    I hope it is alright if I can join. I just saw this, "Surviving Summertime Weight Loss Challenge" right now and it looks amazing!

    Today's Weight: 183 lbs.
    Goal By End of Summer: 155 lbs. (I'm here for 14 weeks till I go back to school, so 2 pounds a week is around a weight loss of 28 pounds... it's hard a goal, but I'm going to try!)
    Overall Goal: 130 lbs.

    I wish you all luck and I'm always here for support... Good luck. :glasses: We can do this!

    So far this group has lost 17.2 lbs this week!

    Some people didn't put in the amount of weight they lost this week and only the amount lost total so I did count everyone, but that's the total for everyone who specified!!


    GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!!!! :drinker: :drinker:

    Weight loss/gain: -2/+2

    I had lost 2 pounds but after this past weekend they are on again. I binged on junk food and beer with the boyfriend all weekend and to top it off it is my favorite time of the month. I'm really hoping I can get back on track today though.

    Does anybody have any tips on how to keep it under control on the weekends? That is my hardest time.

    Wow, what a great group.

    I think since I have sooooo much weight to lose, I am going to make a short term summer goal of losing 10% of my weight now, which would be 30.3 lbs to lose by 9/1. I think I can do it. That way I feel I have acheived something if (when, when) I make it there.

    You guys are great, really!!!

    I try to plan out what I'm going to eat, and factor in the drinks. :drinker:
    When I feel that I've been just too naughty, I get the husband and take a long walk or let the cat chase me around the apartment. So long as you work it off, you'll be better than just chilling on the couch being a cute munchie face (which is so much fun sometimes!!)

    I have a question though....I have ovarian cysts and tend to eat when I'm hurtin'. What's a good way to work around it?
