20-Somethings - First Day of Spring Challengestargzr 02-11-2010, 01:10 PM With the Valentine's Day Challenge coming to a close in less than a week, I'd like to see if anyone would be interested in doing a challenge for the first day of Spring - Saturday, March 20th! If so, please join!!! :D Hopefully many join in on this and we can start chatting it up in here with words of encouragement! stargzr 02-11-2010, 01:12 PM I'll go ahead and start: SW: 166 CW: 166 GW: 151 (I'll be bold :: I'm not sure where I want my final weight to be so I may re-adjust along the way :) ) DivineFidelity 02-11-2010, 01:14 PM Sounds like a great idea! SW: 195.1 CW: 195.1 GW: 185.1 I'd like to try and lose 10 lbs by then...and it seems doable. My issue with these challenges is that I generally overshoot my ability...so this time I'm trying to keep it simple and keep my goal at something I can achieve. Good luck to us all! LBLAZY 02-11-2010, 01:19 PM I'm in! SW: 159.4 CW: 159.4 GW: 150 Might be a real challenge since I'm close to goal as it is....but might as well try! :) moonkissed 02-11-2010, 01:28 PM ooo I am in!

SW: 178 CW: 178 GW: 169 mkendrick 02-11-2010, 01:58 PM I achieved my last goal and lost 10lbs before Valentines Day :) I'm getting closer to the weight I'd like to maintain, and I'm purposefully slowing down my weight loss a bit to start making my maintenance routine a habit. I'm aiming for 1lb/week from now on. Just focusing on toning up!! SW: 153.2 CW: 153.2 Gw: 147.2 nicollem 02-11-2010, 02:01 PM I'm in!

SW:182.2 GW:172.2 AutumnSky 02-12-2010, 09:29 PM I'm in!!! SW: 191 CW: 132.5 GW: 125 This may be easier said than done since I will be going on a school trip to europe for ten days.. so i definately plan on enjoying the food there that i would like to experience (like i'm going to go to belgium and not eat chocolate and real fries.. ha! who would i be kidding? :P), but also in a tough situation where many of our meals will be provided for us, and I will have to eat what they serve, which will most likely not be healthy. So.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't gain that week and just maintain. Anyway, my hope is that this challenge will help me work extra hard before and after the trip so that I keep moving forward and give up :) megphilly 02-12-2010, 11:22 PM I'm definitely in *crosses fingers* SW: 289.4 CW: 289.4 GW: 279.4 VickieLou 02-13-2010, 12:47 AM Sw: 234.8 Cw: 234.8 Gw: 220 Weigh in March 22nd: 236.4.

I do the same thing. I'm setting my goal to a loss of 10 lbs by March 20. I think that is probably do-able. This will be my first challenge on 3FC. Good luck to everyone. stcroix06 02-14-2010, 01:00 PM I'm in!!:carrot: SW: 217.2 lbs CW: 217.2 lbs GW: 207.2 lbs All these challenges have helped me stay on track!!:woohoo: stargzr 02-14-2010, 01:04 PM First weigh-in this weekend for me...

Weekends are ALWAYS ALWAYS hard for me (well, the whole week is hard, weekends are just harder, haha). Does anyone else struggle over the weekends? Maybe we can make a day during the wknd to check in & talk about what's been hard/easy? Idk, just need some accountability I guess.... Phoenixsmommy 02-14-2010, 06:54 PM I am in!

They put WI on Sunday... and well I didn't want a horrible WI every week so I had to teach myself to pay attention and take it easy.

The best ideas we came up with were a new set of flatware for the kitchen LOL. Hopefully just the idea of letting each other down will be more than enough motivation to not let it happen! :carrot: missyRxOx 02-16-2010, 12:56 PM count me in! i was sick right before valentine's day, so i fell off the wagon! but here goes for this: SW: 197.5 CW: 197.5 GW: 189 it's less than 10lbs, but i've been losing real slowly.. so we'll see how this one goes!

Weight loss should slow down after the month is over. I'm still hoping to hit Onederland before the month is over though! kuhrisuh 02-16-2010, 03:48 PM Last night we were trying to think of a reward if we both hit our goal before Spring.

You're doing so awesome! Jess7286 02-16-2010, 04:19 PM Carissa, I just started following your blog. Will keep track of you there! KnitALisa 02-16-2010, 09:02 PM Thanks Carissa! By the way your website is really cute! I seem to be rotating between two numbers and then switch down and rotate between a different two numbers. Like last week, I was either 223 or 225. Never 224, not 222, not 226. The week before I was 225 or 227. I would just love to skip the whole 223 and 221 drama and just get straight to 219 and 217. Lower would be better ;) But we'll get there. kuhrisuh 02-16-2010, 09:46 PM Jess7286 - thank you!! :) Thanks Carissa! By the way your website is really cute!

Thank you!!! I hope it keeps going down.. !! You are doing great too! :carrot: I did miss out on my exercising today, so I hope I will be ok tomorrow. I am going to try and avoid the scale until Friday.. This weekend is our anniversary trip so I am going to be doing some splurge eating. Hope I don't mess myself up! But its a special trip and I don't want to be miserable. kuhrisuh 02-16-2010, 10:28 PM Thank you!!! I hope it keeps going down.. !!

