    Well, posted a gain this morning!! I have been getting so bad with logging things which results in eating things I probably shouldn't and I did not drink near enough water this weekend. All amounted to a gain on the scale. I WILL get this back off this week!!! I WILL log every day!!!

    You'll get that weight off! Off of the ladies on here started a 100 day challenge...100 days of logging in starting today...if you're interested. If anyone is interested actually. Today is day 1 and it ends on Valentine's Day! Just a thought!!!

    For the challenge, I posted a 3.5 pound loss from last week. I really stepped it up in my workouts (started 30DS and got on my eliptical) this past week and I watched my weekend eating.

    Getting 8 more pounds off during the next two holiday months is going to be an act of God! But I'm going to stick to it, even if I am stuck here for awhile. Physically, I hurt. But emotionally, I feel good. Even starting to feel pretty. And that is what counts!

    Wow, you're doing great!!! You can totally do this. The emotional part is great and feeling pretty is awesome! Confidence is a great thing!!!

    Your doing a great job! Your keep us all motivated so well and your NSV is inspiring! Sadly I gained this weekend but hey I walked my butt off and loved every minute! I just didnt see the results I wanted because I snacked on the wrong things!

    Here's too learning from our bad days but not letting them hold us back!!!
    Cheers!!!!

    Learning is a very important thing. I have had a few days to learn from and I've taken the lesson and used it instead of filing it under F for Fail.

    You will lose that weight that you gained this week. Just jump back on track with us. We're totally going to nail this!!!

    Well I have only lost a lb this week....a little dissapointed but grateful to have lost anything at all. Really finding it difficult to motivate myself to exercise. I haven't really done any real exercise for 2 weeks! mainly due to a bad cold I have not been able to shake. Feeling better now but after I get home from work and see to the kids and get them in bed the miserable weather is just making me want to cuddle up on the sofa with a cup of coco instead of getting a good work out in....

    That's awesome! I'm glad you found a wrap that helps! Now that you can do your walking...you'll see a loss on Monday! :-)

    I'm glad you're here with us and I definitely encourage people to add each other. I have found that this particular group is the BEST support system ever. Whenever I doubt myself you all get me back in line!!!

    Without this group I would've quit already. You keep me going!

    The weather makes it tough sometimes! You definitely have to be thankful for a loss. A pound is GREAT! I can't work out after I get home...too much to do with the kiddos...so my workout is bright and early in the morning! It's difficult but I have to do it!!!

    I'm still here....Your right I did not want to log my weight because I gained from last week. I ate to much Halloween candy. I will weight-in in the morning and post my weight.

    It's ok! You'll lose that Halloween candy weight in no time! It's really hard to post your weight when it's a gain. I understand completely!!! :-)
