My official weigh-in date for the challenge is Saturday, and unfortunately I was up 2.2 pounds (305.8). Thankfully, this morning my weigh in was 301. After 5 days of up or no loss, I'm finally losing again. Too bad it was too late for the challenge. Hopefully, next week's weigh-in will show a big loss for our team.

The great news is with one more pound gone I will be at 60 pounds total loss since Jan 02,2008. And with only 2 more pounds and I'll finally be under 300. I'm gonna be so happy! :broc:

wooohooow! happy Sunday!
Just got back from a 15 mile bike ride (72 minutes!) and I'm feeling AWESOME - I have to go and cook myself some dinner!

Hi All

Hope all you moms had a good mothers day. I'm only the mom to 2 cats. :)

Yesterday was my 1-year weight loss anniversary. I took the weight from my last weigh in calling it 105lbs in one year. Not so shabby!

Hopefully I'll have a small but decent loss to report in the morning.

Hope you have a great start to the new week!

csChick -

CONGRATS on the 60, and I'm so very excited for you to almost be in the 200s!!! YEAY!

Hello Red team!! Seems like its been ages since I've checked in! Graduation is finally over! Was a very eventful, exciting and I'm exhausted! LOL!

I've still got family here so my time spent at home and online is spotty but I wanted to wish everyone a fantastic week!! I'm taking a freebie this week for obvious reasons!

Dont forget Week 2 Weigh ins are due Monday 11:59 pm EST!

I put this on the old thread so I better put it on the new one.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Hope all the lovely ladies here had a wonderful mothers day. Sure glad the weekend is over. Will tell you about it tomorrow.

Congrats Melissa

I am pretty happy with myself. The docs offices scale was re calibrated last week. When I went in friday the snotty nurse that tells everyone how they should add a few pounds because the scale is alwasy off said to me, " You better add 5 pounds to what you weighted because that is how much the scale was off. Well I weighted in a 1 pound more than I had the last time I was there lol. Which really means a loss not a gain but it will all come out in the wash so I am ok with that lol. Wish they had re calibrated right before our first weigh in so my starting weight for the challenge would have been right lol. I thought I had been loseing weight lol. My first weigh in should have been 147 instead of 142 so now 143 is pretty good for me.

Gonna post this over here too since I had it in the old thread...

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's out here!!
My mother's day has been an up and down day. Woke up not feeling well, my husband took me to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe, I ordered an egg white, ham, cheese, & broccoli omelet, fresh fruit, and a carrot muffin. The only thing I could stomach to eat was the fresh fruit. I've only had that, plus about 1/4 of the muffin, a couple of chips, and a protein cookie. I think I either have the 24 hour bug or food poisoning, hopefully nothing more serious. I need to be running outside this week and if I'm sick I'm not going to be able to. I have the 5k next Saturday already. Here's to hoping I wake up tomorrow feeling 100% better. I probably should not have attended the arena football game today, but it was so much fun.

I broke my fever this morning around 4:30, gosh I hate that feeling! Sweaty yet cold, can't get comfortable. I'm still not feeling the greatest but I'm going to try to make it to work. I hope everyone has a great Monday! Oh and I had a 3 pound loss for this week! I'm sure a lot of it has to do with yesterday :( Not the way I want to lose, but it's a jump start to they system.

Plan for the week:
Monday:
Jogging with my son outside if nice otherwise on the treadmill
Tuesday:
Boot camp with M&A
Wednesday:
Jogging with my son outside if nice otherwise on the treadmill
Thursday:
Boot camp with M&A
Friday:
6.5 hour car drive to ND (may have to get a jog in in the morning)
Saturday:
5k starting at 8:15 am CT (son's 1.2 Youth Run starts at 4:20 pm
Sunday:
6.5 hour car drive to NE (talk about a short weekend!) all of this driving for 40 minutes of jogging...doesn't seem right! :lol:

I prolly should take a freebie week as well...:( sigh....

Good morning all! How was everyone's weekend? DH and I had a nice day yesterday. my FIL came over to watch the kiddos and dh and I got to take a motorcycle ride. We went up to Oklahoma and he took me to a cat fish restaurant there. It was excellent food, just waaaay of the diet. I guess it doesn't hurt to splurg every once in a while huh? :) I was pretty bummed. I weighed myself friday morning and I was down to 156, but this morning for weigh in, I was 157. It is that TOM for me, so that is probably the reason still, a bummer. Should have good numbers for next weigh in tho! Well, since I took the day off yesterday for mothers day, I have some SERIOUS house work to do today. Looks like a tornado went thru my house! I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning ladies~ I hope everyone had a great weekend. Kev and I went hiking Saturday, and had a fantastic time. It was nice just to be alone with him. Yesterday I went to church with my mom and then we went over to Kev's moms later in the afternoon. Nice realxing day overall. Eating wasn't the best this weekend, but I'm ready for a good week. I have to weigh-in still for this week. I'll do that after this and post my weight. After this weekend though not sure how good it's going to be. I'm headed back to the gym today though. My SIL decided to at least make the gym twice a week and then the rest of the days we'll walk outside. I just think we need to mix it up a little more, so hoping to do that in the gym. Vegas is getting closer and closer...can't wait. Well I should get moving along over here. Have a great Monday everyone:)

csChick- Congrats on being so close to 60 lbs lost. That is fantastic:)

Kellybones- 15 mile bike ride...you go girl;)

Muse- I have to say you are truely inspiring....105 lbs lost in one year! Keep it up girl...you rock!

Rennie- That nurse would be getting a scale up her arse if she was like that with me!LOL!

Andi- I hope you feel better. My stomach was off a few days last week. Great job on the loss:)

Diva- What's with the sad face mama? You can't possibly feel bad about your efforts this past week. You worked your butt off! Keep that head high girl!

Steph- How nice of your FIL. Your right every now and then a little splurge is needed. You enjoyed it so just move on and don't let it make you feel guilty! Good luck with the house...I hate when it hits that point!LOL!

Have a great day ladies~

Good luck on your 5K. I did answer about where I'm going in ND in the old thread. I didn't realize there was a new one. I will be all over from Watford city to Grand Forks, but mainly staying in Velva/Minot.

csChick are you a Lostie? :) I see from your avatar that you are. My DH and I are total Lostafarians. :) We named our 3rd child Penelope! She would have been Desmond if a boy.... Anyway. We should chat sometime. Are you on the Lostpedia forum? I lurk a lot but don't post much.

I'm back to being committed today. I'm not sure why the change. I'm down .5lb since a few days ago when i weighed in officially so I'm happy - maybe that spurs me on. I've had a lot of setbacks in the last two months - unexpected death in the family leading to extra travel (and it's very hard for me to stay OP around my family :( ), then I had shingles and was not allowed to exercise (frankly who wants to with that pain?) but hopefully no one will die for awhile now and the shingles is gone!

My non-scale goal right now is to wear these cute bermuda shorts memorial day weekend. They are too tight to zip (at least if I want to keep breathing!) right now, but I'm hoping to post a picture of myself in them at the end of the month!

Well I lost a whole whopping half a lb. I really wanted more with all the exercise I did last week. Guess I'll have to try harder this week.

I'm so depressed today. I just want to crawl in a hole. I'm still going to try my best to stay on plan today though. Tomorrow will be better.

Have a great day everyone.
