5 Pound Challenge # 66
 

Welcome to 5 pound challenge # 66


Everyone is welcome, hop in at any time. We're out to lose 5 pounds. No matter where you're at in your weight loss, it's helpful to break down your loss into small goals like these.

Here's what to do:
Just post your SW (starting weight) as of today, your CW (current weight) which is whenever you weigh in and your GW (goal weight) which is five pounds down from the day you joined in.

Weigh in whenever you like and come tell us about it! You can weigh in as often as you like - some of us do it everyday, some once or twice a week.

The first one to hit five pounds lost should start the next thread! Please start it immediately, if you need help, just ask, someone will be happy to point you in the right direction.

I am pretty sure on my first 5 lbs challenge my start weight was 237 for that challenge ~it's amazing how many lbs ago that has been~These challenges are such a help.
GOODLUCK EVERYONE

You look great, Lori! That newest avatar really shows the loss in your face!

Goodie!!
 

I've come a long way and this is just the little motivation I need! I've been starting to lose all my motivation! I've been eating way too much all over again and slipping back up the scale. I was 150 and I don't want to get back up there! I think if I just get a little cheap bike I could make this happen pretty quickly since there's a bike path near my house! I'm giving it... 2-3 weeks. =)

My weight right now is 120. 115 here I come!!

:hug:

Ps:
 

This is all about being healthy and having support.

I love this website and I just wanted to say that sometimes I feel a little bit put down about weighing less than some of the other fabulously motivated women on here. I'm struggling just as hard as you and trying to make a healthy, long term change for myself in my life. My mother is over 300lbs and I know that a developing healthy lifestyle from early on is important so thank you to everyone for not judging and the strong support.

Id love to join!

Lori - I am still super amazed at your weight loss....over 60 pounds!!! AND out of the 200's! I'm so proud of you...you truely are an inspiration to me. How long did you say you had been losing weight, and how do you stick with it?

Congratulations Strawberry, I knew you would do it!

Thanks Fressca and Jazzy

Thanks!!!:hug: I Am calorie counting as most know~I am on 1400 a day.(although I am on the low side of calories~my doctor gave me the okay with that amount)
And I am up to walking 45 minutes 2 x's a day. My first few months was very different but with each new weight loss I felt better than I would have if I was eating more. So I placed it in my mind that hey if you don't have that then you may be 8 lbs less next month or some type of loss and so on~ and eventually I am pretty well use to the change~I even sometimes get full.
Its a mind game~I quit smoking too over a year ago and I say overeating is the same type of bad habit~both can delivery bad health problems and both are addictions.
I Always say if you goof up ~we all have~ just start back eating right promptly the next day and never give up~If I can do it anyone can~I have always been overweight and no support from the family I grew up with~My husband and 3 children Are awesome ~Which helps.
I think the more people/and yourself see results the better you feel and the better your will power will become so just hang in there and remember NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP! I will be on here to watch you get to your goal and I hope you will do the same for me.:hug:

Oh,I started on November 11th 2008 So it's been nearly 7 months..and some super results.
whew I am blabby today sorry hehehehe:dizzy:

Down a tad today...which was surprising after out anniversary dinner last night at the Melting Pot. I feel like I'm faced with so many food challenges these days. I HAVE to get stronger again and not let food have any control over me! I've been reading and re-reading the emotional eating portion of Tom Venuto's book. I'll be in FL in just under 3 weeks and I would love to get 5 more pounds off by then! Next week is my Bday...another challenge. :halffull:

Losing - Let's do this! We need to get ourselves un-stuck! Now! :high:
