    How will I do it? Well, controlling myself and not let my "cheat" day turn into a cheat weekend is a start. I'm also going to workout every day, M-F. My weeks always start off good, then go terribly, horribly wrong...


    Totally can relate on the cheat day becoming a cheat weekend... been happening all darn April!!! This is the END!

    Good Morning! Cheetos checking in. This week did not go so well.
    Last week- 165
    This week- 168
    So now I have 3 weeks to lose 13 pounds. That's probably not going to happen. I'm on vacation this week (I'm just popping on a computer this morning to weigh in and say hi), and I've eaten out in restaurants almost every day. I still don't think I ate 3 pounds worth of extra food. Feel free to check out my diary; I think it's open to everyone. I'm going to hope it's water weight and continue to do what I'm doing this week, and maybe through in a diuretic. Hope everyone else did better than me! Have a great week everyone!

    **Edit- I just logged everything I can remember from the past few days. Ignore my comment about not eating much over what I usually do. I was ridiculously over every day.**

    I'm late starting but I'm going to do what I can to meet this goal by the end of the month. I'm using the C25K program, and plan on starting the 30 day Shred again.

    I had a bad week :( I didn't watch what I ate and gained 3 lbs...
    I'm starting turbo jam today, to get an extra workout with the ripped in 30 program I'm following...
    I'm going to really watch what I eat too.

    I hope I have better results next week!

    I know I'm a little late, but I'd like to join!
    Weight on May 1: 215
    GW (for May): 205
    CW: 212

    I already lost 3 lbs this month, so I really hope I can lose the last 7! My hubby is coming home from deployment end of June and I'd love to be under 200 when he sees me! I have a personal trainer I see 1-2 times a week and do cardio and strength training 4 times a week. I plan to add at least one more day/week to work out and count my calories. Also, intake more water.

    Login and see how you did compared to others. It's so much fun when you are in a group!!!

    Hi Everyone,
    I have to preface this by saying that each of you deserves to feel good about going for this really tough goal.

    That being said I hope to vent a little to get a little supprt ...

    I feel like I tried pretty hard this week and I only lost a pound.

    I've been doing this for a while and during the first 2 months I lost 10 pounds each month.
    I was so excited, and very very proud.

    In April I moved homes, traveled, and while I was tracking my cals here, my workouts were spotty at best. I didn't gain.
    But I lost nothing the whole month.

    So that's why I started this challange. I thought if I had my head in the game I would go back to where I was losing 1-3 pounds every week.

    I don't know what I did differently this week than one of the weeks when I lost 3 pounds.
    I use my fitbit, I don't eat back all my calorie adjustments but when I get a good workout in I do eat back some.


    I don't really expect a solution from y'all except to try get in another workout or two a week. I will.
    And I am proud of what I've done on the whole...

    but AAAHHHRRRG!

    I just wanna scream a little....

    Thanks for listening :)

    IMPORTANT PS:

    To all those who also lost 1 pound in week one... PLEASE don't take offense.
    You be proud. You worked HARD! Believe me I KNOW how hard.
    This post was just for me so that I don't take my frustration out on my boo or burst into tears or something...
    He doesn't deserve that :)
    Go on with your bad selves... we got time to hit this goal!

    I work out 5 times a week (strength training 3 days/week and cardio 5 days/week) and cannot lose any weight. Would love to lose 10 pounds by June 15. I started tracking my food intake yesterday and according to the website I should be eating more. I don't get it. I'm almost 60 years old. Any advice?
