Hi Everyone. I pop in weekly to see how everyone's doing. Some great successes this challenge. Wow! Loss of 16, 20, and 30+ pounds. That takes commitment. I am so very happy for each of you! The kind words continue to flow ... so uplifting and reassuring.

It is very reassuring to know that this can be done.

Have a great week everyone!!

LOL! I'll go with that.
I wonder where everyone is today? I'm just going to keep track of my own stats and keep going until I reach goal.

My husband and I recently purchased bikes for ourselves and the kids. We have set a goal of riding bikes with the kids for at least 30mins/6 days a week. We have made it 2 days so far, we started on Monday.

@kbeyer23 I should also add "If you're up to doing it. I'm not an organized person and would have trouble doing that so I appreciate anyone taking the time to do it for us."

kbeyer23

Ok, around the end of May we'll get started on the summer challenge. It will be a great motivator for me to take the lead on this so I don't fall off the wagon over summer.

I looked back at my couple year history on MFP today. Every time I get to this point in my weight loss (about 260lbs) something happens and I give it up and eventually creep back to old habits and gain it all back. Seeing this pattern (not including two stints of weight watchers and Atkins and whatever else! Ugh- so many failed "diets.") is really sobering. I'm nowhere near ready to quit this time. I don't know that anything's really different about my approach other than just being more forgiving of myself and more accountability. For me personally, this is a spiritual journey as well and I've been trying hard to give this battle to God. Cause it really does feel like a war sometimes. Anyways, I'm facing the fear that I will fail again head on, reminding myself to take things day by day and keep putting one foot in front of the other (figuratively AND literally- Gotta get those steps in, dontchaknow!)

This group of people is amazing- keep on keeping on, warriors! I'm looking forward to a spring and summer of success in slimming! Hey maybe that should be the summer challenge title (Summer Slimdown)??? You likey?
