  • Well, I am 144 as of this morning.

    I was 140.6 a few days ago.... major water retention. I just feel like not eating for 2 days just so that I can maybe see 139... I know that sounds crazy but I am feeling bad that I slacked off so much in the past few weeks. I mean, I actually ate french fries and ice cream yesterday! What was I thinking...

    OK - it's not the end of the world. I've got 2 days to prove to myself that I can stay on track. Whatever happens, happens. If I see goal, then wonderful. If i don't, then at least I will know that for the last 2 days of the challenge I was discliplined enough to try to make a change.

    We'll see what happens Sunday morning.
  • OK here is my plan. I am restricting my calories for the last two days of the challenge (Friday and Saturday) I am going to drink plenty of tea and water to get rid of the water retention and eat few calories to calorie-cycle myself back into a 1300 average for the week. Then I'll step on the scale Easter Sunday morning and see what the results are! Either way I won't be disaspointed *IF* I stick to my de-tox/few-calorie/plan regimine for today and tomorrow.

    Good luck to everyone! Make these last few days count!
  • lots of non-fat yogurt, non-fat cottage cheese, herbal tea, english muffins w/ lite butter, and salads for today and tomorrow... :-)
  • My Easter Goal was to hit 190. I changed that mid way and decided that I wanted to get to 188.5 because that was closer to my end of April goal. I did get to my 190 which was my original (and probably wiser) goal. I am considering my Easter goal a success. Who knows I may be down 1.5 by Sunday yet, but I guess if I do that will just be considered gravy. Having halibut for supper. My meals are all planned for tomorrow since I am going out before the hockey game I preplanned the whole day. I even accounted for a couple lite beer just in case. I Need to get on the water for today.
  • I was good Friday
    OK I did well today... stuck to my plan of no junk food. The most high-calorie thing I had today was the ranch dressing I ate with my salad. YAY. OK... one more day till Easter Goal. If I can be extra good tomorrow, I shall see what the scale says Sunday morning. I know Easter is just another day, but I want to see what happens if I stick to this to try to get the water retention off... that reminds me -- better go drink some more water & tea! Good luck to all.
  • Wow! I guess not only did I make my original goal of 190. I made my revised goal of 188.5. I actually passed it by one half and tomorrow is the end of the challenge. I will definetly stay on track today! Next Goal is to get to 182.5 by April 30. If I can do that, I will have lost half of my total weight goal.
  • WTG Nicker!!!!! That's awesome!

    For me, down another half pound this morning to 138. No way I'll make my goal of 136, but it feels SO GOOD to be on my way once again!
  • Alinnell - Wow you are so close to your goal. I know how frustrating it is when the scale stalls on you. Congratulations on getting to this point. You should be truly proud!

    Thanks, Nicker! I was actually lower than this in November, but those darn holidays messed me up! It's taken me since Christmas to get back on track and really lose. It is a long haul, but I'm up for it now! Nothing more motivating than seeing the scale go DOWN!!
  • Is every one posting their finale weight tomorrow. I will weight myself to see if I am down 10 133 again that would be 2 pounds past goal.
  • YES - everybody please post your final weights TOMORROW!!!! Thanks.
  • Quote: I'm in for 10lbs...I am so excited today I finally broke into the 170's and my sz 12P levis fit PERFECTLY!!! I've been wearing pants 2 sizes too big for the past month!! Today 178 BY Easter I'm hoping for 166...thats pretty close to what I was before I quit smoking!!
    THIS was my goal...and this morning I weighed in at 166.4 close enough dont you think???? 2 more lbs and I will be where I was before I quit smoking!!! Anything below that will be the lowest since having children!!!

    When I posted my goal my 12P levis fit perfectly....yesterday I was out wearing a pair of sz 10 gap jeans!! Perfect fit!! didn't have to squeeze into them at all!!
  • Quote: I'm up for the challenge....let's see April 8th.....6 pounds will be my goal.

    That will put me at 136 (where I was at Thanksgiving!).
    This was my goal, but I came up a tad bit short. 138. I'm NOT complaining though!!!

    Happy Easter!
  • Made it!!!
    My goal was to be at 138 lbs (a 7-lb loss)

    I just weighed in at 138.2!!!!! Whooohoooo!!!!!

    Yay!
  • I didn't make my goal. I did lose 7 pounds though. I can't complain about that.
