    Good job Missyfit!!

    AFM got on the scale this morning and it didnt turn on. I asked my husband when the last time he weighed himself was and said yesterday and then the scale died. He failed to tell me last night so I guess I will go buy a new one and let you ladies know what i am at tomorrow. Grrrr i wanted to know today!!!

    Also joined a group that has me walking/running 15 miles a week! This is a perfect goal because if I walk/run 5 days a week I should meet this goal and that way I dont have an excuse to try to get out of a run!

    ha...don't you LOVE when the hubs forgets to tell you something "important"?? At least it gave you another day to lose some more right?!? Run babay ruuuunnn!!

    hey guys! glad to hear you're all doing well. i've been working out with a friend who is pretty much a fitness genius and i'm feeling better, but not sure if the scale will react much this sunday (i'm pretty sore and i KNOW i'm building muscle, so i might be retaining some water... we'll see!). i'm still gonna weigh myself but i'm gonna put a little more stock into my measurements. anyway, my goals for this week have been/will be to drink LOTS of water and to get enough protein in for muscle recovery.
    i'll check in again when i weigh!

    wow! You got a fitness genius friend! I wish I had one...Keep it up! It'll come off :-)

    I saw the pics! WOW!! I can defintely see a difference in the waist and arms and legs...all over! Looking more toned than fluffy. Keep it up! Werk yer butt off!

    Everyone is doing a fantastic job. It has been a bit rough this week for me. TOM , eating and drinking wise. I also picked up extra shifts at my second job so I did not get to work out as much as needed. I am happy to say that by my Thur weigh ins it seems like a lot of bloating and water weight has gone back away..*phew* But a question for everyone.

    How much weight on average do you gain during TOM??

    I gained 4 lbs in 2 days! I was so upset because it takes me a whole month to loose 4lbs! Is this normal?! At least it came back off again, but now that I weigh myself regular and eat healthy I felt like complete crap for 3 days and couldn't even wear some clothes I was just starting to fit back into.

    I hate TOM! I can gain about 3-5 lbs but it goes away. I bloat but take pamprin for that, it makes the bloatedness stay away. I think all women except the perky ones feel like crap when Tom comes visiting with Aunt Flo ::laughs::

    Yayayay! Awesome. Just don't weigh yourself too much like me :)

    As for my TOM, I usually gain like 4 lbs ish. Just drink tonnnnsss of water. Like more than normal. It's not a permanent gain.

    I did my progress pics yesterday, I'm going to post for you guys :) Here they are! (I had to do some censoring on Day 1 due to me only having a thong! Hhahah :D)

    I can def see a difference in my back and tummy. :)

    I will join! I am 5'7 and have lost 25lbs so far, but have another 25-30 left. I have been stuck at 188/187 for 3 weeks. I took last week off (still counted but was over most days), went up to 189, but back down to 188. I try and work out 2 times a week (but its been hard this summer, working like crazy). Anyone got any tips. The first 15 came off SO quick.... and now I am stuck.

    I haven't weighted this weight since 2006/2007 but I want to be down at least another 25lbs. I would LOVE to be 50lbs less, but its hard work..... HELP!

    Hi ladies, My name is Christina, I am 26, 5'7", and about 160 pounds. I want to lose 30 pounds by March of next year because I am getting married to the love of my life. I started at 178, got down to 153, but sadly gained 7 pounds over the summer. I've been really bad with my diet and have not been going to the gym. I feel like finding this group that describes my goal perfectly is a sign. You've inspired me to get back on it !!! :) Looking forward to chatting with you ladies.

    Hi everyone! My name is Asylin. I'm a married 28 year old with one son, and although I have a great support system at home I would love to be part of this group to get support from people going through the same thing as me. I am 5'7" and currently weigh 182. My goal weight is 130. I don't really have a certain event or time I would like to lose the weight by, but if I had to choose I would say maybe December 20th because that is my son's 5th birthday and he's the reason I'm doing this. I only started one week ago today and have lost 3 pounds so far. I'm extremely excited about getting healthy again, and I hope everyone (including myself) acheives their goal!!

    It's nice to meet you ladies! There should be intros on the first page or so if you're interested in me or any of the other girls. I believe there are only about 4 of us right now, so it's nice to have a bigger support system! I usually weigh in on Wednesdays so I will let you know my progress as of then, and I will also come up with a weekly challenge for us! Glad to have you here! :)
