WOW! Between TOM and my holiday splurging I must have been holding onto a lot of water! Before the holidays I was down to 179 and I knew I didn't overeat enough to gain 8lbs but now that it has left...PHEW! I am going to keep my Valentine goal weight at 175lbs, since it is doable. :D

Good luck this week!

Ugh. My meals have not gotten back on track but I did make it to the gym
again. I really didn't feel like going but that only makes me more proud of myself for getting there and getting it done.

I don't think I can do it but 125 would be awesome, will settle for 129 by then, fingers crossed. Gonna challenge myself to hit 125, but be thrilled for anything other than weight gain.

Did ok today.
Hoping tomorrow is another good day.
Need to get back on track..
Kind of got derailed for a bit.

I'm shooting for 3.5 lbs for my Valentine's Day goal. I would be more agressive, but I'm trying a out a few new things (with my eating and exercise) and want to play it conservatively.

I'd like to weigh 373 by Valentine's Day which would be a 7 pound weight loss. Actually, I'd be thrilled with that and over the moon if I lost more!

I am at 262. I would love to be down another 10 lbs. by Valentines Day.

- Drink 64 oz water a day
- Stay OP!!
- Keep eating veggies.

Good luck everyone.

I'd like to join if I could... I've been gone a long time and love these challenges! soooo.... Vday...almost a month away.. I'd say being at 255 would be nice, that's 8lbs...we'll see

okay stratch the 163.50 lol. Although I weighed that at the gym yesterday morning, I didn't eat as many calories leading up to that morning. This morning I was 165.25 lbs so I'm going to go with that (I ate 1450 calories yesterday and only 978 calories the day before the gym assessment).

good evening! not much happening on this thread tonight.... hello out there!

dcapulet...wow, whatchu doin? I want in on it!

angieand2girls-sounds like you got a system, I'm not there yet...doing good! :D

Myself....eh nothing...course it's been a day since I joined.... but eating was naughty :devil: i am making a point to exercise and drink my flavored water though which is better than what I've done to get here in the last year or so. Wish me luck, and any tips appreciated! see yall tomorrow! (oops today)

Hi night - for me, it's about eating very low carb (only a 1/2 serving of actual starch per day) and at least 6 cups of veggies per day, along with some protein. I feel better, want to do more, and am less hungry.

Also, I exercise regularly now (for the first time in my life) - I ran a 5k on Saturday, and am studying to be a yoga teacher.

I started out exactly where you were (at 270) and if I can do it, so can you!

I'm back!
I got on the scale this am and I am 151.6.
So after two weeks of bad eating I am up 5 pounds but better than the 8 pounds I saw previously. Does this mean I gained 8 pounds in a week and lost three the next week, or did I gain 5 the first plus 3 was bloating and the second week I maintained? No idea.

Looking forward to dropping the 5 to get back to 146!

Tontus-nice loss, low carb? :cool:

HappyHoliday- Hey I'm sure you'll be able to regain some ground, it happens...I've been doing it for a year....falling off I mean...you're still here and that's what counts! :carrot:

dcapulet- 5k, wow....have never been able to think running even though I know it's good for you...I feel though like I've seen you before in my previous 3fc life...when I as smaller lol.... been on a while? I'm still working toward better eating, minor improvement. Trying to make a habit out of exercise again. Ahhh Veggies :carrot:

NightAngel - I'm with you. I never thought about running until I got to grad school in 2008. I was at my highest, and ALL of my classmates were fit. One I became really close to was into running, and I ended up doing my first 5k at about 263 lbs. It was so hard to train - but I finished. It was the best feeling.

After that I stopped running until August 2012 -I just didn't have the desire. But then I realized it was a way my daughter and I could bond in a healthly way (she's 8) and we've been on ever since. Last week was my second 5k, and in April my husband, my two kids and I are running our first family 5k. It took a while, but I'm hooked!

This week - TOM is creeping.

Night Angel - I missed this the first time - I've been on and off from 3fc since 2006- about 7 years now! I've struggled with weight for a long time, but I think I might have found somewhat of a balance now. :)

Evening chickies...
 

dcapulet- yes I thought I had seen you before. Your story is inspiring... yes my daughter is 8 also and she could use some fitness according to the doctors so we try to do more. Also, looks like you're getting close on your goal, nice job! :carrot:

omega- getting close! to quot Dori: "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...lol :D


As for me, nothing good I'm afraid. We've had a lot of people lately and I'm compelled to serve noddle type dishes and lots of starch to feed everyone.... and starch is a weakness...I don't think I've made any progress. To another day I suppose...

I hate January.
I did so much better during the nov-dec holidays than I did this month.
The good news is it will soon be February.

This week and next week I'm going to stay away from coffee, breads, and sweets. And need to do better lunch planning so I can spend less money and calories.

I really need to get on it hard to make my goal! It was way easier to lose 2lbs a week when I was heavier..... but I'd rather be lighter!! :carrot:

NightAngel My big loss was just water weight & TOM. I took December off and 187.6 was my starting in Jan. and after a week back on I had that big loss. Not low carb. Just calorie counting!

Good luck ladies! :hug:

Hi Everyone
I may have jinxed myself.
January was the pits.
Good news- feb 1 is right around the corner.


Unfortunately I'll be spending feb trying to lose the wt I gained this month
(Oopsies)
How is everyone else doing?

Eh Check in
 

Good evening!

HappyHoliday- Hey me too! I'm with you, oops on Jan.... I made no progress, I like food too much...maybe though you did change something? A small victory, new habit? Good luck, we still have a couple weeks til V-day, might se some progress right? :dust:

Tontus-Still doing good, you rock! :carrot: Yes, wish I could calorie count but I can't tackle cals, exercise, nutrient stuff and school/work...etc right yet....just one habit to change for now... doing the 21 day thread to try to start a new habit lol! See you around the boards!

I think that I am too far from my goal to manage it by valentines day... I will keep on trying...
I am more than 2% away and I didnt lose anything like 1% last week...

I'm a PCOS lady and sometimes the weight just doesnt want to go...

From Thurs - Sun the scale was holding at 175.8 and I was so excited then wham back up to 178 on Monday..... :( I guess on the bright side, I am still loosing!

Here's to a great week for all of us!! :carrot:

It's great to read people's progress.
The numbers are really going down

For me I lost and gained and am back losing.
I started at 149, dropped 4 pounds somehow week 1, so was 145.
Then I gained to 162, and now I've been 156.4.

So for vday I'm guessing I may be around 153.

I know it's kinda late to join this challenge, but I have a mini goal, to get to 140 by Valentine's day. That would be 2 pounds in a week. Not sure if I can do it, but I will put it as my challenge.

start: 142
mini goal: 140

Welcome, Stars
You can do it!

Ok so it may look bad that I actually gained, but I am SO happy to be seeing the number going down. I need to get back to 149 and also back to 145 which I saw last month. I made it up to 161 last month. With a few days left to valentines day I may even be at 150. That would be awesome.

It is getting so hard to lose weight... I just realized yesterday that I am 2.8lbs away from no longer being obese, just overweight :dizzy:

Wow Tontus94,
Great work losing consistently every week!

awww :(
 

I guess I didn't make this challenge
maybe see you guys next time!

I ended at 151.6, been 151.6 for 4 days now. Hopefully yesterday's sugar doesn't pop up on the scale later this week.
Started at 149.6, and went down and up and down again..
Argh!
Happy Valentine's Day, all, no matter what the numbers are.
