    Still better than I expected, I really thought I would have gained this week, there was a lot of eating out, and not eating out at the best places. But no gaining, and no losing. So broke even, I can still make this goal though, I have already lost 4lbs this month. So time to step it up this week, my goal for this week, is to find the time somehow to burn at least 2500 calories. Its a super busy week, so it will be a challange, oh and no eating out.

    May 2 - 133
    May 9 - 131
    May 16- 129
    May 23- 129

    Everyone is doing great! I'm in for a June challenge! June is going to be tough, because my daughter has 3 softball tournaments and consession stands are a real weakness of mine. Especially when you are at the ball fields all day for 2 days. But I am going to bring healthy snacks and work on getting exercise in between games. No reason why I can't run a bit too! Good luck to everyone.

    May 1 ~ 115
    May 9 ~ 114
    May 16 ~ 113
    May 23 ~ 112

    I have exercise plenty but my reality is that I have in fact gone over my calories several times this past week. My goal for Monday-Friday is to remain at my calories or even better go 200 less calories. Linscave, don't worry keep changing things a bit and you will achieve better results. Come on everyone don't give up, let's knock those 5 lbs off if not at least a couple. Keep up the good work. Best Rosie

    Check in 5/01: 213
    WK #1 5/08: 209
    WK #2 5/15: 207
    WK #3 5/22: 209
    WK #4 5/29: ?
    Final weight 5/31: ??

    Gained 2lbs;

    I got sun burnt on Friday and am drinking way more water than I'm use to. I think I'm retaining most of it...I'm hoping the sunburn will ease off and I'll get the scale going in the right direction!

    I'm in for a June challenge as well!!

    = loss of 3.8 lbs

    I'm thrilled to see an actual loss for the first time in over two weeks! It's just been going up and down between 196 and 197 this whole time. Maybe I will reach the 5 lbs after all!

    Didn't lose anything last week so I'm still at 1.6 loss for the month. :cry: It's nobody's fault but my own. I've only been staying on the program 50% of the time. I know I can do this I just don't know why I'm not putting much effort into it lately. How can I want something so bad but not do what it takes to get it?? :mad: :mad: SO FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF. ugggghhhh!

    Congrats to all you guys that are doing such a great job. And for those that are in the boat with me...we have to keep at and not give up. We're not asking our body to do something impossible.

    Have a great week everyone. :flowerforyou:

    Well everyone I change my weigh-in day from sunday to monday because sundays im getting up at 6 am after only 6 hours of sleep and didn't think the scale would be accurate. WELL NOW I just keep forgetting. Monday Is my first day off after working doubles alll day long and sleeping for only 6 hours for 3 nights in a row:yawn: so now Mondays kick my butt!!!!!!!!!!:yawn:

    Today I woke up to my son watching cartoons and my sister saying hey im here to wash laundry just so you know.... woke up again an hour later and she had gotten my baby up and fed both of my kids breakfast. So ya im sooooo tired today. im just about to do my english homework and then cook dinner!

    Forgot to weigh in today so ill see you in the morning with my weigh in!
