    I was hoping for a little bit more but I'm happy with the 1 lb loss, it was a pretty stressful weekend, but I didnt turn to food for comfort, not to say i was tempted though. That in itself, is a victory for me! Thank you everyone for all your well wishes for my Dad!

    Ugh...I am bloated- time of month is approaching. Happy that I at least didn't gain much...maybe that is a good sign for when the bloating recedes! :) Was reluctant to weigh this morning!

    My son was sick last week (hand, foot, and mouth), and then from Thursday until today, I have been ill (sore throat, dizziness, feet blisters), but will be doing exercise this week, and don't worry, i have been resting, have a 5k on Saturday that I am running so i refuse to let my body say anything less then we need to!!!!!!!!!!! My water intake was up to 5 glasses, when normally i only drink about 3 a day, but what triggered all of my illness to start was drinking water from the faucet that had softener salt in it instead of the actual well water (and once i had too much salt, everything dominoed from there).

    Hope everyone has a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Poor baby my one of my twins got hand foot and mouth this past christmass NO BUENO. hope you and he are recovering! take care of your self

    Off to a good start! Hopefully I can keep it up. :bigsmile:

    It's my 8 month anniversary on MFP, so I have uploaded my latest progress pictures to my profile. I don't really see much difference from my last set but I am down a clothing size so must have just lost it proportionately.

    I am off to see Nickelback, Three Days Grace and I Mother Earth in an all day outdoor concert. There will be no access to healthy food but i will be walking a lot so hopefully that will offset the high calorie food. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Good luck with the scales! :drinker:


    Congrats on 2.6 pounds lost, that is awesome! :drinker:

    Who starts a weight loss challenge and gains 2 lbs the first week?!?!? Me, apparently. I'll be honest, this was a really bad week for me. I got the news that a childhood friend of mine was found dead, I'm currently doing the job of 3 people at work (including training a new person), TOM came roaring in mid week and my 2 year old daughter is having surgery tomorrow morning.

    So, I'm admitting to making really bad choices, especially towards the end of the week. I'm wanting to put this week behind me and move forward and past this. I really need to learn to not emotionally eat and to use exercise instead of food to help with stress.

    So...sorry everyone! I promise to do better this next week! :embarassed:

    If you have any good vibes that you can send our way tomomrrow for the surgery, I'd appreciate it!

    I hope your babies surgery goes well I am so sorry for your loss. I had a stressful week as well although not nearly as stressful as yours. no need to be embarrassed we will both do better this week and you showed up so that counts as a win. :heart:

    Thank you! During the last challenge my numbers slowed to a crawl so I'm hoping to do better on this challenge. (I'm secretly hoping to hit Onederland, but didn't want to set my goal too high, but if i can average 2lbs a week I will get there, so will be ridiculously excited every time I hit 2lbs on my weigh in! LOL).

    It is 2 pounds from Monday to Monday but I can't get very excited about it though, because I have been dancing with a few pounds lost since April. 4/10---208, 6/9---201, 6/29---205, 7/4---202, 7/2---205,7/9---203. I did start here at MFP weighing 212.

    This is so frustrating. I am exercising every day, drinking water and have not gone over on my calories. I even recently got a heart rate monitor so I can make sure my exercise is intense! Is there anyone else here that is experiencing the same thing with their weight loss? Going up and down with the same pounds? I’m glad to have found this challenge so I can learn from other’s. I just don’t know what I am doing wrong. Best wishes and much success to all of us here.

    I was hovering around the same weight, and playing with the same 2-3 lbs for a couple of months.... hit a total plateau, then gave up, and put back on a total of 8 lbs! I was SO FRUSTRATED!! Anyway, I got back on MFP, and I was so happy to get in this group, I figure it will help keep me honest and think more about sticking to a good diet and ESPECIALLY exercise! My advice is to definately DO NOT give up, keep plugging along. You may want to try mixing up your exercise, sometimes your body gets so used to what you are doing, you get stuck in that plateau.

    This was what I was afraid was going to happen this week. I was at my parents in Seattle last week for weigh in and didn't have my usual summer bloat from the heat in Phoenix. I think their scale weights similar to mine since I weight Tuesday morning after we got back and was just under 186. Then my weight jumped up to 191 as my body freaked out about the heat and slowly came back down. I'll just keep giving it lots and lots of water and see what happens this week. Measurements are next week as well. I'm lookig forward to those as most the clothes I took to my parents were baggy and I'm using the last hole in my belt to keep my pant up.

    Congratulations to everyone for making through the first week of the challenge. Remember it is not only about the scale but learning to make better choices and feeling good.

    7th of July parties are my downfall, apparently. Did well on calories all week except for Saturday at a party and sure enough, it showed up on the scale on Monday. I am disappointed in myself but I'm not giving up. Looking forward to this week and sticking to my nutrition and exercise goals.

    Thoughts and prayers for her surgery. My (now 4 year old) son had surgery at 7 weeks, 9 months and 3 years, and my daughter (now nearly 7) at 18 months and at 3 years. It is scarier for you than it will be for her...I promise. Hugs!

    Not a good way to start off this Challenge! Like Gina I am so frustrated with this recent plateau...I've been going up and down the same 2 pounds for the past 4 weeks! I'm going to go back and re-read everyone's post for this week for some motivation and then I am going to look back over my diaries for the past few weeks and see if I can figure out what is wrong.

    To everyone that has posted a loss this week...Congratulations, well done! To those that stayed the same...that is almost as good as a loss in my mind. To those, who like me, posted a gain, we will regroup and rock it this week and have a better weigh in next time!

    If you are struggling through a plateau...just know that you are not alone. Let's shake things up this week, try different things, and come and post here when we find something that is working for us. More importantly, if you are getting really discouraged and ready to throw in the towel...come here and post and let us help to motivate you.

    Cheers, Carole
