Excellent, NSV, got up early and went to the gym. Didn't do too bad, foodwise, last day of class tomorrow!! YAY! I better pass the test. I'm feeling pretty confident.
Wooo -- congrats everyone! Even if you haven't lost, or even done a WI, sticking around here is the best thing, as it keeps us all accountable!
Me, I lost 1 pound! I had a hard week: I lost a friend, and my Dad. Strangely (or not so), it has helped me focus on my health. I'm going to keep at this!
I was wondering where you went, Lizzie. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, and what a huge accomplishment it is to have lost even with so much going on. Hang in there!
kelijpa---I HOPE to cross the 10% threshold at my next WI (next Thursday evening). After that, I'll have to start thinking about my next mini-goal. Any ideas?
Aero - Would another 10% work for you? It has for me so far. I just take 10% of the weight I'm at following the 10% loss and go from there. I'm working on my third 10% goal now. My first was 33 lbs, my second was 29, this one is 26... and so on and so on. Or! Maybe if you wanted it regulated you could do 5-10 lbs at a time.
Lizzie - so sorry to hear about your loss. i lost my dad this summer to a freak accident and it's still really hard but eventually you can smile at the memories and that's good you're using this sad time as motivation to do really good! good for you. hope everything turns out ok!
on another note i just weighed - in. didn't even want to. really was dreading it. i did some version of the wendie plan this week varying my points, having a super high day, etc. and really did.. NO excersise. though i think it's supposed to be a huge part of it. so i was discouraged. felt like i was eating a lot and not burning anything off. BUT... I LOST 2.4 POUNDS! i almost crapped myself when i saw it.. seriously. i'm below 150 pounds for the first time since... i think middle school. i am so excited right now i could scream haha. i don't FEEL much thinner... def not below 150. but i'll take it!!! what a good way to end a long week!
YAY ifindhope!!! WTG! That's a fantastic loss. Sometimes our bodies can just creep up and surprise us, huh?
I just got back from my meeting... And of course we were talking today about bumps in the road and stress and stuff that was freakishly relevant to my life right now. It was a really good meeting for me to go to right now.
And despite two weeks of hamburgers and french fries, Cadbury Mini Eggs and homemade chocolate-zucchini bread, laziness and no water... I still managed to lose 0.8. It's not even a pound, but the heck if I'm going to be disappointed with ANY loss this week! So even though it's tiny I'm giving myself a giant WTG
Lizzie and Ifindhope, I'm sorry to hear of your losses. I'm glad to see that you're sticking on program and adding to the pressures with emotional eating.
Everyone is doing such a great job! What a wonderful losing week we are having!
Suite- I wanna do your diet and still lose weight Easter candy....YUM!!!
Well, it appears that switching to CORE was the shake up that my body needed to get losing faster. I lost 2.8 lbs at weigh in this morning. AND I made it to my 25lb mark! Woohooooooo! I am very psyched this morning! I am going to stick with CORE another 2 weeks I think. I can't weigh-in next week because I'll be out of town, so I won't have my next totals till our April weigh-in.
Group Total: -34.8 lbs!

Reason: Almost forgot to add the group total
Thank you for your kind words, everyone. In spite of the hard week, I still managed to lose another pound! Chugging along, slowly and steadily... Congrats everyone, on hanging in there!