That sounds fun!! & I don't blame you - just because we're on a "diet" doesn't mean we can't live our lives! And an anniversary is definitely a time to live it up! Where are you guys going, if you don't mind me asking? Missita 02-17-2010, 11:40 AM Wednesdays are my usual weigh in day, so here's my first weigh in for this challenge. SW: 185 CW: 180.9 GW: 175 I'm still in the first couple weeks of my weightloss overall, so I'm sure that's why I'm losing a lot to begin with, but it sure does help my confidence that I'll be able to really do this! shortandfluffy 02-17-2010, 12:34 PM missita - Good job! Mine at the beginning went pretty fast too, but it was a great feeling! kuhrisuh - Thank you for agreeing! We are going to Houston.. its nothing too fancy, but they have a lot more to do than the Beaumont area. We are going to the Melting Pot which is a fondue restaurant. They have one in Austin and we just found out Houston had one too. Its so awesome! Then we are going to Ikea. LOVE That place! He said its funny how we are going for an anniversary trip then going shopping for furniture.. I said so what! I like new furniture. Haha. There are some other stops we are making, but its just a fun trip to get away! Without the three dogs! We have to get a sitter.. :) kuhrisuh 02-17-2010, 01:49 PM shortandfluffy, that sounds like so much fun! They have a Melting Pot in oklahoma city as well (I have family there) and my aunt went and took pictures of EVERYTHING because it was all so cool. Ha ha!! I hope you both have a great time!! :) amandapaige 02-17-2010, 02:50 PM ooo love challenges...im in SW: 236.0 CW: 236.0 GW: 227.0 shortandfluffy 02-17-2010, 02:58 PM I am glad so many people joined this. I missed my V-day goal I HAVE to do this one! kuhrisuh When we went in Austin we took pictures too! I will have to find one to post.. its so funny! Our waitress kept walking up mid picture so we would start laughing.. haha. Feral 02-18-2010, 09:03 AM Sadly I didn't meet my V-day goal, but I *HAVE* to make this one!!!! SW 195.5 CW 195.5 GW 185.5 Weighed in on Wed. at 194.5.... 1 lb down 9 more to go in the next 4 weeks. WAHHOOOOO! Samantha417 02-18-2010, 09:47 AM okay...so it's not my weigh in date yet. that darn scale is hard to avoid! SW:157.6 CW:155.6 GQ: 147 down two pounds! BOOYAH! mkendrick 02-18-2010, 10:30 AM Hmmm...I had a big week this week. 3.1lbs!? I didn't change my plan at all, in fact, I cheated more than normal on the weekend. I did start weight lifting everyday for about 20 min, but I don't think it was enough to burn off cheat calories. I was kind of plateauing for the last few weeks, maybe this was my whoosh. So much for slowing my weight loss down! So I think I'm going to lower my goal to 145lbs which was my original final goal weight. So that'll be a good milestone to get to :) SW: 153.2 CW: 150.1 Original GW: 147.2 New GW: 145.0 kuhrisuh 02-18-2010, 11:16 AM Hmmm...I had a big week this week. 3.1lbs!?

I weighed in 5 times this morning because I was in such disbelief. I was 193.8 the first two times and 192.8 the last three times. AAAaaaahhhhh I hope that's right!! I'll take EITHER ONE of those numbers! Official weigh day is Sunday.. Chipmunk_Cheeks 02-18-2010, 11:24 AM I weighed in and I'm 188 this week! -sigh- I can never have a steady weight loss. I have been working out all week too. I dont think I have went over 1800 cals everyday. blah I dont understand weight loss at all. Chipmunk_Cheeks 02-18-2010, 11:35 AM Congrats to everyone losing though! I'm jealous. ; c Feral 02-18-2010, 12:15 PM MKendrick - I had a bad week last week (had Chinese food 2 days in a row) and drank 2 glasses of wine. I had been stuck going back and forth between 195.5-197.5 all week and then dropped down to 195 even and now 194.5. I think every now and then your body needs a little junk in order for it to start working again. :) kuhrisuh 02-18-2010, 12:18 PM I weighed in and I'm 188 this week! -sigh- I can never have a steady weight loss. I have been working out all week too. I dont think I have went over 1800 cals everyday. blah I dont understand weight loss at all. I know FOR ME, what helped when I was stuck at 199 was changing things up. I started working out more and doing different kinds of workouts than usual. And I also changed my calorie intake... I mean, it's hard to make DRASTIC changes all the time, but adding variety into things helped for sure, IMO. Stay strong - you can't fail if you don't quit! Can't remember who told us that saying.. but it's a good one! Feral 02-18-2010, 12:21 PM I know FOR ME, what helped when I was stuck at 199 was changing things up.

