    Everyone is in..please keep writing your successes and challenges for the day. Remember Monday morning is weigh in day.

    I am getting stuck on 180 or 181....it always happen and i am working really hard to get over that hump. Seems like its what my body remembers. So yesterday morning i was 180. Yesterday did good on food intake, hiked for an hour, did 15 minutes on the treadmill and then 20 minutes of weights with my trainer and this morning I am at 181.5. Go figure!

    I'm in. My goal is 83 lbs and I'm down 21 lbs. That's about half of what I have left to lose so that would be a great goal for me too!

    I created a group if anyone would like to join. Just somewhere to post progress and weigh in and motivate each other.

    I'll do this with you!! I'm losing my motivation already! I'm seeing the scale move but in both directions! One day I'm down, the next I'm up! I want to be down 30 lbs by early next year! It's going to be a journey but I HAVE to cut out the cravings, commit to 4 days at the gym and say NO ! Keep me motivated and I will try to do the same for you!

    Count me in - I have 30 - 35 lbs to lose (depending on which way the wind blows). Being part of a group would be strong motivation for me :-) Do we just follow here on the message board, or will someone create a group? Still new, so forgive me if that is a silly question.

    I'm in! 30lbs has been my goal for over a year now and I've been so up and down with my progress . It was only this morning did I realize that I really need to step it up. My pants were feeling way too snug this morning. :(

    I'm with you! I'm about the same weight and needing to get down to at least 155 - 150s. I try to stay around 1200 calories a day and try to exercise a little every day. At least getting in a walk or 2 and some time on my stationary bike.

    Hi everyone..long day for me. Had to get up at 5:30am to be at a meeting an hour away at 8am....then another meeting that last until 12noon then off to a lunch meeting @ 12:30pm ate just salmon and salad....worked all afternoon then at 6pm went to the gym for an hour, then grocery shopping now at 8:30pm i am finally home.

    I havent been losing weight at all but in fact gained 2 lbs...what i have learned is that id yo take ibuprofen, you will retain water. So i have to lay off the pills if i want to see a weight loss.

    Now to read everyone's progress.

    Hi

    yes Ibuprofen can cause water retention so drink plenty or water and watch your salt intake and minimise taking them! Are you measuring for inch loss as well as you sure are working out a lot - also aches in the muscles means they are retaining water ? need a recovery day just gentle stretches etc? Few thoughts......

    Don't get discouraged its only water!

    I got 32 to go.

    Started at 246, current is 192 and my goal is to get to 160.

    Last two weeks I've lost 5lbs. I've been on a tear. Under my caloric goal by 200+ cals and doing my cardio + walking dog + busy school schedule. I'm confident I will get there. Can't wait.
