    Weigh in for 4/15 162.2 :(
    GW for challenge: 150

    Rested up for ms 150 this weekend (150 miles on a bike in 2 days) so I didn't get my cardio in this week. Back at it next week. Hopefully 2 days on a bike will knock off a pound :)

    I'm happy to say I lost 2 lbs. since my last weigh in and that was being on vacation in Florida. I know I didn't eat as well as I could have but we did a lot of walking. Since Wednesday I've gotten my eating back on track and now I need to work on my exercising.

    It was great to see all of the losses last week. WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!

    Random question of the day: What made you decide to lose weight?


    CW: 180

    I knew I needed to, but it really as for my nieces wedding in April 2010. I started in January 2010. Didn't do as well as I wanted to, so I continued on. I'm still going.

    Random question of the day: What made you decide to lose weight?

    Two things that happened concurrently, I was denied individual health insurance because I was considered morbidly obese...WOW...I didn't realize a size 18 was morbidly obese. Also, I went to Miami with my friends and I was so uncomfortable in my swimsuit, but they were just carefree. That month I joined MFP, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made!

    what made me want to lose weight?? I gained some a few years ago, and then some with each kid. So obviously I want that to be gone. But more so I want to get my binge eating disorder under control before I get full blown diabetes. I knew it would happen one day, but one day is so far away. I ended up with undiagnosed 3rd trimester gestational diabetes and my baby suffered for it after he was born. He is a healthy 4 months now, but "one day" doesn't seem so abstract anymore!

    Random question of the day: What made you decide to lose weight?
    being 227 when I went into labor was a huge wake up call. I only gained 5 while pregnant but it made me realized, I never want to see the 200's again. I don't want to be the unhealthy mom, i don't want to be the fat mom and I don't want to end up like my own mom who has a multitude of health problems and always feels sick or in pain. I want to run and play with my daughter. right now, I am so close yet so far from my goal but like they say, slow but steady wins the race.

    Random question of the day: What made you decide to lose weight?

    Because I couldn't fit into anything and had to go to double digit pant size for the first time in my life. I had a baby 2 years ago and figured it was about time to get rid of the baby weight. And teach my daughter how to live a healthy lifestyle and teach her how important exercise is.

    Question of the week - I have done perfectly the last 2 weeks, upped my workouts, watched every little thing I put into my mouth, upped my calories, and started strength training and haven't lost one oz. After many hours of research I guess I am in a plateau (i'm on week 11) so I just keep trucking along but I don't know what else to do so any advice is welcome : )

    :smile: Weigh in today......238.3 for a loss of 2 pounds this week. I am pretty much right on track on losing 2 pounds per week. :bigsmile: Which is really good since I had a very difficult week(Tom and lots of cravings) :huh: I have to drink more water and start exercising. :drinker: This week I celebrated saying goodbye forever to the 240's and hello to the 230's and losing 40 pounds in 100 days with MFP. So I just have to hang in there, it's a long journey but we will all get there. Good job everyone!

    Random question: What made you lose weight?

    In November for my birthday, my sil invited hubby & I to go to St Thomas ...spur of the moment. I was at my heav iest ever, even more than when I was 9 months pregnant. We were in bathing suits everyday. My sil is a size zero
    My other sil is 5'9" and wears a size six and my niece is 18. They always wanted to line up for pictures. I kept trying to hide under a sarong?
    After Christmas, my mom got me an android. I found the MFP app shortly after and I'm so glad I did.