Can't remember who told us that saying.. but it's a good one! We were talking about this over the in the weekly chat not too long ago. Some people up their calorie intake a little bit just to see if there will be a change, some people up their intake only a FEW days a week as well. I think it's really something you have to experiement with along with exercise. That quote is AWESOME!!!! kuhrisuh 02-18-2010, 12:31 PM Feral, yeah - it is more of a trial-and-error type thing.. I've tried so many different calorie levels and such! It kinda goes along with what you said in your previous post.. "I had a bad week last week (had Chinese food 2 days in a row) and drank 2 glasses of wine. I had been stuck going back and forth between 195.5-197.5 all week and then dropped down to 195 even and now 194.5. I think every now and then your body needs a little junk in order for it to start working again." Upping calorie intake for a couple of days seems like it re-vamped your body! congrats on that loss! mkendrick 02-18-2010, 12:49 PM I'm another one that seemed to be revamped by junk, lol. I have been pretty much on plan for the last few weeks, and I was seeing 1lb losses. Which is awesome, don't get me wrong, slow stead and healthy. But this weekend I had about 5 Jager bombs (lol...), a Hardees sausage biscut (590cal!) and some other junk. I was not looking forward to weigh in. I was really surprised when I had a 3.1lb loss. Your body WANTS to maintain. That's why I stayed right around 183-185 for months of eating 3000-4000 cal/day. My body was used to the routine and had adjusted itself to burn that much. If I ate 1100cal for months, I would eventually start maintaining. Our bodies are complex and they want to be in equilibrium and maintain. When we mix the system up, that's when we start seeing changes. QTestRDH 02-18-2010, 12:55 PM I'm glad some of you ladies are doing so well!! Last week was bad for me because of Valentine's day. I didn't lose, but I didn't gain either. So this week I need a good weigh in!! I'm down 2lbs so far. BellaDiva 02-18-2010, 01:50 PM Ooohh! I'll join in! By March 20th I think I can do 11lbs! SW-210 CW-210 GW-199 Chipmunk_Cheeks 02-18-2010, 02:18 PM I know FOR ME, what helped when I was stuck at 199 was changing things up. I started working out more and doing different kinds of workouts than usual. And I also changed my calorie intake... I mean, it's hard to make DRASTIC changes all the time, but adding variety into things helped for sure, IMO. Stay strong - you can't fail if you don't quit! Can't remember who told us that saying.. but it's a good one! Awh! thanks for the encouragement! ; D I think I might experiment with weighing myself daily for a while, just so I can get a feel of all the different weight fluctuations my body goes through. I can't quit now...I feel too healthy and much better about myself anyways now that I care about my body. Oh and I bought a spaghetti squash that I'm going to make for dinner. yay!! Sanna Maria 02-19-2010, 08:30 AM I'm fluctuating so much right now, it's a different weight every morning, but it doesn't seem to go down. Did a week of slightly less than 1300cals per day...and nothing :( So this week should average at 1500 per day, but every day has been very different as I'm trying to keep my body guessing. I'll do an hour at the gym later and go for a longer walk than usual, maybe that'll help. Really hope there'll be a loss on Sunday! :) How is everyone doing? Chipmunk_Cheeks 02-19-2010, 11:10 AM Ok today I am 186 lbs! A lb down from 187. 2 lbs down from 188. ; D My spaghetti squash last night was really great. stargzr 02-19-2010, 11:47 AM sanna - Good for you changing it up to see what works! Best of luck, hope the scale goes down soon! I'm doing well... on track to hopefully be in maintenance by the time this challenge is over. I have my "official" weigh in on Sunday so I'll post my sw, cw, and gw then. :) It's really motivating to see so many people have joined this challenge and that so many are doing well!! utgirl09 02-19-2010, 03:47 PM This week I have started to cut out all added sugar to my diet, but didn't start until Wednesday. I have also started tracking every calorie and taking a picture of everything I eat. I worked out every day except yesterday. I lost 3 pounds! SW: 223 CW: 220 GW: 213 mkendrick 02-19-2010, 04:18 PM Good job utgirl09, I wish I had that kind of discipline and motivation to clean up my diet like that. I just kind of wing it, lol. But that's awesome on the 3lb loss! fashinjunkie09 02-19-2010, 04:36 PM I know it's a little late but I'd like to join! :) SW: 166.2 CW: 166.2 GW: 156.0 Plan: 1,500 cals/day 30 min workout 5x a week Lots of water and little to no alcohol I just got back from vacation and am way up (hoping at least some of it is water weight). I was 162 before I left so I'm hoping I can get back to that pretty quickly and hit my 4th mini goal by Spring! utgirl09 02-19-2010, 05:34 PM Good job utgirl09, I wish I had that kind of discipline and motivation to clean up my diet like that. I just kind of wing it, lol. But that's awesome on the 3lb loss! Thanks. Cutting out the sugar is hard, but right now it is what I need. It is only day 3, and I am sure it will get harder before it gets easier to resist. A blanket NO to all sweets is the best way for me to stay in check with my calorie goal. I just don't want to let myself down. Congrats on your 3 lb loss too! Our bodies are crazy sometimes, aren't they? wrdfrog 02-19-2010, 06:42 PM Everyone's doing so well. I'm glad to have joined this group. My weigh-in is Sunday so I don't know how I've done yet. I feel very good though! This week I've decided I'm going to really reduce the amount of red meat I eat from now on to at most twice per week and 0 times per week if I can do it. Also, I'm giving up refined sugars slowly. I still have one or two pieces of candy every now and again, but it's much better than how I used to be. I've also been very good with writing in my fitness journal. I find that I do much better when I'm writing regularly. I think it comes from reflecting on the changes I'm making and keeping my commitment fresh. kuhrisuh 02-21-2010, 01:15 AM I've used about every ounce of self control I have this weekend. I'm proud to say that despite all the temptations - people eating mcdonalds, whataburger, sonic, etc - that surrounded me, I have been perfectly on plan! Today, when I went with my boyfriend to get sonic, I was planning on getting just a few :rolleyes: things that would be within my calories... but I gave myself a stern talking to and got only a medium sweet tea instead (180 cals). Rather than sneaking bites of his reese's blast, I'm having a 40 cal valentines sucker. Tomorrow is weigh day and I'm excited/nervous. Hope everyone is doing well & that you're all having a great weekend! :) Sanna Maria 02-21-2010, 06:33 AM Stargzr, thanks!:hug: You're doing really well, you must be thrilled to nearly be at goal! :spin: Kuhrisuh, yay for all that self-discipline! Hope you have a great weigh-in! I've had a bad weigh-in this morning, 182.8.... I was not happy at all, but I think it's to do with TOM that's a week early for some reason. So I'll just carry on with my calorie experiment and track even more carefully in case the problem is to do with lack of accuracy. Got a really cute angled measuring cup yesterday, so not even a tiny amount of skim milk will go unmeasured in my tea anymore. mkendrick 02-21-2010, 10:40 AM Well, I disobeyed one of my own rules and weighed mid-week. I just hate seeing little numbers. I lost .4lbs since Thursday, which is great and all, but then I'll have another little number on my "official" weigh in. I dunno, my mind plays too many tricks on me with fluctuations....I REALLY need to just weigh in once a week. SW: 153.2 CW: 149.7 GW: 145.0 Remaining: 4.7 wrdfrog 02-21-2010, 11:17 AM mkendrick, I feel exactly the same way. I've decided that I'm making it mandatory that I only weigh in once a week. It's necessary to keep me from getting distracted from my goals. Anyway, it looks like I gained one pound this week and I can't really say I understand it. I haven't been off plan eating. I was sick the week before and just started my exercise again this week, so I was a bit sore, but I'm not sore at all this morning. I'm not going to let it slow me down though. I know what I'm doing is right and I'll see a change next week. S: 179 C: 179.9 G: 169 kuhrisuh 02-21-2010, 11:51 AM SW: 199 CW: 194 GW: 189 Well I don't know why I couldn't be 193 or 192 ! I've been SO GOOD. but that's still a 4 lb loss for this week, so i'll take it :):carrot: & Oh yes, how could I forget?? According to my bmi, I AM NO LONGER OBESE! Just overweight! 30 lbs until "normal" :) LBLAZY 02-21-2010, 11:58 AM SW: 159.4 CW: 156.4 (-3) GW: 150 About a month left to lose 6.4 lbs for this challenge.....I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... fashinjunkie09 02-21-2010, 03:42 PM mkendrick, I know how you feel! But .4 is great it puts you in the 140's that's so exciting! Do you mind me asking what kind of plan you are on? You are making such great progress! wrdfrog, you're right, what you are doing is right so just keep going and you will see results! kurisuh, 4 lbs this week is fantastic and no longer obese!! Woo hoo! LBLAZY, great job on the loss! 6.4 lbs in a month is totally do-able!!! Sorry I haven't been really active here but I don't WI til tomorrow morning. I will post then, but everyone is doing a great job! Skyra 02-21-2010, 05:02 PM I JUST saw this, think I'll join in on it! Especially since I've got a month or so. SW: 148 CW: 141.6 GW: 138 (where I cross the line from "overweight" to "normal weight"!) That's a little less than a pound a week. I am all over this. :) missyRxOx 02-21-2010, 05:21 PM SW: 197.5 CW: 196 GW: 189 i went down to 195, but the scale says 196 today. with the olympics in town i've been downtown and at the beach walking around quite a bit! but the past 2 days i only had 2L of water, which is half of what I usually have.. so my body must be retaining :( oh well, tomorrow i'll weigh in and check back! which by the way.. i'm going to make Mondays my official weigh ins :) lixard 02-21-2010, 06:13 PM Hey everyoneeee! I just joined the forum, so this is like the first thing I am posting on, lol. My name is Lindsay, and I am a sophomore in college! Woo! I recently did the Disney College Program, and although it was the most amazing experience of my life, I gained 40 pounds! There is too much delicious stuff at Disney! Hahaha. Well, I've already lost like half of it, but I still have more to go. :) I'll weigh in on sundayz!

