love2b150: Thanks, she's the happiest baby, always smiling.
Cheyenne: I hope you enjoyed your camping trip. I can't wait to take my girl's camping for the first time towards the end of this summer! My husband and I have been planing to go every year since we started dating, but it just never panned out.
LilDazed: Congrats on the loss!
I like having a Monday weigh in day, it stops me from going totally hog wild on in the weekends, which I consider my lax days. However this weekend was crazy hectic and we ended up eating more take-out then I would like. I had a lower weight earlier this week, and I'm pretty sure I'm holding on to some sodium induced lbs.
But hey a 1 lb drop is still going in the right direction!
I also didn't really push to find the time to go and exercise. I need to do that, if only because I really enjoy it and it keeps my mood away from 'must eat everything chocolate'.
Hope everyone has a happy weigh in!

Another week, and I finally lost some, and not just some but a lot! Amazing what staying OP does to one's weight I lost 5.6 pounds since last weigh-in. All bloat!! Now the hard work begins; the "real" fat loss.
I adjusted my total loss goal to 130 pounds; 11.6 pound total loss. I am secretly hoping that it will be closer to 15 pounds tho
CanadianMomma Mine is the opposite; I am more disciplined on weekends, I am even considering moving one of my fast days to Sundays ( I follow the 5:2 plan). -- There are exceptions though; when my son plays tournament ball; we eat out a lot on those weekends. BUT, because my DH () travels during the week, I eat out of loneliness and boredom on those days, and when he is home, he is my rock and biggest supporter; he kindly reminds me if things I am about to eat are OP and how I will feel on the following morning when weigh-in time comes. So it is easier to stay OP on weekends for me. -- I also cook more on the weekends, because the whole family is home.
I wrote to my FB wall that I am so happy today that I could burst! -- I have been perfectly on plan and great things are happening. I am 3 + pounds away from losing 40 pounds, which I hope to achieve in 10 days or less; then I will work on losing total of 50 pounds by September 4th; for my European vacation.
Last time I was in Europe, I was at my heaviest. My friends will be blown away when they see me!
Sum38: You've made such amazing progress! I can only imagine how excited you are for your trip. I've thought of trying out IF for awhile now. I first learnt about it when I was pregnant with the little one I'm nursing right now. Once she is fully weaned I'm going to give it a go.
I'm on TOM so that might explain why my weight went down and then up a bit again. Hopefully in a week I will have a nice little whoosh. Either way I was sure to set myself a modest goal so I knew even slow progress would get me there (kinda feels like cheating haha).

I'm glad you're in!! =) For the starting weight.. Your current weight, or the weight when you joined in. It's just so the calculation inputs will correctly show your progress over the next 7 weeks =)
Great.. Glad to have you!!! Don't forget to add your info to our spreadsheet!!! You can find the link on the first page, first comment... or bookmark it =) or find this post on page 3 each week!! Good Luck!
Good news #1, I bought new pair of jeans - the size smaller It feels great! going to wear them so everyone can see!
Good news #2, I am ready (i am sure i am ready) to move on to week #3 of training to 5K. It will be a bit more running and a bit less walking this time compared to what i have been doing. My trick is that I do this with my favorite music on the background. It helps me a lot to not think about stuff like "OMG i cant do it!" lol With music i feel like i can do it and more So today I will start new level YEY!

Another reason to celebrate for sure. YOu can totally do this! =)
unwanted37lbs - Great to hear about the jeans. I swear, those are always the hardest thing to shop for.
Weigh-Day. Down to 153.9. Sweet! =3 I wasn't sure. My TOM is just around the corner so I was crossing my fingers the scale hadn't gone up yet. Awesome!
me too! me too! can I jump in here?! I am in need of some accountability and the push to take off these last few pesky pounds. I'll input my data with a weigh in tomorrow.
lol
