Good Morning everyone!

Hope everyone had a great weekend- i know i did!

I had to start this thread this morning because I am so excited- after my weigh in this morning, i found that I've broken my plateau and LOST 3 LBS!!!

I haven't lost anything for about 6 months, but thanks to calorie cycling, lots and lots of water, and lots of motivation from you all, i am back on track! only 2 lbs more to go for this challenge!

HAPPY MONDAY! :flowerforyou:

Ugh, I'm bummed out because I didn't lose anything. But, I am on my TOM so I am guessing that is why. I stuck with my calories, exercised, and drank my water so I'm not sure why I didn't lose.

I had a great weekend! Weekends are always hardest for me. I have lost .3, which isn't much but i'm SO excited. I havn't lost anything for the last few weeks.

Shannahrose...GREAT job...3 lbs thats awesome!

Give it a few more days and i'm sure you will lose. Our bodies all are different and do things different. Don't get too bummed...you've lost 24 lbs so far!!!

absolutely blame it on the TOM- if you've been sticking w/ eating right and exercising, it will come off! I'd give it a get more days and weigh in again. :flowerforyou:

way to go shanna

PSM - keep working it will pay off!

Ness-way to keep working at it

I've realized that TIME is slow when we watch the scale but we're all doing what's best for us - we are healthier and I know that I am happier - more confident.

Here's to a great week !!!! :drinker:

Off to a good start with healthy choices and drinking my water...later on I'll be at the Y for some cardio and my strength class!

Have a great day!!! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Good morning lovely ladies!

CONGRATS on the 3lbs Shannah!! That's wonderful! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :drinker:

Ness - you're doing great..just keep it up and it will show in time! :glasses:

PSM - you're doin what's best for you, good things take time! :happy:

Chrissy - I totally agree! :flowerforyou: Hope you have a great Monday!

My weekend was very stressful, fun, busy, and exhausting. Made a lot of poor choices but at least I got to the gym both Friday after work and then Saturday morning. Then yesterday I helped clean my brother and sister's house for 3 hours - I was sweating so I'm hoping that'll counter-act with the pizza they ordered for dinner. :grumble: I'll just have to stick to my guns the rest of the week! :glasses: Lots of water, good workouts and some MUCH NEEDED Sleep!!


On a great note though - I GOT TO MEET MY NIECE THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!! She's so tiny but doing well. Got a little bit of bad news but we know she'll pull through and be just fine (at least we're certainly praying for it!). :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I'm so happy to be an Aunt and my eyes well up with tears when I think of her, look at pictures of her, and see how excited my brother and sister are to have their beautiful baby girl here in this world. So, I can't say it enough - THANK YOU ALL for all of your support and prayers. It means the world to me! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Ok - anyway ladies....let's all have a wonderful week. We're close to the end of our challenge and we're all doing wonderful. My total weight lost for this challenge isn't but 1.5lbs - but with TOM showing up yesterday and all the excitment of the baby shower, it's ok. I'll get back on track for the rest of the time!

Oh, and I've finished 7 days of 24 for exercise - today is day 8! May not make 17 but I'm gonna try to come as close as possible! :drinker: :blushing:

I did not lose anything this weekend but am still with AUnt flo. Hoping by the time she leaves I will have showed a loss. Had a great weekend with lots of fun. Spent much needed time with my overworked DH. We went and saw a sick friend and I am so glad we stopped to see how he is doing. Please pray for our friend Droopy. :flowerforyou:

Great Job everyone. I am so impressed by your hard work and dedication.

This weekend was not good. I revolted against everything heathy. I didn't work out, and ate out Friday, Saturday, and did a late night binge at McDonalds last night (thanks to my DH). Plus it is my TOM. I am pounding down the water today, and have scheduled in an hour at the gym after work. My weekend of craziness is over, and I am back at it! I still have hopes of hitting my goal, but I know it will be tough.

Hi guys!!!

Looks like everyone is doing all right

Opera I hope its notihing too big with the bad news with your neice... i am still saying a little prayer for her

also saying a prayer for droopy:flowerforyou:

My weekend was alright... a little crazy, I took the kids to "disney on ice" so they had a great time!!! but i think i might have picked up some sort of bug or something cause i feel like a bag of crap!!!! im achey and tired and my throat is killing me, and i have a fever... BLAH!!!!!:sick:
But on the good note i have lost even more weight... down to 211 as of this morning:drinker: I dont remember what my origional weight was when i started this "losing the eggstra" challenge... I know i wrote it down in the first post but i had been fluctuating so much back then (4 or 5 pounds) and had been stuck doing that for so long.. like 4 months ... I dont remember my start weight for this lol
but what i do know is i am down 3 pounds more than i ever was in that fluctuation!!! which im thrilled about ... now i just need to get over this sickness... cause honestly i dont have any energy... i had planned to go to the gym today but thats not happening... :indifferent:
Anyways I hope everyone has an awesome monday

I had a good weekend but not food/exercise wise.
My husband got an unexpected bonus on his check which helped out sooooooo much. I got to spend Saturday/Sunday with my sweet sweet grandson. So I had fun but I didn't do well on the food choices nor did I exercise. I am not going to get on the scale until the 10th plus it's that TOM for me too. So I am avoiding the scale at all costs! I don't expect to make my 6# loss that I was hoping for on the 10th so I will be happy if I lose even 1lb!

Congrats to every one who is doing so well.

I will be back at Jazzercise tonight and plan to kick it up a notch, if my cramps are too bad!

Have a great day everyone!!!!
