Hey everyone! My goal is to lose 30 lbs by Dec 31st and this challenge/thread almost seems godsent! :laugh: I started my healthy lifestyle on May 15th and have been going strong ever since. I've gone from 186 to 166, lost three pants sizes, and even a bra size! :bigsmile: I've never been so proud of myself in my entire life! I love MFP and got so used to keeping a count of my calories on the site, and then in my head, that I rarely log my meals anymore. I believe that I can do this and I look forward to having you guys there for motivation as we tackle this challenge together! :drinker:

Hi everyone. I lost a pound this week. With each pound I lose, I feel 10 times better than the week before. I'm moving to a new house next weekend which should give me loads of extra excerise.

And you definitely should be proud of yourself. Congratulations. I love going into a new size of clothing. When I started on June 9th I wore a tight size 22 and now I'm a size 18. Do you know what that means? I wear normal sized clothing!!! It feels good to go down in clothing sizes eh? Woo Hoo :bigsmile:

Good morning everyone.
Can I use today's weight for our weekly weigh in? I didn't use yesterday's because of TOM but I weighed in this morning and I am down so I want to use that one. Would that be okay?

jacqueline0821

memaw66 - Use what ever weigh in day that works for you. I am down another pound on the scale today but hope it will stay that way until next week. Do what every is right for you.

Welcome!! debnu1, TNYorker, belldandy1! I hope that you find this group to be very supportive and helps motivate you to become healthy!

bla115 - congrats on the 2 lb loss!

It is 9:20 where I am so that is plenty of time for a challenge: Drink all of your water :drinker: and 30 minutes of exercise.

:flowerforyou:

debnu1

Thanks for the welcome! I will go drink more water, and I just finished 90 minutes of exercise. I guess getting up at 3 am because I can't get back to sleep has it's advantages. :laugh:

thank you thank you thank you for the congrats

It's great. Several months ago when my boss said he was up to 215 (and he's significantly taller than me) I thought to myself, "I weigh more than he does, and I'm a girl, that's just not right" - so now...I weigh less. yay!

today for lunch I'm having morningstar farms buffalo nuggets (which I LOVE) and some humus and a peach. YUM.
