2.6 lbs to go within 5 days...may not make it but I'm hoping to get close!
Another ugly wet rainy and muggy day...wishing the sun would shine again.
Daughter is missing practices due to this nasty ugly weather!
Getting a small workout in today..stomach is a little tore up.
With that note I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Good morning everyone Hope you all had a great weekend.
Quickie post for now as I am getting ready to go to the store. Yay on the losses
kfunk and Ronja Congratulationssss on making goal! and to anyone I missed. Ronja I hope you had a lovely vaca with your girls, wb
Congrats to everyone on the progress, in every way, and losses! Wow, we still have 5 more days to go and then we have completed our month! Onto our new day and wishing you all a great one!
Nichols That is fantastic! I love seeing your charts ladies, very inspirational. Nichols it is cool to see how it can fluctuate but then busts down lower! Very inspirational! Yucky weather here too but it should be getting better next week. Good time for buckling down and finishing out the month strong and then when the nice weather hits will feel great!
As for me, the weekend went well. Did not have the haddock as planned (missing an ingredient) but we will have that tonight. Had zoodles...I lost 1.6 over the weekend so happy. 5.5 lbs. down so far, 1.3 to go to meet goal.........sooo close. I will keep at it and see what happens. It really does help to stay accountable like this, it makes me work harder! smiling
Keep up the great work everyone, wishing you all a great day and a big hi to all of you. Britt, Vickie, lea, nancy...congrats on the losses girls. Nancy, I ended up having the zoodles last night! lol they are fillinggg, more on that later but yum!
Here I am, slinking back into the room with my tail tucked. Life's been happening(caught a cold, power outage, hubby home due to storms) so finding time to workout and watch my diet has been filling my little free time, posting here was just more than I could get to.
I'm a bit of a workout slacker also, shoulder tendonitis has limited my workouts and I just can't seem to help grabbing the weights every time it's almost better. Almost but not quite, so I keep reinjuring it. I have to leave them alone for a few weeks this time for sure. I'm doing squats like crazy though so that's at least some weight bearing type exercise for now. Not drinking enough water either but I'm back on target today.
Everyone in my house is back where they belong, school and work, so I can get myself all straightened out now. I'll miss goal but a good month over all considering disruptions.

I hope that I can drop some more before my TOM starts, but it might be close! I want to update my ticker, but the last time it did, I got stuck for a week
Quick update today since I am a few days behind! It's been such a busy past few days that I haven't even been weighing in, and we have eaten out a couple times. I kept on track as far as calories go, and I've been getting in my walks, but haven't been doing very well with the water and went overboard on the bread yesterday at a restaurant. So, I'm thinking I must be bloated from it all, because my weigh-in was back up to 246.2 today. Ugh. Needless to say, this is going to be an unsuccessful week overall, but I will take it in stride because the month as a whole has been going pretty well so far. Just a bump in the road! I will make up for it this coming week.

15 100.5

17 100.9 I had a really bad day yesterday and I ate crazy stuff. Fast today!
18-26 Out of town, did not weight.
27 99.5
28 99.5
I'm pleased with staying under 100 for two days in a row. If it sticks, I should need just one fast day to drop to my March goal weight of 98.5 as I know I tend to lose 1 kg during fasts.
opheliaphoenix if I tracked my progress weekly, I too would have very dissapointing weeks. Some weeks I lose nothing and the next week doing exactly the same I lose four pounds. It's good that you're looking at the bigger picture, your progress so far has been amazing!
NightSnacker your overall loss for this month is pretty great I think, I'm sure you will drop to 251-ish if your recent gain is just dehydration and salt! Well done on losing so much under such complicated circumstances!
Hi Ophelia!! You have such a good attitude!! I am sure that the bloat will be washed away and you will get to a new low very soon! Good job staying within your calories when you went out to eat, and also, staying on top of your walks!
The worst part of my cold is over and tonight I am finally going to start lifting weights! eeek... hopefully it goes well! I am going to weigh in on Saturdays from now on until my body adjusts to my new routine, but I will check in everyday still!
Well to say I am disappointed is an understatement. I keep looking over my food and ....not seeing why my body hates me this much Feb saw only a 3lbs loss this month so far 1.2......I want a new body
Week 4
22-157.8
23-158.8 hope this is just water retention
24-158.8 well it is still here
25-160.8 woza don't know what happened
26-159.8 ok going down some
27-159.0
28-159.0
Total loss for week four +1.2
Wow I'm looking over everyones losses this month.
Not totally caught up but I'm trying.
Ronja congrats on goal and still moving on down!
Ophelia bread gets us all now and then but those numbers are still a great win. I'm trying to catch up to you but you are still going so fast!
Nancylmrn I bounce like you do, it's disheartening sometimes but the trend is still downwards after all, that's what counts. I was getting very frustrated then I added squats and that kicked things a bit faster. I hate them so much but no denying they are helping. Seem to burn calories like crazy!
kfunk when I added weights my loss stalled for awhile, I started measuring then and that kept me from losing my mind. Pound of fat is so much bigger than a pound of muscle, it really is true. I think sometimes at first my muscles were so sore and swollen that I actually seemed to gain a bit. It evened out after the first month though.
Lovelyleah congrats on the goal win!
Nicholsfamily, you have great numbers this month, you and weekendboater might make it to goal still!

Ronja: Thank you! You are doing great, as well...almost to your second goal for the month!
kfunk6113: Thank you...thankfully, it is already starting to flush back out. Hoping it will continue to settle back down over the last few days, lol. Glad you're starting to feel better and good luck with the weights!! I'll be following your progress closely on that because I am looking at doing the same things soon...I'd make sure to measure yourself right as you start too, so any stalls you may have due to muscle building won't be disruptive to your motivation when you will be reshaping yourself! You've got this!
nancylmrn: I'm so sorry you're still have a frustrating time with everything!
NightSnacker: Bread is definitely a ninja, lol...it's one of my biggest weaknesses, food-wise. And, nice whoosh today!! I love when those big ones happen.
________________________________
Weigh-in was back down to 244.6 today, so it looks like I am starting to depuff from my last few days...thinking I was in carb overload, especially from that dang tasty bread. My rings are still tight when they are normally a little loose now, so I know I still have some bloating going on, but I am happy that there is a least some loss to show for this week afterall. And, it also helps to realize that I hit my month's goal way back on the 18th...I never keep track of that, it seems! Haha. So, that takes the sting out a little, as well. We'll see what these last few days of the month will bring!

I've been so sick this past month so I honestly don't know if this weight loss will stick >.<
Keep up the good work ladies!
I am exhausted and this is the third time I've tired posting this today.
Weight was still down today but ate alot of bread today so I wouldn't be surprised if it is up tomorrow.
Next month I'm going to lower my weight loss from 10 pounds to probably about 7. Because I know that's manageable.
I'm going to end this I hope everyone has had a great Tuesday! Thank God tomorrow we are half way throught the work week!

As frustrating as this is..I am perfectly fine with it right now because it could be going up and it's not. TOM is almost over with and then it's back at it hard. Get closer and closer to my goal weight....but still have alot of work to do!