I was there barely two weeks ago...cannot wait to be back! :D This is a kind of conservative GW for this amount of time since I generally calorie count in addition to working out...but, it's time to meet the minigoal! stargzr 02-22-2010, 09:20 AM Morning everyone! Forgive me for forgetting to post my WI yesterday for this challenge... SW: 166 CW: 161 GW: 151 (or when I feel comfortable) So far, so good with my losses in this challenge. I hope I can be strict and make it to maintenance soon! There are so many great losses on this thread! Congrats for all of them!! YAY for Spring! fashinjunkie09 02-22-2010, 10:18 AM Good morning all! SW: 166.2 CW: 164.8 GW: 159.5 I think I'm going to change my goal weight. 156 would be nice but I don't want to set myself for failure and I'll be perfectly happy with reaching my 3rd mini goal/halfway point by Spring! Sounds like everyone is doing great! kuhrisuh 02-22-2010, 12:25 PM stargzr - congratulations!! :cheer2: fashinjunkie09 - congrats on the loss! i think reaching your halfway point is an AWESOME goal & i cant wait to see you accomplish it! byebyebelly 02-22-2010, 12:37 PM Well last weeks weigh-in was 186!! Woohoo!!! But just started TOM so i have a 2lbs gain :( But that just means that much more for next week!! :) Feral 02-22-2010, 12:43 PM SW 195.5 CW 193.5 GW 185.5 Down 2.... 8 more to go! QTestRDH 02-22-2010, 01:20 PM SW: 213.5 CW: 209.5 GW: 199 ten more lbs to go. maenad 02-23-2010, 03:43 AM sorry i haven't updated at all. I took a much needed break from the computer due to a hectic work schedule. I am happy to say that i have the rest of this week off and most likely next week off too! The last week has been pretty good. However, i have not worked out as much as planned, hoping to change that this week... I haven't lost, but i haven't gained, so i guess its not too bad. SW: 122 CW: 122 GW: 117 stargzr 02-24-2010, 10:24 AM Carissa - Thank you! :o How is everyone doing this week? It's so great to see all the losses in here and very motivating to stay OP. I'm still at the same weight I was for Sunday's WI... but TOM is coming this week sometime, so I'll do the best I can and hope for a whoosh when it's over. ;) fashinjunkie09 02-24-2010, 10:40 AM Thanks kurisuh! byebye, that's right that means you will be having a nice woosh when TOM leaves! Good for you! Feral, way to go 2 lbs is awesome you're almost there! QTestR, wow you're doing awesome you'll reach your goal in no time! mae, great job on not gaining especially with a hectic work week! And I know what you mean about not working out as much as you should, I need to work on that too. stargzr, I'm sure you will have a great big woosh when TOM leaves! I'll cross my fingers for you! SW: 166.2 CW: 163.8 GW: 159.5 About 2.4 down and 4.3 to go. :) lixard 02-24-2010, 06:44 PM This week has been going great!

Drinking all that damn water worked! Only have 6 more lbs until i'm at goal!!!!! :D SW:190 CW:185 GW:179 Scatterheart 02-25-2010, 12:00 PM Hello everyone! This looks like a great challenge; is it too late to join? kuhrisuh 02-25-2010, 12:20 PM scatterheart... im sure its fine if you join! we would love to have you :) Kinda like some of yall... TOM is here. Still down one pound though! This week has been a little lighter on exercise than usual... but I'm really proud that I'm still at least DOING it. Gotta find something to do today.... what workouts do you guys do during TOM?? same as usual? stargzr 02-25-2010, 12:37 PM scatterheart - Like Carissa said, we'd love to have you! How funny, I'm on my TOM too! I do the same exercises that I normally do. If I'm feeling particularly crampy, I try to do some stretching exercises aside from my normal workouts though... I'm *temporarily* up a pound from lovely TOM, but it's helping me to be VERY good and OP with my eating (exercise is no problem for me to keep up with ;) )... so I'm hoping for the whoosh when it's over! Do you do your normal exercises Carissa? mkendrick 02-25-2010, 12:53 PM Weeellllll, I actually gained a little. But, it doesn't concern me. I had a strange whoosh last week (going from 153.6 down to 149.7...wtf??), so I just bounced back a bit. Still averaging 1.3lbs/week. Not bad when I think about it like that, but nobody wants to GAIN anything ever, haha. I think I'm definitely at the point where my weight loss slows down to get rid of these last 10lbs. SW: 153.2 CW: 150.6 GW: 145.0 Remaining: 5.6 Scatterheart 02-25-2010, 01:34 PM Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. :) I am going to make a very ambitious goal to lose ten pounds by the first day of spring. I figure it's doable since Ive heard you usually lose a lot at the beginning. Start weight: 215 First day of spring goal: 205 I would loooove to be out of the 200's by April 1st, but that's another story. Missita 02-25-2010, 05:17 PM Ugh, TOM was this past week, so I had a 2 pound gain that just wouldn't go back down all week, but this morning it seems like I'm back on track. :carrot: SW: 185 CW: 179.8 GW: 175 I know it's only BARELY out of the 180's, but I was so excited to see that number this morning! kuhrisuh 02-25-2010, 07:20 PM scatterheart - Like Carissa said, we'd love to have you!

