Weight-Loss Irie, Mon! July Weight Loss Challenge

Weight-Loss
Hey, you can't beat yourself up about the past. Trust me, I'm dealing with that too!

I'm averaging about 2 pounds per week during the 8.5 weeks that I've been serious about weight loss. Before thinking about losing weight, I'd been maintaining for quite some time. But then as soon as I thought about it, I started gaining about 2 pounds per week until I got control of myself again! So the first 4 of my 8 weeks were just getting back to where I started. Doh! But I'm damn happy with 2 pounds a week. If I can keep this up for another 10 pounds, I'll be ecstatic.
 
Yeah, I honestly don't let the scale play too big of a part in how I feel. I know if I make the right food decisions and have a more active lifestyle, things will work themselves out... they always do. I hope I keep droping 2+ a week all the way to my goal. Doubt it will happen though. Last week I gained .2 and this week I'm down another 5. So ya never know what'll happen.
 
Madness, I think that mini goal of 174 is great. You aren't all that far from it. Keep up with how your doing and you'll be there in no time. :coolgleamA:
 
Everyone get excited!! Not only am I here, but I GOT A JOB OFFER!!!! WAHHOOO!

I'm going down to North Carolina next weekend to check out the area and the school, cuz I'm certainly not accepting a contract sight unseen!

I might be a first grade teacher!! YAY!



Bonus... The school I would be working for is get this... RIGHT next door to a Recreation Center... SCORE for convenient workouts!

What part of NC? First grade is such a great one to teach.
 
Nice, right south of Raleigh, right? Right now I'm avoiding the area for personal reasons, but I hear very good things about it.

Well...at least I am in good company :D

Seriously, I got a talking to at work about my productivity...in a system where you have to bill out your day, that is not a good thing :) I still read, just haven't had time to post as much - don't worry, I'm not ditching any of you guys...

Jesse - congrats on the job offer, that is great to hear, you must be so relieved...

Shaun - that weight loss is INSANE! Great job dear.
 
Ali, we still love you. I understand how this site can be addicting. Just popping in to see what everyone is doing does help keep the motivation to make the right choices. The boss doesn't want to hear that, but keep doing what you're doing. It's working, girl.

They certaintly don't - what's up with that? :D

I definately would not have gotten this far without you guys, believe me. I do what I can but know that I am always here in some capacity :)
 
I'm glad to help, Ali, but really it's all you. We're just here to cheer you on. You make the good choice. You fight the bad foods. You get out there and run. All I can do is sit back and say, "WOW!" It isn't easy and you still perceiver.

Sometimes the cheering is what keeps you going when things get hard. No one operates in a vacuum and support or the lack thereof can really make a difference.

To this day, I am still floored when someone is impressed by what I did - thank you Trops, it is good to hear :)
 
Wow lolli, that is AWESOME

Can you send some of your success, motivation, and determination my way please? Great job!
