    Current Weight: 179
    # down since starting group: 1.2
    Hardest Part: Watching the scale go down and then up and up again! I'm feeling better, but the number isn't reflected on the scale. Recently upped my calories and I'm waiting for my metabolism to kick it up a notch.

    Reasons for staying in the group: I need the accountability!

    1. Your Current Weight (as of this morning 5/9) - 209
    2. The # of total lbs you are down since you started this group 4.

We all have challenges and this is a nice support system for helping us stay motivated. I also like that this group has a goal with an end date.

    Good idea to keep this in mind...

    1. Your Current Weight (as of this morning) - is 183
    2. The # of total lbs you are down since you started this group - 3 pounds lost in 3 weeks (down from 186 on week 1; & down from 260 a year ago).
    3. The hardest part so far: I've been eating out a lot and meeting friends for drinks, going away parties, etc. It's a ton of sugar and useless calories. It caused my original 4 pound weight loss to back-track a bit.
    4. Your reasons for staying in this group: I like reading everyone's posts, successes and challenges. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in trying to lose weight - which I was before discovering MFP.

    the hardest part of this challengeis seeing the number go up and down the same 2 or3 pounds.why im staying is this group is because it keeps me motivated and on track.

    I no longer have a access to a desktop computer during the week so that's why I have slowed down posting.

    Sw: 173
    Sunday: 168.4 (I think)
    This morning: 166.8
  • On April 22, I replied that I was 218. Yesterday and this morning, I weighted 215.4.

    The hardest part is dealing my own demons...... I hit a "I'm worthless, so it doesn't matter" funk for several days that I hope I'm coming out of.

    I stay b'c if I leave, I know there is no hope of me continuing even if I'm not participating as much as I should be.
