Oops, I forgot to post last week! I hope that everyone is doing well. My weight loss is starting to slow down and it is getting harder to stay positive, but I think I feel that way because summer is right around the corner and I am not closer to my goal. I have 10 lbs. to go until I am officially half way there, which should happen by the end of June. I am hoping that gives me the boost I am hoping for! I would love to have a month where I lose 10-12 lbs. like some of the other ladies around here!!

BCL Thank you!! How have you been doing?

I had a horrible day on Saturday so now I am doing damage control. I hope to end up with a small loss at the end of this week.

You are welcome
 

You are welcome and hang in there. I have some damage control to do myself this week. I have been so frustrated with my weight plateau that I gave in to a binge.:( So now its back to being very strict and hope for the best.

Hello There
 

Hello Everyone
Great to see most of us still hanging in there. I am on vacation and I must admit that I have been eating more than usual. I will however get back on track when I get home. I need this time to regroup and just get some rest.
Life is good and I am having fun. I hope everyone is doing great and I will check in soon.

Izzy

BCL I hope that you are enjoying your vacation!! Enjoy and don't worry about eating more than usual, everyone needs a break and you have been working hard!

Welcome Tristal!! This website has been very helpful to me and I only wish I would have found it sooner, maybe that would have kept me from reaching 256 lbs. I read every success and mini success story and looked at all the pictures; it was very inspirational and kept me going. Good luck!!

Welcome
 

Welcome Tristal!!
Great to have you join in. We are here to support you and help if we can. Just reach out.

Tristal your plan sounds great! I sound like a broken record, but I REALLY need to start lifting or walking or SOMETHING!!

Hello Everyone
I am back from vacation and have a nice tan plus I gained 4 pounds. The good news is that I have lost 2 of the 4 as of this morning. I am back on plan and have a new refresh motivation to keep losing. Its great to see new members and that everyone is doing well. Tristal your plan is great and I am sure you will do well. Kay & Jessie Wow! you both are staying focused and are always encouraging others. We are all in this journey together and I hope we all will reach our goals. Just keep it real and lose slowly and it those pounds will stay off. We know what works and what doesn't so keep finding new ways to lose those pounds and Never give up. We can do this! A new week starts tomorrow and a second chance to get it right, DON'T waste it.

BCL I am glad that you enjoyed your vacation!! It is awesome that you have already shed 2 of the 4 lbs. that you gained!!

When does this challenge wrap up? Will there be another one after?

Tristal I hope that you are feeling better! I bet you will have a huge whoosh this week. With your TOM and the inflammation from your flare up, you are probably retaining a ton of water.

I hope that everyone is doing well!!

I didn't end up making goal, but I lost 19.2 lbs throughout this challenge and am pretty happy about it. If I am honest, I would have made my goal, but I had plenty days where I ate at or over my maintenance range. I was able to stick to it and not give up and that is the important thing!

I am going to keep posting but make a new goal for the next 90 days.

Way to go lady's, I to am at that 196 and I am having a trouble ending my diet plateau and getting the scale moving. I retain a lot of fluid and it makes me so mad. I drink 104 oz. of water a day, so I don't understand the fluid problem.
I can weigh first thing when I get up and weigh 194-196 and by 9am, I am weighing 200(and that's undressed.)
Ok this week end is July 4th weekend and that means lots of great outings with wonderful food. Let us all have fun and try and keep it healthy.

BCL216

I had a really good week on plan. I am hoping that July will be a good month.

BCL That is really frustrating that you have been stuck in a plateau. 104.2 oz. a water is great, and you are right, you shouldn't be retaining as you are drinking plenty. I weigh myself in the morning after I use the bathroom, while naked. Then I weigh myself right before bed after I use the bathroom, again naked; I see about a 3.5 lb fluctuation and then I can gauge what I will be the next day based on my night weigh in. I have never tried seeing what I am mid morning. Maybe you could just weigh in 1 time per day at a consistent time?

I hear you on the 4th of July temptations. Luckily, we are having a party to celebrate the weekend of the 8th, so this weekend should be okay for me. We are taking the kids to a county fair, so I will need to make sure to bring snacks and eat before so that I don't end up eating the horrible carnival food!

How many calories per day are you consuming? Are you using a food scale to weigh out your portions? Are you getting enough vegetables and protein? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you taking measurements? There is nothing more frustrating than to be stuck, but I think that if you stay patient it will come off.

Hello Everyone
Sorry I have been MIA, but I have had a very busy summer and Fall;)

I Lost weight good from Feb. to July and then I had surgery. Well it has been a roller coaster sense then. I had my physical today and have gained 10 lbs.:o
Not happy about that. Well I thought why not start a Holiday challenge. What better time to be inspired. So if there is anyone who would like to be a few pounds lighter by Christmas, Please join in.

Post Name, weight and weekly goal and Christmas goal. Weigh in every Monday
and lets see what happens. Good luck!
