    Starting weight: 210.8

    12/17 - 211.2 (+) -- sodium from yesterday, I'm hoping -- ugh!
    12/24 - 211.2 -- I guess better than gaining MORE?
    12/31 - 210.8 (-)
    1/7- 209.4 (-) -- yay, progress!
    1/14 - 210.0 (+)

    goal weight: 199

    Down .8 in the last 5 weeks... I am getting *so* frustrated. If I only had a few pounds to go (or even 20 or 30 pounds) this would be okay. But with at least 80 pounds to go I am feeling like I am never going to get to my goal weight or even anywhere near it!

    it's not too late to join! 15 might be too high, but 5-8 is definitely do-able! :)

    ^ I like!!

    Will be doing my "virtual shopping" sometime this weekend. I already have a real target outfit though - bought a dress one size too small (it was such a great deal). The zipper only goes up half way... it looks great but it doesn't zip up! We'll see how it goes!

    Weight is still on track this morning! yay!

    OMG WOW!!! :noway: You lost more than 11 pounds in 2 weeks? I mean, good for you, but is that okay for you? Are you doing this the right way? (Hope you're not offended by my questions - just really hope this weight loss sticks and they say more than 2 lbs a week is iffy in that regard!) All the best and keep up the success! :flowerforyou:

    Yea.. It's been crazy.. I think a lot of it has to do with better eating habits.. Healthier food choices.. And the fact I'm still breastfeeding.. I haven't reached my calorie goal yet.. But it's not that I'm trying to eat that few... And yesterday was a bad eating day for me.. But I need to go shopping.. I haven't gone grocery shopping since this lifestyle change.. So I've been trying to manage with what I've had on hand. In other words, I'm trying to do it the right way!!!

    Oh you're breastfeeding! Have you noted that in your MFP goals? I'm not 100% sure but I think you're supposed to eat even more! Apparantly breastfeeding will burn mega calories and allow fast weight loss! (good for you! hee hee)

    Congrats on your baby! I'm "pre-heating my oven" for a 2011 conception myself fingers crossed! :happy:

    Good luck with the grocery shopping! Protein and fibre! Get good dense bread and healthy meats and just pile up a big 'ol sandwich for a quick meal that can be about 500 calories if you make it right! (12 grain bread can be about 150 cals per slice alone depending on the brand!)
