wow - we are having some good results. I love the group effort - I've been doing it on my own for a year and a half. I've never managed 8 pounds in one week, but that's OK. I gave myself three years to get to my goal and then practice living at that weight.

Well, I lost three pounds this week. My measurements didn't change but at least it looks as though that damned plateau is over. I met my goal of exercise minutes - and I've lost 5 pounds total since Jan. 1, and this is week five, so I'm making the goal of a pound a week at last! I'll start a new thread, ten pounds in ten weeks, weeks five and six.
Here it is: Weeks five and six

I was down another 2 Saturday morning, but I laid around my place all weekend and ordered a pizza last night.
Still, I am down another lb (14 total) and people at work are noticing.

Hey, a diet thread, cool!
I just got myself on one starting last week. I've lost 5 lbs already.
One suggestion I should give you all is that you should weigh yourself the same time every day to get an accurate idea of your progress. I weigh myself every morning after my shower and after I get dressed, all before breakfast. If you want an even more accurate measurement, get calipers to measure body fat.
I'm also not on any marketed diet plan (Atkins, WW, etc). If you need a name, I'm on "Diesel's Guide to Weight Loss." It's barely a one page post written on an internet forum I frequent, and it works (this is the second time I'm using it).
After the boy was born, I stopped my exercise and started eating really crappy. I gained more weight than what I had before. My goal is to lose between 30-35 lbs. The final straw was when my jeans were starting to really dig into my gut. I either had to buy bigger jeans, or drop the weight. I chose the hard way out :)
Also, you shouldn't be dieting longer than 12 weeks without a break. Longer is bad for your body.
