that is so wonderful ! you should be proud! Great motivation for me!

I know
 

it won't always be a lose everyday I kind of got excited last week when I lost almost a lb a day. I know it slows down but I was a little disappointed that I have not lost anything since Friday. I won't give up I know it will start again...Good Luck to all:dizzy:

don't think i'm gonna hit my goal ladies... :(

i started off strong with 3.1 lb gone each of the first two weeks. then i gained 2.4, and this week only lost .2.

i'm not over eating, i'm keeping my calories in the range MFP has me to lose 1.5 per week, but i'm starting to wonder if i need to up that or something. i'm exercising like nuts, and eat more on the days i work out. though i'm thinking the strength training might be the culprit.

anyway, i might have to adjust my goal from 20lb to 15lb and see if i can make that.

Don't know what's going on
 

Since Saturday I have lost and gained the same lb. I am wearing a 14w/16w today instead of 18w/20w but I feel like I am stalled...I am going to relook at what Ihave been eating and see if anything needs to be changed. I am still kepping my goal of 20lbs by Vegas ie Easter

I worked out Mon-Fri this week and it paid off. So happy to be back on track. Hope everyone did well!

Have a great week everyone.

Thanks Ladyheets! At least you didn't gain!!!!!:carrot:

That is right !!! cheers !

Ladysheets - Yay for one pound! I am praying to have not gained too much. I weigh in tomorrow and it is not going to be pretty :)

I gained 1.2 lbs. It isn't nearly as bad as I thought - hooray for that! Got to celebrate something!

It is so dang HARD to do this. So hard.

I know exactly how you feel ! cant be so frustrating at times:(
But we have to keep trying !

Have a great day , Brenda

This shouldn't be so frustrating but it is. Honestly, I hate my thyroid. In the beginning of this challenge I am whizzing along losing weight, and then I go into one of the hypo phases and bam! weight loss slows. Frustration!

I guess I need to be like Dori in "Finding Nemo" and just keep swimming, keep swimming....

Only down 1.2 this week. I had a run in with pizza & TOM started.

1.2 is terrific! What I wouldn't give for 1.2! Congrats to you!

Good job !

only down .7 this week.

loss has definitely slowed since i started strength training!

any loss is a good loss in my book!

Weighing in today since i wont be able to tomorrow. Im very happy to say i lost 2.5 pounds this week! so far since we started the challenge i have lost 9.5 pounds slow goin but it is goin !!!

This challenge has helped me stay motivated and on track ~~

I really don't understand why I only lost one pound this week. No cheat days. I even added a day to my workout. Mon- Sat. this week. I am not happy with one pound but I won't give up! 11lbs. down so far for this challenge. Great job to everyone! A Loss is definitely better than a gain! Slow and steady wins the race! :carrot:

tontus94 GREAT JOB WOW what a accomplishment ! you should do something nice for yourself like get your nails done or new haircut something fun you would like for yourself.

Keep up the great work. are you on a special program or doing your own thing? its working for you whatever it is.

I almost made goal. Well, the Easter goal. -2.6 lbs this week. I am back on Atkins full force. So this week's loss was probably a lot of water. I am losing some inches, but I do think this was mostly water. We'll see next week.

Congrats Tontus and MzMoMo - we'll get there, we will. All I know is that this time this WILL be permanent. I am done yo yo-ing and going through this.

Ladysheets ~ I am just counting calories and exercising. I eat around 1600 calories a day(somedays less) and I am Sweatin' to the oldies 6x a week.

Thanks Everyone!

Well, 12.6lbs. down since the start of this challenge. Slow, but progress....still tying to reach my goal of 250. I need a miracle! :D

Ladysheets - sorry about your friend. Stress is the worst for making us eat, isn't it?

Tontus - almost there! what is .6 lbs anyway? :)

After a big loss last week, I didn't expect anything this week and I was right; I gained .6. I also started my period today so that also explains no loss.

I almost made goal. Well, the Easter goal. -2.6 lbs this week. I am back on Atkins full force. So this week's loss was probably a lot of water. I am losing some inches, but I do think this was mostly water. We'll see next week.

I have made my goal. I set a new one of 146 by Easter week. And to reach goal weight by June 1. It is SO SLOW. But at least because it is hard, I am hoping it will be a deterrent to gaining it back this time. I have lost 11.4 pounds since 1/29 about 1.2 lbs per week.

Down 1.2lbs. It is almost the end of our challenge! 2 more weigh ins. Not looking like I'll be making my goal, I still need to loose 8.4lbs to have a 25lb loss since the beginning of the challenge. Oh, well I am proud of my accomplishments and will keep on truckin'!!

Hey everybody,
ive been so busy with the loss of my good friend Marie i havent been able to get on and chat for awhile. ive been really sad too.

I lost 3 pounds this week. i was shocked really. Stess makes me eat but i guess i was pretty good at choosing the right things. :)

I didnt reach my goal but i am so happy i did as good as i did. Everyone here has done so good i think. Im glad we have stuck together and did this together.

I think we should start another challenge and keep on going. anyone up for that??????

Ive got more to lose so i have to keep going,more fun when you have buddies.

take care girls , love ya all. hope you lose good this week ! ladysheets

Ladysheets ~ here is a :hug: for you. I am sorry you are having to go through the loss of your friend. But kudos to you for having a weigh tloss! That could have gone the opposite way so easily.

I had a 3lb loss this week. I have started a new pattern.... a 1.xlb loss one week and than a 3lb loss the next week. It works for me ;)
