Hi Everyone..
I've been MIA and eating like crazy.....I've been out of control, so now I'm trying to "regroup"...I'm actually now up to 228 as of yesterday, so I'm not doing too well on this challenge.
I'm taking baby steps right now and just started a blog to help me get through this.
Keep up the great work Ladies!!!!

WAY TO GO LAYRI!!!! at least if you had to get on the scale it was good results lol. I could never go without weighing I weigh myself every morning :)

Layri: "...it happened so fast..." I had to laugh, as I had a mental vision of someone speed-undressing like some superhero! At least the news was good.

didi: Been there, done that -- haven't we all? The important thing is you're back, and we're here for you! :hug: I found starting a blog helped me. By blogging about what's happening and how I'm feeling, I have actually figured out a few things. I hope it helps you, and I'm sending you :dust: Hang in there.

Irish: By hanging around here, I have figured out that you really are having a Canadian Idol audition...I have never watched the show, but I promise I will if you make it! If you don't, I will, of course, in good Canuck solidarity never ever watch it. Best of luck to you...<fingers crossed>

thanks Daffy....:-)
I'll have to check out your blog

i'm in too. my goal is 10lbs by mothers day. that would get me to 156. my first mini goal too.

So, a few posts back I mentioned that I'd had some very off-program days late last week, but had neither gained nor lost on weigh-in day. This morning, I had a hint from my body that there may be news on the scales and sure enough, I had a two-pound loss. :?: :broc:

I have followed my eating plan very strictly since Monday, 1200 - 1300 calories per day, and just haven't had the time or energy for my hour-long treadmill workouts. I did get outside for a brisk 20-minute walk with the dog a couple times. I had never tried zig-zagging before. Clearly, it works.

So yay and yay! Yesterday was day 100 of eating healthy and counting calories, so of course I weighed in- I've reached 51 pounds lost, and 8 down for the challenge. I'm a happy girl!

Well, after pigging out and going up to 228, I got on the scale today and it was 226. I must confess, I'm not eating right yet, but I'm going to take baby steps. I would LOVE to at least make the 10 lb (well, now it's more like 14 lbs), but I will take what I get as long as it's moving downward. I still have some things to face about being food obsessed, but I'm hoping to work on it.
The support here is unbelievable and I want to say that I, for one, appreciate all of the help, insight, and motivating words from all of you!!!

Fatbaby!!!!
Congrats to you!!! That's amazing!!!!!!

Another 2 lbs gone, 3 lbs away from my weight before I went of track last month.
Keep up the good work everyone!

:cheer: for fatbaby, switzie and didi! Way to go ladies!

Down to 172.5 .... lots more to go and I'm going to Disney World so this could go either way! Lots of walking will help and I actually tend to eat less on vacation (probably not less than dieting though). Oh wish me luck! I have not not seriously exercised in well over a week and feel like a blob so the walking will help.

I saw this thread and scrolled through it confused LOL I had joined a Mother's day challange or so I thought LOL!!!

then figured out I had joined one on the 100lb board LOL so I thought I would post here as well!

I had originally set my goal for 8lbs but as you see by my signature I'm almost there........we will see what my Monday WI gives me and then I will readjust my goal to a higher amount I think!

How do people eat 1200-1500 calories at similar weights that I am at? I know when I first started I was eating way less calories......and I didn't see much loss......when I uped my calories to where I needed them based on my height and weight I have seen a loss each week! I just don't get it......also, when I exercise I have to be within my 1800-2100 range or I can't function!!! LOL

Daffy: sorry I think I tried to answer you one time and my son turned off the comp and I forgot I didn't answer you :( yes I am having an audition tomorrow :) thanks for the support I am super excited. If anyone wants to listen to my badly recorded songs lol they are posted under the monthly chat :)
lost 2lbs this week :)

congrats all all the people moving closer to there mothers day goals!!!!!!
