    hope you're all doing well. we're finally getting some nice weather out here. it was cold and gloomy all week but today i actually see some sun!
  • I'm cutting and pasting my entry over to this thread since I'm keeping everything on one....

    I'm in!!! I definately need something to be working towards in order to make progress. My goal is to lose 6 pounds. That doesn't seem like much but dangit just losing 3 pounds and keeping it off would be a total miracle for me these days!!!

    Goal 1 - Drop 6 lbs
    Goal 2 - Exercise 5 days a week
    Goal 3 - Plan my WW Points

    3/17 - 159
    3/24 - 159 (I was 158 on 3/21)
    3/31 - 158 (it finally stayed low)
    4/7 - 158 (still)
    4/14 - 158 (I'm happy since I've been eating a lot)
    4/21 - 157.5 (I'm seeing 157 off and on during the week)
    4/28 - 157
    5/3 - 156 (I weighed 2 days early this time)
    5/12 - 158 (I just can't get away from this number!!!)
    5/19 -158
    5/26 - 157 -- Oh well...at least I lost a couple of pounds.

    GOAL 153
  • LA - congrats loss!

    Liz - didn't know you were updating your first post. I just have been reading the new posts as they crop up. Congrats on your progress.

    I did super Friday and Saturday. Sunday, not so good. I really want all of the candy out of the house!

  • I measured this morning and I lost another inch! I lost 1/2 inch in my waist and 1/2 inch around the bust. Cannot budge the hips/thigh area to save my life. I have always lost my waist first so I guess I need to wait it out.

    2 3/4 inches to goal

    over 16 inches gone forever

  • Yeah Ellie!!
  • Ellie - congrats on inch!

    I have weigh in tonight and will have a gain. Sigh. But I am going to go anyway.

    only .2 down now and 9.8 to go.
  • hi all

    sorry i'm late. my doggie had a little accident this weekend. i think he pulled a muscle. the vet gave him some anti-inflammatories but he's still hobbling around. if he's not better in a day or two i'll go back for x-rays. he seems in good spirits though and not in any pain (not enough pain to make him cry or wimper anyway).

    up .5lb this week. i think i've hit another plateau. i've been bouncing between the same 2-3 pounds for about 2 months. time to start re-challenging myself!

    hope everyone had a great weekend.

    3/21: 179.5

    4/27: 178.0


    GOAL: 174.5
  • Rabbit - Remember that adding to your exercise routine will effect the scale When I add or change something in my routine it will cause a slight gain while my body adjusts to it.

    LA - Sorry to hear about your dog

    Dani - Long time no see! Glad to see your back on the board

    Ellie
  • Ellie - thanks. you're right. I usually see an immediate response on the scale also.

    LA - hope dog is okay.

    Happy - congrats on the 5.2 you've lost!

  • Ok...I had my first major break through today..........I took off my jeans (while I was changing for the gym ) and......I took them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them!!!

    I think my Memorial Day goal may be in sight

    At least I'm headed in the right direction again!! I have to credit the gallon + of water a day I've been drinking, because my eating certainly hasn't been on track!

    Ellie- Congrats!! That's awsome!!

    LA- Hope doggie is feeling better!! Poor little guy.

    Rabbit- Yeah on the small loss!!

    Dani- Great that you're down 5.2!! Keep up the good work!!
