Ok here we go. I tried to be reasonable because my kitchen is still gutted and this has been sooo difficult to sop! I ordered the dress yesterday and it still wasn't the size I wanted so I am going for eight pounds...like I said reasonable I don't want to get discouraged! Goodluck everyone! I love these mini goas they make life so much easier don't they!

I'm SO in!! I didn't do as well as I wanted in my St. Patty's goal but I'm still in the game and know I'll do better for Easter. I'm putting my goal at 10lbs. That gives me about 2.5lbs (give or take an ounce) per week. I think that's doable.

If it's possible to fall off the wagon while still being within your points then I did it the last few weeks. I was staying within my points however I wasn't eating the best foods and i wasn't following the 8 rules or really exercising. :( HOWEVER, this week has been my 'get back on the wagon' week. I've been following the program better and I'm exercising a bit each day.

I'm determined to win this war even if I lose a few battles along the way. The most important thing to me is that I don't give up. If I fall down then I just get back up. That's the mindset I need to have. ( I feel like I need a hoo-rawh in there. ;) )

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I'm in! I'm setting a 7lb goal :D

Off to get a new ticker ;)

My start weight is 196.4. I'm new to weight watchers and will lose 10 pounds by Easter.
Gotta figure out how to add another ticker......

why not - what have I got to lose but weight! LOL!

I'll join in but will set my goal after I weigh-in tomorrow :)

I'm in! I just started WW at home today, i'm setting my goal at 15 lbs, i'm shooting high! Should be able to do that by just cutting out all the junk food!

This is great, should be just what I need to keep going!

Well ladies I had my first weigh in at WW today. Down 3.4 pds wooooo hoooo! I was majorly scared that i didnt lose any. Thats why i set my Easter goal so low. Well its okay i will just surpass that goal. Its always a good thing when you surpass a goal. So how is everyone else doing?

Well, I didn't make my St. Pat's goal. :( I was iffy but then lost 4 pounds from being sick so I thought I'd make it. Nope, gained 2 back last week when I started eating again. So, I am going to make a more conservative Easter goal of 8 pounds but hope for 10. 8 pounds will put me 2 pounds below my 10% goal so I really want to at least get there!

My exercise goal is to get back into the swing of things from 2 lazy weeks of being sick. That means 3 trips to Curves and the treadmill at least 4 times a week. Now that I've said it, I'll feel much more accountable for it.

Hello All!! I had WI today. And I was pleasantly surprised that I lost 3.6 pounds. YEAH!!!! :carrot: :carrot: After going 2 weeks were I lost only .4 and .2 lbs and then gaining back .6 lbs last week I was getting a bit discouraged. But I'm back. I'm working the program right again. :) YEA!!!! :carrot: :carrot:

Good Luck on WI this week ladies. I hope you're as pleasantly surprised as I was!!!

I had a good start. I am down 1.8 at the first weigh in. I just have to average 2 lbs per week and I will be under 190 by Easter. I hit 190 during my first pregnancy and have never made it back - I can't wait.

I would do it but I won't be getting my WW stuff from storage till the weekend of the 15th. Next goal I'm in!

I'm going to go for 10 lbs gone by Easter. :D

I had WI this morning. I am down 0.8 lbs
I was really bummed out since I have increased my walking to about 1 to 1 1/2 miles more per day - and I walked everyday last week.
They told me at WW it may take a week or so to really show at the scale - I just really wanted that 50 lbs mark today - so I will keep it up and really try again this week and see what happens next week. I want to keep my 7 pound goal for Easter -
Every pound or tenth of pounds is closer to my goal

I am really struggling! Every month when it is my tom I fall into this free for all and I am so afraid I will fall in and not get out! So I will try this again. I know that the kitchen being remodeled is a huge part of this but there really isn't an excuse to justify it. I need you guys to get on me about what is important to keep me motivated..I think two weeks and I will have a kitchen again and the good news is I am sooooooo sick of eating out. I feel like a little kid that got cut smoking and the parents made them smoke a whole pack right in a row...lol. I want to cook!
But great job to everyone else...I am up two pounds on my ticker an I refuse to change it because I need to get it back down. I hopt that when my aunt flies out she will take the weight with her until next month!

You have to stay modivated. Don't give yourself the excuse of TOM. That is what it is an excuse and you need to stay on track and focus. Make sure during this time you write down everything that goes in your mouth. You will be able to see that you can make that week - the same as any other week.
We can loose this weight and keep it off.
Hildy - you are half way to your all time goal!! Keep it up
