Good morning, challengers! Happy Thursday!
One more week in the month...can you believe that?
Ruthie...congrats to you!
Shirley...enjoy your vaycay!
I just finished a 40 minute walking DVD with Leslie Sansone. It's easy, and I have the energy, so why not? I am so grateful that you can choose music only rather than listen to her chat the entire time.
How are you guys gonna move and groove today?
The sun is out
, but it is very cold for SC. Wind chill is 13 and the high will be 32. I know this is balmy for some of you folks in minus degree weather. ![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
I hope all of you keep warm wherever you are and enjoy the day you've been given.
Stay strong!

Thank you, Marie. The travel is related to my husband's job. We have been in Europe for work but are heading back to the USA next week. We have to find a place to live hence the hotel stays in my future. I will be glad when we are all unpacked and back to a routine!
Shirley - enjoy your vacation! I will need one after this move!

Weigh in day and I am happy! I lost 3lbs this week.
I really needed that because beginning Sunday I will be on the road in hotels in Europe and the USA for a week or even two. I do much better with my own kitchen.
The scale briefly dipped into the 180s but only once so I won't record that just yet.

That's exactly what I was doing when I got of the scale! So I will continue my green smoothie eating plan and hopefully I will reach my GW by my birthday in July.
I've been averaging 10 lbs a month, so if it continues this way I should reach my goal by May!! We will see what happens...0 -

Thank you! I'm in the DC area and it is FREEZING here as well. Thankfully there is a gym in my building, so I got up and worked out for 33 minutes before I started my day off. That walk to the Metro was just awful, way too cold!0 -

GREAT job Ruthie and Cristina!!! Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Cristina is the first to reach 20 lbs on the challenge
.
Have fun on your travels this coming week Shirley and Ruthie. Where in the states are you heading Ruthie?
Another lovely day in the Pacific NW! Unseasonably warm and I'm seeing bulbs popping up and my neighbors dogwood is full of pink flowers!
Hope you all are having a terrific Thursday

Ruthie, that's just awesome! Keep up the good work - soon you will be back into a routine
Cristina, how wonderful for you! Congratulations on being the first to the goal - you are inspiring!!!
What do you put in your smoothies? I have not tried them yet, but would like to...
It's 6 degrees right now, with a windchill of -13. Getting ready to leave for my Curves workout - that will warm me up
Happy Thursday, all!

congratulations everyone,
I love to see the progress in the scales going down. it is very motivating to me.0 -
I'd love to join this challenge!
I tried MFP a few years ago, but wasn't dedicated to the process and eventually stopped using it. I had decided a while back that the scale was the enemy, because if the numbers weren't what I wanted after putting in exercise then I'd just get all down and depressed over it, so I put it in the closet so I wouldn't be tempted.
Well, last month I decided I'd weight myself, just out of curiosity because it had been a while. I left an active, fast-paced job in September, so any extra calories I'd been consuming normally, snowballed into even more weight since being unemployed. Unfortunately though, no one bothered to tell me I went and got fat(ter)! Haha.
I am 5' 8", and I was expecting to see my typical over-weight weight of 160-165 when I stepped on the scale. To my complete surprise it said 184! I am so glad that instead of feeling depressed about this realization I decided to start counting calories the very next day. I remembered MyFitnessPal and logged back on to start the journey FOR REAL this time!
Today is day 23 back using MyFitnessPal, and I am down 13 lbs. so far!
Starting weight: 184
Current weight: 171.2
Goal weight: 1400 -

Hi I just stumbled upon this post and would love to join... need some serious people to help keep me accountable! I lost about 35 pounds last year and have gained 15 of it back since September. I have used this tracker off an on, but can never stay on it for more than a week or two.
Hoping that we can all keep each other motivated during this journey!

Welcome to our newbies! This is a fantastic group of losers and we are here for everyone!
Despite seeing a drop on the scales the day before yesterday, and then burning over 1000 calories yesterday and eating below my calorie goal the scales went up this morning!! Grrrrr
Nevertheless this has not deterred me...I am heading out for another bike ride very shortly and will continue my healthy eating :-)
Happy Friday everyone!

Keep positive! A couple weeks ago I went up 3 lbs. after going out to celebrate my husband's b-day and spent several days making it go back down. And I went up 2 lbs. after going out for Valentine's Day last week, and it took 3 days to get that to go back down. There are ups and downs but we'll prevail!0

Thats life, sometimes even when we are doing what we feel is right the scale shows different, the thing is to not let it control you, and get down, and lose motivation.0
