    My favorite fruity friends... I never in a million years saw this day coming, but it has... I must leave this challenge... some of you may have seen my status... if not, well, im pregnant! My husband and I are thrilled, but quite shocked! It took us 18 cycles of hard-core trying in order to conceive our son. 2 months ago I went off my birth control and we were going to start trying for #2 in December. Well, apparently God had plans for us a bit sooner! So, I will still be hanging out around MFP to support you all in this awesome journey. And so that I have a place to come 9 months from now when I need to lose the baby weight! The bad news in all of this joy is that I must leave the challenge... with my previous miscarriage I cannot take the risk of over-doing my physical activity. And obviously, I don't need to be intentionally losing weight! So, keep in touch, and I wish you all much success!

    GO BLUE BERRIES!

    Congratulations! That really is wonderful news! It's a shame to lose you from the challenge but as Cheri said, there is no better reason! :D

    Thank you all so much for your support! I'll keep checking in on you all, if you don't mind, just so I can cheer you on and see your progress! I want this for you all so badly!!
  • So happy for you Ashlee!!! Congratulations! Please feel free to check in with all of us and update us on the pregnancy too!

    CONGRATULATIONS to the RED APPLES and PAULAHHHH for being our weekly winners! Awesome job ladies!

    Now for some housekeeping: we need to find a replacement for Ashlee and I also think we might need one for Nika: I haven't heard anything from her in a while, although I see that she logs in here and there. She hasn't updated her spreadsheet weight in two weeks. Anyone know of some interested people? Let me know or have them message me! Or if you think it's too late to add people, I can put myself in their places.

    I sent both Jaye & Nika a message, and it said they both logged in today.. So IDK!!!

    YAY Apples! Congrats ladies!!!

    Can you believe that next week's weigh-in will be the 1/2 way point? Should we do a total weight loss for that, to see how much has been lost so far in weight & not percentage? IDK if that makes sense, but it did when it was formulating in my brain! HAHHA

    I DONT THINK IT IS TOO LATE TO ADD PEOPLE I THINK ADDING PEOPLE IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN HAVING TO REPLACE THE ONES WHO HAVE LEFT WITH YOUR WEIGHT...... GIVE OTHER PEOPLE A CHANCE TO BENEFIT FROM WHAT WE ARE :)

    I agree! This group is a really great support system, and other people should benefit!

    maybe you can just add another post ross tell them about the challenge and say you will contact people interested individually and then keep them on a waiting list in case (god forbid) we lose another!

    Morning all! Hope everyone is well!

    I've lost 3lbs this week! I'm thrilled. It's my biggest loss in months. Could someone please update the spreadsheet to 141lbs for me please (I'm on my phone and can't open the page).

    I hope everyone else is successful today. I'll log back later to see how you're all getting on!

    Morning everyone and congats on the weight loss so far - 3lbs is amazing!!

    And of course - congratulations on the pregnancy!! As you can see we're all thrilled for you!! :-D

    Unfortunately, I have gained this week and I'm back up to 156lb. A sprained ankle and not much exercising has really not agreed with me. And of course what I failed to do was change my eating to reflect not exercising! Ah well, I went for a 3 mile run yesterday and everything was fine, so I am back in the game as of NOW!

    If someone could update my weight that'd be awesome, otherwise I'll do it when I get home tonight.

    Sorry to let you down lovely bananas :-(

    Have a great thursday everyone!

    Cathy

    Congrats to everyone so far who logged a loss! Woohoo! I personally only lost less than a pound, but it feels good to be 135.
    Just a heads up, I'll be on vacation next week and won't have access to a computer to log my weight, so I'll just log it as no change for now and update it on Sunday, Oct. 16 when I get back.

    Good luck next week!!

    Congrats to everyone's successes this past week. Unfortunately, I'm up. Way up. Higher than I started. :blushing: I've just been super stressed out and it shows in my eating and my lack of exercise. I'm really sorry I let you down again Blue Berries.... :cry:

    A friend has pushed me to go to Zumba tonight after work (I haven't gone in about 3 weeks...) so I'm sure that'll help. I know I'm in a funk and if I can just exercise my way out of it, I can get back to being awesome. :ohwell: I also seriously need to get back to tracking EVERYTHING again, it was tedious but it helped...

    Congrats to everyone who lost this week!! I didn't lose as much as I did last week, but I'm down 1.7 lbs :D

    If you didn't lose or you gained, keep in mind that the fact that you're taking the journey to a better lifestyle is more of an achievement that most ppl don't like to work towards.. On that note, CONGRATS to you gals!! <3

    Remember, we're all here if someone needs some encouragement.


    As for Nika & Jaye... Jaye has been sick & Nika has left the challenge.

    misslouisee is on vacation and hasn't logged on in a week... should we just update her weight as unchanged?
  • paulahhhh
    paulahhhh Posts: 283
    Jaye did say she didn't want to leave the challenge. From what gathered, she's just sick. As for Nika, she feels bad that she won't be logging much... And she'd rather leave, than to make our team (Peaches) not do well. You know?

    hey hey! I'm back! So SORRY for lack of communication for the week, I was away but also had no internet at any point to even pop a message on. I haven't weighed in yet, I will do this later today and update, I PROMISE :) but I'm definitely not leaving. I just have to see the damage from the holiday and then deal with losing whatever I've put on (cos I'm pretty sure I've put on).

    Glad to be back though guys :)

    Ok, I've put my weight in, I'm usually quicker than that, honest!

    Only put on 3/4lb on holiday which really isn't as bad as I thought, sorry for the gain but will lose next week :)

    If Jaye is staying, perhaps we should just update her weight as no change this week?


    And don't worry about not logging your weight, misslouise. We knew you'd be on vacation. Did you have a nice time?
