Easter Dress Challenge
 

On this one I think we can all pick our own "Easter Dress" finish date.

My Easter Dress WI date will be: April 14th
My WI weight will be: 149 (that'll be a goal of 4 pounds lost)

Okay the 14th it is. I will loose 5lbs by that date. It will be a third of my wanted weight loss. I've never commited to an actual target before. Never in such a public place. I feel quite nervous. But, it maybe the kick in the caboose that I need to get it done.

I think I will make my WI date the 15th of April. I want to lose 8 lbs by then. Surely I can do that; can't I?

:goodluck: to us all.

April 16th
goal weigh: 164 :carrot: :carrot:

todays plan: taco salad for lunch and ribs for supper, I'm eating out this evening :)

Ok sure why not. You wont catch me dead in a dress but I will do it. OK I am making my goal April 16th and I am gonna lose atleast 10lbs.

I'm aiming for the 14th and I want to weigh 232. That's 10 and a half pounds from today's weight. I already have the dress, but it will fit better with a few pounds off.

O.K I'm in, my WI date will be the 16th, my goal is 10lbs.

Good Day All, I am in on this. New here as well. I am looking forward to just wearing a dress that is on my closet that I may not have been in for awhile- Kind of like a whole new wardrobe in that very back of my closet that I have not been able to fit into for awhile. As far as the challange I am going for a firm 6. May not seem like much but have a week vacation coming that will be in challange in it self. I am down 29 lbs since Jan 1. With that said if I can take a trip and still be down 6 I will be thrilled.

I think we have an egg salad theme going here. :D

I think its springy feeling in the air :lol:

I have 3 inches of snow on the ground and its still snowing....really bizzare for march 21st...but maybe this is IT for the season...come on spring, come on spring, come on spring......pleeeeeease!

But maybe its the Easter Dress challenge which makes us all think of easter eggs. ;)

Black ice all over the road this morning... walked my dog tonight in just a sweatshirt-go figure! :)

B-scrambled eggs w/cheese, 1/2 slice buckwheat bread
S-ThinkThin bar
L-El Pollo Loco breast & wing, side of pinto beans and veggies
S-Spelt pretzels
D-Spicy chicken fingers and cauliflower "tater tots"

Water: about 64 oz.

Pretty good day! :)

so I REALLY need an award for myself. Is anyone else like me, you need to have something at the end?? I already bought my Easter dress so it needs to be something else....

anyone else have a material award at the end of your rainbow??

I'm getting a new pair of tennis shoes...I know that is really weird, but I kinda have a tennis shoe obsession and I know there are some really cute ones out for Spring....so weird as it is...it WILL be my reward come Easter weekend. :D Of course, there will probably be new Spring sandals too... :D

Mine can't be too expensive...but I will reward myself somehow.

Well, my ultimate reward will be zipping up that last inch on my wedding dress.... (in November, lots of time!) But maybe I will go for the ultra-cute sandals I saw at the Loft this week... :)

day 3 here...finally getting into the swing of things.

Breaky~ protein/fibre shake
Lunch~ cheeseburger soup
Supper~ bbq'd salmon (fresh, wild salmon) :T (it was delicious!!) lots of broccoli :D

Snack~ none

Well I think I had a cholesterol sandwich for breakfast. It was a 3 egg omelet, with cheese, bacon, ham, sausage, sour cream, tomatoes, and salsa in it. If it doesn't give me a heart attack, maybe it will help me drop some pounds by keeping me full all day? Hoping anyway. I didn't eat it all, but I think I over did the fat of it. Atkins says you lose more with more fat, but I have to wonder about that since fat has so many more calories than regular protein.

Anyway I have to go to work early today I'm hoping such a big breakfast will tide me over through 6 hours of work without food. (I normally work 4).

It is amazing to me how being "honest" makes me feel so much more like I can do this thing. I didn't want to change my ticker, because it was at the lowest weight I've hit since doing this and I kept thinking it would be back in a day or two. But looking at that number and knowing it didn't reflect the truth, that I still had to lose to get BACK to that number was discouraging me. So after changing it yesterday I feel more like I'm working on goals I can reach. I'm setting a new goal for Friday, I want to be one pound less than my lowest so far this attempt. 240. Was down to 245 today, so that is 5 pounds in two days. Yeah that is probably a lot, but since I'm back on induction and since on Sunday morning I was at 242, I figure it is only 2 pounds plus a lot of water. Might make it.

Digestion and metabolism all freaked out after adding probiotics and fiber supplements.. I'm up again. I wigged out when I got a big 191 this morning. I'm hoping it's absorbtion from the fiber.. but i feel yucky. My wonderful 12s I bought in November hardly zip. I feel stretched at the seams! Decided to go back to strict Level 1 Somersizing (food combining). Garrr....

B: Oatmeal w/ff milk, 1/2 slice buckwheat bread
L:Leftover Spicy chicken and "tater" tots
S: ThinkThin bar
D: Leftover Roasted Veggie Soup, and a handful of raw almonds

Changing my #'s to reflect current issues.

Hope all is well for everyone - keep it up!

With 3 days of induction behind me, the scale stopped going up and went DOWN! I am now down 1 from the start (3 from yesterday). I am going to see what the scale says on Sunday and re-evaluate my goal. I was hoping to lose 5 week one, 3 week 2, then 2 weeks 3 and 4 for a total of 12.

If I lose less than 5 this week, I will adjust my goal accordingly, but I am still hoping for 2 lbs in weeks 2-4.

Have a great day!

B: Egg salad
L: ?
D: Steak, salad

Hey Lacey....what about a pedicure or manicure???? Or maybe a massage???

*LOL* Jackie, this is my problem. I treat myself ALL THE TIME!! Today for instance, I bought a pair of jeans, some capris, and 3 new shirts!! One of my friends and I just had a pedicure a week ago and my SIL gave me a Gift certificate for another one when it's time to refresh!!

I do love the new clothes/shoes hog but I'm spoiling myself much too often and am wanting bigger and bigger things. teehee

today!
b: ran out of time

Lacey

New hair color? makeup??? a new piece of furniture???

I know what you mean about buying new stuff all the time. If I want some new clothes...I BUY THEM....:lol: BAD shopping habit...which is better than a shopping AND carb habit!!!!

I agree! I'd much rather have a big closet full of awesome clothes than fat on myself!!

There IS a 50% off sale coming up at a furniture store I like!! oh my! I never even considered furniture as a reward LOL :o