Do you do your normal exercises Carissa? It's crazy how so many of us are on TOM right around now! ha ha! I try to stay with the same exercises & intensity... I've tried doing more walking than usual, it seems to help the cramping. Mostly I just get lazy and have to force myself to do anything, haha! mkendrick - The body does crazy things.. but you are definitely on the right track! Keep it up girl, those 10 lbs will be GONE in no time! It's so awesome that you're this close to goal!! :carrot: Scatterheart - I lost quickly in the beginning.. 10 lbs is a big goal, but you can tackle it FOR SURE! And what a great way to start your journey!! :) Missita - woo woo!! congratulations!! TOM can be so annoying! but its great that you're moving down and OUT OF THE 180s!!! :cheer2: QTestRDH 02-25-2010, 09:42 PM Hey ladies!! I hope you're all having a good week!! So I dunno if I should thank my recent chest cold or what, but this morning I was down to 205 which means I only have 6 more pounds til goal! I'm pretty excited. Mkendrick- You're doing so great, even if your weightloss does stall you are sooooo close to goal. You should be very proud of yourself. Feral- Good job on the 2lb loss!! Fashinjunkie- You're doing great!! I'm sure you are gonna meet your goal. And the halfway point is such a huge accomplishment! And wow, it really seems like the rest of you ladies are TOM which stinks, but isn't that great big whoosh loss the best?? I was sick last week and had TOM and I think that's why one morning all of the sudden I was 5lbs lighter. I'm sure you're all gonna have great numbers for your next weigh in! katiecron 02-26-2010, 07:20 AM Ready to jump in here. s 220 c 220 g 213 stargzr 02-26-2010, 10:36 AM scatterheart - You can do it! mkendrick - You're doing so great! and almost to goal!! Way to be! missita - Hey, 179 is totally out of the 180s and definitely something to celebrate!! woo hoo! carissa - You're a brave lady! If I cramp too badly, I tend to curl up on the couch and watch a movie... good for you for getting moving! qtest - You're doing great also! And so close to onederland!!! Go katiecron!! maenad 02-26-2010, 12:07 PM I have been going really good with food/water/working out this week. I am really proud of myself.

SW: 213.6 *new scale CW: 213.6 GW: 199 utgirl09 02-27-2010, 11:03 AM Just a 1 pound loss this week. I spent 2 days at the beach in Clearwater Florida and 2 days over my calorie goal. I got back on track right away, and stayed on the low side of my calorie goal the rest of the week and upped the intensity on my exercise. 1 pound lost is better than nothing!

