Welcome k3ll3y! glad you could join us!

Hey all, hope your week is going well! I'm away from my scale till Monday due to being in a wedding this weekend, so I entered my weight from this morning as my May 1st measurement. Good luck with the upcoming weigh-in everyone!

Welcome ILR! Have fun at the wedding!

count me in dreamer! I'm also aiming for 250 by labor day so lets do it!

YAY!!! destiny!!! :welcome: so glad you let me pull you in here hehehe :hug:

i'm gonna jump on the "250 by labor day" bandwagon!

i'll be moving to a new area, and starting a new job and i know 250 isn't slim by any stretch of the imagination (unless you're like, 15 feet tall) but it's definitely an improvement over my current weight of 276!

k0nfy :welcome: Were bout the same right now...we can do this right? :cheer: :cheer: I think 250 is a great goal!


How is everyone else doing in the first week of the challenge?

Im grazing a lot today (planning for pizza tonight) drinking my water and feeling good!

i'm keeping the foods light today too. i've had a serving of cashews (i counted out the 43 pieces!), some of the leftover meatballs from my bridal shower last night, and a TON of water. my bladder is yelling at me.

k0nfy so nice to see someone else jump on the bandwagon. No matter how much or how little we can lose it! Way to go with what you've already lost! :-)

thanks! my doctor yelled at me when i went in on march 14th, so i started my diet on march 15th. i'm hoping by june when i go in for my appointment i can be more than 30lbs down because she said "well you could diet and exercise..." like it would be impossible for me! pfft...

my brain is wired in such a way that if you tell me i can't do something, i will prove you wrong just to be contrary.

My doctor didnt yell at me but she had a hint of concern when we talked about dieting. Like she didn't expect much from me. Well--my appt is Tuesday and I think I have lost around 30 lbs since I saw her 3 months ago :) Ive never been so eager to go to the doctor! LOL

haha! that will be me.

the doctor said she wouldn't issue a new prescription for birth control pills if my blood pressure wasn't down (i totally suffer "white coat hypertension" - my typical blood pressure is around 110/70ish) because it was around 130/85 at the time. i also stood on the scale, fully clothed with shoes on, and hit 304lbs.

yeah, i step on the scale fully clothed, shoes on... and MAYBE hit mid 280s now. gimme my bc pills, woman! a married woman shouldn't have to use condoms!

k0nfy and myhal im sorry your doctors treated you that way! I always had supportive docs who just wanted to help me. WTG on both of your losses and you are right k0nfy, you should have to use condoms as a married woman.

Good Morning All,
Sunday morning so I'm checking in.
k0nfy and myhal - I've had a similar experience at my doctors office. I know she just wants her patients to live healthy lives but they could be a little less blunt about it.
I had a good week, still waiting to get my ticker so I'll have to update my profile stats. 2 lbs down 20 to go :)

Great job K3ll3y
