    CW 231.8

    Wow! 4.4 lbs? I had to weigh myself three times before I believed it... I know the next 100 lbs isn't going to fall off like this, but what a motivating start!

    That was my warmup week... this week I start going to the gym 5 days a week and incorporate some circuit training. (Honestly I'm a little nervous about the circuit training class, but I'm going for it anyway...)

    I'm going to keep trying out the yummy recipes I've gotten off the forums here, try to incorporate more veggies and limit myself to one drink every night this coming week... hopefully that will help keep the lbs coming off!

    Everyone looks like they're doing great, whether y'all lost a chunk or not you're sticking with it. Keep up the awesome work! =D
    So proud of you,that's great!! Yeskeep doing it and the weight will surely come off!!!

    Hi! I'm 27 and a single mom and student. I have lost 80+ lbs since December but the loss has really slowed down the last several months. I'd like to get to the 100 lb mark by the end of the year but I don't think that's realistic now. I would like to try to at least get down to about 170, so 15 more pounds. I started 30 Day Shred today and am going to keep walking and running as well. I really need to focus on tracking, eating better and drinking more water too. I'm up a few pounds from just the other day. Starting weight today is 184.8. I'm getting nervous with the holiday's coming up. I really want to stay on track and see some more results

    Hello everyone! New to this challenge but so looking foward to it. Since I had my son I have lost about 45 pounds but I want to lose another 40 pounds. It is hard for me to lose weight. I am hoping that this challenge will help me get to my goals.

    I'm sad, fellow mamas. I unfortunately didn't lose any weight this week. I don't get it, I'm eating a lot less, not even eating any chocolate now but I can't seem to see a difference. I really hope I start seeing some progress in the coming days or I fear the worst..... Forfeiture :(

    On the plus side, I didn't gain any. Well done all of u soon to be slinky slim ladies ;)

    I'm in late, but I love this. I'm totally in!

    Mom to a 11, 10 and 8 year old. I have 80lbs to loose and I really need to step up my game. I gained 80lbs with my last pregnancy and have remained at this weight since then (Yes, I know...he's 8!). I work night shift RN at a hospital an hour from home. Sleep is limited much less time to exercise. Since I work 3-4 nights a week, my goal will fluctuate with my schedule. My goals are:

    1) LOG EVERYTHING!
    2) Exercise 3-4x's per week
    3) Loose 5-8 lbs in 4 weeks.

    I was doing awesome on MFP, went on vaca and just didn't come back. Starting fresh! Please feel free to add me!

    Check in for the week...didn't lose, but didn't gain. Managed to login everyday and also get my exercise in. Happy with that and looking forward to a loss next week (sometimes goes in spurts for me). Great work everyone!

    2. Exercise at least 5 days per week.
    3. Start interacting weights into my workout at least 3 days per week.
    4. Stop eating past 8:00pm
    5. Eat lot and lots of healthy snacks....

    I can totally relate.im super nervous about the holidays also.but just see how far you have come,and focus on that.For a whole yr i got too comfortable with where i was at,i thought i lost 60 lbs,i deserve a break,but im still not happy because im not at goal weight.So just dont stop,i finally knew that i had to keep going,and even though i did gain 10 lbs,i noticed it for sure.so now that the holidays are right around the corner,i cant gain anymore.