That in itself is a huge accomplishment :) I'm doing well so far this week, have resisted a few temptations, discovered some new healthy recipes, and I'm staying consistant with exercise for once. I'll wait to update my weight on here until my official weigh in on Thursday though :) Jess7286 02-28-2010, 06:18 PM SW: 213.6 CW: 209.4 GW: 199 HOLY CRAP. I lost 5 pounds since last weigh-in Sunday (for new BL challenge). 10 pounds by March 20 seems way attainable now! Good week (except for Team USA loss). jazzang 03-01-2010, 12:50 AM SW: 173 CW: 169.5 GW: 163 This is totally doable!!! I have 6.5 lbs left to lose by march 20th. woo!! missyRxOx 03-01-2010, 01:49 AM SW: 197.5 CW: 194 GW: 189 -- i wont be changing my ticker until Tuesday most likely (official WI) but i'll still write the changes on here when i see them! did VERY well today and stayed on track :) school starts on Tuesday (byebye Olympics!) so it'll be about 4-5 days out of the 7 I'll be NOT seeing my boyfriend or his mom (she keeps trying to feed me!) so I hope to do a lot better with staying on track -- also, i didn't meet my end of February mini goal, but I was only 1 pound off, so i'm still happy :D maenad: try adding a few hundred calories more for a day or two then go back? i tried that and finally got the scale moving again! (advice came from all the wonderful people on this site) fashinjunkie: so jealous of your loss! you're doing great :D jess: congrats on the 5lb loss! and... good game, but as a fellow Canadian, i must say, we played our OWN game very well :) wrdfrog 03-01-2010, 08:47 AM S: 179 C: 179.1 G: 175 This is a little frustrating, but I'm going to stay optimistic. I'm revising my goal though, since it's unlikely I can still make it to 169 by the 20th. I'm shooting for something a bit more realistic in the time left. Keep up the good work everyone! Feral 03-01-2010, 09:17 AM SW 195.5 CW 191.0 GW 185.5 4.5 down, 6 to go! Samantha417 03-01-2010, 11:19 AM SW:157.6 CW:152.6 GQ: 147 5 lbs down, 5 more to go!! Chipmunk_Cheeks 03-01-2010, 01:21 PM SW (for spring challenge): 187 CW: 183 GW: 177 Only 6 more pounds to go! I can't believe I lost another pound after eating at Cheddars yesterday. lol. Grats everyone on the weight loss! Lets keep it up! gottogo 03-01-2010, 03:11 PM This is my first challenge! CW:184 SW: 184 GW:175 Hopefully I will be firmly in the low 70s. QTestRDH 03-01-2010, 08:43 PM Everyone is doing so well!! I think almost all of us seem very in reach of our goals!! Keep it up ladies! I'm down to 206. Unfortunately I was unofficially down to 204 Friday. Apparently I wasn't so good over the weekend. But that's still two down from last week!! SW: 213.5 CW: 206 GW: 199 forestroad 03-01-2010, 09:09 PM I'm late but I want to join this challenge bc March 21 is the 1 year anniversary of the start of this journey for me, and I want to update my goal pics and have them be the best they can be. I don't have a specific number in mind bc I bounce around so much day to day that it's a bit futile to pick a number, but when I get back in my goal bikini for the pic, I really want to see a difference from last October, when I hit goal. fashinjunkie09 03-02-2010, 05:46 PM Welcome forest! Hi ladies, it looks like everyone is doing really great! :) I am a little bummed because I am up like 1.2 lbs up on the scale this morning. I have been OP with my food and just started working out again last night (after about 3 weeks with no work out), so I'm hoping maybe it's just my muscles retaining water, and that once my body gets used to my work outs again that it will go away. We shall see... mkendrick 03-02-2010, 06:55 PM fashinjunkie09, I started working out, actually doing cardio, and I noticed a jump in weight also. If your muscles are sore, they have lactic acid in them, that will cause water retention. I was back on track this week :) missyRxOx 03-03-2010, 02:33 AM fashinjunkie09, I started working out, actually doing cardio, and I noticed a jump in weight also. If your muscles are sore, they have lactic acid in them, that will cause water retention. I was back on track this week :) learned in a biology class once, that lactic acid buildup is from a good workout (you were right on that part) and one way to get rid of it is to stretch before AND AFTER! real good though. that way you can get to the gym again the next day with hardly any sore muscles (lactic acid buildup causes sore muscles) hence why hockey players go workout with a bit of cardio and stretching after a long game... so they can get right back into it the next day! missyRxOx 03-03-2010, 02:34 AM SW: 197.5 CW: 193 GW: 189 -- i've changed official weigh in to wednesdays... but today which WAS my official weigh in before i changed it, the scale read 193. I'LL TAKE IT! let's see if it changes tomorrow :) -- also, if my body keeps losing at this rate, i'll hit my goal for the challenge way before, so i'll make a secondary goal to try to hit that one after! forestroad 03-03-2010, 09:18 AM Ok so I'm not off to a great start but it's a definite improvement over how I have been. Hopefully my weight will be under 134 at the gym this afternoon, but I'm not holding my breath. Last night I had a major chocolate craving and caved to it, and just ate way too much candy. It didn't put me over calories for maintenance, but certainly did for getting back to 130-133. I wish I could say today will be better, but I'm going out to eat tonight for a special occasion. I will not use that as a license to binge, however. Missita 03-03-2010, 11:45 AM Weigh in today! SW: 185 CW: 176.8 GW: 175 I'm nearly there! I'm getting pretty excited! :carrot: stargzr 03-03-2010, 01:12 PM Wow missita, you're going to breeze right by your challenge goal!! Yay! Thanks to the ladies in the 160s thread ;) I have renewed faith in myself and my weight loss efforts... I'll be working really hard the next few weeks to get to my Spring goal!!! We can ALL do this!!! fashinjunkie09 03-03-2010, 04:33 PM stargzr, yes we can and we WILL! :) mkendrick, I know you are right so I'm going to ride it out but I'm hoping it goes away soon. How long was it before your weight was back on track? Hopefully not more than a week. I need a loss on Monday! missy, thanks for the advice about stretching I prob don't do enough of that especially before so I'm going to try that tonight and see if it gets any better. And way to go on the loss you're going to reach your goal in no time! forest, don't get too down about the candy! You are still really close to where you want to be and I'm sure you'll get back there in no time! Missita wow you're going to breeze by your goal way to go! Thanks for the support/advice ladies I really appreciate it! I'm up another lb this morning and my muscles are more sore today so I'm hoping that's it. I'm just gonna stay OP, drink lots of water and stretch alot! Lol SnowWolf 03-03-2010, 07:25 PM grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'm so frustrated. I was doing good, but I'm alittle off track! I need to change how I eat and how much! I'm changing my goal wieght for March 20. =( sw:148 cw:147 gw:140 fashinjunkie09 03-04-2010, 05:05 PM I'm sorry your not doing so great Snow, just keep at it you can do it! And there's no shame in changing your goal, I changed mine too after I realized I wasn't going to lose 10 lbs in 4 weeks. SW: 166.2 CW: 163.8 GW: 159.5 Still a little up but not as bad, so I think the water weight is going away slowly. I'm hoping for 161 something this Monday! SnowWolf 03-04-2010, 05:42 PM fashinjunkie09-Thank you so much. You will get there by monday. :hug: And I somehow lost wieght over night, I wieghed myself 3 times just to make sure the scale wasn't jacked up. sw:148 cw:143.8 (I'm not jumping up and down, I had a really hard day...but I'm happy about the wieght. I don't feel like it's going to stay there, that's just to wierd...we'll see.) gw:140 I did run/fast walk for 30-40 minutes, and didn't eat any dinner. (I ate to much earlier). mkendrick 03-05-2010, 08:09 AM SnowWolf, I'd be very pleased with progress if I were you. You've lost a good chunk, and you're close to your challenge goal :) Way to go! I have been totally sporadic with my weigh ins the last two weeks. I was in a mini-plateau, hovering between 150.5 and 149.5, so I started weighing everyday. Then that started to bum me out, so I didn't weigh on my official weigh in day (yesterday). But I weighed today, and I have hopefully finally broken through that rut. SW: 153.2 CW: 148.2 GW: 145.0 Remaining: 3.2 katiecron 03-05-2010, 08:40 AM i've been pushing myself with the exercise the last couple of weeks. doing fine, there. but until last night, i was really struggling with night snacking. healthy snacking, but in excess! very much. that put a standstill on things for the week. i think i'm good now and weighed in remarkably low this morning. 218. of course i was super excited to be in the 200 & teens, but i'm not holding my breath. maybe i should, though. last week was beginning of TOM. excited about a healthy eating workshop that at the yoga center saturday. it is really important for me to shake things up every week or so to stay motivated. next week i am going to the aquatic center to workout with a friend. i think the following week i might scam a free trial at the local gym (the nice one...) forestroad 03-05-2010, 10:16 AM fashin- thanks! i'm sure you'll be under 160 in no time. mkendrick- looks like you are definitely out of the 150s for good! katiecron- glad your standstill is over--even if the 218 doesn't stick, I bet something under 220 will :) I feel a bit better about how things are going. Waist measurement is a solid 27", so even though weight is still up a bit (133-134) I think I'm toning up and gaining muscle. My trainer moved her Omron bf% monitor so I haven't been able to do my beginning of the month test, but she'll be back from vacation soon so I can check in then. I just went grocery shopping at the natural foods coop last night so I finally have delicious fresh food to cook for myself and I am way easing up on the processed stuff. I'm going to go on a long run tonight, and things are generally feeling good! Just over 2 weeks left till new progress photos :) good luck everyone! Samantha417 03-05-2010, 11:01 AM SW:157.6 CW:149.2 GQ: 147 2 more lbs to go! This is totally doable for me!! utgirl09 03-05-2010, 11:25 AM S: 223 C:217 G: 213 2 pounds lost this week. My scale at home is a bit crazy, so it is hard for me to get a concrete number. I use the scale at the gym for my weigh ins, but I think it is a couple pounds high. I would rather overestimate than underestimate though. I am 2 1/2 weeks into no sugar! I have found that by cutting out sugar, I am naturally drinking more water. I plus that I didn't even know would happen! kuhrisuh 03-05-2010, 01:50 PM 191.2 this morning! 2 lbs until my first day of spring goal is met wooo :carrot: SnowWolf 03-05-2010, 06:02 PM SnowWolf, I'd be very pleased with progress if I were you.

