Katydid77: You are doing awesome girl.

wannaskipandlaugh... I think some of those pounds are slipping by you and onto me.lol

JollyGreenSteen19... Take that loss and ride the wave!

emurph.. I know what you mean. I have to buy my hubby things I don't like or I tell him to hide them so I won't see them. He's a real good hidder.

ShaMac;; I think your going to make it by April 1st.

Well girls I can't see myself reaching the challenge goal in 9 days. Hopefully someone will start a new challenge for April. I think the nicer weather will help. So depressing with all this snow and cold. I went to a party last night. I didn't do to bad but bad enough. I'll keep plugging along though. :cry:

With the big drops these past two days, I just might make goal!

Thank you :) I don't feel like I'm doing very well, although I KNOW mentally I am, these last couple of days have been a bit frustrating.

Notes ~ Grrrr. I had my heart set on a drop this morning. lol. Its just odd for my weight to be stagnate right now, this is usually when I am able to drop weight!

I am eating VERY low cal, between 1000 and 1200 a day. I know that seems way low to some folks, but when you are 5 feet tall, and on the lower end of the scale (relatively speaking) that is what it takes to lose weight without it being like 2 lbs a month.

Having said that, I may have to cycle in a couple higher calorie days just to get the scale to move. Occasionally it takes that to jump start it a bit. I always hate that, b/c there is this unreasonable fear that I'm undoing everything I have been trying to do and that it's going to stall weight loss or, even worse, reverse it.

I don't know. Will probably stick it out a few more days and see what happens.

What are y'all doing to lose weight?

It's good even if we don't make goal, we are working hard and being conscious!!! Everyone on here is very encouragig.

I was disappointed this morning I gained 2 lbs, I know it's not fat, but honestly I hardly ate anything yesterday and worked out. I didn't drink a lot of water and was in a car for 4 hours though. I'm hoping it goes away by Mon or Tues, and then I'll lose my last 2 lbs. Ugggh.

I am doing low carb, low calorie, and intermittent fasting. So, 3 diets in 1! ha ha I've been losing almost 1/2 pound a day so I am happy and my energy is actually higher than before I was dieting. I guess I'll have to make it a lifestyle not a diet if I want this energy to continue.

WOO!!

WOO! @Dedicated Me 9 lbs down! Yes yes yes! I am eating 1500 calories a day and even if I don't work out (like this week), it's still falling off! :)

I am doing Weight Watchers as well as counting calories (purely out of curiosity.) I plan to get back to working out 3 times a week doing 30 Day Shred and/or elliptical training (30 minutes to an hour but starting out with 15 minutes for now because it has been so long since I last worked out.)

I am still maintaining at 169, hoping it's just water weight, not actual gains!!! Bah.

Hope everyone else is doing better and congrats to those who met goal and still losing!

I'm counting calories using MyFitnessPal. I try to eat a moderate amount of carbs, usually between 100 and 130 grams daily but definitely no more than 150. I also exercise at least 30 minutes every day.

I have tried doing weight watchers on my own without joining...finding it hardd..any tips? I'm allowed 25 pts

Also use my fitness pal as well..
