oh man, just WATCH me having to post a gain this week. 
I haven't weighed myself but also, I havent:
1. Worked out at all
2. Kept a healthy diet
What I Have done is I've been sitting on my butt, studying and writing papers. Yupp, it's crunch time before Springbreak. I'll do better next week!

Yea! I've been doing really good this week...i worked out Sun - Thursday and today I am going to the gym for 40 minutes of cardio...I am going to take Saturday and Sunday off.
I'm going out of town and visiting family in central california...I need to really watch what I eat and stay on top of drinking lots of water. I can't fall off the wagon and undo all the hard work I did this week. NO UNDO-ING!!!

Awesome Mimmi! Good job and keep up the good work!
JB don't make me come down there and figure out where you are hiding the cookies!
Just joking. Maybe you are drinking too much water? LOL
How did last month go for you? Are you still losing month to month?
Here's my update:
March 1st starting weight = 199.0
March 8th = 197.0 (-2.0 lbs) Yea for me!
March 15th = 198.0 (+1.0 lb)
March 22nd = 196.0 (-2.0 lbs)
OK not bad but still a little frustrating because once again I was 195.0 on Wed, Thurs and Fri. I worked out hard on Friday and Saturday and ate well too but once again Sat and Sun I was higher than the middle of the week. The last two mornings I was 196.0. Nonetheless, I am still going in the right direction. In 3 weeks I have lost 3 lbs so I am still basically on a 1 lb per week average. Sure 1.5 lbs per week would be great but I can't complain about 1 lb per week.
Having said that, it also depends on what day of the week one wants to officially count as their weight for the week. Since I became a daily weigher way back when I started my journey last June, I have always counted my lowest weight of the week. In other words, I would say "I had a new low this morning." So my lowest weight so far remains 195.0. Hopefully next week I will finally see 194.5 or better. Maybe even for next Sunday too.

Hmm, maybe you are getting too many calories and don't realize it? Maybe you have gained a little bit of muscle, which is not a bad thing but if you still have quite a bit of weight you want to lose that can be a little frustrating.

At this point JB I think you should focus a little less on your actual weight, because you're telling us that your clothes are feeling looser on you and that's a change in itself!
Just keep doing good and look at your diet and excercise with a pair of critical eyes. Maybe there's something you can tweak?
Plus, I'm sure you'll see a loss next week! Sometimes the loss doesn't come the week you're working the hardest for it, but the week after!
Don't lose hope sweetie!

March 2 = 249.8
March 9 = 250
Pretty good. I didn't count calories at all this week .
March 15 = 248.
March 22 = 250
March 30
Well, I joined this forum about a year ago. I've managed to lose only about 20 lbs in a year (I did fall of the wagon a bit, but I worked a little harder than 20 lbs, too), but I'm satisfied. That's 20 lbs of fat that has stayed off. Wooo!!

Hey you(s)
Mimmi - Congratulations!!! 10 lbs this year is REALLY good! And you know when it comes down gradually it's going to stay OFF! Keep it up!
Hey Jellybelly - Just like others said, Don't lose hope or your determination. Analyze what you're doing wrong etc and take it in your stride and I'm 100% sure that you'll lose!
AND Don't forget that losing weight it just math! (I tend to oversimplify things but you know what I mean)
All the best and I hope you lose this week!!

I'm really glad that I've moved off 128! Working my ass off to lose this weight!!
Good luck for next week you all!!!!! Love this challenge and I hope we can do the same for April!!
Start Weight: 129
March 8 = (127.7) 128.0 (-1.0)
March 15 = (126.7) 128.0 (-0.0)
March 22 = (126.7) 127.0 (-1.0)
March 29 = (125.7)
Total to lose 6.0lbs = 1% of each week starting weight.
Total March Loss: 2.0
Percentage lost: (I don't know how to calculate this)

Start Weight: 226
March 8 = (1%=223.7) 224.4 -1.6 not bad but not 1%
March 15 = (1%=222.16) 222.2 -2.2

March 29 =
Total March Loss: __2.2_______
Ok so I don't know what the crap is going on. I stayed under my cals and even though I didn't do any real exercise I have been about 1000x more active with taking walks with the kids and what not since it got warmer. I don't know I haven't had a good bathroom visit for a few days now so maybe I need to get things moving in that department. We'll see next week. Its just so fustrating they say diet is most of weight loss but come on.

This month seems to have been tricky for most people here.
Chin up, it's a life long process after all.

So I am thinking my unexpected weight gain might have somethng to do with my evil aunt flo who decided to show up 2 weeks early. So she should be gone by sunday and maybe I will end this month on a good note.
3-26-09 so today i weighed just to sneak a peek and I'm back down to 222 so by sunday maybe I will be close to 220 or so.

I have had a lowsy week eating wise. I was on the road a bit and had to eat McD's once and then tonight I had a birtday party and overate of course. Not as bad as I used to but enough to make my stomach hurt for the first time this entire year. I excercised every day but today. Tomorrow and Saturday I will really bust my butt at the gym and eat good too. I think I will be happy if I just stay even this week.
