Good Monday morning--time to weigh in!

Good morning, everyone!  It's a gorgeous morning, hope you are all feeling great!

I had a pretty good week.  That 2-3 lbs that comes and goes went away this week, and I'd like it to stay lost.  It won't, though, not this week.  I need to carb-load before my race on Saturday, so I will be deliberately eating lots of carbs and hoping to gain weight--isn't that a weird thing to say (and do!)??? 

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week: 142
This week: 137.9
Lost 4.1 lbs this week

Paul:  total run mileage this week was a bit lower:  21.3 miles, plus one elliptical day at 3.7 miles.  You'll beat me this week, I bet!

For those of you who missed it, we had a fabulous time at the Charities Challenge 5K on Saturday!  There's a great photo slideshow at http://www.charitieschallenge.org/html/challenge_obesity_5k. html
You will see lots of our members looking good and strong!  We have plans to do it again this summer, so watch the board for more details!! 

    I am still struggling with the  weight. I am up 2 pounds and that is after two weeks of increased walking/biking. I did 3 x 5ks (9.3 miles) this week plus 19 miles on the bike. I thought it was a pretty good overall effort. However, the food thing must be put in better balance.
     Well it is a new day....Onward!! 

 Just got back from the surgeon's office (post hernia repair follow up).  Weighed in at 157.2, BP is 110/64.  

Last week up close to 2- but right back down the next day...

But that makes my official loss this week that much more- close to 4 lbs.  Must have been the RUNNING Saturday!  :)  Thanks for the inspiration and for keeping me going!!!

I am .6 away from moving into the "overweight" category and no longer obese- I've been fighting these last 10 lbs to get there- hoping for this week- wish me luck!!!

WOOT!  Great job, Kim.  You will be there in NO Time!!

Keep on running...

Thanks!  Yes, I will get there!!!  I am inspired by you all and can't even begin to express how happy I am to have found the coffee crew!

 Isn't it ironic that when you are obese, you want anything to be overweight? I remember being a young teenager and thinking my life was ending that I was classified as overweight...now that would be a dream come true! 

Good luck and keep working hard!
