Way to go Jools on the progress!
Marla Jean is rocking the minutes. Anything more this week?
Kristen, glad everything is going well and hope the stress eating is being kept at a minimum. Puppy's are so much fun! And an excuse to go for some extra walks. What kind of puppy did you get?
Hang in there Rach. February I had like 3 weeks of no movement (super frustrating), but then had a big drop at the end of the month. If you know you're on track, keep going (ease off if you need to for sanity) and trust that your body will catch up.
Failing on the workouts (AGAIN)
Just need to figure out how to better manage time. I'll do weigh in tomorrow. I tried being good over the work trip, but gained a couple pounds so hoping I won't be worse than maintaining (still a little up this morning). 0 -

Since weigh in down have felt crap. Wedding stress is getting to me. A week out from rsvp due and have a heap of people to chase up - surely people know if they are coming or not by now?!?!
Sitting back tonight with some wine. Just need some time out..
Pls tell me this is normal and I am not just going crazy0 -
SW (March 3): 156.0
W1 (March 10): no weigh-in due to business travel
W2 (March 17): 154.4
W3 (March 24):
W4 (March 31):
I'm pretty happy with the scale. It's a little slower than my target 1lb/week loss, but still a good rate and I know I was inconsistent with the calorie counting and eating a fair amount of junk last week. I'm frustrated I'm not getting to the gym or workouts at home, but I guess I'm doing enough with diet to keep the scale under control.
Doesn't sound crazy at all Rach. I'm not looking forward to chasing down RSVPs (I really do need to get invitations ordered). I think we all need those breaks once in a while. Hang in there.0 -
450/1250
ugh, been fighting a nasty head cold, so haven't been doing much although did get in a walk on Tuesday, so I'll log that now...hoping to do another walk (at least) today.
Sinuses and constant head pounding headaches won't allow for anything more strenuous...gonna have some catching up to do!

Hey @MsMarlaJean - I have been wondering what your 450/1250 means? Sorry if I have missed it previously.
Good work @brisingr86 !!

Hey @MsMarlaJean - I have been wondering what your 450/1250 means? Sorry if I have missed it previously.
My goal for March is to put in 1250 minutes of exercise when I post it is usually how many minutes out of 1250 I have accomplished so far.

Feel better Marla Jean!
Thanks Rach.0 -
I had to chase lots of people, and lots of my aunts and uncles just didn't respond!?!
Ugh I have huge wedding family politics stress today, which I so wanted to avoid, at least the weigh ins are going well!0 -
I have started sending some msgs out to give people a friendly nudge a week out0

Glad you're feeling better Marla Jean and well done on the workout minutes.
WOOT! for Jools. Own the weigh in, enjoy it and see what happens next week. You can definitely make GW this month.0 -

Been under 154 the last couple days and was low on calories last night due to an upset stomach so not quite sure what's going on, but last month kept stalling on weigh-ins and then dropped most of it in one week, so can only hope for the same.
Rach, glad to see the scale is headed back down for you (lowest weight of the month! kudos).
MarlaJean is definitely back from vaca mode and killing the workouts and the scale. Keep up the awesome work (and positive attitude).
Jools? Sam? Kristen? Jill? How are you ladies faring?
Last week of the month ladies so let's make it count!0 -

911/1250
Crazy busy at work this week, but still getting in some GREAT workouts which is good since being sick...May actually make my goal for the month...we shall see!0 -
Well done marla! Sarah you need to crack a quick and easy way to fit in workouts!
I maintained this week, but still puts me on track for meeting my goal th is month.
Cw: 154.2
Gw: 154
7lbs from ultimate goal! Gave my final measurements for the dress, the dress which I'm starting to get really worried about!really hoping it looks good, she sent me. Apical of the embroidery part of the dress she is working on and the colors aren't quite as bright as I was hoping for, do I say something now or wait to see a picture o db the full dress?!0 -
971/1250
Whoa! Pushing it close! Looks like I will need approximately 70 minutes each day for the next 4 days to reach my goal!
I'm on it!

Oh Easter!!! Too much food and chocolate!!!0

996/1250
Not looking like I will meet the 1250 goal this month as I wasn't feeling great last night and only got in a 25 minute walk yesterday at lunch...
I'd have to do two 127 minute workouts over the next two days--don't really see that happening, but I'll be happy if I at least get to 1100-1150 for the month!0 -
Sorry I haven't been here much lately.
Glad you recovered from being sick (hopefully? Sorry you weren't feeling great last night again) Marla Jean and still admirable on your workout minute totals.
Keep up the great work Jools! Being so close to ultimate goal is really exciting! Did you ever reach out about the coloring on your dress? I feel like if you approach it right it doesn't hurt to say something early. You could kind of pose it as a question (you were hoping the colors were a bit brighter, is that an artifact of the partial picture or something that could be addressed?). You're not questioning the person's expertise, you're just trying to make sure it gets to your expectations. If this person does this a lot, I'd guess it's not unreasonable and if you're being polite it's not going to be a big deal. When you do get pictures of the whole dress make sure to share!
Rach, I know the feeling. But 2 days until a new month and you can do this! Don't think there are any major holidays with significant food components for a while...
Last weigh in for me tomorrow...no excuse not to hit the gym tonight. I will go. I will go. I will go.0 -

Part of me figures this has to be kind of a fluke, but it does actually stick to a 1lb/week loss average. I can hope. I just have to keep it going in April.0 -
1106/1250 took my dogs and my Mom's dogs on a LONG LONG walk and one of my Mom's dogs is older and WAY out of shape so I had to carry him half the way--needless to say it slowed me down, but was a good Workout! LOL!
I have Cardio Boxing tonight so if I can squeak in a walk at lunchtime I may be able to at least make it to 1200 minutes-YAY! Better than I thought I would do these last couple days.
Nice loss @brisingr86 Woo-hoo! Keep it up! 0 -
1196/1250
Forgot to add yesterday's lunch walk too so with today's minutes it gives me a grand total of 1196!
