I really want to cheat and say I made my goal a week early, but I'll be honest.

265.2

I'm going to 'bank' another half-kilo loss, this week announcing my weight as 52kg (114.5lb). As the graph below shows I've actually had the odd reading that was even lower but I'm something of a pessimist as far as these challenges go.

Checking in late -

167 

Same weight for weeks.  Unless I starve myself and exercise 10 hours every day this week I will not meet my goal. Even following that crazy plan probably wouldn't get me to my goal anyway.   I'm not going to be doing that so I will not be meeting my challenge goal.  I will however try to actually lose something this week.

Well, it official, this is my last weigh in for this challenge and I up from where I started :shock:. I don't think that is how it's suppose to work :confused:.

I have not done well on the last couple of challenges so I really need to get my head back into it. I always struggle in the summer :cone::birthday_cake::pizza::palms: but this year has been particularly bad. I've just let myself slip too many times plain and simple.

Well, I sure hope there is another challenge because even though I have gained weight I know it would have been so much worse without this accountability. At least with the fall coming it gets a little easier for me :rainbow:, fortunately I love soups :yum: and as long as I stay away from the creamed ones they are pretty low in calories and i can find them at all my favorite restaurants since I eat so often that can be a challenge too. .

Current weight 134.5 :sad: 

Please tell me there will be another challenge.?

Hiker, there's always another challenge around the corner. Next one will start on September 1st (so unless you're going away you might squeeze another weigh-in into these challenge?)

Ok time to fess up.  I have been gaining weight, especially these last few days.  I've struggled with my hormones and thyroid and trying different supplements and herbs to help me feel better.  It almost seemed like for 3 days I gained a pound each day.  And while I ate some junk food I didn't binge or eat large quantities of food. 

So for me, this challenge turned into one where I gained weight.  While I feel bad about that, I am happy that I learned which herbs probably contributed to that effect.

And as always I am happy that I learned something.

Weight is 135.0

Hey Sassykat, you are not alone, I gained during this challenge too but my feeling is if I had not entered the challenge I would have done a lot worse....beleive me in the past I have. Like you said if learn something about ourselves or how foods effect us then we can be happy knowing we may not be thinner but we are wiser (LOL). We'll get it next time :grin:

Ok, I know I haven't been posting much...been real busy.

But, my ending weight for the challenge is 135lbs according to my wii fit.... I am going to join the new challenge with my scale weigh in (which is higher). I don't use the wii much anymore and it takes to long to get it out just to weigh in....

So, that is the plan...hope the new challenge starts soon....

Well, I actually gained weight this week (hoping it's mostly water weight), but I still met my goal. I'm happy with that. Final weight is:

123.4

Looking forward to the next challenge. Great job everyone! :smile:

Finally got another pound off..........

Final weigh in for this challenge is 166.

I fell short of my challenge goal by 3 pounds.  Not too bad I suppose.  I'm glad to at least have lost some.    Thanks for the challenge!

I reached my goal, but I sure did slow down to a crawl for the last couple of weeks. Anyway, thanks to John and Nir for running this challenge.

I weighed in at 112lbs this morning, but it was after breakfast with my pajamas on. So I'd say 111.5lbs for my final weigh in! :smile:

Thanks for the challenge!

The total team loss for this challenge is showing nearly 120 pounds.  How awesome is that?  Pretty awesome!!:grin:

Congrats to everyone who lost weight during this challenge.   I truly applaud your efforts!   I know it's not an easy journey but truly a journey worth taking. 

Some didn't lose or even gained during this challenge.  I give you kudos for trying and hope that you will come back to the next challenge ready to keep fighting.   

Thanks again for the challenge!    I'm feeling super motivated today and I'm gonna take advantage of it with a strong workout!

Great job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That means I gained during this challenge, but I'm sure it would have been more without this to keep me accountable.

Last year I really disliked announcing a low (probably unrepresentative) weight achieved at the end of a challenge only for my weight to jump straight back afterwards so I'd be spending the first month of the challenge just achieving the starting weight I already took for granted. I became more pessimistic, devising all sorts of system (such as calling my weight as the highest weight I've been all week, refusing to acknowledge more than 1lb of loss in any one week, aware that I fluctuate within a 3lb range not reporting my weight any lower than 3lb higher than the lower one I've seen).

With all that said, I still have to report a loss - this week I'm going to acknowledge that 51.5kg ( 113.4lb ) is closer to my current weight than any higher figures I've called in previous weeks. That's what I'm finishing on.

This probably means that even if I set a 1.1lb target for the next challenge (to lose down to 112.3lb) my calorie increase, energy boosting and muscle building objectives probably mean I'll be _up_ by the end of the challenge and showing in purple.

I've just weighed myself to start Nir's new challenge and am so shocked to see I've put on 4lb in one week!!!! I thought having the flu would make me eat less but I seem to be eating more and all the wrong things.

My final weigh in 156lb although I'm still recoving from the flu I have started new challenge today.

NOT A GOOD RESULT!!! but it's me who's putting the food in and making wrong choices no one else. Need to take control of my eating.

Hi MichelleP, see we're the only two in the 'yellow' band. Let's see if we can achieve our targets on the Halloween challenge.

Stick in.
