    Charris, you have lost 10%. Wow!! Congratulations!
    I have lost 5 ponds in total now. THis week is going to be a good one for me. I got a membership at the YMCA here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was -10 last night and I wennt to a sweat healing lodge. I cant tell you how much it helps me. Its amazing. Congrats on the weight lose this week everybody. Keep up the good work. I know its hard during the Holiday Season but, stick to it.

    BillyBed thank you for all the work you are doing. If you want I can send you a few dollars to put towards the prizes. Send me an email. Take care everybody. Stay Strong.
  • Hi peeps,

    I have only just joined MFP (day 3 now) and wondered if you would mind if I joined in your 50lb challenge for June 2011. I have a lot more to loose but mini goals do help me.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I am not doing so good. I didn't lose anything last week, and am set up to not lose again this week. I know that TOM is coming up, but this is so frustrating. I HAVE TO lose this weight. I was 125 before I got pregnant...I don't even want to necessarily get back down that low but need to drop 50 pounds. I'm just now able to get back to exercising (only walking, can do strength training) due to severe tendonitis in my ankle, so hoping that will help get me losing again.

    I here ya!! I was doing great this week and ate so much today i threw up. Thats never happened to me and I am scared. Lets try and stay positive. We can do this! I was so upset at myself but, o know that being upset will only snowball into more food.
  • WEIGH IN: 205.0
    So, I totally gained back the 2.2 lbs I lost last week. :sad: I know why... I didn't exercise and I overate. I suppose it's good for me to know how easily the weight comes back. It's just really hard with so many Christmas parties!! Only another 2 weeks to go before all the parties are over. I've made a few healthy meals and stuck them in the freezer so that I don't have to think about them. And I WILL make time for exercise, no matter how busy this week is.
    Congrats to everyone who managed to maintain or lose this week! It's a hard time of year to do it...

    I had the flu this week...no appetite and no excercise....in the end I lost 1 pound
    So I'm 180 now
  • I am on the cusp of my all-time-lowest-adult-weight and not surprisingly, have hit a plateau (or so it seems at the moment). I am hoping its a "mini-plateau" and not a PLATEAU (which, for me, usually last about 3 weeks). Regardless, i am forging forward, but not looking for a big loss tomorrow. Any loss will amaze me :) Status quo i am cool with. A small gain wouldn't surprise me. It is what it is, right?

    Just a reminder to those who weigh in on Mondays, drink your water today! It makes a difference!!!!!!

    How does this work by the way? Do I need to post my starting weight or do I email someone?

    Im not sure if anybody got back to you in regards to the challenge. Ill help ya out. Post your starting weight on this topic. look for BillyBed here and add him as a friend or send him an email and he will add you to the challenge spreadsheet. He is awesome and great for motivational support.
  • Yay! 178.5! Thats a loss of 1 lb and 49.5lbs overall since last December! (mostly since this past summer though)

    I want to lose 0.5+ lbs before saturday so i can make my goal of 50 by Christmas... I will report back if i get there!

    After that, my next mini-goal is 174.0 by January 9th (my 40th birthday). It will get me into the healthy bmi range for the first time since high school! Not sure if i can pull off a 4 lb loss in 2-3 weeks at this point in the game, but its worth shooting for anyways :)

    That said, if there were a pile of frosted sugar cookies in front of me, i could do some SERIOUS damage! HA!

    I am 194.9 today. I lost .4 lbs. So happy because I thought I gained.
  • Good morning everyone. Sorry I've been MIA, been sick. But I'm happy to report that I'm down to 228.4. Hope everyone had a good week and good luck this week. :flowerforyou:
  • 245 here this morning, but I had a Birthday Party and Christmas Party yesterday. Didn't do too bad, but no that I was down on Thursday (my normal weigh in day). But today was 245 so we will go with that.

    New week and new challenges ! ! !

    Merry Christmas Posh!

    I had a loss of 0.4 lbs. Of course I didn't exercise or watch my eating last week, so that's a pleasant surprise. Any week that is a loss is a good week as far as I'm concerned :o)

    Well heck! The scale didn't move again this week. :ohwell: At least it didn't go up.
    I have been really light on any kind of exercise. I am sure that is why I have just maintained. Hopefully I will be back on track this week.

    I'm aiming for 45 pounds by June 18th (my wedding), so this is definately my forum. How is everyone doing with their progress? I wish I was losing a bit faster. 10 pounds in the last two months for me. I get measured in a week, so I'll let you know how it goes then.

  • well...unfortunately i gained weight :explode: so now im at 237.2...suppose its only half a pound :sad: worked so hard for that pound!!! oh well i have to take my own advice and try harder this week...

    well no loss/gain this week. So I am still at 157. I am ok with that. I was doing really well this week with working out, but my food choices could have been better. I also get thrown off track during the weekend. Having my husband home messes up my routine.I dont know whats going to happen these next 3 weeks. his schedule changed for the holidays and he will be home alot more during the week. I hope i can just get over it and continue with my set schedule and plans.

    So my weigh in for this week has me at 263.8 so down 1.8 lbs. I'm I really surprised at that because of all of the Christmas parties that I have over indulged at but maybe I wasn't as bad as I thought I was. :smile: Hopefully this trend continues.

    Congrats to all who have lost this week and here's to another great week to everyone!
  • I lost 0.6 lbs which is good considering I had a REALLY bad calorie weekend! :smile:

    I am so mad yesterday i went on the scale and it said 178 which is pretty good right now, but today it says 182 with would be a 1 pound gain from being 181. I'm not even sure i believe it because my weight fluctuates so much. I think tommorrew it will say 178. I just ate a lot of Chinese food and soda and i having been reporting to myfitnesspal. I only reason i signed it because i know today is weigh in. With exercise it been different because instead of swim practice I've had 3 swim meets last week. I suppose I'll do better next week.

    Weight:182

    Chinese food is loaded with sodium so your weight gain is probably water. Don't worry about it. You cannot gain 3 pounds of fat in a day.
  • Okay I'm finally back.

    I had my son last Tuesday. He just came home from the NICU today.

    It's been a rough week.

    Happy to be back with you all again though. Hopefully I can catch up. :smile:
