I restarted my program in early January and even with going on vacation for 10 days, I still lost 11.5 pounds for the month. Did a lot of walking on vacation. Wish I could lose this much every month.

"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can."

"One small step at a time."

That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.

Congrats to all the "losers" here and those who met the 5 lb. weight loss goal. I didn't measure up as a "loser" with 5 lbs. gone, but did lose 2 lbs. which is two more than I had lost before 1/1/11! So, I'm pleased with that since mid-month I experienced some down time with a respiratory thingy and a messed up knee. All considered I'm happy. Anything other than 0 is OK by me!

Starting weight Jan 2 - 350
Jan 9 - 348 (2 lbs lost)
Jan 14 - 347 (1 lb lost)
Jan 21 - 346 (1 lb lost)
Jan 30 - 346 (maintain)

Well, I lost 4 lbs in January. Not too bad, but was hoping for twice that amount. I'm just going to work harder in February.

Starting weight Jan 2 - 251.5
Jan 9 - 251
Jan 16 - 251 (maintained)
Jan 23 - 244 (down 7 so far)
Jan 30 Final Weight - 246

Total 5.5 loss. I was kind of bummed to see the scale "go back up" this last week but after such a huge loss the week before, I'm sure it's a water thing. What matters is I've been tracking all my food and I've learned a few lessons this month.

Congratulations to everyone who even tried, regardless of success or not, cause that's what PROGRESS is all about, yes??

Well, I did not lose 5 pounds in January. It has been a rough month - with this last week being even worse than usual. Maybe Feb will be better.

I was away this past week and my next weigh -in with WW will be on Tuesday and I will report my weight. I had lost 8 lbs since Dec 20th but I have counted 5 lbs for January as of 2 weeks ago. I just want to try and hold
my weight without gaining any. Everyone have a great Sunday and keep Sparking.emoticon

Great job Lainie AND Lindy! You're both such an inspiration. emoticon

It's 5:45 AM here in Texas (Sunday the 23rd) so I don't want to wake anybody messing with the scale now, but...I've had an angry tummy the past couple of days so I've consumed a lot less calories. Let's cross fingers that helps! I'll chime in with my numbers in a bit.

Great job again, ladies!

OK, it's Sunday morning here is Oz so here's my weigh in...
Starting weight
Jan 2- 105.0 kilos (sorry, don't do pounds!)
Jan 9 - 103.8
Jan 16- 102.9
Jan 23- 102.4
Jan 30 Final Weight

Yep, down another .5 kilo ( just over a pound).

Yay... that's 5.7 pounds down this month! And another week to go... let's hope I don't fall off the wagon!

Well Done to you too, Lainie!

Thank you, Pixie.

Tara, just put it behind you and get right back on track. Try drinking water with lemon in it to help get rid of the fluid retention. Take care!

I'll be weighing in tomorrow. I've been doing my walking and other exercise. I'm counting on a loss tomorrow.

Sorry I'm late checking in! I didn't eat very well but I did exercise portion control so it could have been worse. Looking to get more exercise (more than NONE) in this upcoming week so hopefully we'll see the scale go DOWN. I'm also retaining water this week so if I do really good, I might still be in the running...(hahahaha). A girl can dream, can't she??
