ValRock !!!! 100 pounds!!!! I hope you see it stay tomorrow

!!!! Amazing job girl!!! You look awesome already!

spiritualflow I have to say I love Jillian. Everytime I've done her workout videos, I lost a lot of inches!!!!

BLCarter84, Glittergation, RockBanjoWelcome!!!

As for me, I weighed in at 158 this morning, didn't really believe it, but I kicked the scale and jumped back on, and saw it again. Actually i saw 157 shortly so I settled for my 158.6 Hahahaha.

Im so glad to have broken through my plateau. the 170's stayed around FOREVER. I mean forever, Almost a year. So the 160's whooshed by no problem, and I'm really hoping the 150's do the same.

caramelkitty, glad to hear you've broken through your plateau! I'm sure the pounds will keep flying off!

spiritualflow dear lord i hope so. short shorts season is almost here and if i have to go through one more summer of depression because all the freaking girls in Montreal are drop dead gorgeous with perfect bodies, I will freak out. LOL Im kidding. For real though, it would be fun to wear sexy outfits.

spiritualflow · 05-12-2012, 09:59 PM

So guys I want to make this challenge more official. I love how casual we've been getting to know each other, but I do want to find a way to keep people accountable. So what I was thinking was on the front page, I can create a chart with Starting Weight, Goal Weight, Starting Date, Goal Date, and you guys can weigh in whenever you want, as long as you don't give up!! By the end we can calculate % of Body weight lost, % of BW over time (for late comers), and/or % of goal reached. I just want feed back right now. Do you guys think it's a good idea? or should we just keep it as is and avoid an actual competition? I don't want it to be a competition, but if we can see our progress it would be cool too. So it's up to you guys~! Either way, I'm going to write the members down on the first page and their join date so that everybody can see how big our team is

I think it's a good idea keeping track of our progress doing this challenge

But I love numbers and like having them written out, good or bad. But if some people feel it would make it too much of a competition instead of a place for support, I think we should just skip it. I'm sure everyone is keeping track of their own weight constantly (I know I am

) It would be nice to have some sort of record of how many of us meet our goal or something though

Sorry I'm so bad at responding to posts, just got home after a weekend home without an internet connection. Avoided eating too much of my moms yummy yummy food, so I'm pretty pleased with myself

Hope you all had an awesome weekend.

After a few days with no internet, I'm back! Yay!
I weighed in at 218 this morning, but i'm not quite trusting the scale because it's the first time I've used this particular one and it looks kinda old, lol! But it's still really encouraging!

I've been doing really well with eating smaller portions and buying healthier food since I'm not eating at my school's all-you-can-eat buffet anymore!

I'm feeling super motivated today!

caramelkitty · 05-13-2012, 09:19 PM

I like the idea of keeping track! We can also have a shared spreadsheet that we can all edit with our numbers. I'm down to 157 as of this morning, the weekend munchies weren't that bad I guess!! 12 pounds to go!!

spiritualflow · 05-13-2012, 09:29 PM

WOOOT 100 POUNDS!! Girl you're amazing! Congrats!! Okay, I'll work on a spreadsheet

glittergation · 05-13-2012, 10:02 PM

Congrats to everyone! I am not doing well, weightwise. I went off of my adderall for the summer and my weight has started to climb. I'm going to nip this in the bud. I tried on the dress I'm supposed to wear in three weeks to my boyfriend's sister's wedding. I bought it in March. It is a gorgeous size 8 light blue tafetta gown from the banana republic label (or whatever the "reserve" is) and it zips but it is not comfortable. Sadly, I don't think I will be wearing it for the wedding

This is sad because it fit when I purchased it. I don't want to wear something too small. I need an inch and a half....ugh. Well, maybe there will be another occasion?

caramelkitty · 05-13-2012, 10:24 PM

glittergation just work towards fitting in that dress perfectly!! you can do it! worst case scenario, at least you'll be THAT much closer!!

hey 3 weeks is a loong time!! you know how i find inches come off easily? its with jillian michaels 30 day shred!!

delyn · 05-13-2012, 10:27 PM

i think keeping track would be a good idea (: it would be a good way to stay accountable, & everyone can still support each other at the same time~

i haven't checked-in in awhile, but i've made it down to 148! which leaves me another 13lbs until i reach my goal before school starts!
