I loked at some nighties and misc in a plus size catalog the other day, and it was all raunchy. I wonder why all plus size stuff is either grandma-ish (and not grandma in a hip way, but GREAT grandma-ish) or it was so hootchie-cootchie porno star. Why isn't there anything Victoria's secretish in something bigger than a 14? I guess more reason to loose the weight.

However, I had a bad bad day eatting today. I won't be waiting for tomorrow to restart, I am making an incredibly LIGHT dinner tonight to try and salvage the day a little it.

I did .. ok on my calories today. My day was set-up to be sabotoged to begin with. I went to an orientation that I thought was only 2 hrs. max... just in time for my mid-morning snack. It went for 4 hrs. or so... all I had for brkfst. was a slim-fast. Replacement meal my big round behind. I bought a granola bar on break and hoped for the best. By 2:30 though, I lost it. I still stayed under 2000 for the day, thank god, mostly due to the massive amounts of ice-water and the thought of losing the progress I've made. I have little-no motivation to work out today. I feel like I look better than I have in YEARS (finally a size 14, which I haven't been in over 8 years), but for some reason, I haven't been able to really enjoy it, and I don't know why. Anyone else ever feel that way?

I posted this on another thread, but realized that they are a calorie counting group and I don't really count calories. I'm kind of doing WW. So, I thought maybe I could post here as well.


Hi Ladies!! Can I join your challenge? I'm a SAHM with 4 children, my oldest is 5 and my youngest is 2.5 months old. I just rejoined WW online but I"m definitely up for any challenge. My goal is to make it the 170s by Valentine's Day. That's about an 11 lb loss. But, I would love to lose 15 by then. So, I'll make my goal 175lbs by Valentine's Day. My "official" WI is on Sundays.

Count me in! :) I'm a newbie on this board and this is exactly what I was looking for!

I'll give you guys a little intro when I'm not so tired!!!!!!!! :)

I would love to fit into my beautiful weddiing ring again by valentines day! That is my goal along with eating healthy, exercise everyday, and going down a few sizes in the pants, drinking plenty of water and getting vitamin D and calcium for my bones.

I had a super day but wish the scale would go down a bit. Come on scale give me at least 1 lb :dizzy: I went hiking today and we kept on going I was so surprised to find out we went 20 km. My legs are sore tonight so I'm getting in the bath afterwards.

Calejo, I feel the same way about enjoying my weight loss. In one way I'm happy that I wear a size 14 now which is great because I can go into regular stores and the clothes fit. I think part of my not enjoying it more is because I have 21 lbs that I want to lose yet. Your end goal is lower than mine so maybe you feel the same way. I think we will be more excited when we reach our goal.

Flower, about 5 years ago I went to a lingerie party and I was over 200 lbs then and they had some lovely nighties for every size. Sexy but not vulgar and in pretty colors. I can't remember line of lingerie it was and I haven't heard of the company since. If you have any stores around you phone them and ask what sizes they have.

loveandlaughalways, being able to wear your wedding rings is a super goal. I cried when I had to have mine cut off. I didn't have them made larger at the time and waited until I lost most of my weight to have them fixed.

Welcome to everyone.

I often hear that people don't at first fully enjoy the new progress. It has been sooo long since I seen any, wouldn't know that feeling. lol

I wore a size 20 pant the other day. Not getting on the scale til tomorrow though. My satin undies don't cut off circulation anymore so something is working.

I want to join the challenge. I have started diets, fallen off the wagon of so many diets. I don't want Valentine's Day to arrive and I am still at the starting block.

My goal is to stick to my diet. Really stick to my diet and stop the repeat of starting and stopping. Weigh myself weekly, drink 8 cups of water, and stop gaining weight. Most importantly stop making excuses for my failure.

If I can accomplish those things than I can lose at least 15 pounds by Valentine's Day.

I am with you on the stop/go thing. I have got to stay in control! It is so much easier in spring too. But I want to be 1/2 way to goal by springtime.

I want to join would like to at least 15lbs by V day. I am new to this and am unsure how to keep in touch with everyone in these challenges.....Help

I have lost my first 2 lbs for the Valentine Challenge. :carrot: I have been doing lots of exercise and mostly making good food choices.

littlebumblebee, if we can make through this time of year we can make it through anything.

How is everyone doing today? I am down 2.5 pounds this week! woo hoo!

I'm up one pound, ladies. I'm sad, but I deserve it with the way that I have been eating! Welcome everyone!

Count me in. It would be great to lose 13lb and reach my short term goal weight by V-Day.

Way to go flower :carrot:

LittleElectron, up 1 lb isn't much. Try and stay strong. Today was not a good eating day for me, it is hard. I'm going to try and make tomorrow a better day.
