glad to see everyone's weigh in this week. you all are doing great! mine was a little off due to surgery (up 10+ pounds). lol.

if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO FIND A CAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN AND DONATE $5. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun knowing that you helped make a difference!

i can still see the extra water weight (in my face, hands and the stomach area) from the surgery so i think i should be back on track next week for the 121s. i am hoping to clear the 120 mark by easter, but that might be too much to expect.

great job on the losses everyone!

Started a Biggest Loser competition today. I've only got 7 pounds to get to my Happy Weight of 148 and this BL contest is only 7 weeks long (Ends 10 June-Last day of school). Losing only seven pounds won't win the competion but the competition will help stay accountable. Also, this close to my "Happy Weight" I'm not sure I can lose 7 pounds in 7 weeks. However, you can never get enough motivation. Between BL and MFP I will have lots of people to help me stay motivated. Thanks all of you MFPers for supporting healthy lifestyles. I -You

GAH! I just don't know. I'm irritated.

It is very difficult to lose weight so close to your goal weight and way too easy to gain it. Hang in there - it may come slow but it will come off if you continue doing the right things.

Thanks stormy! I know it's just hard to stay motivated when that happens. But I wanted to let everyone know I'm so proud of myself because starting sunday I have 7 days of food planned out so I am bound to do better by easter....however I am taking a slight mental break and not logging until sunday. I think its necessary sometimes.

janna674

I have had a tough week...TOM ..and i have had many eating problems..late night tasty eating problems..so I have added a 1 hour walk into my daily routine with a bunch of people in my town, we all talk on facebook. It was fantastic, being able to see all my old friends and being able to bring my daughter with me. There was 20 of us ...maybe the group will get bigger

I doubled down on my Saturday workout. I'm still sore today from accumulated fatigue I think However, it is a good sore if you know what I mean. Anxious to see how it will affect Wednesday's weigh-in. My guess is -good news is coming:laugh:

stormy you are an inspiration!

i doubled my exercise this weekend too, but that means i only walked a mile. humbling to go from RUNNING nine miles to barely WALKING one. oh well, i get to build up my strength all over again.
