Hi team- weigh in this morning . I'm down 4 pounds. That means I MET my 4th of july challenge already. I'm at 300 pounds . I was hoping to be 299 at weigh in. I know I'll be below 300 at next Sundays weigh in. I want to lower my challenge and say I'll be 295 by the 4th. Have a great day everyone. :flowerforyou: Cindy 0

Well how is everyone else doing?
I am about 3 pounds away from my 4th of July goal. Making progress, YAY.
I will be so happy to be out of the 300's and into the 200's. Maybe I'll be able to buy clothes again.0 -
Great job CINDY!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you :happy: I knew you would do it in no time
I have 5 lbs to go! :happy:0 -
I'm at 183, and I"m not going to kill myself to lose that last 8 lbs in the next 2 weeks. BUT I do think I can get down to about 177 or 178, not bad considering setbacks like weddings, graduation parties and illness getting in the way!
Don't worry, I'm still plugging away, but 4 lbs in a week just isn't healthy at my size without a doctor's supervison.0 -
I think you're doing a great job so far! :happy:0

Lisamgould SW138, GW124, CW136!! Well doesn't look like I am going to make it. I seem to only be losing a lb a week. I guess that is good though...a healthy progress...what do they say you should only lose 3-4 lbs a month to avoid gaining it back. So at this rate I will be at 134 by July 4th. Makes me sad!!!0
-
I think you're doing great! Even tho you think you might not make it by july 4th, stay positive like you are and you'll lose that weight in no time
Good luck! :flowerforyou: 0 -
Thanks Kidvicious!! I try to be positive.. I feel good about my progress. I think I was just a little overzealous in my estimate. Its al good! 0
-
I think I was too. I think I started at like 158ish? something like that (I'd have to go back thru the thread and check) and now Im at 155. My goal weight is 150 I do believe...but I don't think I'll be able to lose 5lbs by then. I'll def try, but I won't be disappointed if I don't. I think we've all been doing great so far! Everyone should be proud of themselves 0
-
KIdvicious, I want to echo what was said before. You really are a GREAT cheerleader!0
-
haha thanks I know how it feels to lose motivation and drag yourself down. It's no fun whatsoever. The only way to keep going is to stay positive. Negativity will get you no where. If anyone needs even the slightest bit of help, I'm totally here for you guys! Motivation/help/talking/etc. Just let me know 0

End Goal: 150
Current Weight: 183
Loss of 3.5 lbs
Ok, so my 4th of July goal just ain't gonna happen! BUT I lost 3.5 lbs this month. It's not the best, but it's something.... slowly but surely I'm stopping the scale from it's deadly climb and making my thighs shrink away. :happy: So my new 4th of July goal? It's in 2 weeks. I want to weigh in at 180. That's 1.5 lbs per week. Even though I've been averaging about .75 lbs per week, I think I can do it, with some extreme will power (I work at a bakery :ohwell: ) I must resist the scones! Resist! :laugh:0 -
Me again-Hi team- weigh in this morning . I'm down 4 pounds. That means I MET my 4th of july challenge already. I'm at 300 pounds . I was hoping to be 299 at weigh in.

yay! Way to go Cindy so proud of you :happy:
I finally got my butt back into gear. I went wogging (mostly running/jogging) tonight. How about you? Did you go "full force" yet? lol0 -
congrats guys!!
well i'm way off my goal... only been losing about 1lb a week - IF THAT- feels more like 1lb per month actually!! i've cut down my calorie intake to 1200 p/day and exercise for 55mins, 5-6 days p/week, drinking no less than 12 glasses of water p/day. I'm going to up my exercise to 2x p/day and see what happens but does anyone have any suggestions to help.... i'm getting REALLY discouraged and i have so much more weight to lose = 8lbs for the challenge & 31lbs overall goal :ohwell: :sad:0 -
make sure you are eating your exvercise calories or your body will go into "Starvation" mode and you won't loose the weight! Also beware of excersice burn out, you don't want to over due it and strain your body! Then you won't beable to exercise at all! Also just remember that weight loss is a marathon not a sprint! You will achieve your goal, it just takes time!0

ahh im still stuck at the same weight today i know its not friday yet so hopefully i can pull off at least a pound. Im not sure if im gonna meet my 4th july goal or not 5 pounds in two weeks is alot.
goal=209
current 214.50 -
I think a bunch of us are going to miss our goal be a few lbs. It's ok, at least you're trying and sticking with MFP. You've lost 9 lbs! That's so awesome! I think you're doing a great job so far. Keep up the good work and before you know it, you'll be at you'll goal weight 0

thanks for the encouragement:happy:
i actually read a post today about eating my exercise calories.... i'm having a hard time eating my 1200 now! lol...but i just need to get out of that eating-more-is-bad mentality! :blushing:
i've been working hard at it this week so hopefully it'll show from now on ... lol
keep up the good work guys!:flowerforyou:0 -
Man, I wish I had a problem eating my cals lol I'm always hungry. I'm allowed to have 1470 each day without exercise. I'm always so hungry if I don't exercise and eat the exercise cals.
You'll do just fine! :happy: Keep up the good work! Good luck 0 -
ok the dreaded weigh in day lol. but Im down to 214.1 hey .4 of a pound is better than nothing lol. Plus this bring my grand total to 10 pounds lost which is very exciting. I'm almost positive I wont make the goal. So I think I'm going to revise it to 212.
current weight 214.1
goal weight 2090 -
i didn't weigh myself this morning:ohwell: Completely forgot to do it..totally slipped my mind and there's no way i'm stepping on the scale tonight lol esp after just eating dinner. So hopefully tomorrow morning says I'm down a pound or two..or three... *knocks on wood* cross your fingers for me lol0

One more week to go and I am almost there.
I hit a bit of a plateau and wasn't exercising as much as I should have been but after two days of going to the beach at the lake to swim. I have lost another pound and I only have 2.2 more to go to reach my 4th of July goal.
Today I am going to a festival with my husband and inlaws and will be walking all day but there will be lots of bad bad bad food. I'll have to look for the not as bad stuff.
Next week I will have to be sure to exercise and eat healthy and I know I can lose those last two pounds and be able to say goodbye to the 300's and hello 200's.
I think I will set my next goal for my birthday which is in September (along with my 11th Anniversary). Just not sure what weight I want to be at by that time. Anyone have any ideas of what would be a good goal? Suggestions are welcome.
Well everyone have a great week and I will see you here next week to report making my goal. (Gotta be positive)0 -
I know how ya feel. I hit another plateau myself. It's prob bc I wasn't exercising as much as I normally do. :ohwell:
It's great to hear you only have 2.2 lbs to go til the 4th!!! Great job!
Hope everyone else is doing well this week! Keep up the good work!0 -
