    Hi y'all! I was surprised to see that I lost another pound this past week. I weighed in today and was expecting to have gained back those 2 pounds that I had lost the week before. So, I am very happy.

    I weigh in on Thursdays and will be unable to weigh in on Labor Day, and unfortunately, this week I won't have the scale to weigh in until next Thursday (otherwise I would just do an extra weigh in on Labor Day). I was trying to decide whether to make today's weigh in the Labor Day weigh in or wait until next Thursday and let that be the definitive Labor Day weight...

    Today's weight = 147.6 lbs. So, I have 1 more pound to lose in order to meet my Labor Day goal.

    Weigh in day- Thursday
    Starting Weight-150.6
    Goal for Labor Day (9/6/11)- 146.6
    Goal for Halloween (10/31/11)-138.6
    Goal for Thanksgiving (11/24/11)-135.6
    Goal for Christmas (12/25/11)-131.6
    Final Challenge Goal for New Years (1/1/12)- 130.6

    made my labor day goal..now im working for my birthday (oct 22) and halloween

    how did everyone do for their labor day goal?
  • Sorry to post so late. But I didn't meet my new Labor Day goal :,(
    Actually, I gained another lb...
    That stinks. But I guess my focus now is on Halloween.
    I may have pushed myself too hard too fast with eating and exercising.

    Although, my boyfriend talked me into buying a new pair of jeans. Except, he had me get them at a size 16 (which I am not at yet). He told me it could help motivate me. I think it might. Because I tried them on just to see where I was at, I am pretty gosh darn close!! That was exciting. Just a couple more inches and they would fit comfortably (they are way too tight right now lmao)
    Just wanted to share a what I thought was better news than the gaining of a pound :P

    I'm so happy for everyone that's been able to reach their goals. I haven't been able to reach my Labor Day goal which is really frustrating but I have to remember it's not about the number on the scale. I've been eating healthy and working out 6 days a week.

    I've been improving on my stamina and endurance and I feel as though I'm more toned...

    Oh well, only time will tell and I still have until Monday to lose a couple more pounds!

    Keep working hard everyone!


    I have a really good feeling that I am going to log on Monday morning and the first post will be from you saying "I REACHED MY LABOR DAY GOAL". You can do it. As long as you are feeling healthly and looking healthy, the scale will have no other choice but to go down. Good luck

    Unfortunately I didn't reach the goal! :( But I won't let the darn evil scale deter me because I went wedding dress shopping for the LAST time and I looked way more fit this time around. :)

    My hope is to lose 8lbs by my fiance's birthday which is October 6th.

    I hope everyone is doing well!

    Well I didn't make my Labor Day goal (super sad face). I missed it by 9lbs, BUT that's okay. I can deal with it as long as the scale continues to go down and not up. I'm going to see where I end up on the next goal date (Halloween) then may have to re-adjust my goals just a bit. Still Motivated!!!

    I didn't make my Labor Day goal, either. Going out of town the last few days added some weight. Very stressful, etc. Oh well, no more excuses!

    Hi all!

    I was only a half pound away from my Labor Day goal, so I'm happy!

    Today I bought a new pair of jeans and I dropped a size! Even though the scale isn't moving very much, my body is changing!
  • Hello everyone. How is everyone doing?

    This weekend was my hubby birthday weekend. I tried so hard to eat right. Did good on Friday night, Saturday had Japanese food (yummy), and on Sunday (his bday) he wanted football food. So I made quesadillas, devil eggs, fried (yes fried) chicken wings, corn on the cob, and sweet tea. I had 2 devil eggs halves, 1/2 quesadilla, 2 wings, 1/2 a corn on the cob, and a glass of sweet tea. Instead of getting a huge cake and it staying in the house calling my name, I made cinnamon rolls instead and had 1 small roll. I was very proud of myself. Still had controll and enjoyed his bday. Got on the scale this morning a little nervous but I did mange to lose 0.6 lbs taking me back to 185, my original labor day goal. Woo Hoo!
  • Is the group still open> if so I want to be in

    Yes, you are welcome to join. Please post your goals.
  • Sorry for not being here for a while. I hope everyone is doing great!!!
    The past two weeks I have gained 2lbs. Which totally discouraged me. Even though I didn't stop exercising or watching what I eat, I just felt like giving up so badly. I'm over it cause it's just two pounds. But then on Sunday, I went to a REC Reunion (former employee of the post office I used to work at put together a reunion :D ) and saw someone who asked if I was "expecting". I said "No! I'm just fat" *lol'ed* That was depressing. But I have the most wonderful boyfriend who spent the rest of the day just getting my mind off of what was said and on to how much of my hard work was paying off. I got over that too, lol. I haven't lost much, but its a loss anyways. What a bad weekend!! Just full of discouragement and wanting to give up, haha.
    Anyways, back on track and working hard. I started that one video that has that one chick from the biggest loser. Idk, but it sure is hard, but I am liking it so far. I can't wait to see the results from this.

    @gettingthin03: Congrats on the loss!! That is awesome!! You are doing so great! :)

    Well the labor day weekend and back to school chaos really threw my routine out the window. Lost some motivation with the healthy eating and excercise but I'm slowing pushing myself back into it. I need to work on getting in my fruits and veggies and getting back to 5 days a week for the excercise. I made my Labor Day goal though!!! I need to kick it up though for Halloween.

    What's motivating me right now...we bought a boat and next season I want to be more comfortable in a swimsuit!!

    Thank you!! I'm feeling better about things now. :)

    Yup, that's what it is! It's kinda tough :P. My legs are still sore from when I started!! Lol. Except I can walk a little better now. Yesterday was bad, I couldn't walk, and I just laughed at myself. Lol.

    Awww Deb. Hang in there sweetie. It will be alright. Those 2 lbs will be gone before you know it. Congrats on not giving up and on having a support BF. Support really does make a difference.

    Are you staring on the 30 day shred dvd with Jillan Michaels? I got it. Started and did 2 days and was so as heck. Went out of town with my job and gave up on it. Plan to start back this week because I am losing weight but it is not showing at all. I would rather see and feel my loss. I heard this dvd will help you lose ton of inches.

    Best of luck to you and hang in there. You (WE) can do it!!
