Down 2 this morning, but it doesn't count until Monay, which is thankfully tomorrow. Eating is getting much more on plan and I am getting back into the habits of moving more.

Down half a pound (not changing my ticker just yet). 3.5 to Easter challenge goal.

Major Water Retention
 

As of this morning I am up 6.5 pounds! WOW!!!

It is absolutely insane how much water you can retain when you take in too much salt and not enough water. WOW. 6.5 pounds in 2 days. Ugggh.

Well managed to lose my last post.....
Anyways, no change on my scale today still 210 ,but at least it didnt go up from last week. I 'm not really suprised to be honest , i only half heartily counted in the evenings last week and had wine every night(bad i know)
SOooo this week i will count everything, and get on the treadmill.

Official weigh in for last week. Down 3.4 pounds. Hoping for another good week.

Congratulations to everyone who is well on their way in the challenge! Hope you all have a very successful week.:hug:

Is it too late?
 

HI,
Is it too late for me to join the challenge? I think t will be just the thing to motivate me to meet my goal. :) Anyway, here are my stats:

Beginning of challenge weight (2-15) 157.1
Challenge goal loss: 7 lbs.
End of challenge goal weight: 150.1

This morning I weighed in at 156.0. Ugh. That's what I get for eating waaaaay too much yesterday. I've learned by experience that if I eat properly for the next 2 days the extra weight will go away.
My "program" is keeping a loose track of my calories and listening to my body - intiuitive eating. Also, drinking as much water as I can.

Well FINALLY a 1lb loss for me this week! I haven't been posting because I've been stuck at 192 for 3 weeks!!!! It's been driving me crazy. I have been losing some inches though, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I adjusted my ticker to reflect updated weight...

Back to 140!!!! It's all downhill from here!

losin water weight
 

Well, I've managed to drop all but 1 of those extra water-weight pounds that I woke up to Monday morning... :carrot:

Now, I shall continue my diligent calorie-counting and drop the remaining 3.5 pounds that I have left to lose before Easter! We can do it, Ladies! Hang in there! :hug:

PS. Don't forget to drink enough water so that you can help avoid potential water-weight and bloating -- it sux! :p

I am having problems with my teeth and am having a hard time eating. I go to the dentist after easter so maybe I will be losing my weight but not in a goos way.lol. Actually because I am having a hard time eating I think I may start slim fast( generic brand) so at least I can get some nutrients. My kids are laughing at me cause I had to mush my banana up and est it with a desert spoon.

I weighed in today... 154. :mad: I guess it could be worse... it's only up .3 from last week. Now I'm worried that I won't make my goal.
Congrats to all of you who lost this week! WTG and keep up the hard work! :)

Still hanging in there ate 140. Hoping to see 139 tomorrow. Then will try to maintain that over the "birthday weekend": dinner out Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a lunch meeting on Saturday. AARGH!!!

This weekend will be my first weifht in without TOM or sodium to deal with I hope the scale gods will be kind to me.

Oh, oh, I'd like to join! I'm gonna try to lose 7 lbs by Easter.

I'm in for 5 lbs by easter! That should put me at 224. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I'd love to join! I'd like to lose 3 lbs. by Easter, putting me at 135. :)

Down to 139 this morning!!!! Hope it stays.

Joining very late because I just finished my St.Patty's Day challenge.

I have a HUGE mental hurdle about 140 and have been mini sabotaging for a couple weeks. So for easter my goal is to lose 1.6 lbs and get to 139. Thats it.

I'm totally with you, Ennay!!!

down to 137!!

Got into the 140's today!!

:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

This morning the scale gods blessed me I am down to 135.5:woohoo:

Wy to go Canadian Mom and Nineteen! That is FANTASTIC!!! WOW!!!!! I weigh in tomorrow -- hope to see 140-even!

Good luck determined!!!

(and thank you!)

I missed your post yeaterday congrats nineteen it is a good feeling to go from one set of tens to another.

d2s~ How about that weight in.I hope you made it to your 140

139.8 today :woohoo:

and hey canadian...you made that healthy BMI!!!

i'm in!

i want to be back down to 212 by easter.

So are ennay and doesn't it feel good!:yay:

I'm way late, but I just noticed this calorie counting group yesterday, so... yeah =)

10 pounds by next weigh-in - I want to break the 160s! - which is the day after Easter. I'm starting late, but that just means I have to work a little harder.

!54.6 this morning. Bah. I don't understand why, either, because on Saturday I was at 152. I ovulated Sunday, so maybe that has something to do with it. I don't think I have a chance of hitting my goal at the moment, but I'm going to keep trying.
Congrats to all of you who hit your goals this week - yay Ennay for breaking your 140 wall!

Don't know what's up with me either. I ate very, very OP yesterday and managed to gain a pound. No fretting, though. It'll be gone by the weekend, I"m sure.

Weird
 

OK, strange things are up with my weight. 2 weeks ago things were going fine, I was down to 140, and happy as a clam. Since then, I retained lots of water (knowingly, due to high salt intake for a few days) -- that made my weight shoot up 6-7 lbs... Got rid of that, went down 5 lbs... didn't go back to the 140, but almost... then ever since, it's been creeping up about a pound per day every other day. My calories are an average of 100 MORE each day than they had been 2 weeks ago... i'm up to 145 now. :?:

This is really annoying. Now I know what they mean when they say the "last few" pounds are the hardest to lose. Sonething tells me I will be VERY lucky if I make my 138 goal by Easter (even tho 2 weeks ago I was only 2 lbs away) :(

BUT, I'm not worried! I am still determined to make it! :carrot:

Well, March 23 is here. I havent posted for awhile but i have been reading. Everyone is doing great!!!! I am down to 207 ( i know i should wait for monday but i have decided friday is going to be weigh in day . The week has gone alright one slipup ( mcdonalds) but it actually made me feel gross, so maybe it was a good thing. Postive thinkng is my new policy!
HOpe everyone has a great weekend!
:)

I'm down two pounds this week and have nine more to go.

Gotta hang in there though....

I REALLY want to reach my goal.

WTG athenac!

2lbs. is a very nice loss for one week.

Bummer, bummer, bummer. I'm up this week to 141.5. Not horrible, but I should be down to 139 by now. I've really got to stick to my guns now!!!

determined~ hang in there!! You are so inspiring to me, btw.

allinell~ I know the feeling. Stay strong you WILL get there.

That last .5 of pound is hanging on good but I did get some good news I am down 2 inches (all over) so my waist is FINALLY under 29 inches.

I didn't post last week so This week I am down three plus .9 from last week. Down 3.9 and I am 0.6 away from my origional Easter goal. I adjusted the goal at St. Paddy's day though. I now have 2.1 to lost to get to my Easter goal of 11 pounds lost from 199.5 - 188.5. I should be able to do it.

0.6 more and I am down 25 pounds. 25 pounds in 11 weeks... I'll take that.
