hello my name is lisa marie i currently weigh 258 i started out 275 back in may and these last few months have been difficult i have also been gain /loose etc .. i am starting over today and i will be taking this one week at a time .. i dont eat that much now ( just the wrong foods) so i will probaly go 1500 cals a day ... wish me luck

I need a one week challenge.. when does it start?
I NEED to do this. I WILL do this.

welcome Lisa Marie! You have done well so far, even if you have had a struggle lately. I think you should visit us here as much as possible-it truly helps keep you in line (it does for me anyway!)

Jenniffer-thanks I WISH I was your weight but I know if I keep on plugging along I will be there *but of course you will be 20-30 pounds less too* didnt you say a little while ago that you were taking a cruise next year? I am too! It looks like June. This past June was Bermuda, next year is Bahamas baby! Where is yours going? have you been to the Bahamas before? (I think I remember you telling me you've cruised before). I am so psyched cause they have them from Norfolk now instead of flying to Miami. It makes it much more convenient for us.

Slimdown and everyone-Your seven day challenge starts whenever you want it to. All you have to do is commit yourself and say "for one week I will stick to my eating plan". It worked for me b/c I didnt want to say I couldnt even do right for a measly week!

didnt weigh in today. I decided not to be too mental with the scale. maybe this wont last long-usually I weigh myself EVERY day!

thanks everyone. i really feel welcomed already
i will be weighing on friday and report how i do then but as for as today goes i did a whole 45 mintue work out with the firm then i did some things i got off of workoutplan.com

omg i cant belive this (ok well i can) i just say here at the puter and ate not one not 2 but 8 pices of halloween candy ... well i fell but i did not get hurt so i back on my horse again ...lol just felt like i needed to post this ... i spent the day cleaning and rearranging my nephews room maybe thats why i needed that candy ........ i know excuses excuses

hello all! how are the seven day challenges going for everyone?
I am on day 5 of my second week. I can hardly believe I have stuck to this for so long! I weighed in yesterday and was 247.5 (another half pound lost) Looking at my calender where I record my weigh ins, I was 252.5 just two weeks ago! 5 pounds gone in two weeks!! Its amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it!

Lisa Marie-Glad you stopped yourself before you ate a ton of candy!!

Jenniffer-I want to be you when I grow up! I have always had this huge desire to travel and "see the world" Not enough to join the Navy though! Mexico is beautiful I hear. This really gives us some inspiration! I didnt look so bad in the pictures from this cruise but look out next year!

313/247.5/243 turkey day(70 pounds)

im back on track.. been doing allot of work around the house so that keeps me from eating any more "candy"

Lisa Marie-I am glad you are back on track!! Stay away from the candy!! You can do it!! You are stronger than the chocolate!

Jenniffer-Oh what can I say?? I am in the same boat you are! I blew it a few days ago after doing well for two weeks. It's like I can only stay on for so long before I lose it. Once I do I am off program for a few days!! I have got to stop this! Well today is a new day and I hope to make this day one on a new one week challenge.

how is everyone else doing?
laura

I did well yesterday and today! I actually did well two days in a row by staying on program with food and exercising two days in a row. I never exercise so this is getting scary!!
hope everyone is doing well~
