Yay for everyone who lost this week - a hard one with Valentine's Day last week.

I did lose but minimally, which I am surprised. I was sick with norovirus and no way could I eat low/no carb. As a matter of fact, all I could keep down were breads. So... back to low carb today as I am finally better from the virus from Hades.

I m 44% through this journey. I don't have a lot to lose, but for over a year I was unable to lose anything. A screwed up thyroid, and my husband was very sick last year caused me to gain 20 lbs in 2 months from comfort eating. Nothing I did would get it to come off. Now it is coming off and I am so grateful to be able to start to wear my old clothes again.

Hello everyone!

I think losing weight with a group is the best way to be successful ... we all need the support, motivation, encouragement and accountability that a group challenge like this brings! I would definitely like to be a part of this Easter challenge!

I see that there are only 7 weeks left, but I'd like to jump in today, if that's okay.

2/19 - 131.0
2/26 -
3/4 -
3/11 -
3/18 -
3/25 -
4/1 -
4/8 -

My goal is to be 117.0 by Easter. It's pretty aggressive, but I am ready to stop making excuses and take responsibility for my health & happiness. No one can do it for me!

I'll still have to read everyone's posts. Meanwhile, best of luck to everyone!!!

Sorry, somehow my initial post got posted again.

Anyhow, CONGRATULATIONS to all who lost weight and may the rest of us keep doing what our bodies' want!

Ladysheets - I thought I'd ask everyone what there favorite weight loss/fitness quotes were to help inspire your sister, Matty, along with the rest of the group! I love the one that you already gave, which is great starting point, because if we don't feel good, we're not going to do anything ... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels".

I'll throw in: "Eat to live. Don't live to eat."
"Fit is not a destination, it's a way of life."

About four days ago, I made a commitment to drink 2-3 liters (quarts) of water per day. Yup! With our body's being over 70% water (that IS hard to believe), I really want to be consistent and see how all this water will contribute to my weight loss and health. I'll keep you updated!

I just started using the treadmill. I want to be able to actually run ... as in 2-3 miles straight. Anyone else walk or run regularly or want to?

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

I love your ideas rawbliss ! Im not sure how much water i am drinking right now but pretty close to what your doing. I have to make it a priority or i forget.

I have been enjoying walking again. I had spine surgery in october and before that i was getting to the point where it was to painful to walk anymore. Im so happy i had the surgery i can walk as far as i want now pretty much. I live where we have lots of ice in the winter in Alaska so i am being safe and walking on the treadmill and in the pool.

Ive been having a pretty good week so far. No real cravings and staying on my low cal plan. Hoping for another good loss this sunday !

[Buckaustink]

Well actually its 11lbs i a week and half. I have been 110% on induction and will continue until I leave for Vegas. I know it will slow down but I think I found a way of eating that will help me finally lose and keep off this weight. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Gained this week. I was doing great until mid week and then everything seem to fall apart. I am trying to bounce back but I feel a little discouraged. Just when I think I have this weight loss thing down, I spiral out of control.

2/12 -276 (-2.2 lbs.)

I took off a whopping .2 lbs this week. It is better than a gain. I am not surprised since I have been eating a lot of food. Time to cut back!
