    I will weigh myself tomorrow at work, (that's the scale I normally utilize for consistency) But for the week I've done Zumba 45min sessions everyday except for yesterday and today. (I normally take one of the weekend days off but in this case it was unscheduled to take both days)

    mistij... That's great that your husband is joining you! Double the motivation! Generally people recommend a steady loss of about 1-2 lbs / week. More than that is too fast, and you will be more likely to gain it back.

    treenuh... Your workouts sound like mine. Some 30DS, some cardio here and there, some strength thrown in... Whatever! It's all good.

    tina... I am loving my elliptical these days. This week it's been my main form of cardio.

    kiki... I bet those twins are keeping you busy! I've added you to the chart.

    6"o'fury... Love the user name. What kind of crossfit stuff do you do? I really don't even know what crossfit is, but it seems to be all the rage - or fury - these days.

    mimi... ZUMBA!!! Love it! I think I will Zumba up a storm for tomorrow's workout!
    _____

    As for me, my workouts have been EXCELLENT, but today I not only had some sugars (maple syrup on french toast, and honey - but it was in my strong herbal tea, that is literally not going to be drunk unless it has honey in it!) and then I went a little crazy on my sibling's left over Easter chocolate. Next time I need to hide it in the cupboard. Other than that, I'm looking forward to the start of a great new week, and going out of town on Thursday!

    Hi ladies, I'd love to join you! I've been having a heck of a time geting motivated lately, lots going on in the homelife and whatnot. I'm pretty sick of not trying and therefore not making any progress! I'm hoping if I get on board with you guys it'll light a fire under my butt to try and keep up =)! I was 180 this morning =(, would like to be 165 by the end of our challenge!

    MissBum... You can do this! I've added you to the list!

    Just another note to everyone to check in by Wednesday afternoon if you want me to update your weights this past week. I weight in tomorrow! (But my eating hasn't been totally on track these past 2 days.)

    I just weighed in today down 0.8 lbs so my new current weight is 185.4. Doing pretty good but haven't been making all the best food choices.

    ok so we need to weigh in by Wednesday every week? I can do any day--just wanna do what's easiest for everyone.

    right now I've just started working with a cross fit trainer doing one on ones. she changes it up every time which is cool but I definitely thought I was gonna puke a couple of times. the feeling of accomplishment is amazing though so don't let that scare you.

    i'm really excited for this group. I hope everyone will stay active. the last group I was in fizzled out after a week!!!!

    Hey ladies I'd love to join in if I can! Everyone feel free to add me :)

    SW:187 (before mfp)
    CW:175

    I would love to get down to the 150s if I could! That's only 16 pounds in 9 weeks, less that 2 a week. Very doable. I would be back to weighing what I did when I was 16!

    Edit: By the way, I'm currently doing the 30DS, but doing the exercises twice (finishing the 3rd stage of level 1 and doing all 3 again before cooldown) That way when I edge up to Level two, I can start by replacing only one with level 2, before I step up to doing two run throughs of level 2 every morning.

    Hey I would love to join too. I love eating which I never used to when I was younger always 9 stone hence the huge weight gain as I have found my love of bad foods! I would like to be around 140- 145 in 9 weeks. I am now 163. I just wondered if you guys had any exercise regimes that I can do a home?

    I'm on holiday in 8 weeks & have been static for weeks, I weigh 165 lbs (my goal for today was initially 150lbs) with ultimate goal is 133lbs (9½ stone) but can't see me achieving that for my holiday - being apple shape I've been looking at bikinis with BIG pants!
    Realistically I should be able to reach 150lbs HELP!!

    Is this just staying as a topic or will it go to a group so it's easy to find?
    I'm still finding my way round as (when I remember) I've generally only used MFP to log my food intake

    Is it too late to join? I'll weigh in again tomorrow but my current weight is 142 and my goal is 130. I'm 5'7" and 29 years old. I switched to MFP from another tracking site in January but this is my first time exploring the message boards. I'm hoping having some motivation will help me break through this plateau!

    Hi, I'm Jen and I would like to join as well, if it isn't too late! I have been using MFP since February and I guess I need a little motivation and accountability to really lose some weight.

    So I weighed in yesterday, and fairly bummed to report my weight was 191. I just can't seem to get out of the 190's for good. I know my eating was (and is) off track last week, but I'm not eating enough to gain that much am I? Sigh.... Here's to another day and week!
