I weigh in on Saturday morning...so hoping to be down a pound or two by then!

On a more substantial note, I went shopping and tried on a size 8 skirt and it fit!! Now that makes my week!! I started in January as a size 18/20! I'm having to reevaluate my entire closet full of clothes, cause everything's too baggy!!! All my old pants have gone to goodwill already!

Very inspiring! You must be thrilled with your results even though it is expensive to have to replace all of your clothes

I am just about to do day 1 of the 30 day shred... anyone else tried it?

OK did weigh in, Started this challange at 212, and as of this morning I am 209, so I hope next week will be the same but I doubt it. As I approach TOM it gets harder to lose. But I am feeling great. This challange has been good for me. Thanks,
And wow, there are so many joined up for this. Thanks for the daily stories. Anyone found any great recipe's of low cal but fillin g yummy food? Tonight I made a pasta sauce with hot tomato sauce and pinapple, I love the taste of sweet and hot. grated in carrot and zuchinni. Tastes good even cold. Mixed it in with gluten free brown rice pasta.

Had a strange day today! I didnt work today because I was visiting with my Sister in Law. Went to Applebees and had spinich and shrimp salad... 3 of them! UGG! But I logged it! And I feel really good about the fact that I wrote it down and moved on!

Tip for the day for me "DRINK WATER! Drink 1/2 body weight in ounces of water (for me that would me that would be 106 oz (or 13.25 cups)

yoshelin_20

GOOD MORNING!!!! I hope everyones day is off to a great start!

I forgot my breakfast this morning:( but I have been downing my water to keep try and make it to lunch without diving into the Reese Cups (darn work candy jar)

Tip of the day for me "Do some purposeful movement! Get off your Butt and do some thing!"

Tonight I will attend another pole fitness class but I hope to get out and walk before I go to the class.

Hope everyone has a great day and wonderful start to the weekend!

Ohh I would like to offer up a challange to everyone: Do something this weekend that is out of your box. Try a new food, do a new workout, anything! Shake it up a little!

ok sounds good to me I just started 7 days ago and could use a support group. I'm doing this because I will be turning 50 in a couple of months and want to feel better about myself.

GOOD MORNING ALL MY SHORTIE FRIENDS!

I am already up and at them! I am getting ready for my first of 2 pole fitness classes today! I can not wait to rock it out! I stuck a move last night that I have been trying for 3 weeks to get! Mind you it is a "basic" move, however it made me feel so awesome that I could accomplish it!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Tip of the day for me "get in your water! Especially since I will be working out a lot today"

I'm in. I started again on MfP last Monday and have already gone down 5 lbs. I am 5'1 171. I need all of the support I can get.

ajpeardon

5' and down with the challenge!

mommajolynn

24 and 190 lbs. Went out and walked/ran 2.39 miles this morning. I feel awesome :-)

Ok, I'm ready to do this again. Dec-Mar I lost 20 lbs, dropped body fat from 33% to 20%. I CAN DO THIS.
I worked out 5x a week, varing aerobics, step, muscle conditioning and zumba. I kept a food diary and found that repeation of foods was the safest. AM - coffee, banana, yougart, granola bar. Never ate these all at once, spaced it out. Lunch was a homemade vegetable soup and oyster crackers. Afternoon was yougart, milk, or vege sticks. Regular dinner watching portion size, stayed away from white foods - bread, rice, potato. That was hard. I fill up a 32 oz jug of water 2 times a day, use propel to flavor it. Yougart again for dessert. I need motivation to get out the front door and go to the Y or do my P90x at home. It works with dedication. Best wishes for you and me. I have found as I get older, loving to walk is just not enough.
I am 5', 54 yo, and don't mind 140ish if the body fat is down. I had to stop due to illness and the waist is flabby again. Not pretty. My scale has been creeping upward and it neeeds to stop. HELP!

Ok, I've been lurking here for a while. It's about time I post I suppose. I am 30, 5' and currently at 191 pounds. My highest weight was 240. I had lost 70 pounds in 3 months, due to relationship issues. Since I have been better I gained back 20 pounds. Now, I am ready to lose for good. This morning I finished Jillian Michaels - Frontside for the first time, I plan on doing Backside tomorrow, and during the week doing her 30DS. I have decided not to log what I eat, as I get obsessed with it, and don't eat enough. I am hoping I don't quit this time only after a week. Thanks.

I am going to use your tip of the day too! My youngest daughter has been sick most of the week and the only way she was comfortable enough to sleep was when I was holding her. I didn't want to wake her with frequent bathroom trips so I didn't drink my usual amount of water. Feeling very dehydrated today! it is raining here so my exercise for the day will be day 2 of the 30 day shred (I am skipping a day in between).

What is everyone else up to today?

elifmemis

I'm in! 5'2 and 196lbs. What a great idea!

Themuseinme

Count me in

Themuseinme

Count me in too!
Im 5 ft 3/4 inch and 195::drinker:

Does anyone have trouble eating at night? meaning after dinner...I was better yesterday but still need some feedback. Thanks!

akinmytua

I think it would be better if you gave in and had that one Reese's cup, only because you missed breakfast.

akinmytua

I have this problem too. I finally decided that since I can't stop the desire to eat late, I can change what I eat late. I used to hit the cheese and pepperoni and make a full on sandwich, but I switched to popsicles, fruit, and italian ices. They are food, but far fewer calories than a late night sandwich.

toxicpanda2011

I'm in! I'm 5'0 and 178 i'm ready to start shedding the pounds

elifmemis

I'm trying to look at small goals as an accomplishment, switching from a sandwich to a popsicle...Last night I just had water but I know the temptation can be there.

islandnutshel

I was big on the night eating, I have switched that to a half glass of red wine, IF I have the calories left over.

Hello everyone, I was away most of the weekend, so I hope everyone had a good one. We have a few days before weigh in, so I am planning to get some good hikes in.

And I get my dog back, I left him at mom's for the weekend, and tomorrow I travel over to Saltspring Island to pick him up. Miss him soooo much.
