I've been eating right...exercising my butt off but refuse to get on the scale just yet...TOM just ending yesterday so I'll weigh in and update on Friday! You all are doing great, keep up the good work :)

well TOM ended today and I lost a lb :) so I am at 191...6lbs from my valentines goal!!!! and...I am 2lbs from my prepreg weight!!!!!! ....i did have a mini goal of 189 by today but I am happy with 191...hopefully I am 188 by friday :)

It definitely is normal to have set backs! One of the reasons I have failed in the past losing weight and keeping it off is I let one set back throw me completely off. The key is to say, I messed up...no one is perfect...but I am right back on track. I had a bad night last night at a Super Bowl party. Cake, cookies, chips, pizza, but I did notice I was better then I would have been in the past. I didn't drink any calories and had 2 pieces of pizza instead of 3 or 4. This morning I went right back to eating on plan. That's not the only setback I've had but I have been much more forgiving of myself this time around. This is a life style change not a quick diet.

Not too bad
 

I only gained .5lbs after my vacation. I was thinking it would be much worse due to so much salt intake. :)
6lbs to Valentine's Day goal. I think it is lofty but especially with TOM right before VD.

What should our next goal be? Maybe St. Pat's Day goal? Or Easter/Passover goal?

i have made an easter goal of losing 18 pounds (easter is march 23 by the way, about a month and a half). if anyone wants to join me on that easter goal :)

just keep thinking....bikini body...lol

i've lost another pound or so just to update, kind of got off track a little this weekend but i am getting right back on this week to pump out another 3 pounds by next monday :carrot:

hey all ANOTHER lb GONE!!!! yay!!! 190....almost out of the 90's!!! I may make my valentines goal yet...I think I will do a 17lb goal by easter...so what ever my weight is next valentines -17 by easter :) I love this feeling its like I am on a weight loss high!!!

Still fighting off those last two lbs until my V-day goal. I am going on vacation Feb 16-24 so with that in mind I'm going to set my Easter goal a little lower then I normally would. I'll set it for 10 lbs...so 215 lbs (that's assuming I hit 225 before V-day).

Another great day of exercising and counting cals under my belt!

Switzie, I know you'll reach your Valentine's goal.

Just had to be accountable. I exercised and ate within my calorie range today.

I'm so excited today. I lost another pound! :dancer:

Switzie, thanks so much for this challenge.

so far I have lost 2lbs this week :)...so that leaves 5 until goal. I am hoping I get another lb tomorrow :)

You're more then welcome. It helps me to have something like this going. A place to held accountable and pushes me to keep going. I know an Easter Goal challenge was brought up in this thread. Do we want to keep going in here or start a new East Goal thread?

Would we like an Easter Challenge? Yes, please.

Layri, congrats on another pound lost! :congrat:
Irishfairy, congrats to you on 2 lbs. lost. :bravo:

Hugs, Dena :cool:

man still 5lbs until v-day goal...I am hoping to at least lose 3 before v-day....that would put me at 187 :P

My easter goal is gonna be 173lbs....:) It might change depending on how much I lose this week

Finally some movement on the scale! Down 1 lb, 1 lb to go until goal!

Congratulations, Switzie! :congrat:

And I'm reporting that I ate within my range and exercised as well.

Hugs, Dena :cool:

YAY down another lb....4 lbs until v-day goal....can it be done?????

Hit my goal today! Feel like throwing a party ;)

irishfairy, even you don't hit your goal you have lost a lot and should be proud! Setting the V-day goal was a way to stay focused and motivated but not to be disappointed if you don't make it.

CONGRATS SWITZ :) :) :) :) :) :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks I know I have done well and I won't be disappointed. I am hoping to at least lose another 2 before then but whatever happens happens :)

I took some progress pictures after I hit my V-day goal. If you are interested they are here:

congrats switz you look awesome!!!!!

still 4 lbs from my v-day goal :( but I did set a high goal of 15 lbs...so 11lbs lost is still good I'd say :)

Happy V-day I am 188 today 3lbs off my goal....so I lost 12lbs since I set that goal :) not to shabby :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm so excited! I lost 6 lbs. since we started this challenge. :cp: This is huge for me because I'm such a slow loser. I give a lot of credit to that treadmill. :)

irishfairy, great weight loss, you should be proud!
Way to go Dena, that was a big loss!
See both of you in the Easter Challenge thread...keep up the good work!

WTG everyone!

I have lost 3 lbs so far and hope a few more will be off by saturday ( my birthday) Congratulations to everyone on their weight loss!!!
