    Finally able to check in! I was on vacation two Mondays ago (I did not weigh-in as I did not have a scale available), and this past Monday, I was sick with the stomach flu. I'm not even sure what my weight was before this as it appears I didn't update even three weeks ago... so I am putting my weight in for these three Mondays as my current weight, which is up 2 lbs. I have been having a pretty tough time. The past month, I was very depressed and my eating habits were horrible - so I think today's weight is actually down, but I can't tell for sure since I honestly gave up for a while. I still appreciate being able to come here and see the words of encouragement and feel like I am not alone in my journey/struggle. Keep up the amazing work, my friends, and please say a prayer/send some positive vibes my way. <3<3

    I'm down again this week... 14.2 lb gone total... Only 10.8 pounds left to meet the 25 pound goal!

    Too bad so many people signed up and only weighed in once or twice and clogged up the columns on the spreadsheet making it so huge compared to how many people are actually actively updating.

    Congratulations on the weight loss!

    I agree with you about the spreadsheet. They may still come in and post a weight at the end, but I wish there was some way in Excel to shuffle those columns with little data in them to the end.

    Well I just learned something. I haven't been entering my weight for this challenge anywhere but here. I am on the second sheet. I notice today someone took out the extra lines and I'm not sure if it was that or else someone accidentally changed my weights, but I can see the last couple of weeks are different from what they were when I entered my weight this morning. I will start entering these weights on the check-ins of MFP, but letting others know in case they have only been entering weights here, that it is possible someone else may inadvertently change them.

    Down 10.8 since the start! Started with my weight loss doctor last week on Thursday and in only 5 days I've lost 4.6. Doing two shakes, 1 meal replacement bar and a 550 cal meal and 30 minutes of cardio 5x/week. I feel so much better. I lost 42 on my own but now I am really feeling the effort pay off.

    Went on a 4 hour hike yesterday with my husband. We have several state parks near us and decided to trek out since it was finally warming up (45° F lol) and sunny. Not sure why we thought we'd tackle a 'Difficult' rated trail. But it was fun and we survived! Still quite a bit of snow and I thought I may fall to my death a few times, but we did it! Wore too may layers and we were absolutely soaked with sweat and snow when we got back to the car. My chest HR monitor said I burned 1920 calories during the hike. I decided to log 1400 burned as I thought that was kind of a lot of calories to burn and I didn't want to over shoot. Felt amazing and I can't wait to get back out there! Told my husband we should start training for the Pacific Crest Trail or Appalachian Trail :D He said I'd lost my mind! Lol.

    Sounds like a lot of fun, and good exercise to boot. With all of that water loss, you should have a good weigh in tomorrow ;)

    Hi Stella, I can add them for you, but not sure where you want me to add them. Weigh in dates on the spreadsheet are February 26th and March 5th :)

    Want me to put February 28th's weight on 2/26 and then weigh in tomorrow for tomorrow's weigh in?

    Down about 20 lbs here since Jan. 1st & 2.5 lbs since our last weigh in. Did really well with staying within my calories, and eating back no more than half of my exercise calories. Also was pretty active last week too. Feels good! :D

    Whew! Tough week but down 2.8 lbs. Lunch out for a work meeting. I was all set to get a grilled salmon salad then they changed the venue to a Thai restaurant- the land of fried things and sauces! Ended up with a chicken salad (dressing on the side) and steamed vegetables. Restaurant was very accommodating when I told them I did not want any rice or noodles or fat. I sipped unsweetened tea while my coworkers had pitchers of Mai Tai's. (Sigh)...someday.
    I'm sticking to my shakes and bars. Also made a huge pot of cabbage soup with only veggies over the weekend and had that for dinner most nights. Walked one mile for 5 of the 7 days and this helped a lot. Also trying to down 64 oz of water a day. I'm floating...but I'll be a thinner floater!!

    Went for a 4.5 hour hike with my husband today. It was 35° F which was actually pretty comfortable to hike in. However, I could have done without the 10 inches of snow we got last week covering the trails. Made some of the climbing up/down and around the river bluffs slick! Love hiking though. I would get out there everyday if I could. Great workout...and now my legs feel like jello! :D
