Hey Everyone, I would so like to join your Easter Challenge PLEASE???? Ok So I FINALLY got under 200 pounds! What a glorious feeling that was yesterday morning as I haven't been under 200 since getting pregnant with my daughter 2 years ago. So now I sit @ 198.4! My goal for Easter is to be as close to 180 as possible. I know big Goal for an 8 week challenge but I can do it. So 18.4 pounds in 8 weeks. I've just broke my week long plateau so I should be good for a couple of weeks before I hit another I hope so we'll see how things go. I'v ealready lost 18.6 since Jan 14th with strict calorie counting walking my A$$ off ( except it's still there) and weight training so I hope we can keep this up. Thanks Everyone I'm so excited.
Oh yeah by the way. Easter is also my husbands birthday!

Anyway I hope to loose 16 pounds in the next 8 weeks which is 2 pounds a week. so hopefully its feasible. im 145 today so it would be great to end up 129 on Easter. I mean really really GREAT! I hope to post everyday. Good Luck to everyone!

My goals are to lose atleast 10 lbs. I'd love to lose 15-20 but I will be happy with 10 Plus that would get me under 200 woohoo!

And also to stay on plan! Keep up with the exercising and continue to count my calories everyday!

Hi everyone. I'm in again. I only lost 6 pounds last challenge. I'm kinda wavering back and forth the last few weeks so I'm hoping to finish the Valentine's Challenge for Easter, ha, ha. So I'm aiming for about 8 pounds.

[Jermsgirl]

I didn't get to post much in the Valentine's challenge, but I'll try here! I want to get to 199 (so that's 8 pounds). I would also like to start jogging with my dog 3-4 times a week along with consistent cardio on the eliptical. Maybe more weights, too? We'll see. I REALLY need to be consistent with writing down all the food I eat, I've been slacking the last couple of weeks. That's it! :0)

Totally gross story - if you happen to be weak stomached - pass this one by.

Our chihuahua is in love with our other two dogs, and like most small dogs doesn't recognize that he's small. He thinks he can play with the big dogs.

We keep them separated, but they inevitably play together at times under our supervision, it's good for dogs to be a pack - as any dog owner knows.

Last summer we let them romp around together one evening while we were scoping out the little racy car we brought home for a weekend test drive. We were sitting out front, admiring and discussing the car, whether we should buy it when we hear howls and screams from the chihuahua. He had jumped or sneaked under the baby gate we used at the time to separate them.

My husband ran to check on him - his eye was resting on his cheek. Blood was on the pit's back claw. We know what happened, without a doubt. The chihuahua likes to sniff the pit's booty - she gets annoyed and kicks him back away gently. Her nails needed clipping and - well - you get the picture.

Blood was everywhere, I'm not kidding - it looked like a murder scene. The chihuahua was unconscious, my husband drove crying to the 24 hour animal hospital 30 miles away. The pup is seriously beloved by my son, they are best friends - my son was too young at the time to comprehend anything like death happening to his brother. Yeah, my guy calls his puppy his little brother.

We felt absolutely terrible. The chihuahua should have NEVER been left alone with the bigger dogs unattended (he should have been with us - but we were excited over the car), and the pit should have had her nails clipped. Bad ownership all around.

Anyhow, $1800.00 later, the vet saved him and my son's little brother lives. As a one eyed pirate dog. I made him a miniature pirate patch complete with crossbones for public appearances/walks.

Workout is done. Had planned to do some lifting tonight, then a long run, but had unexpected company just as I was doing my warm-up. By the time my visitors left, I didn't have time to do both, so went for the long run. Got in 80 minutes before starvation got the best of me. Ate some pineapple, and now I'm going to bed.

JG, welcome back! FB and Isabella, . You feeling any better, FB?

Hello all!

[chubbyphotographer]

I would like to lose another 10 pounds.

[Chinagirl]

Hello! I am brand new here on the site and would love to join you guys in the Easter challenge (also happens to be my birthday, so two mile stones really!)

My goal is to lose 15 pounds. I lost ten pounds last month so I am hoping that I can keep it up!

I've been reading through your posts and just want to say CONGRATULATIONS! to everyone who has been losing weight, you are really inspirational!

[Chinagirl]

Ooh also, how do I get one of those flashy lost poundometers at the bottom of my posts?

[retiredone]

Hi Chinagirl. You'll be able to get your ticker after you've been here about 20 days and at least 20 posts. You have to go into your User CP and you'll see a menu item that says "edit signature". When you see that you know you can get a ticker. Click on the "edit signature" and follow the directions. But you can't do that until the 20/20 rule. Just keep posting and coming back every day.
