    Weigh-ins were yesterday morning. Down a little more in my weight, but weighed myself this morning (shouldn't have!!) and had gone back up. But oh well... what can you do.

    7/26/10 Weigh-in: 153.2 lbs
    8/2/10 Weigh-in: 152.4 lbs

    Hoping to be out of the 150's soon, but not getting my hopes up too high. Its been slow in progress, but at least I'm not moving the other way on the scale. Hope by next week to be down to 151 lbs. We have a family reunion this weekend with my husband's family and its gonna be filled with fatty foods and stuff I can't eat, better pack well. It'll be up in the mountains so I better plan for some hiking and get in some exercise.

    I'm back on track! I'm focusing on my goal to be down 30lbs. by Christmas! At that point I would be 17 lbs. away from my ultimate goal! I just got a call from my son and his wife this past Sat. and they are planning to come for Thanksgiving!! {they are from Virginia & I live in Indiana} I'm so excited
    will get to see my grandson too! {he will be 2 in Oct.} So I'm working towards being down approx 24 lbs by then and then that leaves 6 lbs. to make it to my total goal of 30 lbs. by Christmas!! I entered the food I ate today in my food journal and stayed on track, actually under the total calories for the day! Like I saw in someone's post the other day....I'd rather have the pain of discipline than the pain of regret! Good Luck to everyone on reaching your goal!! Next week I should be able to post a loss on my tracker.

    Hi, I would like to join y'all if it's not too late! I was at 180.8 this morning... I'm reallllllly hoping to be down to at least 180 by my next weigh in, but 179.something would be even better!! Down 15 or 20 lbs by Christmas would totally rock! I would like to be able to buy a cute new winter outfit instead of hiding behind fluffy sweaters....

    Stayed the same this week. My challenge this week is to stay within my calories and to think up clever ways to get my exercise in as hubbie is out of town and the kids are not in school yet so running is a challenge until next week. Also, I managed to mildly sprain my ankle in soccer last night so running is out for a little while anyway. Good luck all!!

    Count me in too! I'd like to lose 30lb by Christmas if at all possible! 4.5 months... I'm hopeful that I can do it! I've lost 6lb in the last week and a half.

    Feel free to add me as a friend as I'm fairly new on MFP

    Hi, I'm already at my goal weight/size but for me the hard work is staying here!!! so if its ok i would like to join you and aim to stay anywhere between 119 and 126 pounds (at the moment i'm at 121 pounds) and I know that the weekly weigh-ins will help keep me on track especially leading up to Christmas.

    I would love to join in! I hope to be at my goal weight by then 135! I have lost 6 lbs. and have 9 more to go! It is harder for me because I am 52 years old and it seemed to be much easier when I was younger - Good luck to everyone!

    Thanks Desireebutts, Yes it feels fantastic to have reached goal weight, I can not believe it, I have so much more energy and being able to put on clothes that are not too tight etc is a feeling you can not describe :love:

    8/9/10 Weigh-in: 151.8 lbs
    8/16/10 Weigh-in: 151.0 lbs

    Still, slow progress on my weight. Almost down below 150. Can't wait for the day the scale moves down below 150 mark. Trying to incorporate a little more cardio during the day and more veggies in my diet. Hopefully that will change it up enough for me. Also, gonna try and have a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack every day too, not been very good at this.

    So close! Almost can taste 149! That's my mini goal to get below 150 by the end of August! Let's see if I can do it, I have five days to go!
