2: 247.4 (-4.8)

Onwards for another good day!

Wow! Congratulations! I'm jealous lol. And you never know. I remember when I went back on my diet after Thanksgiving, I lost 18 lbs in 2 weeks.

Congratulations on your losses!

[Eliana]

Wow you guys! Such fabulous successes!

Slimby, 177!! I dream about that weight you tiny little thing! LOL!

Gormet, you'll get that 40 lbs! And when you do, you will actually be amazed at how little time it took. It doesn't feel like it as you're doing it, but the time actually does speed by.

VL, come on! You can do it!! I'm so glad to see you posting here in this thread. I find it very motivational.

Econ, whoosh, whoosh!! LOL! I don't care if it is "just water weight" 4 lbs in a day is pretty awesome! I have a friend at work who weighs what I weigh at the same height. She talks about losing weight and I'm jealous of her because if she would just get herself going she'd drop 10 lbs over me just like that!

PM, you've had a rough go of it lately. I can't believe you've been sick for so long. I bet this weight loss will at least stick if not continue it's downward trend. Congratulations on your five months! I hit my five 4/9.

Getnfit, story of my life! LOL! I'm certain your tiny gain is because you've increased the exercise. It happens to me each and every time and for me it lasts a month!! I'm just preparing you.

Angi, nice loss!! You are off to a great start for another big loss month!!

As for me...I don't know what my weight is today. LOL! I kind of manipulated the scale to drag a one pound loss out of it. Pre-workout 195.4 and post-workout (having drunk lots of water and I ate breakfast first): 194.2. I really hope to see at least 194.2 tomorrow!!!

Well, not sure if I like this...lol
I weigh myself everyday, but it is very much a roller coaster so we will see if this is motivation or aggravation.

It is nice to see everyone so motivated! Great job on all the losses!
I did weigh in yesterday...down .6 to 276. My husband and I were painting my Mom's kitchen. From prep time to complete finish it took us 6+ hrs!! I am so sore and swollen today! I was afraid to weigh in this morning; good news, I am up but only by .2. I was expecting much worse!
My husband has joined in my journey. It is nice to have someone in the house working with me; but it is discouraging when I eat less and he loses more!!

[econ nerd]

Another good day - this will slow down soon!

1: 252.2
2: 247.4 (-4.8)
3: 246.2 (-1.2 total -6.0)

Good work everyone!! Let's keep Easter weekend on track

[PeanutsMom704]

congrats everyone, so much great progress!!!!

And since it's 3 days now, I'm claiming my whoosh and my new chickie!

Wow Slim!! What did you do to get such a great whoosh??

[Angihas2]

1: 225.2
2: 224.4
3: 223.0

I really think the sleep and absolute lack of stress in my life is the culprit of the loss. I could stress over everything going on, but decided it would only be a circle that would be hard to get off of. Sleep is always a must have for me to lose weight. Dunno if I'm right, but it's working!

[bythenumbers]

1. not sure
2. 247
3. 244.4 (-2.6)

I like weighing on Saturday Mornings, something about giving my muscles time to warm up and get past the swelling but before I eat/drink/workout, before I get on the scale, is where the loss shows.
Of course 30 minutes on the elliptical yesterday helped too! Thanks again to all of you who told me your stories and that I wasn't the only one. Try again, it will get better.... I kept those words playing in my head the whole time!

[patchworkpenguin]

Good Morning All!

221.4 down .6

Angi, enough sleep and lack of stress are always wonderful things.

PM, Congrats on the new chickie

Saksn, My Hubby isn't even trying to lose weight, and I feel he's doing better than I am. How great to have him working with you.

[gettnfit]

Wow.. everyone is doing so well.

I am down this morning to 170.6... so close. I stayed on track really well yesterday. I actually didn't exercise to give my legs a break. Did lots of yard work, cleaned the car- hope that counts for something. Movies at night... I didn't have a single snack- brought water with me and went to bed with my tummy grumbling... it was worth it to see the number on the scale this morning.

I plan to do a long bike ride today.. to keep the momentum going.

[Angihas2]

gettn...you are so close to a new decade, I just know we'll see your announcement this weekend!!

Ladies, I think we're all starting the month of fantastically, I'm proud of us all...let's keep it going and see where we can be by May 1
