    blondie76 – I hope that’s a good wow!!
    allislefttogain – Thanks for the compliment but I’m really just selfish and doing it for myself, haha. If I’m accountable to this many people I have to keep on track!
    melbhall – Thank you for the wonderful idea for the graph and the encouragement to start the group! As I always say (and mean every time I say it) I couldn’t do it without you.
    enromero – Don’t worry about it, I’ll add you into next week’s graph! Happy that you are still in the army!
    mrslocke09 – Welcome to the Weight loss army! Can’t wait to lose with you!

    What does everyone think about adding in some weekly challenges?


    always good with me!!!

    I'm in for some weekly challenges...as long as it doesn't involve no snacking/eating after 7 ;)

    aml0484 – Thanks, I’m very happy with the chart, I can’t wait until a few more weeks when we can start to see actual trends.
    tgeorge0207 – WELCOME TO THE ARMY!! I’ve already added you to the chart so I hope you’re here for the Monday weigh-in tomorrow so you can see yourself there!
    blondie76 – Excellent! I’ll post something tomorrow with my weigh-in regarding a challenge.
    allislefttogain – Haha, oh is that your weakness? We might have to target that in a few weeks then, haha!
    hooah_mj – That’s great! I can’t wait to see your loss tomorrow! I’m a very visual person too so it really helps me.

    Alright recruits! Tomorrow is weigh-in, get in your last workouts! I’m really hoping for more than just a 0.2 loss this week. I’ll post the graph on Tuesday so if you weren’t able to log your weight on Monday make sure to get it in on Tuesday morning. See you all tomorrow!!

    1st. I'm down to 174! I don't know how I lost, I have barely been working out, and have still been eating (even though I've been sick). But, a loss is a loss. I have been drinking more water and less wine. This is just the encouragement I needed!

    2nd. I think adding in challenges will be great. I'm slowly finding the motivation I once had and I think I need a "little more" to vamp it up!

    3rd. Jenn!!! Thank you so much for starting the group. I'm finally feeling decent about myself again and I actually look forward to my weekly weigh in!!! Love ya!!!!

    Ha ha, nope! I have dance until 7 on Sundays and so I usually eat around 8. But in general, I tend to save my calories for later in the day...I eat about 40% of my calories before 2 and like 60% after. Trying to make it more even, but afraid of getting hungry later on in the day and not having the calories to eat :)

    Starting Weight: 131.2
    Last Week's Weight: 129.6
    Current Weight: 128.6

    Down another pound! I'll take it!

    melbhall – I’m so proud of you! Also, I’m super happy that we are back on track, I know that we’ve been a little distracted lately. I’m happy that this is helping you so much, I know it’s helping me a ton!
    allislefttogain – Alright, I won’t make that a challenge so that you don’t starve, we don’t want that. Congrats on the pound down!
    Plwarder – Holy consistent batman! 2 pounds down per week is fantastic!
    gloomyBEAR_QT - Ummm. . thanks for testing on our thread. . .

    My turn!
    SW – 208.3
    LW – 208.1
    CW – 207

    I couldn’t be happier with my 1.1 pounds lost! I’ve been riding a 0.2 pounds down per week for 3 weeks now.

    I think our first challenge should be water, for this week everyone is to try their best to drink at least 8 glasses of water! We can do it! I’d love so suggestions for the next challenge! Graph will be up tomorrow! See you then!

    Love seeing challenges posted! Drinking 8 glasses of water will be a struggle for me but I'm up for it. I've only been up to about 4 cups each day but I will try my hardest. I know upping my water will make me feel so much better!

    Great job to those who have posted! Hope we can all keep it up, we're doing great!

    have a loss to report. Down to 195.0. Super excited that I surpassed my original b-day goal of 199.9. I lowered it to 191.2. Didn't quite make it and am totally ok with it. I knew it would be a stretch. Looks like everyone so far has had a good week. Keep up the great work!

