nearly saw a waver for my goal today, i think if i hit it in the next few days im gonna extend my target. only by 2lbs though, i have a friend down next week, so im gonna be sociallising alot with her, and enjoying life....and i think im loosing inches alot more then lbs at the mo. clothes are fitting much looser, even without weight loss.

My Valentine's goal is to be in the 60's. I am 6lbs away!

I lost 1 1/2 lbs this week, which means I lost 4 1/2 lbs. in the month of January! :dancer: Counting cals and exercising every day is really the trick in my weight loss. I couldn't wait to edit my profile. :)

Congrats Den@!
I too love to change my ticker and profile! It makes my day :)

Usurped by Vacation!
 

Ugh. I went of the wagon this weekend. My boyfriend is going out of town for a month so we had a little get away this weekend in a sleepy town. So nice. Especially, the fish and chip dipped in beer batter, the strawberry vanilla cake, the BLT and the hot fudge sundae. I did have the diet pop though And guess what? Tomorrow is my weigh in day. Oooops.

I had such a great start. Last week was my first week and I lost 5lbs. I am going to keep going.

Tell me it is normal to have set backs. I need some support!!!

I love getting reading your stories. Your stories help my story. :)

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.
