doesnt stick around the middle and i see the changes in my physique. Its an amazing way to see the change and it does work.
So far my total loss since I began this adventure is 36pds. I have lost about 25inches from the whole body as well.
(But I still look in the mirror and see the wiggles and jiggles too!!!!!)
I was told however by a stranger at wal mart that i was "tiny" when we were discussing summer halter tops and my father just saw me after not seeing me since mothers day and he said how "skinny i am getting!"
So, i guess its working, i just dont know how long it will take my brain to and eyes to see it. ???

| Ok, 132.3 this morning on the wii fit. I am going to switch back to the regular scale when the new challenge starts. My scale weighs about 3lbs more then my wii does. So, the next challenge will be a little harder to swallow the numbers the scale tells me.

Clagger, you have blown your goal right out of the water, you must feel great about what you have accomplished. We all need to find joy in our success and how we measure that is an individual thing. Glad you ar eenjoying your milestones.

I just wanted to comment here about some of the recent postings. I think many of us have distorted body images in our brains, thanks to many factors. I tend to go back and forth in my thinking. One week I can look in the mirror and feel pretty good about what I'm seeing. I definitely look different and better now than I did when I was 80 or so pounds heavier. But then there are those weeks when I look in the mirror and I feel totally disgusted with my body and think " well you've lost 80 pounds and you're still a fat cow." My crazy thinking is definitely one of the hardest things to overcome with weight loss.
Anyway.... I would say that we are too hard on ourselves. Losing weight is by no means easy and it truly is an accomplishment. I applaud all of you who are losing, please don't give up, I'm certainly not going to.

| 133.2 Hoping to get that down this week with some dedication to a routine and schedule. Last week has been a Dr Jekle/ Mr Hyde senario diet wise. Part of the time I follow a raw food diet and the other part each junk food. No way to explain it really, it's more of good intentions followed by "life happening", but I definately feel the monster coming out on occasion.

No FREAKING change again.
That would've been stronger language, but it would've censored me anyway I think. One more no-change week and I think I'll have a freakout.

Well, I'm down one pound
My current weight is 132.5 but I am still in the pink.
It doesn't look like I am going to get out of the pink this time but I haven't given up so actually I kow it could be so much worse. I just really need to string a few good weeks together here and that would get me going. I really want to see 123 by Christmas which I know I can do but if I want to do that I need to start now....I am not a fast loser so I need extra time  .

(I'm posting a day late, as if it was still Monday). This week I'm finally brave enough to post 52.5kg (115.6lb) which means I've exceeded my challenge goal (which was set at a very modest 0.25lb a week).
Yes, I am aware that updating the challenge graphic is now down to me, I am very busy but will get around to it I promise.

hello all!
its tuesday, and i failed to report this week. Sorry! I am sad to say that i have to post a gain. I know I know....this summer has been nuts with family, i am stressed and eating too much....argh....and the last few days took a toll on me. I am suffering now believe me.
BUT! I do have to say this, i saw my doctor yesterday, did the weigh in thing, and i came in at 163. My last visit to them was in March and I was then 174, so that is a great loss for me! However, the home scale I go against isnt matching, never has and I am posting from that not the doctor. I just had to share the difference in weigh ins at dr visits, cuz i am really impressed at my progress in such a short time.
So, here is my official weigh in for last week, that would have been for Saturday.....160. :( I know, up two pds... argh....
I know, I am sad about it, but hey, my body isnt unhappy and it is just a number. I cant not eat and avoid the foods i love, i just have to keep working on moderation. I am hopeful that i will go back down at least to the 158 i had held onto....but then, if i dont, like i said i am ok and excited to hear people say i am skinny! or thin! :)
All in all, I am happy with my loss since i started this, and yes, i do see a difference in the shape of my body and how i look, i just dont see it all the time!

BJD, you are making great progress, the fact that you can see a gain and still be okay is a huge step forward. I really believe you are absolutely right, it is important to learn to eat all foods but in moderation, that is so much easier said than done I know....having been on a cake eating binge recently but it truly is the base on which to build a good health lifestyle, or at least that is my opinion. Keep up the great attitude and I know you will get where you want to be.

I am VERY happy to post this one! I killed myself on the treadmill and bike for a week straight to see if the extra excersise would make a difference and it did!!!
8-20-09 8:00am
332.00lbs
Thats a total of 6pounds last week!! I think i might give the working out a day or two rest.. last week kicked my butt. But I am glad to see that the amount I try directly affects the amount i lose.
If you guys want to see before and after pictures so far of the 65lbs ive lost total check out http://www.caloriesperhour.com/forums/forum31/9253.html. Its a link to my diary on this same forum. I have 3 pictures up there spanning about 1.5 months in time..So it doesn't cover the whole 65lbs but about 35 of it or so.

159 today. I will take it. :) Have a great day team!
We are almost done with this challenge!? Wonder whats on the horizon?? :) Next time, i need to make my goal smaller, so that i dont end up without a win at the end. Its just too stressful to make these bigger than 3-5 pd losses happen in my daily practice and i defeat myself... Next time its gonna be reasonable for me and my progress... :)
To all of you who are able to reach those larger goals, good for you! I envy your willpower, committment and drive! :)

Good Morning Everyone:
166 this morning.
Yippee I made my challenge of loosing a lb. a month. Very small goals but I would rather make a small one than fail on a larger one.
Good luck to all of you.

I am not going to make my goal but I am closer than I thought I would be so that's great! I do not take the goal so seriously, as long as consitent progress is being made then I'm happy.
Good luck to everyone else!