    Down 1 pound to 237. Better than Nothing.
    Ok so, drinking all 8 glasses of water every day this week. Going to be tough, but I knowcan do it!
    I find that (at least for me) It is easier to drink water that is not ice cold.

    No loss is better than a gain! Be proud, maintaining is hard work too!

    TWO-STEPS-FORWARD, ONE-STEP BACK!

    I dropped 1.8 pounds since my last weigh-in! A total of 19.2 pounds so far!

    I had orignially posted on my profile that:
    "I'm debating whether I need to readjust that drop.
    Just trying to keep it real.....to make-up for my achy-breaky past couple of days.......
    I know/believe that I put on what I initially lost."

    Had thought: "What to do? Would it suffice to start true or keep it & work back.....???" So I'm keeping it, but I'm gonna need to really work it this week to keep those #s...!!!!

    Hope you're all going strong...ever closer...
  • I forgot to post my weigh in yesterday! Sorry about that! I was really scared yesterday to weigh myself after a long hard weekend! Texas Motorspeedway on Saturday for Nascar and Sunday was my 4 year anniversary with my fiance. So needless to say there was a whole lot of bad eating, over eating, and lack of exercise... soda's, cookies, funnel cakes, chicken on a stick! Well I guess everything i did good during the week helped me out. I went from 209.5 to 208! I lost 1.5 lbs this week!

    Starting weight on 2/17: 223.5
    Weight as of 4/19: 208
    Goal Weight as of 10/10: 150

    Hello hello! I'm so happy with the graph this week! It's really starting to take shape. If you don't see your name on the graph that's because I didn't see a new post from you for this weeks weigh-in. Feel free to message me or post on here and I'll update it. Only takes a sec.

    barty – Down 3 pounds?!?! My goodness you are really giving it! Congrats!
    melbhall – I know you can do it!
    blondie76 – No change might mean you didn’t lose weight this week but it also means you didn’t gain any so that’s a positive. Next week will be your week, I just know it!
    fordbarth – Looks like you’ve had a good week. Use that as motivation on those night shifts!
    ykantoro – You are doing so well! Remember slow and easy wins the race.
    aml0484 – I’m loving the reported loss! Keep on working it!!
    sweet148angel – Down 1 pound is great!! Drink your water this week and let’s up that 1 pound loss to 1.5 this week!
    enromero – Oh my goodness! 2.5 inches and 1 pound down! You’re a rockstar!
    hooah_mj – I like the positive “I’m keeping it” and using that as motivation for this weeks weigh-in! You can do it!
    christina_255 – With all that and a 1.5 pound loss I’d be happy as pie!!

    So far, so good on the water!! I pulled out one of my Nalgene bottles, and keep that filled. It holds just over 32oz so I just keep in mind that I have to drink 2 bottles each day.
    how is everyone else doing?

    I'm doing good too! I have had about 4 cups of water so far today. A few weeks ago I cut out all the soda and most flavored drinks. It is much easier now to get my water in. Every other day I allow myself a bottle of the H2oh! bubbly water. Hope everyone is having a good day!

    sweet148angel - That's a great plan! I use a water bottle that holds 24 oz and I make sure to drink 3 a day. That brings me to 9 glasses a day. Monday I drank 10! I was so happy with that but yesterday I literally had to choke the last 2 glasses down to get to 8 but I did it! I kept thinking, I can't be the head of a group and not complete my own challenges, haha.

    aml0484 - That's fantastic that you've cut out sugary drinks! 4 down 4 to go for you today! I know you can do it! Woo hoo!


    I really hope everyone else is keeping up with the water challenge!

    Okay, so it's not even close to our official weigh in day, but I'm going to be away from home for the next 2 weeks so I did my official weigh in again so I would have a new number to post for this up coming mondays. Last week I lost, and just in the last 4 days I've lost again....and I'm even on my period!

    The offical number I will post the next two mondays because I won't have a scale is 172.8!!! Yay! I just may enter the 160's by the time I get home!

    Don't worry, in case you don't see this Jenn, I will record my number on Monday as 172.8!!!
