    Started at 270 so far at 265.8, but probably some weight that didn't move in February finally hit the road. Working out almost everyday at the YMCA or with my Jillian Michaels DVDs.

    I need to step it up a notch, I eat very healthy but have cheated. I did start Hip Hop Abs this week and I LOVE it! Has anybody else done this workout? How were the results?

    I have been doing well sticking to my calories, but I haven't been able to workout for a week due to a undisclosed personal issue. Doctor appointment today so hopefully I can begin my workouts again tomarrow. Fingers crossed!! I am GOING to loose these 10 by the end of the month!!!

    Doing a good job on the food and water intake but still have to get motivated on the exercise end.

    Not doing so great here - I've gained! I went up by 2lbs but I've nearly lost all of that now and I'm only .2 over what I was when I originally weighed in, hoping to show a loss when I weigh in tomorrow, even if it's a tiny one!

    I've re-worked my whole diet, increased my calories. Changed my routine a bit. I'll see how it goes.

    I am not succeeding as I would like!!! I have been exercising every weekday (not last Mon & Tues I was sick) and I have been trying to stick to the calories suggested on my Food Diary (BMR-calories to lose weight) and this week the scale is not really moving .... BAH HUMBUG! I will try and cut down my calories more - this is really frustrating -

    I am sticking with it - I would just like to see the scale move this week .... final weigh-in for this week tomorrow and I am dreading it :(

    I have been doing pretty well the only problem is I got a cold from work and I have a cough it makes it really hard to work out especially since I have exercise induced asthma. Hopefully I kick the cold by Monday and will be able to start up my daily exercise again.

    I haven't hit all the activity targets, but I've kept under calories and within all my allowanes, as well as drinknig loads of water and getting a little exercise every day, even if it's just housework, walking my kid to and from school, and walking to work.

    SW: 213.5lbs
    9/3/12: 211.25lbs (2.25lbs down)
    GW: 203.5lbs

    I'm really pleased with how I'm doing so far. Once I've dropped another pound, that will be a stone gone from my frame and I shall treat myself to a new dye job on my hair (it really needs it and I desperately want it done, so holding off till I hit that target is making sure I really go for it!).

    I'm really enjoying this site and all the lovely people I'm now in contact with through it. :)

    Four pounds so far isn't so bad, although I did start a few days before everybody else. I would love to drop two his week but this weekend and the next week or so are actually really hectic social wise which throws me off (when I drink and am hungover I eat so very much). I'm just going to tell myself that as long as it's not a gain it's ok. Feeling a lot more stability recently when it comes to food even if I am still messing up.

    But seriously, crossing fingers for a drop this week, just not really expecting it....

    Hope everybody is feeling upbeat, congrats on keeping strong, x

    I started at 233 and this morning I was at 228. I'm sure a lot of that was water weight so it wll be harder from here. I am ready for it!!

    I haven't lost a pound...very frustrating but I only have myself to blame. I haven't worked out as much as I should and I have had more cheat meals than I should. Just trying to loose as much as I can before the end of March at this point. Any weight lost is better than no weight lost.

    Down 4 lbs. thus far, but this week has been a challenge to get in exercise, due to persistent migraines. On a brighter side, I pulled out a pair of jeans that I haven't zipped in a year (without the stretch fabric) and they fit! That's enough motivation to keep me on track and get rid of these last 6 lbs. by the 31st!

    I've not hit all the daily chalenges, but I HAVE been green right across the board on all my allowances every day, and have drunk at least 8 glasses of water every day (I average 10-12 each day). I've also been getting at least some exercise every day and so far I have dropped 7lbs so far. I hope to drop at least another half pound by weigh in on Friday... *fingers crossed*

    gah, pulled a muscle in my leg so unable to exercise! i've lost 2 official lbs so far, but my mid week weigh in says i've lost 5lbs altogether. so i'm not going to reach the 10lb mark, but i'm pleased i've done this well given my injury :) good luck everybody else!
