I joined early March at about 190.
I'm currently at 182!!

I've been trying to lose 1 lb a week and am pretty pleased!!!

Hi Everyone!
Hope everyone is drinking ALL their water and doing your exercises.
I'm trying to add some new things to my workouts. I like to do things with the stretch band to really work my arms. Even using it for my abs. I'll do legs tonight.
I've been seeing so many dresses out there (in case you don't know, my sister in law is getting married in July and I'm the only one NOT in some form of wedding attire) Short story, she's not crazy about me, I'm not crazy about her (she has as much personality as a rock) and my 2 sis in laws are in it, my hubby and his brothers are not in the wedding but she's making them wear their tuxes, so I'm the only one not in "fancy" clothes. Well, they haven't seen me since Christmas, and her bridal shower is on April 13th, so I'm going to surprise everyone with my 25+ pounds lost (hopefully by then) and then really look good for the wedding (dropping another 30) and wear the most obnoxious dress that sticks out like a sore thumb in the photos (hehehe)
I had bought a dress with high hopes, but I returned it because as small as I plan to get, I still have big droopy boobs that are going to need a major over the shoulder boulder holder that that spaghetti strapped dress was going hide!
I figure, it will be more exciting to go out and shop for a dress once I can actually try them on and zip them up!

I hate to say it, but it's soo true! There's no better motivation is there? Such a nice way to use something negative for a little personal gain.

I hear you on the big boobs - haha - they're annoying but in the right dress....

I have decided that 25 TO LIFE is more like a jail sentence with me. I have counted and burned calories, sweated, and basically deprived my self, yet this weeks weigh in is 3 pounds more :explode: ; I dont know what else to do!!!!!!!

Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat - so as you gain muscle and burn fat sometimes things will look the same. Keep an eye on your body's appearance, maybe measurements. If you're seeing increase in tone/strength you're still on the right track!

Also, can always check your calories to see if the increased activity actually means you need to eat more to keep your body from thinking it needs to store fat.

Hello, my name is Donna and I like toastie pies and driving to work!!! Well that was last week... I am currently 95kg (I think that might be about 170), anyway some of my friends and I here in NZ found this website and we are ready for the challenge. I will touch base after my first week with my highs and lows, good luck to everyone ;o)

Welcome Donna - did you see the new thread? (I think we're on #3 now?)

Wow - you know even if things are stagnating a bit now, I did not realize I'd lost that much weight! And a few pounds before I joined this site.

I'm feeling pretty good about it at the moment and a little surprised.
