    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 ;)
    Dont be sad,did you take any mesurements? sometimes the scale wont sgow,but will with inches!!

    Thank you... I will take your advice about the measurements and keep on pushing through =)

    Hey!! I am actually starting up a similar group as well, but its through a private online facebook challenge. Thats awesome that you are ready to get back on track. I had recently stared that journey myself. Back in May i said enough was enough, and started doing Insanity... fast forward 5 months, and i've now lost 20 lbs, and gone down almost 5 sizes. I feel soooooo much better, and motivated to helping others. Getting started is sometimes the hardest part!! Great to meet you ladies! :)

    Sorry to hi-jack here but your before and after pics are great! I would love to know how you did it and how you stayed so focused and motivated! Would love to join your facebook challenge!

    I so need to join this group! I was doing so good and then something happened - I can't track calories anymore, bored of the gym. Probably because my MFP friends are no longer on it and my gym buddy left when she became pregnant.

    I am in Langley (British Columbia), have 2 children (8 and 20 months), and need to lose 10-15 lbs!.

    I am in... just gotta remember to come back and check in. I am needing to lose a min of 60 lbs by next year so I am aiming 10 lbs a month till xmas. I always lose faster in the winter and have a hard time in the summer so I am going to push as much as I can while I can. I need as much help as I can get.

    Just checking in (forgot to do it last night)
    1st weigh in

    SW 260.5
    CW 261

    Goals for the week water water and more water, I really need to get more water in my routine. I am now keeping a bottle on my desk and its helped but not really enough any suggestions would be great.
    Also I need to lose weight this week, but I think I did pretty good after just getting back on track this week (after a month off the wagon) and not weighing in at the first of last week (I didn't want to see the number) so I know its a gain and I shouldn't be ok with it, but I am THIS week, but never again.

    I feel I should have a better handle on things since I've been doing this for what seems like a lifetime. None-the-less, here I am still trying to get it right one day at a time. I'm a 46 year old mother of two (son-13, daughter-10). I work from home with my husband (he'd say I work FOR him, clearly he's delusional). [Shameless plug: DCMETHOD provides furnished short-term housing for folks coming into the Washington, DC area]. I've been overweight since my 10+ birth. Got as high as 331 pounds. Currently at 183.5 and have been there for a while. I've been through a number of phases on MFP. My current weight loss of 50 pounds started on Dec. 2, 2011. I was hoping to get to my goal of 170 by the anniversary date. Making my needs a priority is always a challenge as you all know, but I've simply got to do this for me. We all deserve to be FIT and FABULOUS so LET'S DO THIS! Feel free to add me.

    I guess I should join this too... I am 36, almost 37, and have about 40 lbs. to lose. I've been at a standstill for a couple months now. It's not really a plateau because I know what I am doing wrong - eating and drinking too many calories. I have gotten into way more exercise and fitness this year, but then I eat back all my exercise calories and then some. So what I really need to focus on is not rewarding myself with too much food/wine every time I have a good workout.

    I am running 3 - 4 times a week and then doing some light strength training 2 - 3 times a week, so I'll just continue that. I just need to stick to my calorie goals. I'd love to lose 4 lbs. this month.


    This is me! I am at a standstill, actually have gained 3 pounds since August- am working out 5-6 days a week but eating it all back at the end of the day when I am starving! It seems that I focus on exercise and my diet falls about or I focus on diet and my exercise falls apart- I just need to get it together!

    I'm in! I lost 30 lbs in winter 2010. Gained 10 back in summer of 2011 (6 months later, ugg). Stayed there until Spring 2012 when I gained another 10 lbs. I'm now ready to lose what I have gained back. I was happy at my 30 lb loss so that is where I plan to journey to.

    SW (2010): 179
    CW: 162
    GW: 145-150 depends on how I feel when I get there.

    30 day goals:
    1- Plan all my food for the day ahead of time and eat that and nothing else.
    2- Stay within my alloted calories for the day.
    3- Exercise 30 min/day at least. Even if it's just a walk around the block.
    4- Drink more water and less beer. :wink:

    Not really concerned about how much weight I might lose in the next 30 days. I feel like if I can get these things in order then the weight will start to drop off. I also want to be accurate with my cals in and out so I can figure out what my real TDEE is. I'm going to stay as consistent as possible for science sake. Good luck everyone. I will do my best to check back every Monday.

    Congrats, ladies!

    Today was my weigh-in day. I'm down 3.5 pounds since last Wednesday, but I don't know if that's a real number. I was sick earlier this week, so I didn't eat very well. I guess we'll see!

    My goal is to lose 1.5-2 pounds a week. That means I am going to have to up my exercise, so there's another goal: up my exercise.