I very much appreciate the support at this point. :) sw:148 cw:144 (afternoon) gw:140 maenad 03-06-2010, 08:48 AM This really has been a frustrating week. I have ran almost everyday for 2 weeks. I feel great! I have been eating very healthy, even have played around with my calorie intake, 1500 one day, 1200 the next, then 1600... and the scale hasn't moved a bit! I think i am going to adjust my goal for this challenge. Just get to 120! 117 feels impossible right now. SW:122 CW121.5 GW:120 Sanna Maria 03-07-2010, 03:30 AM Hello everyone :) Hope you've all had a good week! Just two weeks to go on this challenge, and I'm not doing as well as I was hoping :( Just checked my calorie average for the week and it came to 1440, which is above last week which came to 1370, will definitely be aiming back for under 1400 for this coming week. Also have a new workout program at the gym as of Friday so hoping that will speed the weightloss up a bit in the coming weeks. Here's my stats SW 181.9 CW 180.1 (sigh...) GW 170 (I'll try to get as close as possible) kuhrisuh 03-07-2010, 01:03 PM 190.0 ONE POUND until the 180s! woooooooooooooot shortandfluffy 03-07-2010, 01:44 PM 190.0 ONE POUND until the 180s! woooooooooooooot YAY! You can get there no problem! I totally forgot about updating this thread! I haven't been doing great, but going down a little. We went out of town again, that always messes me up. SW: 178 CW: 174.8 GW: 169 Don't know if I will make it, but I want to get as close to the 160s as possible! missyRxOx 03-07-2010, 02:36 PM SW: 197.5 CW: 194 GW: 189 -- i'm up 1lb from my last update. BUT, i did hit 192 on Thursday & Friday.. so I did lose 10lbs. but i took Friday & Saturday as 'off days' to eat healthy, but not bother counting the calories & fat... and I did well on Friday, but last night I ate some carrot cake before bed, so it said I gained 2lbs now.. oh well! official weigh-in on Wednesday .. so we'll see then! jazzang 03-07-2010, 02:58 PM SW: 173 CW: 167.5 GW: 163 over halfway there!! Jess7286 03-07-2010, 06:23 PM SW: 213.6 CW: 206.4 GW: 199 So close! The new scale threw this challenge a bit off but hey, still making progress! Chipmunk_Cheeks 03-07-2010, 07:55 PM SW:187 CW:181 GW:177 Just 4 more lbs until I reach spring goal! I hope to be in the 170's soon! We will see though...I had a huge dinner today. I didn't eat particularly bad, but just too much of it so I'm gonna give it my all when I exercise today. stargzr 03-08-2010, 09:37 AM carissa - WTG! You're so close!!! Congrats to all the ladies who've posted losses this week!!

SW: 166.2 CW: 162.3 GW: 159.5 Progress: 3.9 down, 2.8 to go Exactly the same weight as last weeks WI which is good and bad. Bad because I really wanted to see 161, but good because I did not really count calories all weekend. I didn't go crazy but I didn't stay OP and the scale shows it. Oh well I am back on track today. Looks like everyone is doing pretty good! We can do this girls! :) LBLAZY 03-08-2010, 12:05 PM SW: 159.4 CW: 150.8 GW: 150 It's been two weeks since I've weighed in here. My bad!

I did what a few people recommended: I ate a little more than i was supposed to eat for a day or two, then went back to normal, and look at that, i lost a half a pound! forestroad 03-10-2010, 10:40 AM Great job Carissa! Maenad, congrats on breaking that mini-plateau :) I haven't weighed in a couple of days; I think I'm actually up on the scale but my waist is back down from a rentention-tastic weekend and I am feeling good about the week. kuhrisuh 03-10-2010, 10:52 AM thanks girls! 188.8 this morning, so looks like I'm holding steady! : ) Scatterheart 03-10-2010, 10:56 AM Soooo, I slipped up and gained the five pounds I lost. Luckily I've been working out hard this week and eating well and I've managed to lose three of those. Long story short, I doubt I can make my goal. But that's alright with me, so long as I'm losing in the mean time. :) SW: 215 CW: 217 GW: 205 I need a downward trend to motivate myself. I hate losing and gaining the same 5-10 pounds. If I can fight to get myself out of the 200's I think it will be a game changer. I just need to stay consistent - I am so determined with weight loss while I'm doing it, it's just a matter of staying with it. I want this so much! Missita 03-10-2010, 11:28 AM Today was my weigh in day, soooo. SW: 185 CW: 174.6 GW: 175 I've reached my goal!

I'm holding steady still... BUT I'm revamping as of today and I will start losing again! I don't think I'll make my original goal, but darn it if I won't get as close a humanly possible! ;) I do WI on Sunday, so I'll post progress then. Scatterheart 03-11-2010, 11:34 AM Still on track! Down 1.5 from yesterday, somehow. Start: 215 Went up: 220 Back down: 215.5 Spring goal I don't expect to make: 205 (still happy, though!) I've been eating far better than normal, and far fewer calories of that better food. I'm also on day 3 of the 30 day shred. Going to try for 30 days in a row, eeek. I hope you guys dont mind, but Im going to try and post everyday, Im desperately trying to stick with this!

If I can't make it to that I will at least aim for ONE-DERLAND! Chipmunk_Cheeks 03-11-2010, 08:51 PM Like I just mentioned in the 180's thread, I just got down to 180 lbs today. Very excited about that guys! I can't remember the last time I was in the 170's...maybe like a year or maybe two years ago? Anywho I only have 3 more lbs to go for this challenge...I need to amp up my workouts. Only averaging like 3 workouts per week lately. ; ( SW:187 CW:180 GW:177 Sanna Maria 03-12-2010, 07:58 AM Congrats to everyone from me too! :) My scale decided to move after WI day, so I'm quite optimistic about this Sunday :) Been about 177.7 for a few days so hope I can lose another pound in two days, plan is to stay OP with calories, work out and drink lots of water. utgirl09 03-12-2010, 12:55 PM S: 223 C:216 G: 213 A slow loss this week. 1 pound. 3 pounds to go! Scatterheart 03-12-2010, 01:06 PM Congratulations to Fashinjunkie, thousoundsunny, chipmunk, sanna maria and utgirl on your weight loss! A few of you mentioned how it was a slow week --the important thing is that progress is being made, you're not gaining and you're on a downward trend. So many congratulations! I haven't finished my full first week back on plan, but Im thrilled to be feeling helathier and committed. I struggle over the weekend, usually. Let's stick with it! :) I will be reporting what I lost this week come Monday. Happy Friday, all!

And thanks Scatterheart, well done for getting back on plan and fingers crossed that you'll see a nice loss tomorrow! :) I'm really pleased today, I haven't managed to lose that much in a while so was happy to see some results on the scale today!

I'm happy though because for the past few days, i've STAYED at 192 (almost saw 191 at one point) so that means no gain.. and i'm maintaining. Let's hope by official weigh-in on Wednesday, when TOM is gone, i'll go down! stargzr 03-15-2010, 09:33 AM Ok so I should've posted yesterday, but I was sad to leave a thread on here behind... so I waited until today.

