Wow, I agree with what luckyducky said about people in the challenge being inspirational! It has been amazing. I am down 6 pounds - just one more pound to go to meet my goal. Slow, but it's going!

Hi everybody Just got finished reading through the thread and so happy to hear about all your losses! I kinda fell of the wagon these past weeks, stopped exercising and haven't watched what I ate as good as I should. I did lose 1 pound since the last time I posted though. So I'm happy I didn't gain any of that weight back. I'm ready to start anew and hopefully lose a couple more pounds by Easter. It's not quite my goal but I'll be satisfied.

I just weighed in... I worked off the weight I gained last week.. so I'm sitting exactly at my ticker weight. I get lazy because 'I know how to do it' and I know how my body responds. I'm pretty sure if I stay 100% on plan till Easter that I can make my goal.

How's it going with everybody else?

Hi guys,
Just wanted to check in. I made my 5 pound goal! Yeah!!

Good job to everyone plugging away!!

I am not weighing in this week. It has been a struggle all week to stay focused on my intake - I have eaten out almost EVERY DAY this week and that totally screwed up my week. So, I don't know if I will make it to goal but I am certainly ready to refocus! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I certainly don't expect this to be easy!

I am down 6 pounds towards my 10 pound goal!!

I am down 2.4 today How about the other Saturday weighers?

Valpal - for losing the weight and staying on track.

Tonia - You will make your goal...don't give up!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

I totally forgot about this thread!! I've been MIA for a while now - the reasons are quite boring, actually. (Away on a work conference, busy with life, gained some pounds, lost some pounds. You know the drill!)

Congrats to everyone who is working hard toward their goal. One week to go!!

Horray!!! I've met my bunny hop challenge goal. It was also my first 10% goal which means I've also lost a whole 10% of my original body weight. I can't believe I did it and I'm sooo excited!!! This of course doesn't mean I am going to stop. I can't wait to see the scale go down even more

I have 9.7 pounds to go. I'm going to try super hard today. I realize that it probably won't happen but it never hurt to try! I didn't know Easter was so close. O.O I was like psh, April, yeah I can do it. I think if I don't make it, I will post pone it to my momma's birthday because when I made the goal I had april in mind, not March! Either way, I am soooo close to Onederland

I'm holding steady, no loss or gain this week... I didn't really stick to my points like I should have, but I made a better effort to exercise. Now I just have to do both at the same time. I know if I just stick to my plan this week I can make my Easter Goal. I can't wait!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Well, today is Thursday. It has been a pretty decent week this week - much better than the last THREE weeks! I feel like I am getting my grove back....!

I am not sure if I will weigh in this week or not - I guess I should to see how close I came to my Easter goal. While I don't think I gained any weight, I do not expect to meet my goal this time, though...but, I am looking forward to the next go-around! What would that be? Mother's day?

I do very much appreciate this thread - it is motivating to see how well so many of you are doing! Yea!!!

I made it! Goal was 3 lb since Feb 28th and I lost 4.5 pounds (starting weight 220.5, now 217).

These are my goals for the Easter Challenge:

- plan my food everyday
- meditate daily
- journal my food
- 3 - 4 pounds down would be great - if it happens! (I am losing pretty slow because I can't exercise right now.) Four pounds down would put me in the 200's. Wow - that seems like a big dream.

- I did plan my food every day - some days my plan changed before the day was thru - but, I was pretty mindful of what I've been eating

- I did meditate at least 5 times a week - sometimes every day - so I am happy with that

- I journaled my food every day - even days when I overate

- I lost 6 pounds - so, I am in the 200's. (under 210) YAY

I am pleased.

Well, I didn't make my Easter goal - but after the awful three weeks I didn't really expect to.

It makes me sad but I am ready to go for the next challenge!
