    New member in the group. Just getting back on the wagon after falling on my head during the holidays. By next November, I will have all new habits, and will be much more fit and active than I am now. Next November all the cookies and treats will NOT BEAT ME! I will develop new habits and activities and coping mechanisms and learn moderation in all things, so that I can live healthy for the rest of my life!

    Hi all I am new and I am excited to join this journey with you!

    My Numbers:
    SW: 250 (highest 275 when pregnant in 2010)
    CW: 229

    1/15/14=221.8
    1/22/14= 218
    1/29/14=

    I completely forgot to check in last week! Thankfully I keep track on my own log. I guess it looks like I need to change my goal. Which is a great thing, but it puts a little pressure on me for the week.
    I also and a little reluctant to do that just yet, bc I don't trust my home scale.
    When I weighed myself this morning my husband was home and he told me not to weight myself where I was. So of course I had two different weights. 218 and 215. I took the higher, just in case. I have a dr.'s apt tomorrow so I will find out my true weight, hoping for the latter or the two. =)

    You all are doing wonderful keep up the great work!!!

And I need to start sleeping more I am exhausted! And starting to do some strength training again! I won't make the 289 this month but I will make a difference!


    I wish I could congratulate each one separately for coming here, weighing in doing good caring about yourselves but there are so many names so many new and older members it's just not possible! So high fives to everyone who came good or bad, who cared enough about themselves to struggle through another week! Your all awesome and you all deserve to reach your goals!

    Well, I had a .2 gain, not near as bad as I thought. I worked out enough :bigsmile: Although, I did have a couple of bad food days. :embarassed:

    Been tracking my weight but have not recorded it here. I've injured my ankle, so no exercise and a lot of water weight. Also This month was full of celebrations for me, my birthday, a lot of my friends birthday and I got accepted into law school, which meant a lot of cake :) so I'm hoping to just break even from where I started this month or more realistically 235.

    Closeout: 1/31/14 =

    Two weeks of work to get back to where I thought I was, and the way I was trending earlier this week, I am SO happy to be back here... Paula, I appreciate the thoughts on the scale, but we really have nowhere to put something like that. The scale we have now is stored next to the tub in the Master bath. I'll live, even if I rant every 4 to 6 months! One week left to get to goal (and it looked so much like I was going to blow by it!) :laugh:

    Heads up fellow moderators. I have business trips most of February, at least one of which is to a place that doesn't have Verizon cell coverage, so I will likely be starting from scratch on everything! I'll be taking a month off the challenges. If either of you want the spreadsheet for tracking group progress, let me know. It takes about 20 minutes once a week to catch it up.

    LTGW: 140

    Weigh ins:
    1/3/14= 200 (+ .5) Normal fluctuation for daily weighing. This half pound is there one day and gone the next.
    1/11/14= 199.5 (- .5) Back to Onederland, but only as of this morning.
    1/18/14= 198 (-1.5) Feels solid now.
    1/25/14= 197 (-1.0) Sevens are my "round" numbers - I've lost exactly 120 pounds.
    1/31/14=

    I've started lifting (small) weights - hopefully this is turning fat into muschle. :tongue: I am also including more starches (not a lot though) with my meals, which make meals easier to eat, which makes me want to eat more. It doesn't feel out of control though. Eating at the top of my range (800 cal/day) instead of the bottom (600 cal/day). Probably why my losses are halved.

    Best, all.

    All entries done to this point.

    Running total for the group: -112 lbs.

    Congratulations to all. This month is so "normal" for a group. Some people struggle for a couple weeks, then hit a big number or post challenges (or celebrations!) they have had.

    Keep your eye on the prize folks. I'm proud of every last one of you and the amazing things you do each and every day of the week!

    What a group!

    One week left. Let's make it a great one! Please try to post by no later than 2 p.m. EST on Sunday 2/2 so I can finish this up for the month before I leave in February. Thanks everyone.

    Hi All,

    Overall I am very happy I found a group where I feel support as I continue in this health and wellness journey.

    I didn't hit my goal for this week. For every great day of exercise I had a equally not so great day with bad food. I know that this past week as been awful however whatever I do over the next 5 days I will be proud.

    Hi All,

    As you can see I am starting late. My goal over the next 10 days is to lose 3-5 pounds. I am hopeful that next month I will start the challenge early and lost significantly more weight.

    I'm glad I found this group because I need support to move out of the 200's this year. flowerforyou
