I do not foresee me making my Easter goal but to be under 160 to me is a great accomplishment.

I see everyone is doing great! Don't be hard on yourselves - we will all get to where we want to be sooner or later - trust me.

I am ready to stop because I am starting to look funny - my body is just adjusting how it wants and I am losing parts that I did not want to lose. Now I am ready to just tone up and stop stressing all of what the scale tells me! I like to actually have a "body" and I am losing the body that I liked - just wanted to get rid of tummy and thighs mainly - but I am not just losing them :grumble:

Have a great Easter weekend everyone and enjoy it!! :flowerforyou:

I didn't make my goal but I came pretty close and I am very proud of what I had done. Considering that I had gained 2 lbs in March and it took me 3 weeks to lose it and get back on track I would consider this a great success.

I'm officially 2 lbs away from my pre-baby weight (only took 3 years to lose it) and I'm looking forward to meeting with a plastic surgeon tomorrow to discuss having a tummy tuck to take care of the excess skin.

Best wishes to you all!

Sigh. . . I've maintained pretty well, but that's about all I can say. The good news is that bumping my calories up to only 1/2 lb per week didn't cause me to gain weight (in the long term). Unfortunately 1 lb in almost 5 months isn't exactly what I was hoping for! I don't think that me neglecting to log for the last several days helped any. It's been a rough few weeks at work, and at home. I've just got to get back to it. My baby sister is getting married Labor Day weekend, so I have all summer to get toned and sexy. My MIL and I are making my dress to wear, and it's gonna be GREAT! (Can't beat a $1 pattern and $2/yd fabric for a grand total of $8!)

I will be starting up another challenge in just a little bit. Once it's all up and posted, I'll put a link in here so everyone can join me for my Labor Day push!