I think this will be my last post on this challenge, as i am going to Europe on Friday for a week and will miss the final weigh in day. I am a little disappointed that i only lost a pound, but i guess it is good that i didn't gain! I started a 4th of July Challenge on the Featherweights page of you would like to join me, i am planning to meet my goal weight by then!! Good luck! latinhips 03-17-2010, 08:01 PM ok Im in but I need to know how it works current weight 189 want to be 135 Chipmunk_Cheeks 03-17-2010, 11:14 PM So I was doing great for a while with steady weight loss but for some reason I just can't get below 180! ; ( This is the ultra weird part...After work yesterday I weighed myself just for the heck of it and i weighed 180 lbs, after that, I went to bed and weighed myself again in the morning...just guess how much I weighed!!! 182 lbs!! And I don't eat after I get home from work either. I guess its just water but geeez. How can going to sleep make a person gain two pounds???lol. blah anyways...i'm also about to start TOM, so that could also be contributing to wacky weight gain. The end of this challenge is coming up though...not sure if i'm gonna make it chicks! wish me luck! fashinjunkie09 03-18-2010, 05:08 PM Chipmunk, that's pretty crazy I'm sure it has to do with TOM and I hope you see a big woosh as soon as he is gone. Stay strong you can do it!! :hug: SW: 166.2 CW: 160.7 GW: 159.5 Progress: 5.5 lbs down, 1.2 lbs to go I'm getting closer! Not sure if I'll make it by Saturday but I'm hoping to be in the 150's (even 159.9) on my official WI Monday. SnowWolf 03-18-2010, 05:29 PM sw: 147 cw:144 gw: 142 I don't feel lighter. blah stargzr 03-19-2010, 09:57 AM I don't feel lighter. blah :lol: That's funny, cuz I totally feel you! fashin - You're doing great!!! Keep it up, I'm sure you can see 159.9 saturday!! I'm sad that this challenge is coming to an end. I've done fairly well and will post "officially" tomorrow morning. :) If I'm correct, everyone who participated will be posting a loss tomorrow (whether it was goal or not) and for that I'm sure we're all grateful. ;) See you all tomorrow!!! On the FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!! utgirl09 03-19-2010, 10:58 AM S: 223 C:213 G: 213 3 pounds lost! Goal hit! YAY! byebyebelly 03-19-2010, 12:08 PM weighed this morning and i'm down 1 lb. Don't think i'll be hitting goal, but a loss is a loss...its been a slow couple of weeks thats for sure!! sw:190 cw:182 gw:179 fashinjunkie09 03-19-2010, 01:22 PM Snow, I feel you too. I don't know what it is but I feel bloated and yucky I'm hoping it will go away for both of us. stargzr, thanks girl I really hope so. I want to join you in the 150's thread so darn bad! Lol. I'm sad this challenge is coming to an end too and I hope you're right about us all seeing losses! utgirl, way to go hitting your goal that's so great!! byebye, I probably won't quite make my goal either but you are right a loss is a loss and I'm sure we'll get there soon! 160.6 this morning and I feel bloated and yucky so I doubt I'll have a 1 lb loss over night, but a girl can dream right? ;) missyRxOx 03-19-2010, 01:28 PM SW: 197.5 CW: 189 GW: 189 -- so i HIT GOAL!! i wasn't all that OMGOMGOMG about it this morning, because yesterday i kept weighing myself throughout the day because the scale kept looking like it wanted to say 189 yesterday... so im just fine because it confirmed it. also, it's not official weigh-in till Wednesday for me, but because the end of this goal falls before that, i still count it :) i AM happy that I have completed a mini-goal challenge! the valentines day one didn't work out for me (did come in within a couple lbs though) -- keep up the great work everyone!! you're all doing fantastic :) fashinjunkie09 03-20-2010, 09:26 AM Congrats missy!!! SW: 166.2 CW: 160.5 GW: 159.5 Didn't quite make it, but I'm still holding out hope that I'll see 159 on Monday for my official WI. Only 1 lb away is better than nothing. Congrats to everyone who made goal! :) mkendrick 03-20-2010, 10:14 AM Well, I changed my goal from 147.2 to 145 after a fluke week of losing 3lbs. But then I went through a month long plateau where I didn't lose anything. So I did not make it to my revised goal, but I did make it to my original goal and I'm very happy with that considering I didn't lose for a month I got there exactly too...not a tenth of a pound more or less. SW: 153.2 GW: 147.2 Final weight: 147.2! Congrats to everyone who reached their goals, and to those who didn't quite make it, I'll see you in the next challenge!!! LBLAZY 03-20-2010, 10:27 AM Hey mkendrick we're at very similar weights atm! ;) SW: 159.4 CW: 147.6 (-11.8) GW: 150 Woohoo! I hit goal with some to spare! :D Definitely focusing more on toning up now more than anything, but I'm happy where things are headed, 80 lbs lost is right around the corner! :) stargzr 03-20-2010, 11:17 AM BIG CONGRATS to snow, utgirl, fashin, missy, mkendrick, lblazy!!!!! Although some of us didn't quite meet our original goals, there are losses posted for everyone and that is SUPER AWESOME!!! You've all done a fabulous job!!! :woohoo: Final: SW: 166 CW: 156 GW: 151 So I didn't make it to my goal, but I did lose 10 pounds! WOOT! Also, that only leaves me with 5 pounds left until I start maintenance. These last 10 pounds have made such a difference in my body and I can't wait until I reach my goal of 150-151! CONGRATS AGAIN EVERYONE!!! :D katiecron 03-20-2010, 11:47 AM super close. i am at 214, i think my goal was 213. maybe by the end of the day i can see that number. i happened to weigh in after the gym, so i'll let the body cool down and hop on the scale later this afternoon. fashinjunkie09 03-20-2010, 11:59 AM Congrats mkendrick, lblazy, stargzr, and katie you all did fantastic!! I was wondering what the next challenge should be? I think there's already a 4th of July Challenge but I was thinking maybe a Memorial Day Challenge (May 31)? Let me know if anyone would be interested! shortandfluffy 03-20-2010, 01:27 PM Didn't quite make it.. did lose 6lbs. though. Too many cheats :( Congrats to everyone who made it! Going to find a new one to join! SnowWolf 03-20-2010, 03:34 PM dang it! I didn't make it. This was my first challenge that I joined. But that's ok.

CW :182 GW: 170 i want to be 170 by March 20th so bad. 170 puts me at 100 lbs lost. I just want to know these 12 lbs out as quickly as possible! Umm I did not make it :-( I did lose 5 lbs though, so that's cool, but the truth is I have not been working hard AT all. I NEED TO STEP IT UP PEOPLE!!! We'll off to another challenge... Jess7286 03-21-2010, 02:13 AM I don't think I made it but I didn't weigh today (cause BL weigh is tomorrow so I'll just count that). Last week was at 202.8. Goal was 199.
