Morning all,

Pleased to report some progress this a.m. Down 3.2 from last week, which is nice to see after the vacation/TOM blip last week!

Matilda and MB - congrats! To what do you account your success? Are you following a particular plan? Or just being super careful about your cals? Exercise plans?

Good luck everyone ....

Hello Everyone Ive Been Op And No Change Hopefully I See A Change Next Week. I Hope You Are All Doing Well.

I was in a couple of other challenges but I honestly have to say that I am so glad to be in this challenge with you ladies. I don't feel bad when Im posting that I gained a little vs other challenges. I feel that with this challenge I can lose slowly and not beat myself up. Im so happy that our group is smaller then the others I feel like we have the right batch of people in this challenge. Keep up the great work ladies. Im down 2 lbs in 2 months lol but I am slowly tweaking and changing things in my diet and its gonna be a long slow journey for me but I think this time is gonna be the charm and with my calories being higher I feel that I am not starving or over eating I feel like Im doing just fine and I can eat at this calorie range for the rest of my life. If I lose 25 lbs this year I will be so happy. You ladies are awesome!

So sorry to be MIA but I have been sick the entire month of Jan.! The docs are running a ton of tests. Anyway, I have been OP and I started swelling up, put on 8lbs. of water weight, feet were so big couldn't even wear my berks!!! I'm finally starting to feel a little better and have lost some of that water, my feet are going down, but my hands, knees and body is still swollen, ugh!!!!

I was really frustrated by it all, I'm behind in my goal and feeling crappy, got a rash on my entire body thats itching and driving me insane. Well anyway, while at the Dr.s office, I run into my kids Doc that we have had for many years but haven't seen for at least 2 yrs and he gives me pearls of wisdom. First he said how great I looked (might I add I looked like crap, red, itchy, swollen, hair not combed etc!) Then he said " you didn't gain weight, you are swollen with water, it will go away when your illness goes away!" Whew!!!! Here I was beating myself up, never putting into account the swelling was caused by fluid, duh! He made me feel sooooo much better, I mean, I was almost ready to throw in the towel! Now I'm so glad that I had stayed on plan, even while sick. I know I'm not behind, I was sick and my body needed a time out, to rest.

I'm soooo glad to see everyone hanging in there and working on being the best you you can be, regardless of how much weight we lose or gain

Everyone have a wonderful week!

i'm going to join in this one - hoping to be 199 by may 1st!
