I am hoping to start measurements and see if that helps me get really motivated.... :happy: On a better Note kids are on WIC and they changed it to where the only bread and rice and milk you can get is the whole grain no sugar Lowfat stuff so this is a god send:heart: for me I wont have to feel so bad eating the white bread that is loaded with crap!!! :noway: Hubby's not so happy about the change but I was excited!!! :bigsmile: They are also giving Fresh Fruit and Veggie's!!!

    Are you kidding? 10lbs away in six weeks? Shoot, even if you only get eight, or six, that's still something right? One week of nada just means you have the logs to go back and figure out what went wrong. Did you eat more than usual? Skimp on workouts? Get a visit from Aunt Flo *if you know what I mean*....

    Bottom line is - you still got this :)

    NO weight change today except still up from sodium...so I may check again tomorrow to see it I have flushed most of it away. Oh, so my hubby sprung a wedding on my last might for Saturday... appearently the guy lost our address and instead of asking his niece (my friend) he just decided to say something about it to Nick who never told me til last night... wonderful! Oy! MEN!

    Ladies. I finally took a test to make sure Im not pregnant since im over 2 weeks late.. It came out negative.. Which is ok with me right now. I wanna wait atleast until after october. :) So I can have fun at my birthday thing. I think thats why Ive been slacking.. Afraid that I was pregnant.. hehe I know its just a cop out. I gotta get serious. I got a buddy that Ive been going to the gym with. :) Its been fun. Its a Blah type day today that I gotta make something out of it. Gonna hop on the wii fit to see if i lost any this week. EVen though its a day sooner..

    Lost 3.2lbs this week! That brings me down to 195.6! I have 15ish more lbs to lose for the challenge. If I keep on going like this I'll be SET! I'm so excited! In two more weeks I'll be under 190's which I haven't been in... in... four years! :D:D

    Well now that you know you're not pregnant you can get back up on the horse! Come on April, we're all here for you! I gained three pounds before I pulled off 7lbs in two weeks. We got this :)
  • Ok so I weighed in this morning and am down 2 lbs. So I am down to 254.8 lbs. I almost can't believe it, since i really didn't make time to exercise this week. however i did find that looking back i may have come close to putting my body in starvation mode because i was making sure to limit my calorie intake and forgot that the 1200 min to avoid starvation is in NET calories not just consumed.

    I need to fit in time to work out but I have been crazy stressed about my test tomorrow, which is the one that decides whether I get to begin teaching...in my own classroom...in january or not. Wish me luck!!

    Bru...so sorry to hear about the little guy. I hope you're doing ok and remember that we are always here for you.

    April...babe i LOVE the hair!

    Let's go last 5 pounds for H20!!!

    Funny you wrote this, because I too am about 2weeks late( and have slowed on the weight loss going from an average of 8lbs a month to 1.5lbs this month so far...)..but my period recently (June) regulated itself so I figure it may just be my body still adjusting as I was told years ago (without any testing) that I couldn't have kids, followed by my jerk of a (now ex)doctor that I was simply too fat!! Yea, my doc told that to me in front of my mom! Ugh! But I decided to brush it off and after 'trying without trying' for almost 2yrs and still nnothing, I figured, he may be right in the sense that it will be harder for me to have kids with the extra weight but without running tests he can't just know for sure that I cannot ever have kids. So that is part of the reason I started this journey, and to be all around healthy ;) Since losing 39lbs, I've starting having periods again and acting like rabbits...I figure I'll wait til Oct before taking a test. If it happens, great, if not, I'm ok with that right now :)

    You got your ticker all made out! Yay! Now you need to add it to your Signature. You need to paste your ticker code in there, so it always shows up when you post. Let me know if you need help...

    haha.. that sucks what your doctor said.. I wish you luck.. :) My periods come and go at weird times. It could be because ive been more active.. hehe.. IF i dont have my period in a couple more weeks ill take the second test.. :)

    Wow lots of baby talk/irregular periods recently! I got my period a week early, which was odd for me since I'm really regular (at least now I am) and on the pill. Before my current pill, I was getting double cycles...my natural cycle and then the blank pills that were a part of the pill pack. Odd, but whatever. Bru and April, I hope whatever you want the outcomes to be, comes true. :heart:

    Damn, is it week 4 ...or 5 already? I was hoping to have 10 lbs gone by now. Looks like I probably won't make it. Boo. :(

    Here's my weigh in: 333.4 lbs.
    Looks like I've only dropped 7.6 lbs since the start of the challenge. Suck. Oh well, progress is progress. Even slow progress. lol

    Update on Grandpa...finally.. He is having surgery in Tuesday to try to re-open the spinal column. Apparently there is some sort of scar tissue built up and it is reducing blood supply to his brain. Which would explain why he has fallen a million times in the last couple of months. Hopefully this will help the situation, please keep him in your thoughts. And as soon as I hear more I'll post another update. XoxoxoX Bru

    Stacy, you're doing a tremendous job! You've got such great determination!

    Bru, I'm so glad your grandpa went to the hospital. I hope the surgery goes well and that he feels better quickly.

    April, good for you for not letting the numbers discourage you. The fact that you can see the differences in the mirror is even better than the numbers on the scale! can you post a picture of the kitty? Maybe we can help name the little guy. And YAY for watching "Dear John"! Watch the credits...when you get to the casting department you may recognize a name pink_and_shiny name. ;)
