May I join? I log my weight constantly My goal is to be at 125, and to run a 5k (run, not win lol) in late June/early July!
I'd like to do that too, around the same time frame! (the running, not the 125, lol.) I'm not at all a runner and never have been, but have just started C25K. It's going to take me a lot longer than 9 weeks to get through it, lol. Keep us updated on how your training goes!
It looks like everyone is doing great! I did good this week and lost an even 2 lbs. Im kinda worried that some of that was the water my muscles were retaining as i took the week off working out. I guess I'll see when I return to the gym in the next couple days.
everyone keep up the great work and I'm sure we will all end the challenge happy with the outcome even if not at our individual goals
Pixicat-- You were right!! It was definitely water retention. I lowered my sodium this week and have dropped 3 lbs so far! That's the spirit about your weight loss- just keep going and make sure you don't dip your calories too low, although it may be tempting. I hope you have excellent luck in the coming days!

I also want to run a 5k. I been feeling kinda looserish lately because next week all my friends are running a 5k and invite me to join..i had to pass because at this point in my life I'd struggle to walk a 5k. So I want to silently train on my own and be able to say YES the next time they ask...even if i can't run the whole thing..i want to at least be able to get through it decently. My goal is also to weigh 125 by July 4th too...so far i'm not doing too great heading that way though.
Well, as you can see, my scale is going up and up and up. This weekend really derailed me. Actually, I derailed myself. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we sort of overdid it on the food and wine. So, this morning I fixed myself a bowl of Kashi cereal with soymilk and am currently drinking my water. This afternoon I'm going to the grocery store to stock up on healthy food and I asked my friend who is staying with us to hide her yummy snacks from me. I also have a two week break from work, so I'm going to teach my dog to walk nicely on the leash (any tips?) and we are going to walk every day. I also got a new pilates dvd, so I'm going to use it several times a week. I think the time to get serious about weight loss is right now, or I will end up gaining another 10 lbs.
Anyway, congratulations to all who lost and maintained. You guys are doing so well!

Checking in...I have to figure out how to react better to stress. It's my number one reason for making poor choices. I'm just glad I'm not showing a gain this week.
Getting back on track starting today! I can do this!
I would love to join! My husband and I want to have a baby, and I promised myself that I would get back into good shape before that happened. So this challenge means a lot to me!! So i hope to lose 18-20 lbs by Independence Day!
I'd like to join too!! I used this forum religiously back in the summer and it provided exactly the support I needed. Sadly, since then my numbers crept back up. I weighed in this morning at 173. I'm hoping to be 150 by the 4th of July. Wishing everybody luck!!
OK, ladies, I'm stuck in the 160's . . . I got stuck in the 180's and joined 3FC, now I'm stuck in the 160's . . . I'm up another pound this AM . . . I don't usually fret about these things, but REALLY, I was up a pound about 10 days ago and now again today . . . I am just hoping it's H2O as I went for a hike and had peanuts in my trail mix . . . doing a little extra cardio today, just in case . . . UGH . . . My plan is to be at goal by June 11th, that's 12 weeks and 25 pounds . . . not impossible, but even if I'm really close . . .
OK enough rambling and more cardio . . . <sigh, just frustrated>
