Need to lose between 30-40 lbs??

:brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart: COME ON EVERYONE!!!!!:brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart:

What is going on with everyone this week?! We are all so down on ourselves! Lets get back with the program! THIS IS ONLY WEEK 2 OF 30!!! How are we ever going to make it? Lets boost our confidence and get back to where we all were on day 1! Get excited about losing weight again! There is a very long journey ahead of us but with eachothers help and support WE CAN AND WILL DO THIS!!!! I need everyone to sit back right where you are RIGHT NOW and close your eyes. Say to yourself 5 times... "I CAN DO THIS, I WANT TO DO THIS, AND I WANT TO DO THIS FOR ME" Personaly, I know I have had a couple slips this week as well but pick yourself up and keep a steady pace to our finish line! You are allowed to make mistakes, everyone does; it's how you bounce back from them that makes you who you are!!!!
So come on everyone! Keep up the momentum and get your excersise in tonight no matter what!! You will feel so much better about yourself once you do!!!!

WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!
Melissa

AGREED :bigsmile:

got my spin in at lunch, and off to zumba in an hour.
dunno if i will have a loss for tomorrow for the group's WI but I am sure i will for my regular WI on friday which should reflect in next week's group numbers so i am not stressing!

rah rah rah! we can do it!

Melissa, your words couldn't have come to me at a better time. I've totally gone over my calories today, but it's time to bounce back! Thanks for the boost!

Missy inspired me with her encouraging words, so...

My weight has fluctuated a lot this past week due to TOM, but... I did 100 crunches Sunday, and another 100 tonight. They were _really_ hard -- but I finally got to 100. It took me about 40 days to achieve this. I put in the work -- the time, the sweat -- and it paid off.

Success can be measured in more ways than just the numbers on a scale.

Did you choose to eat something healthy today, rather than fast food? Did you get your body moving with some exercise? Did you drink enough water? Did you mess up, but forgave yourself and vowed to do better tomorrow?

Every day is a new chance to do something good for ourselves. Every day is a new opportunity to lay a strong foundation for a healthy future. Every day is a gift, to be treasured -- make the most out of it. Be more forgiving -- of others, AND of yourself. Try something new -- you might like it. Challenge yourself to do something that terrifies you -- you wont know how strong you are until you try. Be with the people that you love, do the things that give you joy, and appreciate all that life has to offer you. Make today the best day you can -- and do the same every day afterward. Smile, laugh, love. Most importantly, love yourself. It's the greatest gift of all.

no change in weight today, which i suspected (maybe by my friday personal WI)
but I still feel good about it as I have been working out hard lately

as I mentioned before i did spin and zumba yesterday, today am doing a circuit type class, then tomorrow more spin and zumba.

I have also been getting more water in which is hard for me.

Hey everyone!

I think we are all going to have our ups and downs but we need to stick to it. Short term we can have great weeks where we lose 3 pounds or bad weeks where we gain a pound. But long term it will even out and it will be DOWN. We have to commit to this long term! I know I feel frustrated with the scale and with myself ALOT, but i do not want to be this heavy (EVeR AAgain) and i cannot give up unless I am giving in to being unhappy with myself! Here it is........'


SW- 185
CW- 176.8

3/10 mini- goal- 170

I missed my goal, but I am still down! Gotta remember to be proud of what was successful. Lets stay accountable to each other and check in everyday if we can! Good luck today!

Missy and Fit_in_2010, you are amazing. You all are really I just read their posts last. I don't feel like I'm becoming stressed about not losing weight, I'm becoming obsessed. Every night before I go to sleep I talk to my husband about my goals, should I change my numbers, exercise levels, activity level...I'm going nuts. I just want to lose weight, and although I'm going on vacay in July, I want to do it the right way even if that means it's not all gone by then. It's my time of month too and I'm just beating myself up. I remind myself a hundred times a day I can do this, but when I weigh in every Wednesday and the scale doesn't move I feel like crap. But you're right, it's not about the scale moving. It's about how I can do 45 on the elliptical somedays and not feel like death, how I finished a really challenging video yesterday and can barely move today, how my husband tells me I don't act or look like the old depressed me and most importantly how before I take a bit of something bad I say to myself, what do I want more: chocolate candy or my life back....I almost always pick my life! Just when I feel maybe I'm not cut out for weightloss I log on and find instant encouragement. Thank you so much for everything and keeping me going when I sometimes don't feel like I want to!

P.S. I did hit my calorie burn of 200 (actually a lot more) this weekend. I love having the challenges to keep me going. And although the elliptical is my favorite thing to do I just started The Biggest Loser Cardio Max...it was amazing. I litterally feel like I can't move today and all I used was myself and a pair of 5lb weights!!! I highly recommend it!

Melissa... I feel your pain! Glad to hear you're still going strong! Keep logging in!

My stats:
CW: 191.5 (as of yesterday) - 2.5 lbs loss from last week; I didn't really have a goal for today since I joined recently
GW: 135 (obviously, I'm all about this number)
Mini 3/10 Goal: 188

my weight is up this week to 199lb only a pound but still...my mini goal for march 10 is 195lb. It was just one of those weeks I had a hard time with my workouts. I tend to bet myself up if I don't do as good or as much as I planned. Its really hard when I am following someone elses workout plan because if I don't messure up than I feel like I failed.
so I have started to repeat to myself.

the only time you truely fail is when you don't try.

hope everyone has a great workout today.

Hi everyone - I'd like in!

My name is Shannan and I'm 36, married for 11 years, no kids. I work as a lab manager for the dental hygiene department of a college here in Miami (I'm also a hygienist, but don't work in private practice). I was on mfp last year and managed to take off 25 pounds, but 12 have crept back on since I have let my guard down (those little compromises sure add up!). Instead of getting mad at myself (this isn't the first time this has happened) I'm going to kick my own butt here and look forward to some motivation and support from you good people!

I injured my neck some years ago and in January, it flared up again. Since I've been going to the chiropractor 3x a week, that has replaced going to the gym 3x a week and I'm all jiggly. Tonight is the first time I will be able to get back to exercise in over a month!

I look forward to getting to know you all better!

Heaviest - 207
start - 194
mini goal 2/24 - uh, that's, like, today
mini goal 3/10 - 189
final goal 9/11 - 150
