    Okay, my update:

    New weight: 332.8 (I lost about half a pound).

    Better than nothing. Determined to lose 3 pounds to get under 330.

    I REALLY need to try to log on during weekends. I'm finding that being on this site is keeping me accountable. So, thank you ALL for that.

    Happy Halloween everyone!

    Instead of reaching for that candy bowl, I'm reaching for my water bottle!

    Am really depressed =( I gained weight and don't want to weigh in on wednesday. My exercise video was left at my moms so I wont get it for a few days and now I've pretty much lost all my motivation. ( a lot of things have gone terribly wrong in the past couple days)
    Was very bad this weekend, though I stayed under my calories. I'm just really upset that the weight isn't coming off like I hoped.
  • Sounds great! I'm in
    starting weight 268
    goal by christmas 243

    Let's just say it is my birthday. I am on vacation, and will certainly get back on track when I am in town on Tuesday.

    skpresley20~ Don't worry about not losing weight this week. It's a roller coaster ride and we'll all experience great weeks and weeks that we wish could have been better at the scale. Stick with it! Weight loss takes tenacity! Maybe try a new form of exercise until you pick up the exercise DVD? Just dancing around your house burns calories! ]

    good evening Merry Christmas to YOU gang!

    I have not had a very good day, but am hopeful for tomorrow. Got into some Halloween candy..not enough water today... and I didn't exercise. :ohwell:

    I am thrilled to see all the activity on this thread and it is great to see people still joining our wonderful group. I am still taking all your names and info.

    REMEMBER** you must report your weight on Wednesday's in order for it to be on the chart. I plan to post the chart on Friday's. I have gone back and re-read all the pages of this thread and found some I missed...huge apologies. and thanks for the messages to me as well. Again, if I miss someone or have info wrong, let me know. I am trying to keep up with all the info and adding new people as the join.

    I am thinking for this weeks challenge it will be on the lines of what nisijam5 suggested....to try and be mindful of our choices when eating. to ask ourselves 1) I am eating because I am hungry OR is it because I feel???? 2) do I eat until I am full...satisfied...stuffed?? I have learned with myself that planning and prepping my meals as much as I can helps A LOT.

    I am also thinking of throwing in a mini challenge for the **weekend/Sat & Sun only**....to log all your food.

    enjoy the rest of your Monday and here's to a successful Tuesday!!

    I honestly understand girl. Reading your post, though, made me realize that I can't give up, because I dont want YOU to give up. Today & yesterday were bad days for me. I'm so tempted by all these treats around me, and I have no support system. It's really difficult to keep going with stuff like this going on. But I have to think of the end result, whenever that result may come, and so do you. IT might take longer than we want, but we can do it. We are STRONG women. :)

    Hello Everyone!

    Just checking in- I drank 8 glasses of water today and did my pushups. I suck at upperbody work, so I managed only 12 girly ones. I know I can more if I work on it more. Hope everybody else is on track too! :)

  • Yesterday and today weren't great calorie wise. I didn't get my twenty pushups a day done but I did ten yesterday and thirteen today so I haven't missed a day of at least SOME exercise. Ordered some running shoes on Saturday :) 2 more pounds and I'll have lost my first ten pounds! Can't wait to weigh in Wednesday. We're doing it girls, don't give up!

    That is a awesome idea, I have a friend who works out with a trainer and he told her the same thing, I had forgot about that, I am with you and will start doing that as well today! Thanks and good luck! We will see how it goes!:wink:

    Ok, I couldn't wait and so I weighed myself today. 196--that's 3.5 lbs down from last week and 11.5 lbs down since my start date! Yay :bigsmile: Can't wait to see everyone else's great results this week. Keep up the good work, friends! Christmas will be here before we know it and we will be looking and feeling fabulous!
  • Ugh, I am so mad at myself. I went away for the weekend and did not do very good on my diet and did not excercise and I weighed myself this morning and I have gained weight and the last thing I want to do is have a plus and set me back on my chart for this. I am so angry with myself. I should have made better choices over the weekend. All I can do now is do better everyday and in the future :(

    Don't beat yourself up too much :). I think it's good for your body to fluctuate a little in calories. You'll be better off in the long run., even with weight gain.
