I'd love to join in too! We are spending memorial day weekend at the beach so I really need to lose some pounds! I'm setting my goal for 15 pounds. Starting weight is 160. If I hit my goal, my reward will be a few new pairs of shorts for my trip!

O.k. ladies, I am going to weigh-in later this morning. Hopefully, I will come back with some weightloss news...NO gain...I'll be positive. I have been doing excellent with drinking more water. I would be lucky if I drank 2 water bottles a day. So....I have been adding lemons to my water so I can drink MORE water and it has worked. Wish me luck...I will check in later this afternoon.

Signed...a little nervous...

Still no exercise!! But I did load my bike into my truck to take to the shop and get fixed. I guess that was a little exercise lifting the thing into the bed!! Congrats to all who have lost!

"Weigh" to Go to our Memorial Day Losers!!
I think this is correct, but please correct me if this is wrong-
Christina S- 3 pounds
Rose - 1 pound

Well, I have lost a whopping zero pounds
Actually, I know I was up some and now back where I was.
Believe it or not, when I first saw how a lot of us were posting 15 or so pounds and weighed way less than me I thought, I need to raise how much I want to lose! Now I will be happy with the 15. I know what my problem is-candy and junk food in general. My mother in law gave the kids their Easter Baskets full of chocolate already and I keep getting into it. Terrible!
You all have inspired me to keep trying. I want to be able to report a loss and feel better about myself.
Good luck to us all!! Summer will be here before you know it!

Hi Everyone- Can anyone shed some light on what I may be doing wrong? I ate great all week and even drank at least 70oz of water each day. I usually have salad for lunch and dinner; not any fancy salad I make sure that I have Romaine lettuce and 2 tbsp of Fat Free salad dressing along with some sort of protein...breakfast consist of a dairy and a fruit...I only lost .2 pounds...arrrggggg! Where did I go wrong? I am glad that I lost rather than gained but ONLY .2 POUNDS......

To make matters worse, me and my boys are leaving for Disneyland for 5 days.... I am going to do my best not to gain....Help....

Haven't been here for a few months. I think the weather is helping me get motivated again. (not an excuse, Really!! )
so I think I will join you on your weight loss goal for memorial day. 15 lbs? Is that to much for me to try to lose in 2 months. I guess I will aim for that anyway and see how far I can get.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.
XOXOXO

AGH! I ate chocolate all day yesterday. I didn't overeat for lunch or dinner but I ate way too much chocolate. I need to be better today. I am afraid to step on the scale. I weighted myself yesterday and I was still 150. I hope I can at least maintain that since we still have chocolate in the house.

Hi Nikki, I feel your frustration... have you tracked your loss before? I can lose consistantly 1-2 pounds, then have no loss for a week and then a bigger loss the following week. When I did WW, that was my weight loss pattern. Good luck to you, I hope the scale moves for you and I am jealous of your trip to Disneyland I am SO ready for warm weather!!! It is 35 today! I wish it was at least a normal temp for April.

welcome shey237!

Its great to hear everyone so keyed us to do this. Reading the posts at the end of the day gives me the motivation to keep going the next day...
As for an update, been two weeks and I am down 7 lbs - yahooooooooo ,10 lbs more to go before May 20.

hello everyone!
Thought I would do a quick check-in and say hi! This is gonna be a really challenging week for me. I have my step kids here along with my two as well all week home for spring break. They have a lot of Easter candy (read TONS of chocolate) from their houses, their grandmas, us, you name it-Uugh!! It's hard to be good when you see little peanutbutter cup eggs all over the house! But, so far I have maintained my weight. I think mostly due to walking a lot. I took the girls shopping yesterday and we walked for hours!!
Nikki-I am sorry you are struggling. The only thing I can think of is it that time of the month?? Sometimes you can retain water and the next week-bam!! two pounds down! Also maybe keep track of your calories and make sure you are eating enough. Atleast 1200 minimum-more if you exercise a lot. Eating too little slows down your metabolism too.
Mivizhi-You have lost 7 pounds since starting the challenge? Wow!! That is awesome! I need to get it in gear like you!!
welcome to all the new joiners-let me know if I forgot to add your weight loss to the list!!
