273.6 this morning, for a loss of 2 pounds this week.

I'd like to join this challenge if it isn't too late. My one year anniversary is one month after Labor day, so this is a perfect challenge. I'm aiming for approximately 2 pounds per week, so I would like to lose around 30 pounds by Labor day.
Btw, I weighed 190.7 pounds on 5/1/2011 and 189.3 today.

Good Morning Everyone.
Late weight in I know but Mother's Day kept me outside and away from the computer.
Over all had a good week of staying on track. Down 1 lb so keeping in the right direction.
Finally made it below the 200lb mark I'm super inspired to keep it up.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

I would love to join in this group if it is not too late! My goal is to be at 175 by Labor Day!

Im down 1.5 lbs myself(just hope its stayed off since mothers day hehehee) Been soooo busy these last 2 days and now I have a headache..its started since i ate soynuts, wonder if im allergic to soy...but ive had soymilk with no prob before. hmmmm who knows.

Okay I did bootcamp last night and now muscles I didn't know I had hurt...yikes! But it felt good!

Ah, I'm up 1lb today- 197.4. Totally deserved because I ate and drank a lot (we had a belated Easter get-together at my house over the weekend.) I also only exercised once.

Back on track today with eating and workout!! Congrats to those who lost!!!

Lost 2.6 this week!

Two days in and I am feeling great! I hit the gym again this morning, I may go for a light walk this afternoon with DD.

Great job Driven!

Last night, I ATE. I didn't plan dinner and, as a result, spent the evening grazing. ALOT. I sat on the couch and kept getting up for "one more thing" until I consciously thought, "What the ****, just eat what you want". I was so disappointed in myself . . . until this morning.

At first I wasn't going to log what I'd eaten during the binge, but I thought I should really face what I'd done. So, I wrote everything down and was surprised by two things. One, I wound up only 200 calories over my daily goal. That's not great, but not awful and certainly not enough reason to throw my hands up and quit, as I may have in the past. The other revelation was that I'd pretty much stuck to healthy things, without really thinking about it - peanut butter, wheat bread, string cheese. The worst thing I ate were some chocolate covered pretzels and I was even conscious of the number I ate - 6 instead of the whole bag.

So, while I may have lost the battle, I still feel like I'm winning the war. Scale showed a .4 gain, something I'll keep in mind while at the gym today.

Great job, Driven!!!

Rmc- I totally understand how you feel and good for you for not beating yourself up!

I didn't exercise yesterday BUT I kept track of my eating so that's somewhat good, right? LOL I'm hoping I get enough motivation to do my 30 day shred video tonight..... bah.

Thanks amandie. Tracking your food is great, even without the exercise. I keep telling myself that if this is really a lifelong change, I'm not going to be perfect every single day. Learning how to reign myself in after a "bad day" before I do enormous damage or totally give up is almost as important as actually losing the weight.

With Tuesday night's debacle as motivation, I had a great day yesterday and dropped a pound. Onward and upward.

i'm in pre-TOM time, and i want to eat everything i see. it's crazy. it doesn't start until i'm home from work for the night, but then i just wanna stuff my face until bedtime! so far i've managed to make the cravings happy without doing too much damage (as in i'm still showing a steady loss), by snacking on carrots, apples, broccoli and bananas.

2.2 pounds until i am no longer morbidly obese!
