    Ok, so I have now posted this in my other group and on my wall, but I'm so excited I'm posting it again!!! Had a totally awesome NSV today. I had a bunch of old clothes packed away, most because they were too small. I decided to pull them out since my clothes are falling off of me. While doing so I found an old red dress that used to be my favorite dress, but I haven't been able to fit into it in over 10 years. To the point that if I would have tried I would have ripped it to shreds. Decided to give it a shot and it fit prefectly! I couldn't believe it, and it doesn't look out of date it looks great. This is even better than buying a new dress!!! Just had to share!!

    that is way awesome!! you rock those clothes girl!!!!

    I have some news to share... Today I reached TARGET WEIGHT.

    Been in a daze all day, can't quite believe it... :glasses:

    I've gone from 145lb to 119lb, which doesn't sound much but I'm only 4' 11, so that's going from a start point which is a couple of pounds away from being clinically obese, to being well within the normal weight for my height.

    Thanks to ALL my fellow Gryffindors who helped motivate me, you're the very best. :flowerforyou:

    amazing job!!!

    Thanks for the pep talk guys! I am on my way out the door to go to the gym to start my day off right! And then go shopping! I am going to be good when we go out to eat, I just have to remember to eat slow and choose wise. And say no to sugary sweets!

    Welcome to the joys of going "clothes shopping" in your own wardrobe. :bigsmile:

    Well done on being so positive.

    Having a big glass of water between courses helps too.

    Hey Gryffs! I hope everyone's challenges are going well this week. I finished two finals and have two more and a paper to go, so until next Saturday I'm not really thinking too much about goals, I admit. It's all I can do to eat regularly and not survive on coffee right now - which I normally don't drink much of so I'm really jittery and then I crash hard! That's why caffeine is evil! I'm looking forward to starting C25K when this is all over. Keep on keepin' on, Gryffs!

    You're doing great, at stressful times it's so tempting to take the easy way out, I'm proud of the way you're keeping your head above water.

    After this, things are going to seem SO simple! :bigsmile:

    My goal this week is to MAKE time for at least yoga every day to earn some house points, because the next two weeks are going to be nuts! I'm going to do my best to come SPEW every day and tell you how I'm doing. You all blow me away with your hard work!

    Checking in:

    CW: 163 (up 2 pounds :cry: although down in inces...once again my scale and measuring tape can't get along)
    OWLS: 25
    NEWTS: 30
    SPEW: 5
    HP: 315

    Been feeling a little off the past few days so hopefully I'll be back on track soon, just in time for my solo drive from New Mexico to Michigan. So if I'm slacking a little in the next week or so I appologize in advance.

    Can I change my check in day from Monday to Sunday, or will that throw things off? All my other groups have weigh in on Sunday so it would make more sense.

    you can check in anytime between friday and monday. doesnt have to be same day every week. i sometimes check in sundays sometimes on mondays. so dont worry about it throwing things off, it wont!

    Ok is there any way we can put the challenges and weight ins in a different place or something cause I have never had this hard of a time of finding challenges I haven't looked at them the past few times cause I could never find them and got sick of looking.
