Last night I was 193 at the gym. Wore more clothes than normal :hoping: -3 lb loss. I’ll try to go through the whole thread and list the progress of everyone participating on the 15th, since we should have lost 5 pounds. ---

Congratulations **Mangetout**! I’m now at 207 pounds, 3 pounds total lost. Obviously I’m not trying hard enough. ---

Thanks; I am expecting the curve to flatten off a bit from now; I have been working really hard (probably a bit too hard) on it; On Wednesday I took the family to a pizza restaurant for lunch and I took the buffet option, ending up eating a huge heap of salad, but also four slices of pizza, some garlic bread and a pile of pasta too, oh and all the gooey dressings on the salad - racked with guilt, I went to the pool that evening and swam a mile. (which seemed to do the trick, because I still lost weight that day and the next). ---

After two whole weeks I’m the same (145), but ummmm, maybe I’ve lost fat and gained muscle? I’ve been absolutely great about going to the gym, missing only once when I was too sick to go. It really helps to know that if I miss a day, my friend, who owns the gym, will ask where I’ve been. Maybe next week I’ll show a loss. If not, well, I’m going to start thinking about which vital organ I won’t miss. A kidney would be good for a couple of pounds, right? 😉 ---

I’m down to 283 from 285 last week and 290 at the start. Three more pounds in two weeks. ---

Lost 6 lbs. in 2 weeks. Here’s hoping that all stays off. Down to 160. ---

Congrats to all the folks who are actually losing. I’m stuck. 131.5—again. (The same as two weeks ago.) Probably I shouldn’t have eaten the durn Peeps. ---

Just lost my 10 lbs in April. Might have helped that a cold killed my appetite, but I’ll take it. ---

As of yesterday, I weighed in at 211. 2 pounds lost. Considering I’m on vacation and had thought I’d actually _gain_ weight this month–I think I’m doing ok. ---

Still at 191 a week later. I have been lifting weights though so maybe I’m just replacing fat with muscle. Yeah, that’s the ticket. ---

I’m still bouncing around at 181/182. I think my scale is mocking me. ---

I’m at 200 down from an intial 204. I suppose this is ok for the halfway point, but can you believe my manager just brought in a tray of donuts for the team. This is going to remain hard work. ---

I’ll be keeping this up through May; I have another stone (14 pounds) to lose before I reach my target weight. ---

I haven’t checked in for a couple Fridays… mostly because, as usual, my weight has not changed. Holding steady at 128. Will probably not make that whole 10 pounds in a month thing, since I seem to be losing about 0.75 pounds per month. I’ll catch up to you all in about a year, I guess! ---

I am happy to report a grand one pound loss as of yesterday morning. The scale needle is teetering and might just move over to 143 by this friday. That is, if I can keep my hands off the licorice. There are a lot more calories in that stuff than I thought, but I lurve it so.
