Need to lose between 30-40 lbs??

tndiva10

Hi all. Weeks off to a good start. Lots of upheaval, but I haven't been eating over it. I actually have broken 190! Yippee. I swear it's the greek yogurt and fruit combo. I just don't feel the need to scarf down food when I get home. Even when I was eating healthy, I still would get home at eat everything in sight. Now, I don't. LOVE GREEK YOGURT!

Interested to see what tomorrow's weigh in brings. Good Luck All!

I am really having a hard time meeting my fiber intake for each day. 25 is a number I have yet to meet. Any suggestions?

I really like orowheat double fiber bread and english muffins. I never have a problem hitting 30 grams a day

yay! weigh in day is here and I am the first one to be up with the chickens.
Boo! I only had a drop of 0.4. That means now that my mini goal looks unrealistic. oh poo.
Hope everyone else has better numbers!

Good morning my pals, I lost 2 lbs, so 28 more to go. It feels great this challenge, because I'm not by myself. Every time that I need to make a decision, I think about all of us trying to accomplish the 30 lbs. Have a great and healthy day!

What a stressful week at work already!!! My CW is 174

Hey all!!! WEIGH-IN DAY!!!!!!
My CW is 171.2 so i'm down 0.8 from last week.
I can' t wait for the day when I see the 160's!! SO CLOSE... My mini goal was to be 170 by March 5... that's in 2 days... not sure how i'm going to make that but here's to a focused month of March!
We can do it together so stay focused! Everytime I get discouraged I check in to MFP and read other's blogs which has been so inspiring!
NEXT GOAL is 169 by March 10.

godblessourhome

the scale this morning said 145.9. normally, i'd just say 146, but i'm going to take that [-.1] pound drop, darn it. i ate like crap this weekend with my sis in town (breakfast with mimosas, guac and chips for breakfast and an all-you-can-eat brazillion steakhouse for supper). she left yesterday, so after crappy breakfast and lunch choices, i chose to be under my calorie count for supper instead of worrying about all my food groups. i feel like i need to go into detox. lol. my goal is still the same. i hope you have a great week everybody!

Good Morning,

Happy Hump day! So I lost some weight and I am shocked. Girl scout cookies came in and they are a big weakness for me. But I did have a stomach virus last week for a couple days so maybe that made up for it. I don't know. It reminds me of that scene in Devil Wears Prada where the girl says "I am just one flu away from my goal weight". Ha-ha. Cracks me up!

SW 166.8
LW 165.8
Weight today 164.2
Mini Goal - 162
Goal weight by 9/10 135

I am so glad to be losing. But typically I get right about to where I am and then start piling weight back on. It is like my body wants to be at 166-168. Don't know but if I can lose this week or maintain and get over this hump then I will feel better! Here is to a great week.

It's only a small loss (.6) but it's been a steady (if slow) progression down this week -- better than the up and down fluctuations I was have the 2 prior weeks.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think my calories may be too low? I'm thinking of adding 100 cals to my daily intake and see how that pans out over the next few weeks.

Hi everyone. I stepped on the scale this morning and almost jumped for joy. Down two pounds since last Wednesday! YAY! Anyway, reading over the thread, I'd say a lot of us had a difficult time with the pizza over the weekend. My bf bought a pizza stone for us so we can make our own pizza. I haven't been able to get the crust right yet though---way too thick. That's good in that I only need one piece to fill me up, but I go way over my carb allowance for the day. I think I'll try pitas or tortillas for crust next time. He can have his thick crust, but I'd really rather be able to enjoy the toppings and not just the bread.

As to PIZZA, if anybody reads Clean Eating Magazine, this month's issue has an entire section on pizza.

Goal for this week is 3500 calorie burn. I am stalling out here. Trying to play around with the calories to see if I can get things moving again. Need to get back to the losing column.

:noway: :noway: WEEK 3 WEIGH IN:noway: :noway:



Lots of us had a bad week this week. Remember not to get down on yourself for bad weeks. This is about changing your lifestyle, not a quick fix. We all have a problem with food, that is why we are here together! Learning how to eat well with minimum cheats is a very hard task! Together I think we can figure it out, we have 27 weeks to work on it together!

On a personal note, I would really like to thank everyone for your support. This has been a very hard week on me but hearing your words of encouragement has helped. I have eaten so much crap this week it's disgusting. I feel sick and sluggish and I have no energy. It disgusts me that I used to eat fast food around 5 times a week up until a couple months ago. And it disgusts me even more that it makes me feel this way now! Thanks again everyone! I am so happy to have made such great friends on this site, it truly helps! Next week is going to be a fresh start for me in a new home with my family!

Keep it up guys, we can do it!
