WOOO HOOOO....we made it to Day 15!!!! After losing weight for a year, I seem to be at a plateau but with these challenges and groups helping me stay accountable and motivated I think I may have finally crossed over that plateau. I will know for sure Monday morning when I get to weigh-in on a set of scales that are very accurate!
WTG!! Keep us all posted on the "Melting Monday" weigh in!! Good luck!! :drinker:0 -
I dont know if my profile is public but before the 2010-2011 winter seasons I actually lost weight considering holidays and all of that...I wanted to prove to my self that I can do it again and I actually am doing it again...Im not ready to give up here or there or any where til I am satisfied so if it takes 2 years Im in it for the long haul
Just so you know your profile is not public. Your diary is open though. :flowerforyou:
Nice attitude to have!!! I KNOW my weight didn't take six months to come on....it certainly took longer than that to take it off. HOW EVER LONG IT TAKES!!! :bigsmile:
I know my diary is. I joined a group in Nov that said stay true to logging everything so when I did, I decided to open my diary.... then recently I changed my times again and half my food disappeared on me lol but past couple days is usually how I eat0 -

THANKS!! I used to weigh in on Fridays. Then depending on how well the weigh in went, I would lighten up over the weekends. Not super bad, but not the same as during the week. Then someone suggested a Monday weigh in. Now, I rethink those weekend temptations because I know I have my weigh in on Monday!!! Started seeing a more consistent lose. :bigsmile:0 -

Crappy week. Monday and Tuesday I feel like this is going no where. I am stuck. So stuck. Trying hard, going no where. So I decided to change things up ...... again. Then Wednesday had to have dental work and my mouth feels like its on fire....... today!!! But it goes along with this week. And now because of my mouth I am in total misery. Maybe I should just take a few more days off. So worried I will just fall off the horse though. HHHhhhhhhuuuuuuu......0 -

If you rally feel like you need some time off, please do!! Listen to your body!! However, could you just cut waaaaay back. Short slow walks instead of a run. You will know when you can step it up again. Good Luck!! :flowerforyou:0 -

WOOO HOOO!!!! I have finally jumped over that plateau!!!! I also reached my first mini goal...to weigh less than 190!!! Next mini goal....weigh less than 185!!! These challenges are helping me stay motivated and active. The added push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, etc. are paying off!!! Thank you for the added push!!!!0 -

Good job! Your commitment is paying off!0 -
Can't begin to tell you how good I'm feeling about this challenge now... at the start it's always quite daunting, but I've been so committed, especially on the exercise front, running EVERY day, and then watching the cals and logging, just came really easy and naturally.
Really pleased I've joined again this month, and it doesn't even feel like a challenge anymore, it's soooo easy <smug alert>
And here we are three weeks later, so close! Well done everyone.

Wanted to rejoice seeing we've only got 10 days to go, but then I noticed we've lost a few more people along the way :sad:

Feeling proud of myself today. I went to my exercise class but there was a mixup because of bad weather. Only eight of us turned up, and class was then officially cancelled. No teacher, no music.
But-- one of the class members had done exercise videos from the youtube channel "XHIT," and liked them. So we played them on someone's phone and managed to work out. Fortunately the one woman sort of knew the routines, so we were all able to listen and also watch her. Picture eight middle-aged women in a circle around a smartphone, straining and puffing.It was weird, but we got in a halfway decent workout.0 -

It's sooooo much easier to just keep going than to fall off the proverbial wagon and then find a way to climb back up again. This challenge makes it easier to not fall off to begin with. Last night I squeezed in just a little bit of exercise to meet the minimum requirement and it changed my mood entirely. My mind was on the needs of others all day, but taking that little bit of time for me lifted my spirits. Thank you for making our goals achievable, and thank you ladies both for setting this up and keeping it going!0

Even though I did not make it all the way through January, I LOVE this group! It has really helped me keep on track. Even though I stumbled on Sunday, I got back on track. Hats off to all of you who hung in there and are still in the group. Hopefully, I will get back in February - looking forward to it!
Keep it up - you all are fantastic!0 -
