Morning -

I hope you all don't mind me joining in this challenge. My goal is to be at 148 by July 4th. That is a 12 lb loss. I am planning on increasing my protein intake but not doing strictly atkins diet.

Hi Nikki!

Breakfast this morning was a veggie and cheese omlet and 2 strips of bacon.

Lunch is grilled chicken breast, salad and some strawberries.

I have no idea what dinner will be. I have a meeting tonight.

Breakfast- 3 (yes, 3 I was starving) burger patties from BK
Lunch-leftover pot roast
Dinner-salad with grilled chicken strips

Breakdfast for me was a porkchop

Lunch was tuna with lemon juice on a bed of lettuce

Dinner was a spare rub and a meatball

ok bad news is didn't lose any weight this week.
good news is didn't gain any! (and I lost 3 inches the past 2 weeks.
2 eggs for breakfast
hot wings for dinner ( THanks for the great recipe) with low carb ranch
so far that's it and it's 7:30. only 4 glasses of water. which I know is what is screwing me up.
Well off to the fridge so suck down a gallon!
hopw you all had a better weight loss week than me!

Breakfast was 2 eggs scrambled with cheese and 3 strips of bacon

Lunch was a T-Bone steak and salad with ranch and grilled veggies

I have no idea what my husband is fixing for dinner.

Didn't do so hot on the water today.

50 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the elliptical

My goal is to be at 175 by July 4th. Not a huge goal but it will be kind of a challenge. Luckily I am hitting the gym 5-7 times a week and walking a few times a week on top of that....


Good Luck Everyone!!!

kspence - looks like you are well on your way! Keep up that gym time! I WISH I could-but I don't get much time to myself with 3 kids, so I'm stuck with whatever I can do in my own living room for exercise....

Scale hasn't moved in the last few days, which is unusual AND disappointing, but it's probably because of TOM-I guess I should be thankful I'm not gaining water weight because of it.

I'm leaving for Mazatlan, Mexico on June 2-wish me luck, ladies! Mexican food is MY FAVORITE, and I'm gonna be constantly tempted by the beans and rice, not to mention the margaritas! I refuse to undo all the effort of the last 2 months for a few frijoles-I'm going to keep this challenge in my head to ward off the bean demons!

I fell off the wagon

I've got tons of great excuses though LOL

*grabs a hand and jumps back on*

today:

breakfast: hamburger
lunch: steak & salad

Hi everyone, I am maintaining at 150 and sure would like to see the other 5 lbs. drop. Even 149 and I would be ecstatic. I have been to 2 luncheons these last few days for graduating seniors. Stuck to the meat, salad, cheese and deviled eggs. Passed on lots of desserts and lots of great looking dishes. sometimes, it seems we should lose weight just based on the fact that we passed up this no-no food. It doesn't ever work that way for me. I think I am getting too complacent and need to just get a kick in the butt and get in gear. My treadmill is calling me. I had Oats for breakfast, no lunch, and steak with salad and green beans for dinner. I need to increase my water intake for sure, too many diet sodas and am probably retaining some fluid. Good luck to everyone, I Will LOSE THE OTHER 5LB. by JULY 4TH.

OK, I just found this - but I am going to the Philly BBW Bash on July 6 and I want to lose at least 12 pounds by then.

Well I changed the goal weight from 155 to 160. After doing the math, I didn't think it would be a logical goal. I can't bring set myself up for failure.. LOL So, I shaved 5 pounds off. Didn't think that was to bad.

How's everyone else doing??

Hi. I am a newbie and latecomer to this, but I would like to join in the challenge. I would like to lose 20 pounds total by the fourth of July. I will reward myself with a trip to the beach with my hub if I make it. I actually saw this forum 3 pounds ago, so I am counting it (I know, I know - cheating already.)

You can do it MsChris! We all can.. we just have to constantly remind ourselves that we are well worth the work.

I FINALLY went down another size to a 14!!! I tried some on that I already had and.....success! Bought a new pair of shorts and a pair of jeans today! I was starting to get disappointed-I've lost almost 30 lbs and had only gone down one size until now.
