    I lost 1.8 lbs this week, I also bought Chia Seeds to add to my water 15 minutes before I eat. I notice I eat less because of it too. Add Chia Seeds to your daily diet.
  • I am the same as I have been for Months now! :( I am hoping for change soon tho.

    I've been frustrated recently because I finally reached that legendary plateau after 30 lbs. It sucks that I hit that just as I started in my first couple of challenges>.< but I an still sticking to my diet and exercise, and hope the results of my work will show up in the next couple of weeks.

    Just to boost my motivation, i pulled out my gym assessment from back in July and did my current measurements: since July I've lost more than 5 inches off my hips and 7 inches off my waist! That made me feel really good, so I'm pumped to keep going now!

    I'll submit my week one weigh in on Friday; hopefully I'll have seen some results by then! !

    No worries girl! I am a little over my lowest weight and just under my starting weight for the challenge (.4) but I know I just have to keep at it and I will be back into it. I am already starting to feel healhier and want to be more active and actually work out! So that has got to be something good right! 1 thing that keeps me going is having a goal. That is why I weigh in on Fridays. I f I can be good Monday through Thursday and be less than what I was the prev Friday I can have a delicous treat that day...... It works pretty much each week and with the holidays and sickness we had I lost site of my normal routine, so this week I am going to see if I can get back to that and also drink nothing but juice and water and (1) cup of coffee all day. So far I have had 2...... Tomorrow is a new day!
  • I lost 2.6lbs last week, am on track with my eating but not so motivated to work out :(. My plan for this week is to drink 8oz of water 30mins before each meal ( usually eat 5/6 meals a day) hopefully this help me get fuller faster. I am also gonna try and workout for 30mins 4 days out of the week.

    I love your attitude..... alot like mine right now. I finally reached my lowest weight yet (since 2006) and then I have slowly krept on 3 lb or so and just keep going up and down..... really looking forward to seeing some unfamiliar numbers again..... I weight Friday and I am hoping to see something in the 250 range and begone completely of the 260's!

    Good luck! We can do this!

    Stayed the same here... but that isn't unusual for me. I made mostly good choices, and I know if I keep it up, the weight will start coming off! Hopefully next week I will have a better answer!

    Lost 2lbs,, but I did have an aniversary dinner this past weekend, so we will see what this coming week looks like. I am also trying fasting 1 to 2 days a week for health reason. I will let you know how it works :)

    Last week was not too good for me. I was so stressed and made some bad choices. Right now I'm trying to regroup and get back into it. I plan on purchasing a new workout vid to start this week. I think I'm just bored with my latin dance/jillian micheals routine. Time to switch it up!

    Also, has anyone tried the special k challenge?
  • Hi Ladies,

    I did not weigh myself last week. So since my first weigh in (Dec.26) I lost 6-7 lbs. These have been some difficult weeks because I have had a cold off and on, so I have not been able to exercise as much as I would like, but I continued to monitor my calorie intake which has benefited me.

    Good Luck everyone :)

    That is great!!! Awesome job!! :)
  • Hi,

    I haven't tried the challenge recently, but I did it around 6 years ago and It did help me and some of my friends to to lose weight. I think it is good challenge, it helps you monitor the foods you eat because you only have to pay attention to one meal. My suggestion would be to purchase my than one cereal flavor and take advantage of their snacks and protein drinks so you will not become bored with the cereal.

    I've also stayed the same this week (181). That's quite usual for me when I start up with the gym again after a little while. I have a NSV though; I discovered I can flex a little bit of muscle now ;)

    I'm still the same, but TOM has finally decided to make an appearance (I got all symptoms but never a visit last month) so hopefully the water weight will drop and I can get off this silly plateau.:grumble:

    My weight and measurements have been all over the place this past week, but - as of today - I'm down a bit overall. TOM just left, though, so the losses could be due to his bloated butt leaving... Here it is:

    Starting Weight: 124.2
    Today: 122.2
    Goal: 121

    Starting natural waist: 27"
    Today: 26.75
    Goal: 26"

    Starting waist (@ belly button): 30"
    Today: 29.5
    Goal: 29"

    Starting thigh (@ largest part): 22"
    Today: 21.75
    Goal: 20.5"

    Edited to remove duplicate post...
  • My week 1 weight is: 141. This is down a pound from where I was right after Xmas (my last weigh in was 2 weeks ago.) It's still however up 6 lbs from where I was 6 weeks ago. That's the goal.

    Congrats to those who lost. I love reading stories of losing inches! Great job. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so as you lose the flab the weight loss will slow (that's what I keep telling myself...I'm not losing as rapidly because I have way more muscle now than I did before, and the fat is slow going!)

    I held steady on my weight, no loss, no gain. The change in my weight that appears on my ticker is not a gain, just that I finally updated my 3 LB Christmas gain when I weighed again this morning. I've been consistent though and am getting my workouts in so I expect to see more progress soon. Angela, still 205.
