How is everyone doing, I lost another 3 pounds last week, the weight loss is speeding up again, now that I am doing weight training, my metabolism is whizzing along - and I have dangerous amounts of energy!!! And I fit into two summer dresses that I have never worn and unearthed from their plastic bags at the weekend, bad news is, I think they'll only fit for another month!!!

Wow spice!
Well Im continuing to lose weight but I dont own a scale. I just cant wait to get some cash together so I can buy that exercise bike I've been eying for a while. I've got a bad knee so I need something safe to do exercise on.

Good motivation, Lugaru! Sometimes it's best to not own a scale - just see how your clothes fit you instead.

where was I when this thread started???? Man just by all your positive attitudes alone would have taken off any extra weight I had! I actually went back to work....shhh....not everyone knows this.....and I am SURE i lost weight but I stepped on the scale and it said i never...hmmmm....the scale always lies. Anyways, the point being it felt good. Well, anyhoo, I may be popping in here more....hope no one minds the intrusion??????

Well it's never really an issue about weight specifically. I remember when I was on a diet and going to the gym daily I never lost a pound... it was being replaced by muscle. While weight is decieving how you feel is very important...
ok.. I'm back on the wagon!! lol. I fell off a few months ago and have been going UP UP UP instead of down down down. NOT a good thing.
The last three days though I've been riding my bike and doing my stretches and cutting back on the calories. Down one pound!
I bought a pair of cool jeans ( two sizes toooo small) yesterday. And I have them hanging in front of my bike. Kind of like the carrot in front of the horse. I will make my self fit into them before the summer is over. I will! I will! I will!

Tanis, never go on a diet for anyone else. Do it for your health and your self esteem.
Maybe he said it, because he was afraid that if you lost any more weight you'd be out of his league!
Keep us updated on your progress, please!
And best of luck all! We are in swimsuit season (ack!)

Stepped on the scale today and I am down 34 pounds. Now I only have 38 to go!

Well, today I tipped the scales at 193 lbs. Bear in mind, two years ago I weighed a whopping 280 lbs!
I still probably got about 20-ish left to lose. I'm not really sure what my ideal weight is. I weighed 165 in college, and while I was pretty athletic and fit, I did have a few extra pounds from attending several kegger per week!
My guess is that I'd be pretty happy with 175 now, but we'll see when I get there.
The combination of Atkins and Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning has worked wonders for me.
