    Hi Guys,
    How is everyone doing? My weight has been fluctuating the last few weeks. It is very frustrating.

    Well, no loss and no gain. I'm a little disappointed since it is only my 2nd week. Then again, I ate a lot of junk food this week. Didn't go over my calorie count, but I'm sure that had an affect :ohwell:

    Everyone seems like they are doing great! I am really only on day 2 of trying hard to lose weight and so it's constantly running through my mind! I had to look at every bag of chips in the gas station...but I didn't get any, I'm pretty proud of myself :-)

    Good job on not gaining, i'm sure next week's weight loss will incoporate a pound or two that you should've lost this week.

    Hey Ladies just checkn in I was kind of disappointed because I had been exercising daily for a hour drinking 10 cups of water staying at 1200 cal or 100-200 below it when i created this challenge I was 202.3 lbs within 5 days I went to 197.4 last week I reached my aug 23rd goal of 193lbs(yayyy) right.... Since then the scale has been fluctuating down one up 5 and so forth so I was like what in the heck (ill keep it clean) is going on im busting my butt everyday going to the track in the hot florida heat jillian michaels got me sweating like no tomorrow im under my calories ( I did have a cheat day once or twice since ive been on this site) but others thanks that I was on it so I stepped on the scale (I am not a daily weigher) cuz I knew I had dropped 5lbs all that hard work I was doing to my suprize it showed 198.7 I said no no no so I was fustrated so I made my food diary public ns asked for feedback i was told i was a snacker (true) n I eat to many carbs (true) even thought I was eating 1200 I was eating the wrong things hamburger helper bread noodled chips (I figured they're only 90 cal a bag as long as I stay under 1200 exercise n water ill be fine) soooo not the case I also didn't have sodium as a requirement I edited it so basically even though I was doing what I was doing I was eatng too many processed foods too many carbs ns sodithen hopefully ill be 193lbs aug 23rdum after my friends imput I threw out all the processed food ns on my way to walmart to load up on meat (im not a big meat eater) but im going to eat shrimp fish chicken ocassionally eggs yogurt ur know healthy stuff I stepped on the scale a hr ago I said 196.4 wuteva my goal for aug is 193lbs i have 11 days to get there so by me changing my foods up n continue exercising n

    This is my second day on MFP. I am so excited to join this group's message board. This discussion will keep me focused and accountable to handle my business on this weightloss challenge. Looking forward to dropping the pounds and making some new friends along this journey. I would like to have some friends on this site so that we can motivate each other as we transform our lives.

    SW = 350Ibs
    GW = 150 Ibs
    CW = 300 Ibs

    I will begin to weigh myself weekly to chart my weightloss.

    Smiles!

    SEPTEMBER- 315
    OCTOBER - 309

    I missed the first check in so here is a rundown of my weigh-ins:

    Monday check in!

    07/26/12: SW is 213 and GW is 165.

    Goals:
    1 - Aug 205
    2 - Sept 195
    3 - Oct 185
    4 - Nov 175
    5 - Dec 165

    08/06/12: CW 206.8 <-- Admittedly, this weigh in is from Saturday. It's been so long since I've been this close to 200 that I'm afraid to step on the scale again just in case it really WAS one of those fluke happenings where I've lost 10 lbs overnight! I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and enjoy the feeling for a couple of more days -- maybe even until next Monday -- before I get on the scale again.

    Monday 8/13 check-in

    Today's weight is 208.0, which is up 1.2# from last week so I'm a little bit pouty; HOWEVER my pants are also smaller, so I look good while I pout :wink: Seriously though, between my cousin's wedding on Saturday and our family reunion yesterday I'm pretty sure I consumed an entire week's worth of sodium in two days even with staying at or below my calorie range. I plan to give it a day or so to see if it drops off before I let it hurt my feelings.

    Great job ladies! Keep it up!
    My weigh in is on Thursday. I just got a heart rate monitor on Friday and learned that my workouts weren't as effective as I thought they were so I don't know how this weigh in will go. My diet has been decent so far this week though. We'll see.

    Hey Ladies! I love the idea of this challenge and I am so happy to see sista divas supporting and motivating each other!

    I'm Kim from Ohio.
    33 years old. Please feel free to add me.

    SW: 272 (EEEEEEEK!)
    GW: 228 Not my ultimate goal, but I think it's a good start.

    Total Weight loss by December 25: 44 lbs

    GOAL #1: August 23 - 264
    GOAL #2: September 23 - 254
    GOAL #3: October 23 - 246
    GOAL #4: November 23 - 238
    GOAL #5: December 23 - 228

    I'm going to weigh in tonight to confirm my weight, but that's what it was the last time I got on a scale. I will continue to weigh in on Mondays.

    Holding steady at 265 this week. I actually went up .4, but I am determined. I am so close to this months goal. I will not give up. Thanks ladies for the encouragement. And Way to go on all the positive progress.
