    I'll check in with my weight on Monday, forgot to do it last week, I lost 1lb last week and am on course to lose 1-2lbs this week. Haven't yet mastered the art of regular exercise, apart from walking to the train station each day so need to incorporate some more, will crack it this week I'm sure!

    Even normal walking is exercise so don't sweat it too much! The goal is to make changes that are sustainable.

    Weighed in at 243.2... exactly 2 pounds down from my last weight. The funny thing is that I weighed myself last night and was still at 245. I might have still been digesting stuff or something.

    @mlagena: Don't worry about that! I have seen many people post that they have experienced anywhere from 2-6 pound weight gain during that time, but then it goes away after.

    @tennisref: wow 3 pounds down..great job!

    @ Nola: great job! 4 pounds lost is a lot.

    @spikess: You still lost 1 more pound than me!

    Everyone is doing so well!

    Hey guys.

    Forgot to weigh in yesterday, but did it this morning *right after breakfast even! and I'm down to 230. Not a huge loss, but, 2 lbs, I'll take it! Probably more like 1.5, but still! I didn't even hardly work out last week. And I was over on my calories. Maybe the scales wrong! haha. But I'll still take it.

    Now, just 23 more to go!
    Well, ultimately 70, but, Dr. said 23 is good for now!

    @dianeg1981: Welcome to the group! We are basically here to help motivate each other..chat, share concerns, recipes, ect.

    Our weigh ins are every Monday and hopefully they will help everyone stay accountable.

    @dmmarie21: Great job and a loss is still a loss! Maybe your body has an increased metabolism? I have heard a lot of people say that when they ate more they lost more weight

    @blueeyeddragon: Welcome to the group! I am from Wisconsin so we are sorta like neighbors. LOL! At least now spring is coming and the snow has melted here. Today was a whopping 50 degrees. I can't wait until it is in the 70s though! I will feel much more motivated to walk....walking at night in the summer is the best since the air smells so nice and it is peaceful.

    Sorry I missed the weigh in! I'm 206 at the moment, the scale hasn't budged this week which I'm a bit disapoointed about, but hey, onwards and upwards (or downwards!) :smile:

    @snorker: On the bright side you haven't gained anything.

    I weighed in at 207lbs so 2lbs lost a total of 18 so far. Started the EA sports 30 day challenge that according to MFP, means I should be up to 28lbs lost within another 5 weeks :-)

    I'd like to join! I'm 24, 5'4" and 240lbs right now. My ultimate goal is about 150, so a good bit to go. My biggest weight was been 250. 1.5lbs a week seems reasonable, so my goal is set for about June of next year. But I need motivation!
