Hello all,

Been off the wagon for a little while and need a small challenge to get me going again. This seems perfect!

Been off the wagon so long, i am actually scared to look at the scale, but gonna take the plung tomorrow. Looking forward to a new beginning (again). Looking forward to NOT dreading to look at the scale.

Stacy

I can't seem to lose a thing right now to save my soul. This is when I get frustrated. I really want to lose this 4-5 pounds before school starts so I will be eblow 180.

:bday2you::bday2you::bday2you:

I've had guests since last Wed and just now have my house quiet and back to normal. Well...as quiet and normal as it can be with a 4yo and 2yo. :D I did an ok job staying on plan considering everything we had going on, but I'm a little scared to step on the scale right now. I plan on waiting until Friday which is my normal day to "officially" weigh in.

Good Luck to everyone! I'll still be around this week.
:)

SW: 194.6

I'm taking these losses as they come, as I know my pre-TOM week is upon me and the dreaded stall out.

barb ~ Glad you got your house quiet again and I do hope the scale treats you kindly when you step back on it.

mtiger ~ Don't let it get ya down darling. Just keep moving forward and eventually you will lose those pounds. ;)

Lori ~ Hey you :wave:

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! It was a really good birthday. Best part was I came out of it with a LOSS even after 2 cupcakes! (I did throw in a little extra exercise to make up for it, though.)

Ms. Perception - Happy Birthday

Delphi - Holy Cow...you've just blown through this decade

I seem to be gaining and losing the same 2-3 pounds. The good news is - at least I know why. I need to be more consistent in my food choices. As I get closer to goal there is less wiggle room (I put 142 as my SW, since that is where I was at when I joined 3FC...but my true SW was closer to 180).

SW: 134.2
CW: 136
GW: 129.2

Finally the numbers have moved! I've been maintaining steadally at 178.4 all week.

SW: 179

Ms Perception-Hope you had a great birthday!

Hi Everyone! :wave:

I finally braved the scale yesterday and discovered I maintained through the chaos of houseguests and my son's Bday. Then today I was down a pound. Today is my one year anniversary of deciding to get healthy! I am down 114 pounds since last Aug 1! :D

SW: 227
CW: 226
GW: 222

Have a fabulous Saturday night! :hug:

Lori, Barb - Congrats on reaching such huge milestones. I am so inspired by people like you that persist and persist until they reach their goals.

Sw- 183.6
Cw- 181.8 (-1.8)
Gw- 178.6

Barb- Love your new pic....look at you hot mama :D Wonderful blog too! Each day I keep you, Lori, Mtiger (and all you other ladies that have made big changes in your lives) in my thoughts as I go day to day. Knowing each day is a step forward and never back unless you let it. Regular every day people lose weight! There is no special tools other than the drive to do it and keep at it. Slipping doesn't mean the end... only a reminder that as humans we sometimes fall. Only staying down will keep you from reaching your goals. We can all do this ladies...ONE STEP AT A TIME :hug:

Ladies, I'm going nowhere fast. I have been up and down the same couple tenths of a pound due to birthday treats and stuff. Today won't be better since it's my anniversary, but the rest of the month should be much, much smoother!

SW: 157.8
CW: 155.4 (-2.4)
GW: 152.8

Thanks blueisis & losing4another.
LOTS OF HUGS GOING Y'alls WAY!:hug:
And your so right losing4another ~we are just regular ordinary people Losing weight which shows anyone can do it if we put our minds to it.I can not wait to celebrate your goal being reach with you down the road~you are so gonna get there! Your mind & heart is so where it needs to be in the weight loss journey.:hug: And I know you will be here for me when I reach my goal....Your a super sweet lady!:)

Just checking in to say "hi". I'm out of town without my scale today and tomorrow, so I can't weigh-in. I was off-plan yesterday for my anniversary, so it's probably best I didn't weigh today!
You ladies are doing terrific, though! I'm SO impressed with your progress this challenge, Lori! Didn't you just win one of these? You're a superstar! I bet DH is loving your hot new bod. You look terrific in your profile pic. Keep it up!

I just keep playing around with these couple of pounds. TOM is coming at the end ot the week. I am looking for a whoosh afterwards.

Gw 222.8

Was expecting that... I wasn't counting calories for the weekend. Didn't think I did to bad but the scale says another story. Maybe the scale will be nice to me tomorrow and say good-bye to a pound....or two. Yeah right! :lol:

ms perception ~You made me blush! hehehe
Thanks for the kind words....And yep my hubby is thrilled.~I remember when you hit 170 on the weekly biggest loser challenge and I was sooo thrilled for ya~Now look your in the 150's!! Your sooooo ROCKING!
I won 5lb challenge #70 (I think) It was my first win.
I think I am getting more determined since I only have 36 more lbs to get to my ultimate goal left and I have lost 2/3 of my weight needed to reach my goal..........So I am going strong...I hope to get to my goal by My birthday Or by christmas (My birthday is Dec. 6th) But it's ok If I am just close by then or if for some odd reason I get to it sooner.


Losing4another~hehehehe~You always place a smile on my face.
~your too funny~HUGS TO YA GIRL!
You are doing awesome by the way~Keep up the good work!

I think we will see a Winner real soon....So GOODLUCK EVERYONE
