Hi all I've been busy busting my butt and I'm currently finished with Week7Day1 and it went great!! I'm currently doing a challenge with a few friends, each week one of us posts 2 exercise challenges and a food challenge, it's been going pretty good so far. It helps give us that extra exercise push if we are coming up short for a day or want to be an over-acheiver. I've almost hit 100miles walking/jogging since June 8th, I decided to add another 100 to be completed by Sept 8th. I've officially lost 25lbs!! I tried on my wedding dress from 08 and WOW!! I uploaded a pic on my profile if you wanna take a peek. I'm still truckin' along. I hope you all are doing well. Have a safe and healthy week! Bru

Is it too late to join this group? I would love some extra support and info anyone has. I'm 28 just weighed this morning and weigh 245, I was at 260 in May right after my surgery. Please let me know!

Thanks,
Micah

If any of the new people are wondering, we just check-in on Mondays with our current weigh-in, nothing too complicated about it (joining at least). I don't think there are any reminders or notifications...maybe that's something to ask the webmasters about? Just go to the Community tab and then click on My Topics (underneath the blue line at the top of the page, but below the ads) and you'll see when and who posted last on all the threads you've commented on.

Steffi- Congrats on your Masters degree! I have been thinking about going back and getting one (not sure in what), but college is so expensive and I don't want to just take random classes. If you don't mind me asking what did you study?

Newfie- Good luck with your new job! It feels like I just started my new job a week ago, but its really been three. I had been working at the same place for five year and forgot how stressful learning a new job was. So good luck with the job and keep up the good work!

Bru- what a pretty wedding dress! Great job on the weight loss!!

Spikess- I know exactly how you feel. I've been super stressed out and just really haven't wanted to think about anything, let alone posting on a weight loss forum. But you are absolutely right. I always feel a lot more motivated when I visit!

I stepped on the scale Tuesday for the weigh-in and it was back up to 212. Probably all water weight fluctuations...it's been hot and then cooled off on Mon and Tuesday and I haven't been drinking enough water. Went out for a quick walk today after about 3 weeks of no exercise, and ended up jogging most of the way back home. It felt so good to get outside and move!!!

I really don't have an update, but it's Monday, and I'm supposed to post today. For the sake of getting back into habit, I'm posting anyway!

I also have nothing new to post. Weight is at a standstill at 220 right now. This week I was bad, just quit working at McDonald's and took my last week to enjoy my discount. Bad idea, but should be easier not to eat crap now anyways! Time to buckle down properly now... and theres a gym in the building where my new job is, so its just all convenient. Good luck to everyone, and welcome new people!

I keep forgetting to post on Monday but I lost 1.8 lbs this week and am down to 222.6 which is exciting! I am hoping to get down to 214 by my birthday on August 13th..I will be 24. I need to get some new jeans soon..the ones I couldn't fit into last summer are now really loose on me. So I believe I am a size 18 now. I started at a size 22.

@ Tennis: Thanks I took that picture a few months ago when I started losing weight...I was about 10lbs or so down at the time. I only put it up recently though. I should really take another one but my camera broke.
Also thanks for the congratulations. I got my Masters in Human Resources. I have yet to find a job yet though which sucks.

MysterriGal

So I won't be posting here for a while. Can't be losing weight right now. Turns out I'm eating for 2! So excited. I will definitely be back in 9 months to lose the baby weight, plus more.
Good luck to you all, hope everyone has a good summer and reaches their goals!

Hi!

I just turned 22 and I'm currently 212 lbs (started at 232). This sounds like a good group. (: Tomorrow is Monday, so good luck with weigh in, all!

steffi1686

Sorry I have been a slacker and haven't been posting. I finally made a loss of 2lbs after going up and down through the summer. I won't make my mini goal of 214 by my birthday on the 13th but at least I am moving in the right direction again.

Congrats to anyone who lost this week and welcome newcomers!

steffi1686

Lost around half a pound this week. It was my birthday last friday so I went out to eat over the weekend to celebrate. Cake was also involved LOL! Luckily I didn't gain anything since I had my period as well and I am attracted to sweets during that time.
I hope everyone else is doing well. I will try to check in more often.

Oh and I forgot to say this earlier but goodluck Newfie! I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy.

I have a weigh in tomorrow, but I am down below my Labor Day goal of 210 by a pound, which means I'm one pound away from my 2nd actual goal and I get my first ever pedicure (and my hubby wants to get one too!!)

I've been walking and running my butt off as well as doing walk at home video and pilates. SInce doing pilates 2.5weeks ago, I've lost 1n off ea thigh and .5in ea from my upper arms. I started tracking other areas (like thigh, chest, arms, etc) in July and combined with what mfp tracks in inches, I've lost a combined 20inches, I know it's a bit more but since I didn't start tracking everything earlier, I'll never know the exact amount.
I hope you all are doing well. Take care!! Bru

steffi1686

I lost exactly 2lbs this week. I hope I can keep up this momentum.
I also went shopping the other day and now I fit into a size 18! I am so happy. I started at a size 22 so I am happy to have dropped 2 pants sizes. I can't wait to drop another 2 and be a size 14...I haven't been that size since middle school.

@Bru: Congrats! You seem to be doing really well! I need to find something that will help me loose around my arms...I really hate my arm flab.
