Well ladies I did end up having a loss this time. I leave on the 2nd so I won't be able to go to meeting. So the challange is over for me.
I have to end my challange a week early because I will be gone to myrtle beach for a week. So hopefully I can lose weight before I go. That is the plan. I am still working at it and boy is it work.
Hi friends
Count me in. I will go for being less than 255 by that date. I am not sure what my current is now as I have not been to weigh-in for 3 weeks.
My posting weigh-in will be on Wednesdays. See you all lighter.

I will try for another 6 pounds. I met the last challenge, barely, so I will stay with 1 pound a week.
April 4 ~ no weigh in~SRD
April11~ -1.50#
April 18~ -3#
April 25~ -1.50# I'm almost afraid to say anything. But I am determined to reach my goal!
May 2~ -2.25# Yeah! I'm 9.75# from goal!
May 9~ -75#
One day at a time!
Well I just posted this to the Low Carb Thread and I'll do it here too
I'm already down to only 1# over what I was before i got pregnant (according to my home scale anyhow). I'm not going to commit to a certain number of pounds to lose, but will commit to keeping my water up over 100 oz a day, continuing to eat no added salt, eating veggies with every meal (except fruit), and not combining my proteins and carbs.
This will be my first Mother's Day, and I want to greet it healthier than I was at the same time last year.
I will also commit myself to exercising as soon as I get the go ahead from the Dr. Hopefully at my 4 week postpartum check.
I just found this board and would like to join.
I am not sure if I am doing this right but sure would like to try.
I haven't been sucessful at losing weight but i do keep on trying.
I never had anyone to encourage me and lose confidence in myself after a little while.

Count me in for joining the Mother's Day challenge. I did not do very well for the Easter challenge, but spring is here (on the calendar) and coming (the weather) so I should be able to get out and exercise, which for me, is the key. I would like to have a loss of 5 pounds, but anything would be great.
April 2 - down 1/4 pound (will happily take it!)
April 9 - up 1 1/2 (TOM)
April 16 -down 3/4 pound
April 23 -
April 30 -
May 7 -
Hopefully, there will be lots more (smiles) on Mother's Day!
Well, well, well, here I am. I guess I will try to get back to my goal weight. Haven't been there since May 2001....11 MONTHS!!!!! So....that means that before tonights weigh-in I have 7#'s to lose.
Lets START and Continue the determination!!!!!
April 3 - lost .25! I'm happy it's a loss, but need to get better.
10 - lost 4.5. Thrilled to be back in leeway. WHEW!
17 - Turtled....barely! WHEW!
24 - gain .75. [boo-hoo] Back at top of leeway.
May 1 - gain 1.5#'s! That much out of leeway!
8 - another gain! .5!!!! NO NO NO!!!!!
I did not end this on a good note. Yes, I am down 2#'s BUT I'm over my leeway again. Bring on the next challange!!!!
