I'm hoping to be 158 by next Monday - my monthly goal is 10 pounds, that would put me at 157 by next Wednesday and that will be 29 lbs in 3 months! I have not really deviated from the plan (with the exception of drinks on the weekends!), nor have I had cravings - I am amazed at how the program has worked for me and very happy with the investment at this point! At this rate I will be thin for summer!!!

Ugh! I can't stay out of the freaking 170's. How frustrating. I am now at 170.4 still have lost 4 lbs since we started the challenge. But I have 11 left in a month. I really need to buckle down. The center keeps telling me to get some activity in and try doing TO again. I just really don't feel like doing any of those things. I am following the plan I just dont' want to chnage what I am doing at all. I wish I would could kick my self in the butt!

so i weighed myself this morning, and 172!!
i haven't weighed this since i was 18!

Ok I back down to 168.6 finally! It's sooo weird when I WI on Tuesday and Thursday I am always up from the Saturday WI. It's sooo weird. Anyway. I need to drink a bunch of water today I had a bit of sodium yesterday. Brocolli and chicken with a garlic sauce I am not sure the ingredients we went out to eat. They I asked for low sodium sauces and they said they could do no MSG so I said ok thats fine. Hope that was better then normal? Hopefully I am not way up on Tuesday! Ugh! 10 lbs to go!

Hey!

Cecelia - If I ate anything off-plan, or just too much, on the weekend it always shows up on my Tuesday WI. So, now I don't freak out about it, just drink lots of water and eat right and it's usually back to normal in a day or two.

Great loss, Rakuette!

I am down this morning too...176...woohoo! I might actually meet a challenge goal...I've never done that.

Yesterday I was at 158, but that darn pound came back in my sleep! I am on TO today and tomorrow, so I am still hoping to hit my goal... although I am prepared for an off week because I totally splurged on sugar free margaritas saturday nite and I think I ate a taco!!! Darnit! Oh, well... life goes on.

Paula that is a great way to look at it. But it is sooo hard not to take it to heart. UGH! Thanks for the support! You are doing great on this challenge!

I am new here,but would like five off by memorial day
Roma :carrot:

jewljz-

Please tell me where you find a sugar free margarita!!!

I go to doc to weigh in on May 7th...home scale is showing me pretty darm close to goal!! We'll have to see how far off it is from doc's scale. But I am getting close...I might have to up my goal a little bit!!! :carrot::dancer:

Kate,

I found it at a liquor store, I asked if they had sugar free margarita mix and the girl said "no, we only have Carb Conscious"... which is sugar free :) Silly girl...

Hope you find it, enjoy!

I am new too and the weather is getting nicer so I can get out and start walking more. My goal is 10 pounds by Memorial Day.

So I have decided to join with 26 days left for the challenge. I hope to lose 9lbs by then (so I will be exactly 150lbs). This will definitely motivate me to get some walking in too.

Welcome to all those just joining this challenge. We all need all the support we can get.

JulieZ - I am so going to look for those mixers.

Paula,
Wish I could remember how good they were... I think I messed up on the mixing part and totally missed out on the evening! Everyone is talking about what a great time I had, must've been some great evening!!! I also missed out on the guilty pleasure of eating a chicken fajita taco with guacamole, can't remember a bit of it! I haven't eaten one since I started on LAWL!!! Next time I cheat I will be sure to be sober!

You Can Count Me In!
 

Hello Everyone - You can count me in for the Memorial Day Challenge. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning, post my weight, my Memorial Day goal, change my ticker and signatures.

All Set and Ready for the Challenge
 

Hello Everyone. I went ahead and weighed myself this morning and the scale read 214 pounds. Considering I have 3 weeks and some change till Memorial Day I have set the following goals for myself:

My Memorial Day Challenge
Starting Wednesday, April 30th
* I will drink 9 glasses of water instead of 8 glasses
* I will use my treadmill 4 or 5 times a week
* Put me down for an 10 pound weight loss by Memorial day
* My weight as of Wednesday, April 30th (214 pounds)
* My goal weight for this challenge will be 204 pounds

Also so I don't discourage myself I will only weigh myself 3 times during this challenge. Today then May 14th and lastly on May 26th which is the final day of the challenge when I report my weight.

Good Luck to all and as I always mentioned before I am happy to be here and I am happy we can share our journey together.

Do you remember:rofl: if the Brand was Carb Conscious or something else?? I have never heard of it. I have thought of trying to make my own with fresh squeezed lime juice and stevia, not sure how that will work. Margaritas are a favorite of mine I was hoping I could find a way to make them more calorie friendly.

In the past I have bought a low carb something or another by Barcardi. I had the coconut flavor (it comes in other flavors) it reminded me of Malibu, not bad...but still not a 'rita.

I don't remember the brand... I do remember that they had a few different varieties of what she called Carb Conscious...

Hey Losers!! ;)

Hope everyone is still working toward our goals for Memorial Day...just three weeks to go.

So, love Google...here is what I found: http://www.finestcall.com/products/p...page.asp?id=42. JulieZ, is this what you had?:cheers:

That was IT! Wow, good detective work :)

This plan is awesome :-)

So what would you count the mix as? I know the alcohol is a starch but what about the mix?

My margarita' are with crystal lite mixes ie.... lemonade flavor put a small amount of orange in.
Works real well :carrot:
Roma ;) ;)

I didn't count the mix because it's sugar free...

Nice!

Good Morning all,:)
No time to post much today . We pick up the GS at the hospital today.
Roma :carrot:

17 days till our challenge is up! I am down 7 lbs. My goal is 15 so I have 8 more to go. That is possible I think or maybe not? I hope I can get close! 12 lbs till goal! I think I am going to have to continue to lose weight after that maybe take down to 135. That will mean losing another 20 once I hit my goal? Hmmm? Not sure what I want to do?

Ok maybe I will make my goal for memorial day I have 6 lbs to go and 15 days. It is possible! Whoo hooo!

Congrats Cecil,

You will definitely make your goal soon.

I finally hit a wall... I was going along so smoothly! Going to keep plugging away and hope for a huge week!

I may actually make this goal. I am so excited. Everyone keep up the good work.

I hope to make my 10 lb goal as well!

I am down 4 lbs and have 6 to go. I am doing some extra walking and drinking a ton of ice water. Good luck to everyone.

I thought I posted here the other day, but I don't see it. So at the risk of repeating myself....As of May 12.....I REACHED MY MEMORIAL DAY GOAL :carrot:

So for that reason...I am gonna try for 5 more!!!

Congratulations Kateb!!!!!!

I only have two pounds to go. I should make this challenge. I am so excited. Everyone keep up the good work.

9 days till we are done with our challenge where is everyone at?
I am still 6 lbs away. I hope that I can at least be down another 5 by the time we are done. Realistically maybe 4. Ha! Good luck to you all!

Cecil- I have been wondering where you were. Just keep at it I am sure that you will make it.

Hiya Dionne! I love the new pics! Wow! You look great! Thanks for the reassurance. I need it sometimes. Ha!
