Chorus:

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word ~~~~~~~~(that losing4another got her swoosh)
& We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday

(chorus)

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
And make things better

Awesome, jellofer!
I'm so glad to start a new challenge. I think that last one knew I was getting close and wanted to frustrate me with a standstill!! LOL

SW: 148.4

I haven't tried a challenge in several months, but am ready to start up again.

SW 135
GW 130

This morning I was down to 133.8 so the 1.2 lbs must have been water. I guess the 133.8 is the more accurate weight and should be the starting weight.

SW 133.8
GW 128.8

Nothing good to report today...my body is rebelling against me still. Don't worry, though. I'm fighting back this time!!

Congrats, Jellofer2! :cheer: :cheer:

Lori- :hug: :hug: :hug: Thank you...You sure know how to make a girl feel loved. I can't wait for onederland! I'm not going to know what to do with myself when I make it :lol:

frieden- I think you should start with your first weigh in. You lost it and it doesn't matter why. We all lose water weight :D

Bigsexy- :yay: on the new decade.

Can't believe it but the scale moved a hair again. So glad yesterdays lost wasn't just a fluke :D

SW 215.2
CW 215
GW 210.2

I wanna join! :^: I lost 60 pounds over a year and a half, with my lowest at 142 (for a day or two..hehe) the second weekend of December (not remembering details at all-am i?!) Anyway, I have put on 5-8 pounds since march and CAN NOT GET IT OFF!!! Of course, im not as dedicated as I was 2 years ago, either...hmmm...anyway, I was going to wait untill this challenge was over to "officially " start, but I think this would be just another stall tacktic...I really, really, wanted to be 135 by the end of the year. I am 154.2 at the moment. I usually weigh as soon as I wake up. But I was too scared..there is a theme here!! lol Here I go...

SW 154.2
CW 154.2
GW 149.2

Boy it sure would be nice to see 14_ anything at this point.

Brand new member here. I'm going to try for another five pounds and this seems like a good thread to start in.

SW 150

Up a smidge this morning. I'm not sure why...I was OP.

Anyway,

SW: 132.6
CW: 133.4 (+0.8)
GW: 127.6

i'm up the same amount!? I am officially (again) up 10 pounds from my weight that i was at for 4 monthes. Ugh. I think im going to surf around here to regain the committment i used to have. i started this journey at 205-MY all time high..i had a major committment to never be that heavy again. and i wont! i wanted to lose 10 pounds this year-not gain it. ugh ugh ugh

sw 154.2
cw 155. +.8
gw 149.2

There seems to be a theme here too. I was down in the 140's in April and doing great. Things happened, lost focus and here I am this morning at 158. Today's the day. I am back!!

Good morning to everyone!!! Glad to see that we have some new voices on this challenge!!!

OK.....so I ate on plan and all and what did the magic scale say......

SW 254.4
CW 254.2 (-0.2) I guess it beats a tick in the up column.
GW 239.4

So, today, I shall repeat the plan and include some yoga with Bob harper in preparation for TBL tonight and w2 d1 of C25K.

Have a great day everyone and I'll see ya'll tomorrow.

GW: 143.4

Alrighty, well, it looks like we're all having fun with this one, eh? TOM finally reared his ugly head, so tomorrow I expect to see a drop. If not, heads are gonna roll...or I'm just gonna be really disappointed!

Down a little bit

Going to skip weighing today....With TOM and lack of sleep I know I don't have a fighting chance :lol:

My husband and I are sharing this computer for work, so I'm late updating today. I went up! I was crushed this morning when I weighed myself, but I see I have company. I'll follow everyone else's example and knuckle down for tomorrow.

SW 150

Fressca - Did you exercise really hard yesterday? Maybe your muscles are retaining water from microtears (if you worked out differently than usual). Keep the faith...if you are OP, the scale will drop.:)

Losing4another~your welcome!!!Your such a good friend to me on here & you deserved that song!

Sw 179.2

Still OP, so I know eventually I'll see it on the scale, just not today! :dizzy:

Must be the weather, I was OP as well and saw the scale go UP!!

sw 154.2
cw 154.4
gw 149.2

OK. I officially confused. It must be the early hour..I am down .6 from yesterday, but still up .2 from original weigh-in...which one do I go by? Really, I am not this dingy...:dizzy: I am re-starting a running program today (well, I did run monday which could totally account for the water weight gain yesterday..). I ran my first 5K on October 4th of last year (which is the date that I met my fiance. long but wonderful story). At that time I was running 3-4 times a week getting ready for the race. The last few months have been dismal to say the least. My endurance is wacked. I found this 10-week training thing on runnersworld.com yesterday. I am going to start with week 3 or 4 cause I can run for about 5-7 minuntes without stopping. Its just when I run for way too long, pushing myself, that I feel like I am going to die! lol...in some ways i feel like i am restarting. which is scary.

Good morning ladies!!!


Big Sexy- congrats on the 1.5 drop!!! it feels so good doesn't it?

Losing 4 another- TOM sucks! I'v got 2 weeks til mine comes. UGH!!!

Blue Isis-
Hang in there and be tough. You can do it. The drop in number is just around the corner I can feel it.

MOtherMavis- that little up tick happened to me the other day. I chalked it up to god challenging me to stay focused. And then today a reward.

Plainsgirl- You can do it!!!

Way to go Econ NerD!!!!!

I am going to see my mom today for the first time in 2 weeks. can't wait to show off my progress. I hope that I will be inspirational to both her and my dad. But one can only hope. Off to start the day.

Have a great one everybody and I look forward to reading all of your posts.

Losing4another that TOM can be so awful! But it sure is fun to see the scale drop after it's over ;)

Lori259 LOVE the new avatar--you look great!

Blueisis and Mothermavis y'all are doing a great job. It'll be super exciting to see the scale drop! :D

Plansgirl I can assure you the probably everyone of us on here has restarted at one point or another and you're going to do awesome! We're all here for you. :hug:

Econ nerd- Woohoo two pounds gone :carrot:

Jellfer2- have a great time with your parents.

Bigsexy- OMG this happens to be one of my worst Toms I've had in a long time. Hope I'm awarded extra for all the trouble :lol: 3.5 pounds already...Your on a roll :D

Lori- Your are a true sweetie hun :hug: I wish I could give you a real hug..Loving the new pic :D Did you steal that outfit from your daughter? Look at you getting so tiny...I see your getting comfy in those 170's. It always makes me feel better when I'm a pound under the new decade.

I'm still not going any where near that scale. I'm so crampy and crabby ...Poor Dh! I don't even like looking at that scale in the corner of my bathroom today. You all know that says a lot for me since me and my scale have a tight relationship :lol: I think I would break into little pieces if it showed a gain today. :eek:

I Laughed so hard I about peed my pants when I read what you said about your scale.:rofl:
(And the dh~Should be able to handle Your monthly wrath~He should be use to it by now~Mine is LOL:D "NOT" :frypan:)

Even though I am not on my TOM ~My hubby has had to put up with me and these allergies/asthma/anxiety problems the last day or 2. ~He's proboly ready to give me the :kickbutt: But he knows Better!:rollpin:
