I passed my original goal weight!!!! When I started this a year ago I wasn't sure I would even be able to get to 160lbs but now here I am trying for 145lbs. Also my Navy (reason I started losing weight) appointment is on Monday to see if this is the path I want to take to change my life/career so I am pretty excited about that too!0 -

I am not unhappy with this at all, since I am just finishing up a full week off - meaning maintenance calories and no workouts, for my vacation that included my son's wedding! Remember that the thread resets at 500, and gives you a link to the next chapter of the thread.

So I didn't lose any from last week but I at really bad and didn't workout like I was because work was stressful & busy for me so I am happy that i didn't gain any like I thought i would. Then i got busy again & couldn't post on Wednesday like I wanted to.
I'm hoping next week will be better.

Reason for losing weight going on vacation and don't want to be scared wearing my bikini. Also, tired of clothes being to tight and having to suck it in constantly. I want to look good for my honey and mainly ME!
Well made it back from vacation and went back up to 144.2 but hey I almost ate what I wanted. Being in a different country it was hard to eat period much less healthy. Happy to have been there and happy to be home. But back to reality. Back to the diet.0 -
As I weigh in on Mondays (in my part of the world) it seems I have an extra weigh-in date. It also seems that I was generously easy on myself with my goal weight for these 2-3 weeks that I've been with this challenge!
