Yay, Jellofer!!-Way to go on win #3! It was a good start over day for me since I bounced up a bit despite being OP.

SW: 136.8
GW: 131.8 (Haven't seen this number in 20 years!)

Thanks MsP!!! Did you move your goal down a little bit more??? If so I am impressed. If not, I am still impressed! YOu are so close and so inspiring to me. I have truly enjoyed all of your feedback over the past few months.

I am not sure what has made the scale move, I am not working out as hard and as often as before, but am noticing that my body is tightening up more. What I am doing, must be working.....I also am having about 40-60 grams of carbs/day and around 1400-1800 cals per day. STill drinking lots of water. I feel puffy all the time, but that must be part of the body changes or I just notice it more now. My clothes are starting to get way too big, but no money for new yet.....resaling is in my future.

You are doing fantastic. One day we will have to sit down and really chat about all of our trials on our journey. It would be wonderful. best of days to you today and always!!!

Thanks to all the ladies.......we are all winners everyday!!! Our commitment to each other on this website proves it!!!

Molly----this is what I am doing, low carb, hi protein, drinking tons of water and being active. Was training to run a 5 K, but increasing knee troubles have stopped that all together. I am just trying to be active. Walking the dog, yoga, dvd's elliptical at the gym, whatever I can do. Mostly though it is eating. So we shall see where it goes!!!

Best wishes to you all!!!

Jellofer - You are doing very well. I know eating drags me down all the time. Lately, the main change I did was eating too and keeping up with gym. But good to know your plan. I will try it too: low carb & high protein.

Molly123--i did forget to add that I am working with a doctor who is developing his own weight reduction program. But No pills. Just good old fashined hard work and the occasional slipup!!!

I want to get to 234 by the first of december and have 8 more pounds to go.

Jellofer C-O-N-G-R-A-D-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S!!!!!

(I am sooooooooooooo Proud of you!!!)

Sw 172.2 ( Same as yesterday But holding that 172 at least and not going up...Hoping for a new low 2morrow...Cause it's in my 1 year anniversary Of counting calories...I was hoping for a 90 pound loss but 88 would be great too within a year!!! I hope my scale is nice in the morning...regardless I am a totally New me compared to last year....THANK GOD!!

gw 167.2 (Dreamy!)

WooHoo Jello!!!! :cheer:

I've been yo-yo'ing up and down the same 2 pounds all week. Today was an up day. Ugh.

SW: 228.6
GW: 223.6

Last night I did something to my knee during my workout. I let it rest today and I'm praying it's not a big deal and heals quickly.

Let's rock this challenge. :high:

BarbPA----I did the samething for about 3 weeks. It was killing me so I used it as an opportunity to practice maintenance. Then I went right back into weight reduction mode and made some progress!!!!!

Had a sort of not perfect plan day today, but had a tough therapy workout. I will have buns and abs of steel by the time she is done!!! WOhoo!!!

I'm jumping back on the wagon for the first time in almost a year! My little man is now 3 months old - and since I've been doing nothing some of the weight I had lost after he was born is creeping back!! :eek: the #5 challenge is what I need to get jump started again.

Still the same as yesterday, but that's okay. I only did a mile jog (12 minutes) and did some stretching. But at least I know that 186 is REAL! lol! That puts me at halfway to my goal!!! Yes!! Now I just have to lose what I've lost already all over again. It's all down hill from here. :) (will update ticker on Friday...)

Congratulations on all who are losing, and even those staying the same, much better than me, I gained 2 tenths of a lb. Oh well, I am not giving up yet.

Well its My 1 year Anniversary of counting calories....87.7 Pounds lost in 1 year! WOOOOOOOT WOOOOT ~I am a NEW ME~I feel fabulous today.

Happy Anniversary Lori! :high: Congrats on an AMAZING year!! :cheer:

Welcome back Enygirl! Congrats on your new addition! :D

Lori Thanks!!! one year anniversary. SEe!!! it can be done. And 88 pounds. I like to round in my favor. It makes me feel good and gives me something to shoot for. I am also proud of you.

Vickielou :)

Barbpa down 2 today!!! woohoo! I fought with 2 pounds for what felt like an eternity. But, I have overcome and now am on a downward slide!!! It will come. Keep up with your plan, keep your goal in your sights. You will succeed. The body just has to make some adjustments.

Jazzypeg down 2 today. I have some competition on this challenge. I need to step up my game girls. :) Keep up the great work.

MsP A loss is a loss. Sometimes the ounces mean more than the pounds. You are so close I can taste it!!! And it is good!

LBLazy You are knocking on onderlands door. You will get in! Stay focused.

Enygirl Glad to see you back. Beautiful little ones. I have none of my own yet. I love to look at everyone elses photos. They make me smile and remind me why I am doing what I am doing. Best wishes to you.

Helpmelose Thanks!!!

Angieaang Any exercise is good. Think of all those people out there who don't even get up off the couch. You ran a mile and thought it wasn't good enough. You did great. Keep up the great work and stay determined. It will get you to your goal. For me there are some days when walking the dog is as good as it is gonna get. Then the next day is a workout of a lifetime. You just never know what the planets have instore sometimes.

Bamachic Stay on plan and it will happen.

Ok ladies. Got to the gym after work today. 12 hour shift and a good workout. Tough stuff. I was looking in the mirror today at the gym and realized 2 things:

1. How big I was. Wow! My used to be tight shorts are loose and my was too big t shirt looked terrible. Plus my bras are getting a little to big. UhOh!!! May need to get replacement boobs when I get to goal. :)

2. I still have a long way to go. But I really don't care what people think about how my body looks right now. I have a goal in sight and need to keep pushing for it.

I worked out hard and my arms are talking right now. I can barely lift them over my head they are so tired. But that is ok. It is off to bed now. Early morning and then class, therapy a few errands and then back home to ready my house for company on friday. UGh. So much to do so little time. That is ok though. Might make for more movement on the scale.

Have a great night and happy scale readings in the morning to you all!!!

Love and light to all my peeps!!!

I wanna try! I need something to keep me motivated, lots of little goals so I feel validated ;)
