    Jan 3rd: 262 lbs
    10th: 251 lbs (-11!!!)
    17th: 251 lbs (no change)
    24th: 246 lbs (-5!!!)
    31st: 244 lbs (-2)
    Feb 7th: 242.5 lbs (-1.5)
    Feb 14th: 240 lbs (-2.5!!!)
    Feb 21st: 238 lbs (-2)

    Well I'm staying consistent, which is making me happy!!! I've decided to cut out diet soda this week, I know it should be easy and that there is absolutely no nutritional value to drinking it, but I just enjoy it so much. A can a day is too much, especially since it does make me crave junk...lets face it no one wants fresh fruits and veggies with a glass of coke, now pizza and chips...you know what I mean. So here's hoping that now I have posted it, I will be able to follow through!

    Keep reaching for your goals everyone!

    I am not exactly kicking *kitten* and taking names in this challenge. It's my lady time as well as midterms--I am starving and stressed and don't give a damn about resisting. Things should be better next week.

    I hit my mini goal of 150 for the month! Super excited! I also just started P90X, so I think March is going to be a great month. If I don't lose my goal of 5 lbs I'm sure I will still lose inches and that is what matters to me the most.
    Keep up the good work everyone!!

    Well, I did some re-evaluating. I have had my deficit set to lose 1lb a week. I've upped it to 1/2 lb per week. I know that I haven't met my "goal" yet, but I am so close that if I workout really hard, strip off every ounce of clothing, use the bathroom, and inhale, I could PROBABLY weigh in at goal. Soooo, I am working towards maintenance now. I'll spend about a month or so at 1/2 lb, and assuming I don't gain any weight back, I'll bump it up to maintenance after that. Who knows, maybe that little extra will be enough to shock my system into losing the last couple! Either way, I'm happy.

    Now to head to Zumba! Had to skip it all last week because of meetings, etc. But I'm back at it this week!

    I had a bad weekend that led to a bad weigh-in today. However, looking at my progress this far, I'm pround that I have officially lost 10 lbs (exactly) since starting the challenge on Jan 3rd.

    Tomorrow I take my 1st of the Month pictures and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress thus far. :)

    ::peeks head into thread and waves meekly::

    Hi guys - I'm SO sorry I disappeared. :frown: I was having trouble keeping up with everything and this kinda dropped off my radar. The longer it went, the more embarrassed I got, which made me stay away. But... I'm still here. Unless someone else has taken over chart-duty, I'm happy to post an updated chart tomorrow evening. I don't have time to make one for all the weeks I missed, but I'll do one as of this week's weigh-in.

    I sort of faltered there for a few weeks in mid-February, but I'm back on track and 8 lbs away from the goal I set for the end of this challenge. I've lost 12 lbs so far this year! :smile:

    I had a sodium filled weekend and TOM came a week early. I've been stuck in a rut apparently. I went and got my skinny on at the gym for almost 2 hours this afternoon. It felt great! Plus I kicked sodiums *kitten* the last 2 days. So I'm SURE the scale will sigh in relief the next time I step on it. I'm not updating my ticker unless it screams at me again. So for a few more days I'll leave it and then change it if need be. Hopefully change will be in the loss column. :drinker:

    I also reset my goals for the Easter Challenge. My goal was to be at 175 but that would be over 25 lbs lost from now till then. I would love to see that, but realistically? I'm not on the Biggest Loser, so I don't see that happening! So I'm shooting for 185 lbs by Easter.

    Hi! Sorry I haven't checked in for a couple weeks but I'm back.

    Weigh in weeks:

    Jan 3rd: 177.8 lbs
    10th: 174.8 (down 3 lbs)
    17th: 171.0 (down another 3.8 lbs)
    24th: 170.0 (down another 1 lb)
    31st: 170.0 flat
    Feb 7th: 168.4 (down 1.6 lbs)
    Feb 14th: 166.6 (down 1.8 lbs)
    Feb 21st: 166.6 (flat)
    Feb 28th: 165.6 (down 1 lb)
    Mar 7th: 160.0 (down 5.6 lbs)

    I plateaued for a while. For some reason this last week, my body decided to let go of what it was holding onto. At the end of the day, if calories eaten is less than calories burned we'll lose weight. I kept telling myself that but when it wouldn't come off even though I was meeting my net calorie targets, I got really discouraged. Of course after this big week I was able to raid the boxes in my closet and got to donate my larger clothes and can fit into a lot of my older, smaller clothes so that renewed my motivation at just the right time.
