NorthernExposure I'm so psyched for you, I can't wait to see your post when you hit 100lbs!
Fit4Lyfe I weigh myself over and over too! Not only that, but I move my scale all the way around my bathroom floor! (Because I obviously MUST weigh less that it says, I must have put it on an uneven part of the floor... right?) This happens every morning! lol. I hope you get a HUGE whoosh!!
----
Weighed in at 131.0 this morning. I can't believe that my weekend messed me up so bad! I saw 129.8 on Friday! Instead of letting that make me feel like I could eat whatever, I should have worked to make it stick!
Working extra hard this week to make that second digit a 2. I have a big fluffy salad with a bit of grilled chicken and tomato on it for lunch. Had Chobani greek yogurt for breakfast.
So, the boyfriend and I are close with all of his neighbors around his townhouse. Turns out that they're all having a block party next weekend and grilling out! Awesome, right? No. Not awesome -- because they're doing it around the POOL. The pool opens next weekend! It's already swimsuit season! Ugh! It snuck up on me!
Okay, so day one of the challenge went well. I tracked EVERYTHING I ate and came in right at 1200. I had to eat a fruit pop to make it happen. Of course, making that happen for one day is the easy part.
Here goes day 2!
Dorian, I hear ya! I live in a neighborhood that is literally two blocks from the beach. I pay a little extra than I would have to in other neighborhoods simply for this feature - which means I'm GOING to the beach every weekend it is nice. Which means I MUST be prepared!
I'm in. I have to get over my obsession with the scale though so I am not weighing again until my next doctors appt on 5/13. After that I will weight on 5/29.
Hi Ladies! Missed you all dearly! My life got a little crazy over the past few weeks!!! My fiancee's thumb was broken, but he is healing nicely. Right after that, we ended up buying a house - so I have been in the process of moving all of my stuff, and now trying to fit it into my new house!! But I am here & committed.
My goal for this challenge is to lose 10 pounds, and to make sure I am doing at least 60 minutes of excersice at least 5-6 days a week. This is normal for me, but have got out of the habit over the last few weeks due to the move!
Uggg, the scale and I have been fighting, it's jumped up about 3lbs from my last weigh in, 9 days ago, and I can't figure out why. I did have Chinese Food (as planned) on Thursday night, but was right back on plan on Friday morning, and have stayed on plan ever since. While I may be holding some water from sodium, I can't imagine that I have been retaining water for so long. I don't know, but it's frustrating. I am going to eat very clean for the next few days, and see what happens. Still pretty upsetting since I am staying on plan and all. GRRRR.
I'm in for the challenge ladies. Unfortunately I only lost .2lbs overall for my last challenge. This time I"m starting from the beginning, so I want to lose 10lbs.
cant really talk much now, i'm at work but i will try and check in later.
gOOD MORNING LADIES !! && Hello to the new ppl joining more support is always a good thing..
today has been kinda weird for me,my body feels fatigued & I feel sorta dizzy. might be my iron, I Dunno .. anyway, its true that the more stuff you learn the more you realize that you dont know sh*t !!! I know with my height, weight & activity level, I should be eating around 2500 - 2800 calories a day.. Ive never ate that much.. 2000 at the most & 1200 at the least .... Butt it seems like the more I eat, the more I lose .. I dunno if that makes sense & I dont understand it at all. I messed up so bad last week, I know I went over at least twice... I ate candy, etc .. I know I didnt go CRAZY, but I still messed up & went OP ...... yet I lost & lost inches as well .. the first month of me doing this, I was restricting myself to about 1200-1500 cals a day .. & I was losing like a pound a week ... but the more I eat, I can lose like 2.5 - 3lbs a week .. its weird to me ..t he only thing I can think of is maybe its my metabolism speeding up since it's gotten a boost from all the dieting & cutting back .. Eh I dunnoo I really wish I could have this thing figured out already..
*sigh* anyway ladies, I hope everyone is having a good beginning of the week .. take care, sugarplums..
Hi Calorie Counters, I'm in! My goal for April had been to lose 8lbs, though it looks like I'll only lose 4, maaaaybe 5. Memorial Day Goals:
1. Count. Every single day. (Stop letting baseball games mess you up!)
2. Keep up with and track my walking
3. Lose 8 lbs (this should follow the first two)
Good luck to everyone, lots of great goals-- it's good to know I'm not doing this alone!
Off to record the banana, almonds, and coffee I've had today.

Reason: ha, banana singular not plural
Dorian5 I was at swimsuit season sneaking up on you...because I totally feel the same way, "like it was just winter yesterday, it's already time to break out the summer dresses? d@mn" lol
P H A T You might have something there with eating more...some science says, feeding your body more at intervals makes your metabolism work harder and harder to lose...I find that sometimes having a high calorie days, followed by 2 or 3 subsequently lower cal days causes a "whoosh" effect...IDK, just food for thought
OhMyDogs Sorry Hun, I am officially plateauing and it sucks majorly!!! So I know how you feel, I hate the scale right now
farn00a57,scout83,corazonas,melissakd,Amberelise,d jbutterfly,becky144 and anybody else I missed: and
Magenta for me!!! LOL. Okay, so I am officially plateauing ladies, I have been looking at 238 since April 13th and it majorly sucks. I am just going to stick it out though, because I'm starting my boot camp on May 2nd and that should really give my weight loss the it needs; I have soooo much going on later this year that I really want to break into Onderland by September, maybe August if I'm really good (lol) so I can look my best!!! I'm off to power walk ladies...remember: nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!!! (so says some stick figure model chick, lol)
Awww...thanks Phat! I hope I can make it by memorial day too. I think it's going to be close, but I'm going to give it my best shot!
Tired: wow, 14 lbs in 5 weeks! You must be a fast loser. I'm thinking 5 lbs is a stretch for me, lol. Good for you! Can I ask when you started your weight loss journey?
Farn: Welcome back!
Fit: BOO for TOM! Mine is in my near future as well. On top of the damage control for overeating this past weekend, I must prepare for a rough start to this challenge. But all's well that ends well, right?? I can hope anyway!
Dorian: thanks! Even though I'm not ready for swimsuit season, I'm sure ready for swimsuit weather!!
Newbies: Thanks for joining us...this is a great group of ladies!
As for me: Yesterday was technically part of my long weekend as I had it off, but after going a little too crazy Saturday and Sunday, my plan was to get fully back OP. I did good with calories (around 1450), but didn't get my exercise in. We did take our camper out of storage yesterday though (yay! Finally...can't WAIT to go camping!) so I did get some activity in with that, but probably not enough. No more excuses today! Calories and exercise WILL happen the rest of this week!
