motivatedbride, how awesome is that, losing 100 lbs!!!! woooohooooo!!!!!
I know what you mean about your other half not understanding what an accomplishment it is. Mine doesn't get it either, oh well Maybe that's one reason I got this way in the first place???
You are so right about focusing on yourself, for once and sooooo true about the exercise, I never thought about it like that before. I think you just caused me to have an epiphany!!!! Thank you!!!!

As long as you keep going. I have been in the same boat but recently got a bit of motivation. So far im down five lbs looking forward to the 230's.

I changed mine too

Hey ladies Im still posting my weight and everything I just forget to post and bump the thread. Ive been preparing myself mentally for this move in a couple of weeks. My anxiety is threw the roof. Its weird how Im so happy to be moving but yet Im having panic attacks which I rarely have had in the past. Everyone says this is normal to be stressed but its so annoying since Im really excited about Colorado.

I hope everyone else is having a better week mentally then me. I have been tracking everything and I bought a scale to weigh my food. Its so weird how on labels it says 1 cup equals X amount of cals, but when I weigh the amount of food that I get from 1 cup it is about 50 cals more then it says on the box. So Im happy to have my food scale since I was underestimating the weight of food.

Im down another lbs

CW 239!!!!! I am hoping to lose two more lbs this week!

SW: 229
CW: 221

So it's looking like I have about 20 pounds to lose in two months. Is it possible? I've never lost ten pounds in a month before and I would like to preferably be in onderland by May 1st, but at the very least (most) be 200 and make the doctor very happy on 4/30.

Weekly goals:
02/01/2010 201.0
02/08/2010 199.0 199.5
02/15/2010 197.0 197.0
02/22/2010 197.0 197.0
03/01/2010 195.5
03/08/2010 194.0

03/22/2010 191.0
03/29/2010 189.5
04/05/2010 188.0
04/12/2010 186.5
04/19/2010 185.0
04/26/2010 183.5
GOAL 05/01/2010 --- 182.0! Last saw this weight before my second pregnancy (6 years)!

I had to adjust my goal after realizing that there is no way I can maintain a 2 pound per week loss, and I don't want to fall way behind, because I will just become discouraged and won't be motivated anymore. I'll still have a hard time keeping up, but I do want to push myself.

Good luck everyone!

It took a bit, but I think I found my stride and hopefully I can get to 200lbs. by my doctor's appointment on 4/30 or maybe stretch it to one more pound and make it to onederland!

I think, for me, making it to onderland is going to be the hard part of this journey. I've been in the 200s for so long (and didn't even realize that I had gotten so heavy until I was diagnosed with a weight-related illness and my weight had topped at 257!). Once I get down to a weight that starts with a "1," losing the rest will be much easier.

Hi ladies I just wanted to post a update. Im gonna take a break from weighin myself every week. I have made the mistake of giving up from lack of progress on the scale. But the truth is that I am getting results just not on the scale. I have lost inches and I have decided to focus on that instead of pounds lost. I will weigh myself once a month but not every week like I have been doing. Im gonna continue working out and tracking my food like I have been doing for several months now. I am down 3 lbs since we started the challenge and Im sure I am down several inches since we started. I will post my weight on here once a month, so yeah Im not gone but I just wont be updating my weight weekly. On a good note my pants are getting loose and my shirts aren't as tight as they were. Eventually the pounds will start to come off but at this time my body is getting rid of fat as well as gaining lean muscle, so Im gonna give my body time to transition slowly without going to drastic measures to drop the pounds. I will still be here to cheer you ladies on

some progress being made!

I just joined this site last week so I am just joining this challenge. I am leary about saying "I'll lose X number of pounds in X number of weeks" because I've done that so many times in the past and not succeeded. This time WILL be different. I just have to be realistic. Maybe I'll just say "I'm gonna lose as much as I can possibly lose healthily by May 1 by keeping myself on plan and continue to exercise at least 5 days a week."

2/25/10 - 256.5
3/2/10 - 251.6
