    Here it is Wednesday again (and Feb. 1st too!) Weigh in day for me on this strand (started this way back in December?)
    Anyway -- everyone who is new -- just keep the focus and the motivation to log that food. I started in August and here it is Feb. and I've lost around 25 lbs. That's 1 lb. /week, approximately. Amazing how good this feels.

    Hi! I'm 5 foot and a half inch! I'd love to join this group - need as much motivation as possible as am around 13 and a half stone, need to lose about 4 stone to stop me from looking like a weeble! Need as much motivation and support as possible, cos I've set myself a 12 week target to lose at least a stone!

    I actually hit 119 a week ago, went up to 121, and just got back down to the 119s today.

    I'm starting to up my calories a little. I set them higher than what they were to lose .5 lb a week, and I'm even going over that number by a few most days. My week's average was about 100 calories a day below maintenance, but I worry about margin of error.

    I know this is, in a lot of ways, just the beginning!

    Today is weigh in day. I've been weighing myself daily to make sure I stay on track with eating and exercising. It has produced positive results. Have a fantabulous Friday.

    Great job, and I'm looking forward to seeing you reach your "teens". Ooh, power yoga sounds cool. I remember feeling pretty good at 133 last year, so 127 must be heaven. I've not had a net loss for 3 weeks (I'm at 143), but have lost/gained the same 2 every week. I upped my cardio a little more, but I've also wrecked my leg two weeks in a row doing Zumba. Don't know which muscle/ligament it is, but excruciating pinches of pain that make you yelp every time you move is not good. It lasts a whole week, and I just did it again this week. Darn body. I can't afford an injury, so I've got to keep looking for the right exercise fit for me. I could just keep doing my DVD's at home, but I DO belong to a gym. I suppose I could just use the treadmill... bummer. I'm determined to keep this train moving though!

    Weigh in Wednesday! I was BAAAADDDD this week with the Superbowl party! Last week I was 126.6 on Wed., I was 126.0 on Friday, and, on Monday morning I was back up to 128.3. But, this doesn't freak me out anymore! I got right back to it, ate the way I really DO like to eat (greens, veggies, protein, fruit) and, even without doing any exercise except for walking the dog (thankfully I did a Power Yoga class before the superbowl party!) I am back to 126.2 this a.m. I am sure -- SURE -- that I"ll hit 125 this weekend. Heading for the teens is right @SheilaCali !! (As always, thanks SO MUCH for the encouragement.)
