    Only the strong stick with it! We can do this everyone! Don't say you can't because if you do, you're being absurd. Everyone can do it. If Others have done so, we can too! Stop making up excuses and get with it. Stick with it. And do it. Don't always trust the scale people. Measure your waist, hips and Chest. Sometimes we gain but those measurements will tell us otherwise (muscle weighs more than fat).

    My problem is baked goods and chocolate. I did good the first week, however this past week I have eaten way too much chocloate and even some baked goods. I seem to have not problem maintaining my weight, but have been stuck at 137 for months! I really want to get to my goal weight of 128.
    No baked goods this week
    No chocolate bars this week (I do eat an Atkins peanutbutter chocolate bar every day for lunch so i will get my chocolate fix from that.
    I am also adding that I want to drink at least 9-10 glasses of water/day. I guess I should also work on decreasing my coffee, as I like whole milk which adds extra colories. I have tried everything else and can only do whole milk.
    Also need to figure out on the days I don't exercise how to get my calories within my limits. I used to beable to do that.
    A lot to work on!

    Hi All
    Hope you are all doing well. Despite having a good week I have not lost anything this week (a first for me) - So I am aiming to mix it up this week.
    Problem food - Grapes, I don't log them and everytime I walk passed the fruit bowl I eat a couple - They are the only thing I don't log, so I am going to log them from here on in.

    Finally, found you guys. I thought the group is lost...are we going to keep jumping thread like this? or will we need to create a group like someone suggested before?
    Last Friday's weight was: 210.4 lbs

    I went on a 8-mile hike in the wilderness of Utah last week. Almost couldn't come back, as I fell so back behind from the pack. Having to stop every 15-20 steps while up climbing a 200-foot slope made me realized how bad of a shape I am in...

    According to Ally Vincent (first female winner from Biggest Losers), if you snack on your fruit with some peanut butter, it'll slow your body's sugar absorption. Alternatively, you can also freeze the grapes in the freezer, and you'll need to take your time to eat it when you do want it.

    The thread only rolls over after every 500 posts. And even then at the bottom of the page of the first thread it gives the link to the new thread. So I don't think its a big deal. We'll just stick with the threads.

    135!!! Down 2 pounds from SW of 137. NOW, I need to stop the cycle, this is where I get lax that I have lost and start eating more junk. I was more strict this past week and finally has paid off.
    Also Greek salad has become my friend!

    This exactly, once I lost a little I started to think... well, you can have more leniency... then BAM weight loss stalled and I freaked out! Got me back on track quick but recently i've been trying to take my losses with a grain of salt lol

    My weigh in for today: 173.2 WOO! A 2.4 lb loss. Twas a bit possibly because I was really sick from a cold. I actually ate a lot while I was sick and drank a lot of water than average. I figured if my body is fighting off this intrusive virus, whatever it was, I really needed to eat. I don't think I've ever binged so much in the past few months. Well, it worked I guess I could say. I was unable to work out on my abs since I was ill. I take getting better seriously and refrain from all exercise, no matter how much it may hurt my training. I'd rather take a few days off to get better than train and spend 2+ weeks sick or something (not to mention, I have a very strong immune system; was planning on achieving my goal of not getting sick this whole year and I almost achieved it!). Next week will be much better with better and more controt\lled eating.

    I'm still continuing my personal challenge (that I am doing with my hubby, whom was the person that encouraged it in the first place) of no sugar with the exception of one weekend day (sat or sun) to eat ONE sugary treat (he's doing it as well since he's losing weight also). It's helping a bunch I would say.

    Good day everyone! If you haven't lost or you gained, keep working on it. It WILL pay off. I plateaued 3 times in a row before I started this challenge and not giving up paid off. I'm close to reaching the 160's, which I have NEVER seen in my life before (and I'm only 20 xD ). KEEP AT IT! If I can do it, so CAN YOU!! We got this! <3

    I think the problem is that many people probably got lost. I know I did and took me a while to realize this had moved on to a different thread.

    Hi all,
    I didn't weigh in last week because I gained 3 lb and I felt totally depressed about it. So I weighed in at 208.3 :-(

    This week I am 205 lb. so back on track I think.

    My goal weight for 26th December 2012 is 201 lb
    I have a problem with bread normally so only limited myself to 5 slices for the whole week, as opposed to the 14-20 slices that i normally would have.

    Hey! :)

    Just wanted to say I'm going on vacation tomorrow morning (for 5 days or so) so I might be a bit late for my next weigh-in (I will try to give you my weight Friday evening or Sat morning). Also, it'll probably be a gain :/ But I'll get back on track super fast :))

    Also, congrats guys because I've seen a lot of losses this week, which is good since there were quite a few gains last week!

    Have a great week!

    xx
