**Update**
I still need someone to help me with the Google page. Please give me an e-mail address if you're interested.
Ok, so I kind of fell off the bandwagon for a few days with TOM here and all. TOM forced me to eat chocolate and sleep all day, so I didn't get much accomplished. I'm back on track today and going hard this week. Today I went to Zumba then after class I went to the gym to arc train. My legs are killing me! I won't dare weigh myself until at least next week. I'm super bloated and I know I probably gained a few. I don't want to think about it yet.
How are you all doing? Anyone have an NSV they want to share? How about work? What do you all do for a living? 0 -
I'm in!! My current weight is 245...0

Checking in-
Still scared to weigh myself, next Monday I finish a challenge and will need to face the dreaded scale.
On a good note, i'm losing my pajama pants, literally I was walking downstairs with my jammy pants and they started to fall off!
So, we are moving in the right direction (me and my jammies) 0 -
Ok i am fairly new to MFP and I dont know the lingo lol!! what does NSV stand for? And right now I am a full time mom and work part time. My daughter is 14 months old today! She is getting so big. She is the love of my life!0

Ooh.. I've got an NSV! (Non-Scale Victory for those of you who haven't been stalking the message boards like I have. lol)
I'm on week 2 of C25K, (Couch to 5k.. man we have a lot of these little abbreviations) and yesterday, I ran/walked all the way to my mom's house, stopped for some homemade low-fat chicken tortilla soup, and then walked back. It was a total of 5.5 miles, and I felt AMAZING afterwards! Hilly neighborhood conquered!
Oh, and I just bought a dress for a wedding that is a size 8! The last dress I bought in a size 8 was my own wedding dress! (Which was the last dress I bought before I got pregnant with my son, who is now almost 3.)
Feeling pretty motivated! Ready to bust through this plateau and get some Scale Victories!

I'm in!! I don't know what happened to 160, then 170 and I swear just last month I was 180. Hello 190! I swore I would never reach 200, but I also never thought I would be this close. I want to get married in march and would like to be 145 or 150. So this challenge will get me started. (and through the holidays). I'm going to need all the support I can get though. Maybe if I do this with you guys I have some thing to hold myself accountable to. Here we go!!!!0

Late check-in - I gained 2 lbs...what in the world! My clothes are getting looser though.0

Well now that TOM is nearly over I am excited to weigh in again on Sunday, which just so happens to be MY BIRTHDAY! My goal was to get to 222 or 220...I usually set more than one goal, lol. So I had a 10 lb goal (which would get me to 220) and a 40 lbs lost goal, which would get me to 222. I'm just hoping all the excess water weight falls off within the next couple days. It better....I was just telling my friend, I'm so glad that we don't have more than one TOM/month.
My friend and I are both doing this challenge and both training for a 10k! Right now we are doing c25k to get us started. We have just finished week 3 tonight, week 4 starts in a couple days--- ahhhhh! Alright, well I'll be checking in again sooooon!0 -

Yeah, that was me. I contacted my doc on Monday about it and she said that if this keeps up, increase the calories. She does hope it was just "beginer's luck" but she's NOT worried about one week like this. Keep in mind that I had just started MFP the weekend before.So did anyone lose more than 8 lbs? I saw one of you ladies managed to lose 8 in one week! That's amazing, but also beware of how much you are doing. You don't want to over work your body and potentially hurt yourself.. that would delay your weight loss even more And knee/back injuries are the absolute WORST!
Oh yeah,, forgot to mention,, I had to throw away my bra! It got too big..........0 -
HAPPY FRIDAY LADIES! YAYYY!
To all the new people, WELCOME, and just to reiterate my previous post, anyone can join so sign-up all you friends, just make sure they are posting that weigh-in! I will be updating this Sunday so make sure you get it to me and PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE IT TO ME! Ok, moving on...
@spottedlee That is such a great loss! I'm happy to hear you spoke to your doctor about it, I get worried about you all sometimes with those crazy weight losses....For the rest of you, don't forget that the small losses add up, so don't be discouraged!! One pound at a time will get you to where you are going! That goal takes one step closer to you the more you work hard... it WILL pay off, I promise.
This week's NSV's, another notch on my belt down and I've reached a healthy BMI range!
Tell me your NSVs this week!! I want to knoww so I can be a proud weight-loss like mom and post it all over my MFP wall!
Ok, here's my LET'S ROCK THIS WEEK talk for you: Remember: fill half your plate with veggies, sleep for a full 8 hours, drink water, eat less meat, dairy and sugar, breathe deep and slow, activity! movement! exercise! Take time to soothe away stress. Take care of yourself. Most importantly-- love yourself.
YOUR CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: Post a before/after picture. I don't care if you've you lost 2 pounds or 200! I want to see EVERYONE on my spreadsheet posting their pictures on here or on their profile picture. I want you all to take a look at the work you've done and be proud! I think sometimes we are too negative and pick on all the things we aren't doing, or can't do well enough...... I want this to be a POSITIVE week for everyone! Walk away from the cookies and pizza, and reach for the green beans and grapes! Think of MEEEEE and this challenge every time you get tempted... then come post your NSV for the week when you over come it!
Love you all- stay strong, positive and motivated!
