I just wanted to post and say I am so in for this challenge! It was a bit difficult to figure out what my goal weight should be so I hope I've set a healthy end point.
I'm a slow loser (hehehe) thanks to my PCOS, Hypo, IR, etc. Plus a hectic life that has me eating out 3-4 times a week. So here is hoping this would at least motivate me to keep on plan! Its my first challenge!
I have been unable to post the past few weeks, Riestrella but will be ready to post for next week. Can I be re-added for the next weigh-in please?
Thanks

Done, you'll be listed at the bottom until Monday, which is when I re-alphabetise and colour code the spreadsheet.
So I signed up for a "running meet-up" in my city, and yesterday I did 3 miles with this lady who organizes them. She's a little faster than me (but not so fast that I was dying) and I managed to keep up until about the last mile or so. I really really hope I didn't slow her down too much, because that was the fastest I've ever done 3 miles. I hope I can run with her again, because it made me really push myself. Peer pressure does wonders. :P
I am feeling a bit better about myself since I last posted. I had freaked out because I got back over 184 but the very next day I was 180.2. Still not pleased, but it's better than 184. As for buckling down, this is an awful week to do it. I'm trying really hard but thing just keep getting thrown at me. First it was my boss's birthday and I ate a little crap to be polite and social. Then Monday night I got super sick and it turns out I have bronchitis for the 3rd time in 3 months. Which means no treadmilling until I can breathe without dying. And because I was miserable yesterday we ordered pizza (Thank goodness for miracles, I didn't gain anything). AND then we found out the rehearsal dinner on Friday is pizza and wings. No healthy options. Bleh. Hopefully next week will be better.
Tiny Tiger, wedding is on Saturday. I go back to try on my altered dress today! I hope everything looks beautiful /crosses finger. It should, it's a very flattering dress. Maybe I'll post a picture later =)
Daki, that happened to me this weekend! I went up to 184 suddenly and the next day I was at 180. I hate it when my body does this. Today I was at 182. I forced myself to not snack today (for the most part, teehee) because I've been bad about that lately. Being at home means I'm surrounded by delicious treats and drinks. But I made dinner tonight from one of my diet cookbooks - turkey meatloaf (one of my favorites) with succatash. I had to leave for work before it was done so I'll eat when I get home tonight. I really hope my family liked it. My life will be a lot easier if I can handle the big meals. :P
well my week started off a bit rocky but.....................i had a perfect day today with my calories! weigh in on sunday. my period makes me crave evryting in sight. but im good now!
Hello!
I would love to join this challenge I have two weddings to attend in the summer and I am turning the 30 in April with a birthday cruise.. I need to get serious and I think joining will keep me motivated! It is great seeing everyone's excitement and cheers! <---- need this totally~
musicalastronaut-running clubs are awesome. you meet new people, network, and generally have a good time. I'm glad you found something you like.
Daki-it's REALLy hard having an active lifestyle and trying to lose weight. wouldn't it be so easy if we could just lock ourselves away, or better yet go to a RANCH i.e. biggest loser style and come back skinny? And the part that's even harder is that the more weight you lose, the better you feel, and the more inclined you are to socialize. it's a bit cruel, but approach it with a great attitude. You may have had a few days of off plan eating, but it's nothing tomorrow can't fix.
kimmyskelter-I'm right there with ya on the cravings. I know it's coming when I start day dreaming about bowtie pasta tossed with fresh grilled chicken, caramelized sweet onions, roasted portabella mushrooms, crisp pancetta, gorgonzola and heavy cream.
I'm seriously dying to see what happens on monday weigh in. I cheated a little by weighing myself tonight and I got a 248.6. Still a loss, but I'm really hoping to reach my -100lb mark by monday. I'm not so sure I can reach it but it would be absolutely AMAZING.
