  • Just popping in to say hello to everyone and to say welcome to the newcomers! Everyone is doing great, it seems -- going through some updates and I am seeing mostly lots of progress. So, congrats all around!

    My update is that I am down to 231.0 as of today, so I have one pound left to go to hit my goal for the challenge...I just got over a little plateau stall, so I'm hoping it will continue to go down more consistently from here for awhile. Fingers crossed!



  • Late, but jumping in! My goals from now to Memorial Day are to COMPLETELY QUIT Diet Coke and lose 12lbs! Only 5 weeks to go. Good luck with to everyone and keep going!

  • Hi ladies!! I haven't posted in a while, so I hope everyone is kicking butt! My goal was to be at 250 by Memorial Day and I am at 255 right now, so I think I'm going to change it to a goal of 245, just to give myself that extra push!

    Have a great rest of your week, everyone!!
  • Just a quick check-in to say that I surpassed my original goal as of this morning! Weigh-in was 229.8, so it was just barely. I'm going to see if it will be possible to lose an additional 10 lbs since we are moving at the end of next month - right around the end of this challenge - instead of next week. I won't be broken-hearted if I don't reach it with all the busy stuff coming up and because I already hit my main goal, but I want to give myself an ambitious "Part Two" goal to keep myself motivated during the moving process.

    -------------------------------

    Start Weight: 246.0
    Original Goal: 230.0
    Current Weight: 229.8
    Second Goal: 220.0

    -------------------------------

    I have updated my ticker to reflect this new goal.

  • OpheliaPhoenix!! You're rocking this and welcome to your next decade!!!!

  • Hey ladies!!

    Queenbee you are doing awesome!!

    Wow, Jessie what a great week!

    Congrats on making your goal Ophelia, you make it look so easy!!

    Welcome daydreamer and gulfmagnolia!!

    Laura nice drop last week!

    You are so close to your goal farn, that is awesome!!

    weekend how did your open house go?

    I am about 10 lbs from my goal and have no idea if I will make it or not. I am sticking to weighing in on Saturdays only, and I actually really like it so far! I wont be surprised if I stay the same this week. I hope that everyone is doing well! On Friday it will be 5 months since I started and I am starting to feel a bit impatient. Any progress is good, especially since I cant see myself going back to eating like I have in the past, but I am having a hard time seeing myself at my goal weight.
  • By Memorial Day I would like to lose 10lbs! Here is to making good choices!
  • Hi ladies

    Hi FitBritt and to anyone else I missed

    I am so sorry I have not posted in at least a week, the time has just gone through my fingers, literally! We are so busy, we listed our house and it is going very well but we have had showings left and right and so I am always cleaning and getting ready for that. On top of that, I have a bunch of other things going on and have not been able to be here as of late in the fashion I would like to so please forgive me!

    I would like to congratulate everyone on all of their successes thus far! and also for sticking with it! Please stick together girls, we still have a whole month left! You have all been so inspiring!

    As for me, well things have been busy as heck and I miss my regular schedule. Last I did a WI I was the same or a bit down (no gain at least) and I have been so busy I have not even had a chance to check my fitbit but for sure I have been very active. I am not perfectly OP as I normally am (I was cooking every night at home all winter) and have had moe carbs but still have been pretty disciplined despite that fact. We hope to start grilling out, right now I am having so many showings that the last thing I want is to make a mess in the house, lol. I am striving to create a balance!


    I can tell you right now that even though I didn't meet my April goal I have been active and as much as my life has taken a very busy turn, I am still cognizant of my goals. We still have a month to go so let's keep it going!

    I love to hear from you and hear how you are doing,,,,,,,, let's keep going! Things have been so busy and so again sorry for not being on but lets please keep sticking together and keep it going! hugssssssss I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
  • Hi fitbritt, welcome and good luck!!

    Weekend Glad to see you are doing well! Good luck on your showings, I hope that you get an offer soon!! It is a lot of work to make sure that your home is ready to show at a moments notice!

    SW: 219.4

    4/8: 215
    4/15: 211.8
    4/22: 209
    4/29: 207.2

    7.8 more lbs to go until goal. This will be tight, but definitely doable!
  • I just got back from vacation this afternoon and... well, we'll see what the scale says. The last few days were a lot better than the first. The last time most of my relatives saw me was five years ago when I ate basically nothing but sugar and almost no meat, so having dessert planned out for every meal was a challenge. And so.much.sodium. from eating out as we traveled. It'll probably take a few days for my body to get back to normal and then we'll see how things shake out with the scale. I'm pretty sure I gained at least a pound, so I will need to make up for some lost time in May.
  • Got myself all in a funk for weighing in at 256.8 and not seeing a loss on the scale. Totally ruined my mood for the day and had me thinking negatively for the first time in a month. I moped and moped, even considered bingeing....until I looked at this thread and realized I DID see a loss! Oh good grief :-( Just goes to show how important non scale goals are. Thanks for the updates and support everyone! Think positively and keep at it. With or without the numbers, it's worth the hard work
