Down a pound. Ever since I got under 200 it's been slow going. I have to fight for every single ounce. It's probably because in the past 10-11 years I've been under 200 once and only then for maybe 6 months. My stupid body isn't taking to very well to being here but I refuse to ever be over 200 again.
Well it has been an incredibly looonnnngggg weekend. Hubby and I have both been sick, so nothing but laying around and watching t.v.. It finally started to snow flurry here a few minutes ago. I've only been waiting all day. Disappointed I haven't been able to exercise this weekend, but happy to report that I have been totally OP as far as my water and food. So for that to happen on a weekend is a major accomplishment. Hope everyone had a great weekend and wishing all a successful week.
Scale has been stuck in the same spot since last Monday! I think my body is starting to get into a pattern of drop lb one week-maintain the 2nd-drop again-maintain again...its going to be a long week! Hopefully I can report a budge in the scale by Friday.
Got a lot of rest over the weekend though. So Ill at least be able to get my exercise for the week off to a good start today.
Plus NSV-went down a band size in my bra! Also got into my summer clothes from last year and all of them are lose. For once in a long time Im looking forward to shopping.
Get to goal & stay there!

Woo hoo, Vicki. That's awesome!!
Lambie, I feel the same way; I zoomed out of the 200s (it seemed), but have to fight tooth and nail for every ounce to lose now. We just have to keep plugging along. You are doing great!
tbrwn, hope you and hubby feel better soon. My youngest daughter woke up this morning with a sore throat and stuffy nose. Thankfully she's off of school today for Predidents Day, so I hope she'll be better enough to go in tomorrow. Kids seem to recoop so quickly.
I know I shouldn't be on here until all my chores and exercise are done (I'll admit...since I didn't have to get up early to take my daughter to school, I've been moving too slowly this morning). But I just wanted to pop in here quickly to say I'm down another 0.6! It's still very slow going, but it IS finally going.
I'm starting the Woman's World Supercharged Atkins this morning and promise not to weigh in until my new weigh in day, Saturday. I just wanted to see where I'd be starting at.
Good luck to everyone this week for a healthy, happy week ahead. I'll try to check back in later.

Just wanted to say hi. I weighed in at my WW mtg this morning. Down .6, which is good in theory, but I'm breastfeeding... Shouldn't the weight be falling off?? I have more baby weight to lose!
My pattern seems to be lose four pounds one week and the maintain the next, repeat. I guess it's not too bad of a pattern, but that week of maintaining is irritating!
Anyway, hope everyone is having a good weekend, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Yeah, that's a lie about dropping lbs with breastfeeding...unless your starving yourself. I breastfed 3 children and it didn't help at all. Only dieting and exercise helped me drop the weight, 60 lbs 1st time, 40 2nd and 50 with the last one. Let's just say I enjoyed eating when I was pregnant!
I started the Firm Express plan 5 days ago and have lost 1/2 lb so far. I like the fast pace of the workouts, but they are not easy. Luckily they're only 20 mins each!
I am afraid to weigh myself. I have caught a cold from somewhere and seem to have no energy. Not even to eat. Nothing sounds good. I had a salad today but mostly just picked at it. I have to miss Zumba tonight because of this cold I caught. I am so bummed right now.
Well howdy, FOLKS! Looks like we have had some new (and some familiar) faces to join... WeLcOmE one and all! Congrats to all who saw their numbers drop this past week! It really is such a good feeling, and for me it keeps me motivated! That being said, I did NOT have a drop on the scale at this mornings weigh-in! In fact, I was up 2lbs. I have to admit, it felt like a slap in the face. Only because I've seen the numbers go down each and every weigh-in so this was a little bit of a surprise for me! BUT, I'm not being too hard on myself and have not lost focus or motivation. I know that people hit plateaus during their weight-loss journeys, and whether this is a plateau for me or my body still holding onto water-weight from TOM last week, I KNOW that I'm doing right by my diet! I suppose that's what is keeping me from being too upset about my date with the scale this a.m.! So, enough about me =) 3 cheers for a damn-near perfect OP week this week, yall! Hip Hip HOORAY! Let's do this!
One week down! This first week of the challenge is also my first week on this website, and my first week of healthy eating/exercise since, well, a long time. For the most part I managed to stay OP, with the exception of a couple more glasses of wine than planned. (My husband and I received a monthly wine delivery package for our wedding last summer, which is great, until you're trying to lose weight. Nothing says "the universe is out to destroy your best laid plans" like having wine delivered to your door on Friday at the end of a busy and stressful week...haha.) Nonetheless, I managed to work out everyday except Sunday, and I dropped 2 pounds.
Great work ladies, let's do this!

Hey! I've been lurking the boards for forever and finally joined. It always looks like these challenges really help everyone keep themselves on track, so I'm so excited to get in on one even if it's a little bit late!
Hi Everyone! As others have said, it's great to see the familiar faces and to keep up with everyone. I'm also motivated by everyone's successes and stories.
My weight stayed the same, despite a pretty good week on plan. Oh well, I'll keep going. I must remember that I feel better, my clothes are looser, and I have an eating plan I can maintain for the long haul.
Start: 185
Current: 185
Goal: 172
Welcome Newbies - Great to have you!
Congratulations to all of you big losers!!!! Way to go!
I also hope that those of you who have been struggling with sickness start feeling better. Spring is on the way!!!!
My weight was up this morning!!!!!
I thought for sure it would be down. Now I know I have not eaten enough calories to have gained real weight, so it's water, bulk, who knows. Just a little discouraged. I'll hang in there, though.
And here I thought I'd be reporting a quick loss of one or two. That crazy demon scale!!!!!!
I think my body is starting to get into a pattern of drop lb one week-maintain the 2nd-drop again-maintain again...its going to be a long week! Hopefully I can report a budge in the scale by Friday. 
For once in a long time Im looking forward to shopping.
I am so happy to see everyone doing so well......we are a great bunch aren't we!
